. . . you know I wouldn't be OK otherwise, yeah? Roughhouse like that'd be curtains for most folks here.

[ he doesn't want to rub it in, it's pretty clear the kid's upset but . . . well, it'd be irresponsible not to make sure they're all on the same page ]

From:

rageoverroses

I know. I know! I didnt-- because if it'd been Meryl--

[It hadn't been. She had spoken to Meryl and nothing had happened. But what if it had.]

People-- normal people are fragile. I didn't forget, yeh know.

It wouldn't have mattered if it weren't my fault or not, they'd still be dead. And I can't fix it.

[She's quiet, wiping her face on her sleeve again, before looking up at him.

She wants to ask.]

From:

leaveroomforjudas

[ just gonna let her talk through it a bit ]

Mm?

From:

rageoverroses

...nothin'.

[In the end she chickens out because what if it's super rude to ask someone why they didn't die when they were killed??? Nobody she knows is here to tell her the etiquette on that!]

It's just. Not very fair that that all happened.

From:

leaveroomforjudas

Sure weren't.

[ waits one more moment, then sits down next to her ]

From:

rageoverroses

Makes me feel better that someone else thinks so.

[picks up her cold mug of tea]

Is Meryl okay? She was really upset.

[goes to take a sip, makes a face, and fishes a moth out]

Is she yer girlfriend?

[tosses the moth off the roof and sips]

She's . . . uh. Well, my master now, I guess. You got any friends here?

From:

rageoverroses

[raises an eyebrow]

One of them contract things? Hope yeh trust her, yeah? But it... I think she's got yer back. She pointed her gun at me and all.

[why does she sound cheered by that!!]

...not yet. I thought I'd get my things back faster if I worked and got money. So I focused on that instead.

From:

leaveroomforjudas

Hah, busy few days, huh?

[ and here he is costing her more money. let's all feel guilty about everything for ever. ]

I trust her more'n anyone. She's earned at least that much.

From:

rageoverroses

Yeah. But it's okay. Imagine if we hadn't had the money and we'd still needed it?

[she's bound and determined to pull a silver lining out things, isn't she!]

That's good. I can think of... maybe one or two people I'd make a contract with, but they didn't come with me.

...Have yeh thought about what yeh wanna do? If one've yeh makes it to Queen?

From:

leaveroomforjudas

I had some ideas, but . . . [ shrugs ] I'm man enough to admit she's the brains of the operation. I'd trust her with that kinda power before I'd trust m'self.

From:

rageoverroses

[she's quiet again for a moment, drinking her cold tea and thinking about that.]

How did you two meet? Have yeh known each other a long time?

From:

leaveroomforjudas

She hit me with her van.

From:

rageoverroses

[....snort]

Her van??

[trying so hard not to laugh]

S-so I'm not even the worst thing that's ever hit yeh! Pfft--

[it's no use! she's cracking up, but at least not in a mean way]

From:

leaveroomforjudas

Hah! Don't sell yerself short, kiddo.

From:

rageoverroses

[empty mug forgotten in her lap, Enya tries to stifle her laughter (or at least keep the volume down out of consideration for the other Pawns that might be trying to get some shuteye).]

Oh, quiet! I'm nothing like bein' hit by a van.

[well, if Nicholas and Meryl met like that and they're this close, then maybe Enya doesn't have to worry so much about having ruined everything.]

Did yeh have to take yer medicine then, too?
