word game: worry

[museaway]

This week's word is...
WORRY

How to play: Find the word in any WIP and comment with the sentence containing it. Just the one, ideally! The less context, the more hilarious & interesting it can be.

Rules:
- All fandoms, all ships, all writers welcome
- Give a head's up for disturbing/distressing content
- If you share a sentence, please read some left by other writers and drop at least one person a comment. (If you leave the first comment, thanks for starting us off, and we hope you'll pop back around later!)

“And they’d say the same?” He can’t stop each new worry from tumbling from his mouth. “They consider you a friend? You didn’t force that onto ‘em? Try to hurt ‘em? Nothin’ like that?”

There’s silence for a moment. Martlet looks over towards Dalv, clearly expecting a confident rebuttal. But he doesn’t deliver.

Excerpt from the in-progress chapter of my longfic!

Oh nooo c': "(...) clearly expecting a confident rebuttal. But he doesn't deliver." Ouch, I physically feel the slow, slow, painful realisation settling in, like dread. It's written so well 💕

Oof, that silence must sting.

ooooh boi the silence. those are kinda serious accusations, so either he is fully confident he's innocent and don't need to explain himself, or the silence is the answer that's more disturing to hear. either way, great tension!
