Hello Hateful

"You should care what happens to you, he growled, causing Kanja's eyes to narrow. She was having fun with him, but his tone was getting kind of annoying. Who was he to assume he knew her thoughts? She'd never said she didn't care about what happened to her. She cared a great deal...about making sure she had fun and came out ahead in all situations, anyway. And yes, she cared about her safety too. Kind of. She wouldn't jump off a cliff if she thought she was going to die, that was for sure. ”I don't know who you think you are, old man, but you sure as shit aren't a mind reader so don't you presume to know what I do or don't care about,” she said, dropping all pretense of being nice. Seeing him again was a nice surprise, but if he didn't drop the parental disapproval she was going to have to punt him over the cliff. Not only was he not her father, but even if he was, she was an adult and perfectly capable of making her own decisions. She did as she damn well pleased.

His next words caused her to snort and rolled her eyes. ”You are the oldest fart I've ever met. If you can make it off the cliff without breaking a hip I will be surprised.” Not for one second did she believe he was actually going to jump. Why? Well, for one, he was old and grumpy. He wouldn't know fun if it slapped him across the face and introduced itself. And two, hadn't he just spent the better part of their reunion crapping all over her desire to jump?

Still skeptical she eyed Ehrgeiz as he darted around her. Any second now he'd stop and turn to look at her all satisfied that he'd made his point (whatever that was). He wasn't actually going to jump. No way.

Holy shit he was actually going to do it! Kanja's eyes flew wide as it became clear he wasn't going to stop. Irate, she screamed at him, ”The fuck are you doing!” She darted after him, jaws parting as she sought to grab him by the tail and drag him back, but it was too late. Her teeth snapped shut on empty air. Kanja was forced to skid to a halt near the edge of the cliff and watch as Ehrgeiz arced over the edge and out of sight. ”Ehrgeiz!” she yelled breathlessly.

Fuck, fuck, fuck! He was old. His bones were probably frail and shit. From experience she knew impact would be hard and in her mind's eye she could see his old, stupid body bobbing to the surface, broken in countless places. She could see him sinking and drowning, his one, stupid eye glaring up at her all angry and accusatory, his expression twisted up in one final 'I told you so!' sneer.

Before she even heard the splash that would indicate he'd hit the water, Kanja leaped off the cliff after him. She saw where he'd hit the water and only had a moment to process that before she too was under. For a moment she was lost in the swirl, but her worry demanded she get her act together, so she did. She kicked to the surface and began to search for him. There! He was paddling and seemingly okay, and in an instant Kanja's concern morphed into white hot rage. ”You asshole! I have half a mind to drown you myself!” You know what, that sounded pretty good. Furiously she began to paddle towards him. ”I wasted my jump worrying about your old, useless ass. You owe me a drowning!”
