Prompt "discovery" for the drabble challenge at [livejournal.com profile] lostsquee.

Dialogue is waaaaaaay more difficult to do in 100 words than a scene. Waaaaaay more. I know I could've posted the whole scene I'd written first before cutting out the extra words and rephrasing things, but sometimes I feel like making it shorter is better because if the words are expendable, they couldn't have been that good. *shrug*

Boone
Boone/Sawyer if you're looking for it
100 words

"You didn't have them," Boone accused.

"No I didn't." Sawyer's tone suggested that he wanted Boone to leave.

Boone didn't know what had happened, but there was blood on Sayid's shirt and now Sawyer's bandaged arm. Something went too far because of him, because of Shannon.

Things always went too far when it came to Shannon.

"Why'd you say you did?"

Sawyer studied him for a moment. "To get a read on people around here. Find out what their capable of, what they're really like."

"So what are you really like?"

His eyes narrowed. "Get the hell outta my tent."

You are a crazy woman, doing drabble conversations... but the results of your insanity are splendid. :D

Sawyer, Boone and Shannon are all captured succiently in this snippet. It's a gesture-drawing, a character sketch wrought in bold strokes of charcoal. And god but I love how you write Boone...

Hee, thank you so much!

And god but I love how you write Boone...

I really need to go play in my "In Admiration" land. I miss them.

This was great! Especially the last line -- the perfect answer!

Thank you!

I wanted Sawyer/Boone, but for some reason, I haven't been feeling slashing Boone since his canon coming out. That makes me sad.
