Mariiiia, I just met a girl named Mariiiia

[monterreyqueen]

You're not going to take me anywhere, I know it. Maybe you'll throw me around some one-on-one places, but then you'll abandon me again.

You toy with me once, forgiven. Twice?

That's not going to happen, child.

I never would have imagined someone would have the gall to toy with you even the once.

[Look at him, keeping his distance.]

[monterreyqueen]

Really, Major.

[She pins him with a Look. It's frighteningly reminiscent of a mother exasperated with her troublesome child.

Which, honestly, is what this is.]

Don't you think that sounds a little silly coming from you?

[empathetics]

[He sees that look, and lifts his chin slightly in return.]

I don't know what you're implying. I've never toyed with you, Maria.

[monterreyqueen]

[She scoffs.]

First you run away and leave me all alone, then you send me well wishes through through Peter and his little mate.

[Her sad little frown would be completely convincing to someone who didn't know her inside and out.]

You think that's not toying?

[empathetics]

I was merely trying to be cordial. I'm sorry if you saw it as something more.

[monterreyqueen]

Why even bother? If you have to pass it through so many people, clearly you don't even care.

[empathetics]

I have a family Maria, I can't just leave them to see how you're faring.
