[A yawn is the first thing that sounds as a sleepy Oz appears on the screen a moment later, sporting bedhead and looking a bit disheveled. Guess who woke up from his sleep coma?]

...Morning.

Uh... [He blinks a few more times, trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes as he yawns again] I guess I was more tired than I thought I was.

Did I miss anything?

That's not true.

[His own tone shifted; became darker. Almost annoyed in nature]

Yeah? The way you say it, I'd have to guess it would be Gil?

[nightraysewerat]

[He looks away, as if not even dignifying that with an answer.]

...I knew it.

I know I wouldn't mind Gil here either so I know how it is.

[nightraysewerat]

Wouldn't mind. Wouldn't mind????

[The anger in his voice is sudden and all-encompassing.]

That's the difference between you and me.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

It's not that I don't want Gil here. Don't assume anything.

[A touch of slight bitterness lines those words]

I just... having him here in this kind of dream world. Is that really what you want?

[nightraysewerat]

...

[It wouldn't matter, would it? It doesn't matter that they're here.

But it's the same fight as always, the same argument with himself between wanting Gilbert with him and wanting Gilbert to be safe and happy.]

It's no matter dangerous than our world.

[He sounds like a petulant child.]
