Always full of surprises, this bunch.

[reficio]

So I'm seeing. [ she smirks, leaning back on the hind legs of her chair. casual, but effective. ] Looks like one Queen wasn't enough.

[precinct]

Nothing ever is.

[ That's not fatalistic at all, Jim. ]

[reficio]

You've got one hell of an opening line there, pal.

[ no "there will be light"? damn, gordon. ]

[precinct]

[ He seems to hear it as soon as he says it, a hand briefly covering his eyes. ]

Sorry— sorry. It's been a rough year.

[reficio]

[ she could retort — it'd be easy. ( did you kill a loved one? did your own father manipulate you into the actual task itself? christ, that's not even the tip of the fricking iceberg. ) instead, she rearranges herself in the chair, pressing her front to its back. leaning into her arms, she shakes her head lightly, expression passive, and yet, somehow comforting. ]

Tell me about it. [ with a shrug: ] Looks like there's a lot of that going around.

[fistmele]

[ A whistle. Short, low. ]

That's one way to show 'em.

[reficio]

Let me guess: you have a better idea?

[ thea tilts her head, only slightly less than impressed. ]

[fistmele]

Hey, hey.

[ His hands lift, palm-flat, open. ]

First step is calling 'em out on it, s'all.

[reficio]

That what you do?

[ when she smirks, it affects both corners of her mouth. she leans forward on her elbows, both sets of knuckles resting under her chin. thea wrinkles her nose. ] You call 'em out?
