Nimbus Summit the one that i came with, she had to go

oh, yeah. that had done it. Aria never did have much of a poker face. Casmir watched as her countenance fell and she fumbled for words -- but it was not satisfaction he gained from hurting her.  it was guilt. yet he was in too deep to back out now; he nodded as she spoke. "that's good." the news of his brother caused his single ear to flip back momentarily -- what did Constantine make of this all?

"rad," the boy drawled. "i'll hafta go catch up with Connie sometime soon then." she didn't want his help and he was sure that her boyfriend would go along mindlessly with whatever she wanted, so he glanced between the two of them. 

if he was being truthful, there was a single spark of pleasure in which he reveled, knowng his words had struck home, and the only reason there was for that was that she still felt for him. in that moment he wanted to take her aside, to pour out all the love and resentment and aching loneliness he'd felt these past weeks without her.

i missed you.

Casmir didn't say a word of this, of course; he nodded at the idiot man and smiled in Aria's direction. "guess i'll be going then. nice to meetcha, dude. good to see you, Aria." that part he did mean, and so his tones rang true. "come by the creek sometime," he offered, preparing himself for the killing blow. his golden eyes gleamed briefly. "we'll make a day of it. maybe a double date." 

Cas paused to gauge her reaction and to listen to any proffered words before sidling past the two and picking out a path down the mountainside, sending up a "good luck!" to the pair with a cheeriness he did not feel; he loped for the Creek now, tears stinging his throat. fuck everything. he'd lost her completely now.
