But I still wake up, I still see your ghost;

Characters: Carolina and York
Date: Backdated to Tues or Weds
Location: York's suite, metal sector
Situation: Potentially awkward dinner with York and Carolina. Probably some small talk and serious discussions of Bad Things.
Warnings/Rating: Freelancer Things, awkward, etc. Maybe language.


[Things like having dinner shouldn't cause Carolina's stomach to twist and turn uncomfortably in her gut, but if they're short talk after her arrival had told her anything, it was that things were unbearably different between them. Conversation wasn't easy, wasn't natural, wasn't anything like it used to be. Even under the intense pressure of the Project, they'd still managed to talk as people when the job was done.

As she approaches his door, she reminds herself that it can happen again. They can re-build; they have to be able to re-build and she refuses to believe otherwise. So, she's out of her armor, her braided back and dressed in something she'd found here on the turtle, an open-collared cross garment with plain trousers and boots. Not her usual style, but she hoped it'd give the aire of her being at least mildly comfortable instead of her armor.

After a moment of hesitation, she raps as gently as she can against the door before stepping back and reminding herself to breathe.

[ There's patches they can find, at least. York makes sure he's got what he needs and tugs on boots, trailing on out after her. ]
agentdork: (☆ k)

[ They make it all the way up and he feels tension slipping out of his shoulders, glancing out over it with a slow hum of appreciation. ]

Yeah. Yeah, god, it's really nice up here.

[ SITTING IS FOR SQUARES.

York flops himself back with a grin and a hum and stretches out, yawning. ]


I wouldn't blame you, seriously.
agentdork: (☆ I look awesome in black thx)

[ He touches their shoulders together with a little grin, staring up at the sky, utterly content. They really ought to spend more time here, honestly. ]

The sky isn't much like how I remember.

[ He reaches a hand up and traces one over their heads. ]

Looks kinda like a horse.

[ It's so relaxing up here that he doesn't know what to do with himself, so he just breathes in and holds it, stretching out more comfortably, smiling. ]

Yeah. Wonder if they have any kinda constellation maps around here.

[ He eyes the rider a moment, and then his hand stops, freezing when she touches his.

You could have had this.

The thought sticks, reminds him he could have done better, could have helped her, could have saved her from the mess they both got into, but he didn't. ]


I-- yeah. Yeah, there's a rider.

George.

[ He rolls over onto his side and leans over her, grinning like a lunatic, determined to get her back to smiling and back to normal after that hiccup. ]

Or....I dunno, Stuart.

Fredrico.

[ He grins wider, glancing up and squinting with his good eye. ]

His faithful steed can be like-- shit, I don't know, Tulip.

[ He flops back down, and closes his eyes for a while, just enjoying the night air and everything else, utterly content. ]

How're you settlin' in?

[personal profile] agentdork 2012-11-28 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
That's good. There's a lotta people here you'd like, I think.

[ ... Kara, for one, but he'll wait on that for now. ]

Maybe you could come over and have dinner again. Freelancers gotta stick together, yeah?

[personal profile] agentdork 2012-11-28 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ He shrugs, lips curled in a faint twist of amusement. ]

I got your back, boss.
agentdork: (☠ herp)

[ He lets it fall to a content silence, just laying back, eyes closed, daring to doze off for the time being. ]
