Great. Merry Christmas.

[compromisedarrow]

Problems?

[starcrossed_hawk]

Nice name. Live up to it?

[hawkeyedgirl]

One or two.

[unmakeme]

[She's not going to comment. She's also not walking away. She just observing, for the moment, trying to wrap her mind around this and decide what it means and how much of a reaction she can allow herself.]

[compromisedarrow]

Feel like sharing?

[hawkeyedgirl]

I do okay.

[hawkeyedgirl]

No.

[ The sort of 'no' that means 'maybe', actually, because the potential of him getting it is high.

At least, if he's who she thinks he is. ]

[hawkeyedgirl]

If you're here to see the Hawk-Eyed Girl, turns out she doesn't perform anymore.

[cobwebbed]

And to all a good night.

That's how it goes, right?

[compromisedarrow]

[A shrug.]

Your choice. Sometimes it's good to share.

[Not that he ever would share stuff himself.]

[hawkeyedgirl]

I didn't wish it 'to all'.

[ Just to the mun.

And she wasn't exactly being sincere. ]

[hawkeyedgirl]

I guess you'd know.

[compromisedarrow]

Know what?

[hawkeyedgirl]

Don't tell me you got to... however old you are, and you still don't have any friends.

[ Just ... operating on assumptions, for now. ]

[starcrossed_hawk]

And what do you do okay?

[unmakeme]

That's too bad.

[She approaches slowly, forcing her steps to fall with enough force to be easily heard, even if the girl won't look at her.]

From what I hear, I missed a hell of a show.

[hawkeyedgirl]

[ A tight shrug. ]

I survive.

[thedirective]

Short on spirit?

[hawkeyedgirl]

There'll be someone else.

[ Isn't that how it goes? She'll be replaced. She's on her own. ]

[cobwebbed]

Yeah, I kind of figured. Just in case you forgot your...holiday sayings.

[ she's kind of hostile and exactly the kind of person that doesn't want to be bothered, but penny's never been good at keeping her mouth shut.

or maybe it's because she thinks she knows something about being angry all the time, too. ]

[hawkeyedgirl]

It'd be easier to name things I'm not short on.

[ The list is pretty small. ]

[starcrossed_hawk]

Worthwhile occupation.

[hawkeyedgirl]

I can think of better things to fill my head with.

[ Christmas. What a useless holiday. ]

[hawkeyedgirl]

Pays for itself, at least.

[ Survival yields more survival. It is its own purpose. Very simple; she likes that. ]

[unmakeme]

Someone else who isn't you. People can't be so easily replaced.

[It took her years of tireless effort to make herself believe that. It's a hard thing to accept. But someone was patient with her, she can be patient in this.]

Can I sit?
