Look who's loud again.

[yknow]

Well, it's nice to at least get some air again. Not that much will come of it but still, nice to be noticed.

Sure is a lot of elipses you have there.

[jemwalker]

[Yeah, that's just...silence. A lot of it. Watch her mouth drop open in super slow motion, if you like.]

[yknow]

_{[Shoe-scuffing and a little bit of a pout over here. He can totally tell she still doesn't like him. Still, best to make nice, right?]}

So. Uh... Hi Jem.

[jemwalker]

...Hi.

[Slightly uncomfortable shuffling. Hoping the 'sorry I shot you!' bit is implied...but it's probably not.]

Um. Hi.

[yknow]

_{[Have a hand held out hopefully for a shake. He knows she didn't mean it.]}

Hope you're getting along at least.

[jemwalker]

[Shuffles her feet a little bit. And clears her throat. And then gives that hand a hearty shake.]

Yeah...well...

[Shuffle. Shuffleshuffle. And then, pulling herself up by her bootstraps, scared little girl look in her eye...]

...Sorry I shot you.

[There, at least she said it.]

[yknow]

_{[And there goes his smile. But it's a step in the right direction, right?]}

Don't worry about it Jem. Really.

[jemwalker]

N-not worry about it? H-how do I...?

[Wobbling lip and unshed tears. This is basically...yeah. Her worst nightmare and most frequent daydream all rolled into one. She'd hug you, but she doesn't know how to right now. So instead, she...stands there.

m'sorry.

But...how are you...?

[yknow]

_{[If it were anyone else he might get frustrated at the apologies. Instead he just reaches out, slowly, and touches her shoulder. Comforting. Kind of.]}

It's been...well. Long, and weird. But no less weird than everything else, I guess.

Er... so really. I'm ok. We're ok.

Sorry for uh. Y'know. Stuff at school.

[jemwalker]

O...okay.

[Have a soft, hesitant, vulnerable little smile? Almost as if she can't figure out how she's getting off that easily...and that she's not certain she should.]

Yeah, it's...it's okay. [shuffles a little bit more.] Learnin' as much as I can on me own. Know a bloke who's been teachin' me physics. S'nice.

How...how about you? How're you doing? Yer mum must be over the moon t'have you back.

[yknow]

_{[Well, she'll just have to get used to it, since he still thinks the world of her.]}

Oh yeah, mum's kind of going overboard keepin' me safe this time 'round. It's nice, but well...I'd like to actually go back to school, y'know? Homeschoolin's so boring.

_{[[I feel like we should dump these two in a meme and see what happens. Anything on bakerstreet catching your eye?]]}

[jemwalker]

Yeah, they...kinda kicked me out.

[loooong pause]

But good riddance, yeah?

[[Sounds like fun! How about that summer one? http://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/2351597.html?thread=1217059309#cmt1217059309 And I haven't done formal rp on dreamwidth/livejournal so much, so please bear with me. :) ]]

[yknow]

_{[[It's all good, practice in doing stuff! I generally use Para-style rp for memes if that's alright with you.]]}

Yeah, only good thing about school's havin' friends there but, well. Haven't seen Rob since they took him back to Norfolk. To hell with the whole thing.

[jemwalker]

[[Tagged! And not a problem. Please forgive me for being so slow, though!]]

Yeah, that's...awkward.

[She winces. And then does an awkward little shuffle dance.]

[yknow]

_{[[I have returned from the abyss of shitty circumstances and job searching to see if you're still interested in playing!]]}

Yeah... But new beginnings, eh? Could be worse.

_{[A lot worse. But still he kind of wants to put his hands on her shoulders to stop her shuffling. It looks like she has to go pee, as much as she's squirming.]}
