[This is a view from the bottom of a very tall hill - a small mountain, if you will - that is also very steep and has a small cart at the top. Standing next to the cart is Adam Parrish. He looks doubtful.]

This is for posterity, Parrish. In case we die.

[Running a hand over his face, Adam’s faint voice can be heard in all it’s horrifically accented glory.]

I should never have let you watch those Jackass reruns. It’s not the nineties anymore.

[Ronan makes a noise.]

Don’t pussy out on me now-

[Ronan sets the camera down and gets in the shot; the angle such as it can catch the entire length of the hill. He heads up, and there is a moment of bickering at the top that the camera doesn’t catch because that’s how far up they are. The bickering is good natured for all that - they’re not really fighting. They’re just arguing for the joy of arguing. Chainsaw is sitting at the front of the cart and she occasionally contributes her opinions in the form of cawing.

And then Adam scowls, gets in the cart, and Ronan gets in behind him. Apparently, Lynches celebrate birthdays with spectacular feats of stupidly racing down things, because Ronan pushes them. They’re both screaming after a moment, and Chainsaw opens her wings and flies away before they crash at the bottom.

Now they’re right in distance for the camera to catch them, a pile of boys at the bottom of the hill, with Ronan making a noise that’s laughing and Adam-

Adam Parrish, resident misanthropist, who has never been seen really smiling on the network (or anywhere the public can see) is smiling too, and pushing at Ronan.]

That was really fuckin’ stupid. [He’s still grinning though, far too fond as he untangles himself and moves to check out the pretty wicked scrape now on his arm. It’s then that he catches sight of their recording, moving to pick it up and hand it back to its owner when he gets a look at it properly.] Did you press something different?.

What? [He looks up. Ronan Lynch, who has never posted to the Network, didn’t realize that the red button for record and the green button for stream were different things. This is what you get when you hate phones. He gets up, and rolls his eyes, and switches it off.]

[Dorian gets Chainsaw - she pecks at the screen.]

Don't do that you'll catch something.

[Ronan is already reaching for it.]

Oh hello, [ he says....right to Chainsaw. He then makes a kissy noise because hey bird, look at him again, that'll piss Ronan off. ]

Does it have a name?

That's a stupid fucking question, Gray.

How am I to know if the bird's yours or not? It doesn't have a collar or anything.

No one with half a fucking brain puts a collar on a bird.

People will put a collar on anything if it stays still long enough. People put collars on bears.

Yeah, because some people don't have half a fucking brain.

Either that or too money and not enough sense. I know a story of a man who tried to bring a bear to uni as a dorm pet.

[Silence.]

What do you want.

I'm just talking. This is idle conversation, I don't want anything.

[Ronan makes a noise, like he's not impressed with this as a reply.]

[ And Dorian just raises an eyebrow, giving Ronan a look that's pure "really." ]

Read as many "motives" into this as you want, I commented just to tell you that you were being childish.
