on a certain lone canon warrior at betenoire_rp

[myblogwonabafta]

I know what he'd say. And I know you feel on shaky ground with me in general but... Look. We both know you've been thinking about it for awhile. And we both know that whatever he says he needs or wants, I'm good for him. We're better together than apart. Right, so that's not the highest bar ever set. But it's a start.

And... that got a lot more maudlin than I was expecting. Which I suppose proves my point. If you haven't got time for us, or if you don't want to, those are valid reasons. If you're just afraid? Listening to that never got us anywhere.

So sorry. She's just being... her.

[womanwhobeatyou]

How very sentimental, Dr. Watson.

[myblogwonabafta]

Yes. I believe I admitted as much, just now.

[womanwhobeatyou]

It seemed to bear repeating. [Smirking.] What happened to your presence being 'trouble'?

[myblogwonabafta]

You saw that, did you? Well this is my response.

[womanwhobeatyou]

It was rather public.

[myblogwonabafta]

Contrary to anything you might believe, I don't actually take orders from him.

[womanwhobeatyou]

And contrary to what you might believe, I'm quite experienced at seeing when people are following orders.

And when they are protesting for their ego's sake.

[myblogwonabafta]

Hang on. Are you accusing me of not actually wanting to join him there, or him of using reverse psychology to get me there?

[womanwhobeatyou]

[Just this look, John. And waiting for you to figure it out for yourself.]

[myblogwonabafta]

It's not that I don't know he can manipulate. But it's not as simple as you think. I'd swear it.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Sometimes the simple tricks work the best, Dr. Watson. Especially when the mark isn't expecting it.

[A cold, sharp smile at that.]

[myblogwonabafta]

Do you think that alters my opinion?

[womanwhobeatyou]

I think it makes you more defensive.

[myblogwonabafta]

I'm not defensive.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Not jealous either.

[myblogwonabafta]

Actually, considering how things worked out?

No.

[womanwhobeatyou]

And how did things work out, according to you?

[myblogwonabafta]

According to me, there's nothing to be jealous about.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Dodging the question. So there is something to hide.

[myblogwonabafta]

I'm not dodging the question. There is no question. I'm here and you're... wherever.

[womanwhobeatyou]

I believe the words you were looking for are "not dead".

[myblogwonabafta]

Okay, lovely. I mean, good for you. But there's not an actual competition. I mean, there can't be.

[womanwhobeatyou]

I wasn't aware you thought there was a competition, Dr. Watson.

[myblogwonabafta]

You're the one who accused me of being jealous. I'm merely explaining why I'm not.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Because you have nothing to be jealous or defensive about?

[myblogwonabafta]

Well.

Yes.

[womanwhobeatyou]

You're picking up your flatmate's bad habits, Dr. Watson.

[myblogwonabafta]

I should hope not.

[scotlandyardsfinest]

[ Concernface, get. ]

He needs some support, sure. But I hate to be the one to remind you, though, your player did just drop a game for lack of time.

[ No judgments here, but. ]

A bit of a risk, isn't it?

[myblogwonabafta]

It is. And quite probably, a very bad idea.

[scotlandyardsfinest]

And that's not going to stop you.

[myblogwonabafta]

Me? Probably not. Whether it stops her I think will be the deciding factor. She seems to think that an extra responsibility in an environment with which she's already familiar will be different.

I'm not sure.
