RP > nostalgia strikes again

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ It is a relatively quiet day in the apartment of one Saga Laskaris- unless you were to wander into the kitchen. Then you would find all manner of things happening, dishes heaped up everywhere, and some very tantalizing smells coming from the sizzling skillets on the stove top. In the middle of it is Alabaster, in a simple t-shirt and jeans (and no shoes. Just socks), bustling back and forth, metallic arms zipping everywhere. ]

Saga- [ he's standing as well ] -wait. Please.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

... [ hesitating, but there's a sort of desperation in her expression when she looks at him. ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, Saga. I know. Orion told me.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ just-- freezing up. ] He what.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

... He told me. He doesn't want you to go through this alone.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

So he drags you into this because he's feeling sorry for me now? I'm perfectly capable of going through this alone! I'm not--

[ sorry Alabaster, she's whirling around and heading straight for the door ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Saga- [ he takes a step or two after her, but then he hesitates, just a moment. He's completely out of his depth here ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ she'll apologize later, but right now out she goes ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ he's just gonna whirl around and take out his frustration on the nearest wall. ): ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ hey. HEY. Leave the wall alone, she'll come back in a few hours. :( ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ HEY it was either the wall or the tableware. And he didn't do any damage. Any noticeable damage ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ still :( she'll eventually creak the door open, since it's way late now, so she's going to try and be quiet. ]

[ he's very much awake, and sitting on the couch. He glances at her as she comes in ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

... [ well, the knees of her jeans are soaked and she's a little pale, but she's kind of timidly approaching the couch. ]

There's a rune, but I lost track of it. I'll probably be spending most of tomorrow looking for it.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ he considers this a moment before scooting over and offering her a place to sit ]

Talk to me, Saga.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ hesitating for a long moment, but she's too tired to argue, so she'll slowly walk over and take the offered spot. ]

What do you want me to talk about, exactly?

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

I think you know.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

He already told you... that's enough, isn't it?

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

He told me what was going to happen, yes. However, he couldn't tell me how you felt about it.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

There isn't really anything... it has to be done, so feeling bad about it won't help matters any. I'll just start to hesitate, and I can't do that. A lot of people could have their lives disrupted if I even start doubting this.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

You're very brave, you know. Braver than I am.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

...

That doesn't mean I'm not scared.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ he is just... going to pull her into a hug ] You have every right to be.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ she won't let herself cry, but she'll slowly wrap her arms around him and just-- hold on. ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ he'll sit there for as long as it takes- this isn't somewhere he thought he'd ever find himself, but he's slowly beginning to realize that this is exactly where he's supposed to be ]
