I shake my head again after a moment, shrugging slightly. "... Anyway... it was all very odd. Was she like that with you or what?"

"Sounds it," I agree, then shrug, "Yeah...she was quite odd, I suppose."
And now we've reentered dangerous waters so I pause for a moment while I try and figure out an alternative route, before remembering she's mentioned Fitzy and deciding to go with that after all.
"Is Fitzy still talking to you or is he being a prick again then?"
Because I assume that he started talking to her again when I was gone...although maybe he didn't. I'm not sure.

"Little bit of both...." I laugh slightly, feeling a bit easier in my mind now about the Shelby thing, relieved that that's all it was. I don't have to know exactly what she said or did. "I'm fairly sure he's furious, but I asked him to please not be an idiot and I will give him credit for trying."

I grin briefly, relieved for the most part about the change of subject but also that they are still talking, I suppose.
"Good."

"Mm," I nod, smiling slightly. "It is kind of nice to not be barred from seeing my niece."

"I imagine so." I agree, unable to think of how to elaborate on that.

"Mm," I say again, then pause. "... Speaking of, ah, being able to see people... I'll understand if it's a yes but I'd just like to ask if it would bother you, or if it does bother you, that I'm still for the most part friendly with Riley."

I pause to sigh, but then just shrug, "Yes, it bothers me, but..." I shrug again, because there's really not much I can say.
It's not as if I could forbid her from being friendly with him...or I could, but I don't really want to.

"Does it bother you a lot?" I ask, though I'm not really sure what I mean by 'a lot' and it's not like I would agree, even if he asked me, to cut all ties. "I mean... I don't know. Never mind."

"Moderately," I say, "Rather than a lot."
Which is...sort of a lie, because it really does bother me an awful lot, but I'm not going to say that.

I nod as if this makes sense, as if 'moderately' is somehow a quantifiable measurement of emotion that I automatically understand. I really don't know why I even asked.

And I guess that killed it. We were doing quite well for a while there, conversing and all, so I suppose it's to be expected.
So I just nod slightly back and glance over at the otherside of the room again as I seem to like doing, and then recall the last time I did this and what I was thinking then and start thinking it all over again and I really hate Ruby right now and her bitchy niggling little voice telling me things I don't want to hear and then leaving them in my head to replay again and again and again whenever there's five bloody seconds of silence.

Hm... silence again. How very unexpected.
"So...." I say after a moment, shrugging slightly. "Anything on your mind?"

Post by Logan Andrews on Mar 11, 2009 17:46:49 GMT
I laugh faintly at that, contemplating total honesty for a fleeting moment before just deciding that it'd be a bad idea and maybe I should focus on why I even found the question amusing.
"Nothing significant, really. Anything on yours?"

"No, not really," I shrug. "Except I really like this, even though I may have just jinxed it by saying so. And... I'm kind of wondering what's funny, but that's about it."

Post by Logan Andrews on Mar 12, 2009 10:04:38 GMT
"I...don't know what was funny," I shrug, although I think it may have been a half-formed answer to that question that was far too ridiculous to say and I can't even remember what it was. I'm sure it was honest, so that's probably why.
"So...we're doing better then? Even if you possibly have just jinxed it."

"Well, I think so anyway." I shrug. "You're talking to me, for one, instead of being silent."

"Ah...good," I say again, for lack of anything else to say and deciding maybe she has jinxed it.

I shrug again, smiling faintly. "Granted, we seem to have run out of things to say now, but... for a while anyway."

"Well, it was an improvement, at least," I acknowledge, nodding briefly.

"Mm...." I nod again, then raise my eyebrows at him slightly. "Are you sure that there's nothing on your mind? Anything at all so we could continue this a bit?"

"There's not really anything, no," I lie, "Sorry."

"Well, it was nice while it lasted anyway." I shrug, absently taking hold of his hand.

I shrug in agreement, taking hold of her hand back.

It is kind of annoying when conversations run down like this... but for once I won't complain because it was far too lovely while it lasted.
