Room 504, Tuesday Morning

After first period Ino was back in her room, sprawled on her bed, and carefully making notes on how best to poison Logan-sensei for class on Thursday.

What? He’d pretty much told her to. Ino was only listening to his instructions.

And, well, playing with poisons was an excellent thing to focus her fury on.

...in her opinion anyway.

[Expecting one, but open. ETA: ...I know what day it is. Really. ^^;;]

And he settled down where he was to wait until she gave him more to work with.

"I'm not leaving until things are resolved.

"I tried the 'let's calm down and see how things are in a few days' and I lost Andrew.

"I'm not doing that again."

He crossed his arms stubbornly.

"But is anything actually resolved? No, I don't think so."

He sighed.

"Exactly. Which is why I'm still here."

He wasn't leaving until she did.

"It's not going to magically get better. Period, end of sentence.

"But so far you don't want to tell me what might help make it better so I'm staying until you decide on that."

"No, you didn't."

He looked just as petulant.

"You told me Amber was blond and blue eyed. And you called me a liar. The rest I've had to figure out. So I'll stay here until things really get handled."

"That Amber is blond and I'm a liar? Which I'm not."

[identity profile] new-to-liirness.livejournal.com 2008-06-25 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
"You still haven't even said what I've lied about."

Oh, he was pretty sure he got it. But he was going to make her be specific.

"What I don't understand" he said slowly, "is your complete and utter lack of faith, or even trust, in me."

She'd been through explosions and gun battles and she hadn't even thought to talk to him. He'd come seeking her on Wednesday. She'd put Cable and the baby and the Arms in front of him for a time because that was what made sense.

But he'd never questioned her affection for him. Not even a little.

Perhaps because Liir could say the same and he trusted her?

"Why?"

[identity profile] new-to-liirness.livejournal.com 2008-06-25 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Coward."

He'd take whatever punishment that earned him

"And nothing is true all the time."
