I nodded faintly, "That's good.." I said after a moment, wishing that she could have given me more than just one word cos I'm not positive what else I should be saying right now.
"So um.. how're things with Logan?" I asked, sicne it was the only thing I seemed to think of at the moment.

"Ah -" I can't say anything for a moment, too surprised that it turns out I didn't have to untactfully volunteer anything, because now he's gone and asked me. "Ah... they're all right. He's... trying." I shrug slightly.

I nodded a little bit, wondering why I had to ask her that and why that was the only thing that I could think of. "That's good then.. he's being.. normal and everything?" I asked biting my lip for a short moment.

I smile slightly, nodding. "Normal as he gets, yeah." But do you honestly want to hear this?

I nodded a little bit again, "Good.." I said again with a faint smile, looking down to the floor for a small moment. "Much better than the.. opposite.." I added a bit slower.

"True," I agree, shrugging. I suppose he wouldn't much like to hear that I'm miserable with Logan or that he's being psychotic again.

I nodded again even though I pretty much felt like a bobble head at the moment from all the nodding I've just done. "So um.. have you been up to anything?" I asked with lack of anything better to ask, though slightly wondering if I already asked that a moment after I heard myself.

"Not a whole lot." I shrug again. "Finally got job, I guess."

"That's something then.." I said with a faint smile. "Where at?" I asked, half out of curiosity, half out of wanting the conversation to keep going.

"Back room of the post office." I smile slightly. "It's about what I expected."

I smiled with a faint chuckle, "So you like it then?" I asked, glancing over to her.

"Pretty well. It's good to have something to do." I shrug slightly again. "So how about you? Will they let you go back to work yet?"

Post by Riley Pearson on Apr 16, 2009 3:53:11 GMT
"That's good." I smiled a bit, "I guess something to do is usually good." Actually, it was good the majority of the time.. especially now that I know what it's like not to be doing anything at all.
"Um.. they're letting me go back pretty soon.. I think, at least." I answered her witha small shrug.

"Mm, generally," I agree, nodding. "And that's good, too. Have you been sticking by the rules they gave you?"
I absently take a sip of tea, grimacing slightly though it's actually not bad.

I nodded slightly and then shrugged, "Mostly." I said with a faint sigh and another shrug. Even though I knew I should have said that yes, I had been... completely.
"It's not that bad, is it?" I asked with a faint chuckle at her grimace.

"No, not terribly. Just the principle of it I suppose." I smile faintly, then backtrack to what he said first and try to look severe. "Riley, have you been breaking the rules that your most lovely colleagues told you to follow?"

"What's the principle of tea, exactly?" I asked with a small laugh and smile to her.
I bit my lip some at the look she gave me. "Just barely." I said in reply, taking a small second to glance up at her.

Post by Arden Patricks on Apr 16, 2009 4:15:06 GMT
"Just the fact that's tea." I smile slightly again, taking another sip, and then shake my head. "Barely is still... well, how barely?"

I smiled and shook my head faintly, "Tea is awesome though.." I commented, smiling into my mug for a moment before taking another drink.
I shrugged faintly, "Haven't been using the wheel chair much.. and I've sort of drank a couple things..." I said sort of quietly.

"Riley...." I shake my head, but can't quite accuse him of not following through with promises. "If you end up back in there you'll have no one to thank but yourself." And if you insist on having a drink after being hit by a bus and being expressly forbidden not to, maybe you have a problem.

I looked away from her for a moment and nodded slightly, "Yeah.. I know.. but I hate using the wheel chair, it's not like I can't walk.. and I think that you'd want a couple shots too if your cousin kissed you." I said shaking my head slightly, cringing a bit as I thought about it and then taking another sip from my mug. "I didn't get.. drunk or anything.." But it did mix with my medication and that was sort of unpleasant.

"Well, Lilith can be quite affectionate like that, and she's not that unattractive...." I say dryly, raising my eyebrows. "But I suppose I don't know about your cousins. Though I do have to say that it sounds more like a situation where you'd want to keep your wits."

"Arden, Shelby kissed me." I said looking over to her, as if saying it again and in that specific way was going to make a difference in how she saw the situation. "And I did.. Actually, I was the one keeping the bottle away from her. If you think I'm bad, you should watch her drink. Then you'll know I don't have a problem."

"Well, technically just because someone else has a worse problem doesn't mean that you don't have one," I point out, then pause a moment to think about that. "Though... I can certainly see why you were disturbed."

I paused for a moment, averting my eyes to floor for another second before shrugging slightly, "Okay, so I have a small problem." I said, hoping that it wasn't any bigger than just a small one, but who knows, maybe it was. But I honestly couldn't tell you myself.
"And thanks," I nodded a little bit. "I'm glad you can see why.." I paused again and inwardly shuddered wondering a bit if it came off in my expression. "I mean, I had my cousin's tongue in my mouth.." I cringed slightly again before adding, "grosse."

I grimace slightly, nodding. "Don't think I needed to know that, but yes... I agree that it certainly was."

".. Sorry.. just thought you should know why I'm so disgusted and why I felt like I needed to drink something.." I said, biting my lip for a second. "But yeah.. I guess you didn't need to know that."

Post by Arden Patricks on Apr 17, 2009 2:15:09 GMT
"Mm... well, I might excuse you now," I say, tilting my head. "But I do have to ask why in the hell Shelby would kiss you. I know that the woman has issues, but that's something new."

"I'd appreciate it... promise I haven't drank anything other than then.." I said as I looked over to her. I heard her question and shrugged a little bit. "I dunno.. she was just.. relating to me or something." Really, it was because I had been telling her about Arden and she felt like she'd been through a lot of the same things.. or something to that effect at least. "... I don't think she's feeling very well, actually." I added thinking about how she said she was going to check herself into Mungos... not for being sick, but for thinking she was going crazy.. again.

"'Not feeling very well'?" I repeat. "What, mentally?"
