10 - SPAM for Tim Drake - Autumn days

[ichoosefight]

[ It's cold out, but not freezing. Stephanie has left the safety of the library, the CES, even stopped stalking the Master long enough to stand on deck, leaning against the rail and breathing in the autumn air. Because that's what it is; autumn air. She's missed it. She hates to admit it, but she misses home. She misses going to school and fighting crime with Oracle and Proxy on the other end of a comm link, and sometimes she even misses the weather. What she really wants is a cup of hot cider, but for now the rustling of leaves and cold air on her skin are plenty. She really needs to get up on deck more often. She's happier than she's been in a long while. Not as happy as she was in the carnival, but close, and it seems like nothing could possibly dampen her mood. ]

I probably just haven't been getting out enough. [ You know, what with the avoiding people she tends to fight with. ]

Haven't heard from Sylar in a few days. I take it that means things are going well?

[peektuttut]

[...Oh yeah, there's a reason they do the avoiding thing.]

He doesn't read my private messages anymore. [But he's not about to offer up that Sylar has all kinds of other access, now.]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

[ She raises an eyebrow. ] He didn't seem too upset the last time I talked to him.

[peektuttut]

Why would he be upset?

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

The whole trust thing?

[peektuttut]

[Trying not to roll his eyes.] I trust him.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Does he know that? Or, better yet, does he believe it?

[peektuttut]

He knows. [A beat.] Why does it concern you?

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

[ She rolls her eyes. ] Because he's my friend. I know, big shocker, both of us are capable of making friends.

[peektuttut]

[HNNNNG HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW HE FEELS ABOUT THIS.] Huge. [He's being sarcastic because he doesn't know what else to say, really.]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

We can't all be as antisocial secretly really sweet as you are.

...Oh, right. Flood. Well, you know what I mean.

[peektuttut]

[No. No no no wait. He is staring at her.] ...I do?

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

[ Okay, so maybe she should start being concerned. ] ...Don't you? I thought you were the genius here.

[peektuttut]

[Yeah he's just gonna cross his arms.] So secretly really sweet stands for...?

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Antisocial Unreasonably attractive, of co-- [ Epic facepalm. ]

Okay, I walked right into that one. But we were talking about Sylar.

[peektuttut]

[SNICKERING. He's at least turning away to snicker.]

Yeah, we were, though I don't know why. He's fine.

I totally know where I am. Why do you ask?

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

You are such a-- ugh. Stupid flood.

[ She crosses her arms, totally pouting. ]

Good. Maybe this time I'll invite him to dinner for a change.

LOL <3

[peektuttut]

[ASDFLSDKHKLH ALL THESE RELATIONS ARE WEIRDING HIM OUT and he really has no right to be weirded out.]

Are you - you realize that he talks to people I know in order to get to me, right?

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

[ She rolls her eyes. Again. ]

And it doesn't occur to you that maybe he just, oh I dunno, likes me? He does have a nice side, you know.

[peektuttut]

Yeah, he does. And I don't think he knows how to be a friend full time, yet.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Good thing I have experience with people who don't know how to have friends.

[peektuttut]

Just be careful around him, all right? [He...isn't sure who he's being protective of, this time.]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

[ She gives him a look. ]

No. Not any more 'careful' than I am around my other friends.

[peektuttut]

How many of your other friends have been through what he's been through?

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

I don't know what he's been through. Any more than he knows what I've been through.
