Front of the Dorms, Wednesday Afternoon

You could almost get nostalgic about a thing like this.

Kerrigan stepped down from the ladder so she could admire her handiwork. "I'll be here to pick you guys up in a couple of hours," she told them. She wasn't smiling this time-- that was a change from the last. "Or when you resolve your differences. I'm listening in, so don't try anything stupid."

She'd picked a nice spot for them, though. Not in any way harder to spot, but at least this way they were relatively safe from any rain that might fall or fog that might mysteriously become rabid. Fandom flora could be useful like that.

"I hope you both had lunch."

[ first for the two on the wall, and next for anyone who might stumble on by. have at! ]

"Nice," he muttered, shaking his head and closing his eyes. "Good to see you have other talents."

"Have many talents," River said, pausing. "Just never get around to showing you." Then the singing continued.

"Yeah, I don't care," he muttered. "We're done. The end. Have fun in the future. I don't even give a damn anymore."

River stopped singing. "Won't be here for much longer anyway," she snapped.

"Oh, too bad," he said sarcastically. "Whatever. I will be. It'll be nice not to get randomly glared at."

"Wouldn't be too sure. You have a talent for attracting that kind of attention." River snorted. "Unless you manage to make your arms distract them."

[identity profile] stupid-toasters.livejournal.com 2008-08-13 12:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"You know what, I don't ask for that kind of attention," he said. "I don't flaunt around. The only reason you glare at me is because we liked the same person. That's IT. And she told me about you and her and I didn't try one damn time to sabotage it. Not once. I didn't care. So, before you go thinking so badly of me, you think about that. I was fine with how it was. You weren't."

"You never had to sense what she felt about me," River replied angrily. "Never. Could avoid thinking about that. No comparisons made every time you met." She spat out the words. "Could pretend to be the nice guy."

"That's not my frakking fault!" he yelled at her. "So stop blaming me and get over yourself. It's old, it's tired and I'm through being the whipping boy because you're so pissed. Grow up."

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2008-08-13 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"The why do you twist the knife every time?" Her voice had grown shrill and loud. "Say you want things to be different, but you do nothing. Claim to be an adult but claim no responsibility."

[identity profile] stupid-toasters.livejournal.com 2008-08-13 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't!" Lee shouted. "I can't help what I frakking think and you don't want to stay out of my head. I'm not ending things with her so you can forget that. I love her, that's all there is to it. I am not claiming responsibility for that happening. Forget it, get over it, or do whatever. You think you can blame me entirely and I'm done. I am tired of you and Lieutenant Kerrigan calling me stupid. I'm tired of people berating me for choices I make. Frak off, all of you!"

"Don't always get what we want," River snapped back. "Not the most clever person I've met." Not the stupidest either, but that was not the point.

[identity profile] stupid-toasters.livejournal.com 2008-08-13 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, thanks for telling me something I already know. Take your own advice," he snapped, "and remember you don't always get what you want."

Her eyes narrowed. "Already know that. Know that well." She fell silent.

[identity profile] stupid-toasters.livejournal.com 2008-08-13 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, good for you," he mocked. "Frak off, then. Just leave me alone."

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2008-08-13 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)
She sighed. "When you leave me alone."

[identity profile] stupid-toasters.livejournal.com 2008-08-13 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh don't worry, that last time was the last time," he promised. "Have a nice life."

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2008-08-13 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"How generous," she said mockingly. "Enjoy yours. Safe viper flying."

[identity profile] stupid-toasters.livejournal.com 2008-08-13 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Uh huh." He didn't even think he'd go back home these days. "Whoo. Thanks. Can we just be quiet so this ends quicker?"

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2008-08-13 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Or maybe Adah will let you accompany her if you behave," she added cooly. "Limited options for flying though." There was a pause. "There is never silence for me. Just words spoken or not spoken."

[identity profile] stupid-toasters.livejournal.com 2008-08-13 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"Don't talk about things you don't know," he said. "That first thing, you don't know, whether you can read my mind or not. So, please. Just...don't. Please."

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2008-08-13 01:08 pm (UTC)(link)
She could have stabbed back there, but something made River stop. She fell silent and stared out into the fog.

[identity profile] stupid-toasters.livejournal.com 2008-08-13 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"Thank you," he said and meant it. "I don't know what I'm going to do. I'd like to know before anyone else."

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2008-08-13 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
River said nothing for a long time. "You see futures here, occasionally. Doesn't matter. In the end, too many forked paths for the mind to handle. Predictions are pointless." Mostly, she was talking to herself.

[identity profile] stupid-toasters.livejournal.com 2008-08-13 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah." He shrugged, not entirely understanding. "Plans don't pan out either. I hate this frakking wall."
