What goes around comes around

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 5:33 pm

She wants to turn around and run because good god does that seem like it'd be easier right now, but she doesn't.

"But... I... how doesn't that scare you?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 5:38 pm

"I've never let anyone tell me what I should want. Why would I start now?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 5:44 pm

"Who cares about anybody else..." she mumbles, though the true reason why she's scared still eludes her. Or maybe she can't admit it to herself that in order to do this she needs to stop running away. Or realize what she's running from in the first place.

"So the only one I'm thinking about in this case is you, and what's bloody wrong with that?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 5:54 pm

"N-nothing, just..." No one cares about me.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 5:56 pm

She looked the sphinx straight in the eye.

"That's just not true."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 5:58 pm

Nailah eyes snap open though she's almost scared to look Sam into the eye.

"Sure... for a while..." she says quietly.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 6:02 pm

"Do you really still think I'm going to get sick of you?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 6:08 pm

"No but..." she trails off, not sure what to say, trying to ignore the voice in her head that's telling her to run before she gets hurt. Again. Has that always been there? Not in her conscious mind at least...

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 6:15 pm

"Is this even what that vision you had told you was going to happen?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 6:22 pm

"It's a little less straight-forward than that, okay?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 6:27 pm

"Then can't we just bloody talk about it?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 6:32 pm

"I'm trying, okay? This isn't easy!"

"The... fact that I'd be with you more than once was enough to make me curious..." she finally admits.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 6:36 pm

"I know you really don't want it to stop being special, or at least so you've said."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 6:40 pm

"Oh please... even I didn't buy that. Thrill and surprise I could get anywhere. At least I used to. And it's not like I don't want it. It just... feels pointless and hollow now..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 6:42 pm

"It sounds horrible to say it, but part of me is rather flattered by that."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 6:50 pm

"Well great." she mumbles, only a little bit disgruntled.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 6:51 pm

"It isn't as if my full attention is anywhere but you."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 6:58 pm

"Are you trying to make me feel guilty here? I'm not even sure if I should be, part of me sure thinks I shouldn't, but..." she sighs.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 7:04 pm

"Just that I'm feeling the same way about you, I think."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 2:58 am

"Right... yeah... great..." she doesn't look at all comfortable right now though it doesn't seem to be entirely because of Sam judging by the way she's glacing around at the walls. "Could we go outside again? I don't give a damn if anyone listens in..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 10:11 am

"Alright. Just..."

"...please don't run."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 10:20 am

"I won't. Just need to get some air. Too stuffy here..." she mumbles and sets off in a hurried walk.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 10:39 am

With a bit of worry on her face, she followed after.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 11:48 am

She quite literally straightens up once she's outside, her shoulders less slumped, her wings no longer packed tightly against her back.

"Much better..." she sighs with relief.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 12:28 pm

"I never pegged you for claustrophobic."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 12:33 pm

"Was just too much at once. Usually it's not that bad..." she mumbles, not sure if she should feel embarrassed or not.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 12:40 pm

"Look, do you honestly think that if I find out too much about you that will change things between us?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 12:43 pm

"It might!"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 12:44 pm

"Things are already changing between us, but not in any bad way that I can tell."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 12:53 pm

"What makes you so different then, huh?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 12:54 pm

"I'm not sure how to answer that. The heart wants what it wants, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 1:01 pm

"That's not... I mean... Not again..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 1:04 pm

She tried to meet the sphinx's gaze rather pointedly.

"Who hurt you like this? I'm afraid I want to do some rather unpleasant things to them."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 1:09 pm

"Afraid someone beat you to it..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 1:10 pm

"Then I'm envious."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 1:19 pm

"No... It wasn't her fault they got her. She wasn't even a mutant..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 1:21 pm

"So you're that ready to forgive her?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 1:29 pm

"There's nothing to forgive! They made her sell me out to them! And as thanks they killed her for treason and conspiring with the enemy. Just so they could find me and lock me away..." she says, her anger disappearing fast and she just sounds defeated. She obviously hasn't faced this in a long time.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 1:35 pm

"That's never going to happen to you again. Not if I have anything to do with it."
