— with each passing day, mick felt more withdrawn. he felt helpless against the void that threatened to consume him; a feeling of emptiness that worked its way through his veins like poison. a poison he was painfully used to, and long ago thought he had found the antidote for. but it seemed he could have everything in the world, and it wouldn't be enough to pull him out of this dark place he found himself in. it was no use. perhaps mickey was a lost cause after all, meant to cave under all the pressure the world put on top of him. to wait and see what else could go wrong, in a mindset where everything seemed to be going wrong.
it was difficult to explain such a strong feeling of emptiness when, on the outside, he looked just fine. it was especially harder to explain it when he had no reason in his daily life to feel such a way. sometimes he’d resort to being a bit of a recluse, holing himself away in the house. today was a bit of a different change of pace, seeing him out and about around the district. hands in his pockets, he slowed to a stop at the sight of the kids painting the wall.
he stood a ways away, observing the mural-in-the-making and the kids hard at work. the stirling kids seemed to be enjoying themselves, along with the other flintlock kids... all of them painting the wall without a care, laughing happily with each other was a reassuring sight to see. then again, did he ever doubt green’s ability to make them all feel welcome in the district? not even for a second. his gaze lingered on arlo’s partially-blue face, squinting his eyes just slightly before he asked, “and what happened to you?”
arlo smiled to himself, shaking his head as he painted, mumbling, ”green…”
of course. he looked towards the man in question, watching finn happily paint - perhaps getting more paint on green’s head than the wall itself. crossing his arms over his chest, he sighed gently before he pointed out, “if you wanted to get back at him, now would be a good time.” arlo giggled quietly to himself, looking at green as if he was contemplating it. mick quirked a brow green’s way before looking down towards licity and paige. looking back towards the wall, he searched for an empty spot at felicity’s level. it looked like paige was going to have to risk getting covered in paint, too. "looks like you might have to."
