"This is Miles. Leave a message and I'll respond to you at my earliest convenience."

The line has gone silent; any messages sent to this name only return an error.

[He lets out a light laugh. He turns and gives Miles a small smile.]

I'm going home to sleep for a couple of days. You know where to find me.

[Jim walks out of the room, shutting the door behind him.]
keep_nothing: (to yield is bittersweet)

[personal profile] keep_nothing 2016-03-04 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ And as Jim goes to leave the house, he'll have to pass by the living room. A certain redhead is sitting on the couch in there, just sipping some tea. She'll glance at Jim as he passes by, offering a small but subdued smile. ]

[That actually surprised him.]

Cordelia?
keep_nothing: (birds and bees really can't interbreed)

[personal profile] keep_nothing 2016-03-04 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
Hello, Jim. Leaving already? [ She asks with the same expression; smiling, somber but polite. ]

[personal profile] overemotionally 2016-03-04 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
How long have you been down here?

[Jim has a bad tendency of answering questions with other questions.

He thinks back over the last couple of hours and--

Oh.

They hadn't exactly been quiet.]
keep_nothing: (soft)

[personal profile] keep_nothing 2016-03-04 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ She does smile a little wider at that, but continues to be vague. ] Not long, don't worry.

But I had thought you would be staying a little longer? [ A question, not an accusation, said over the rim of her mug as she takes another sip of tea. ]
overemotionally: (pic#10061904)

[personal profile] overemotionally 2016-03-04 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Shit. Yeah. She totally knows.]

Uh...no, wasn't really...planning on it.

[Which is 100% true, if Miles had brought up their relationship status or not.]
keep_nothing: (keep it coming)

[personal profile] keep_nothing 2016-03-04 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ She gives a slow, small nod, expression turning inward for a moment while he tries to subtly check on Miles without actually getting his attention. What she sees on the other side of their telepathic window is dark and stormy, a fire died out and ash blowing in the breeze. She doesn't frown in front of Jim, her face keeping that neutral calm as she focuses her attention back outward. ] That's your choice, of course.

[ She sips from her tea again, but her eyes don't leave his as she goes on to say, ] Have a good evening then. We'll see you later. [ A dismissal then, polite but neutral. ]

[personal profile] overemotionally 2016-03-04 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[...Well this was awkward. He nods.]

You too. See you around.

[And with that he exits to go sleep for a couple days.]
keep_nothing: (trying even for a theist)

[personal profile] keep_nothing 2016-03-04 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ After the front door closes, she waits long enough for the tea she's no longer drinking to turn cold in her mug, then waits a few long moments more before she actually stands from the couch. After yet another moment of hesitation, she heads to the kitchen for a glass and the bottle of the wine they keep stocked in the fridge. She opens the bottle in the kitchen first, being practical, then heads upstairs

She knocked gently on Miles door. ]
keep_nothing: (soft)

[personal profile] keep_nothing 2016-03-04 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ She holds the bottle up to the crack in the door so he's less inclined to turn her away. ]

May I come in?
keep_nothing: (it's like babysitting scientists really)

[personal profile] keep_nothing 2016-03-04 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ She learned from Aral, too. She steps in, handing him a glass and keeping one for herself. She sits on the corner of the bed, making sure to not sit on the sheets that look more ... rumpled than the others.

She holds the bottle out to pour his glass first, then her own. She's quiet until he takes his first drink, her voice soft and low. ]
How are you feeling, kiddo?
keep_nothing: (by the flickering candle)

[personal profile] keep_nothing 2016-03-04 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
That's not what I asked.
keep_nothing: (fucking Barrayarans)

[personal profile] keep_nothing 2016-03-04 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Of course you are. [ She blinks. ] Aren't. Wait, you used a negative, that's cheating.
keep_nothing: (you did what now)

[personal profile] keep_nothing 2016-03-04 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
My point is, you are able to be loved, Miles. You just tend to ... [ She searches for a neutral way of saying this, ] not separate the act from the feeling.
keep_nothing: (and you stand over by the pig)

[personal profile] keep_nothing 2016-03-04 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
It can be, but it doesn't always happen on the first try, love, or even the second. Mine didn't. Your father's didn't.
keep_nothing: (Aral really does have a nice ass)

[personal profile] keep_nothing 2016-03-04 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ She can only offer a shrug in answer. ]

My expectations were different than what you're looking for, when I first started out. And even when I thought I wanted more ... well. I certainly thought I was satisfied for a while. But I had compromised myself in doing so.
