The door to room 2754 slams.

A minute or so later, it opens again.

A few seconds and it slams again.

Just to make a point.

But it's open when the other person who lives there finds his way.

Tobias almost shifts human so that he can walk in and slam the door himself, but he doesn't. For some reason it would feel like admitting defeat, or something. And he's not prepared to do that.

Rachel hurt him, after all. And then acted all surprised that it had hurt.

He flaps silently through the door and perches on the back of the couch. His talon tense and relax, slowly shredding the fabric.

Rachel didn't morph for this. But the way she paces in front of the balcony doors is very like the way an agitated wolf stalks back and forth.

Even if the glare she sets on the hawk isn't hungry - just angry.

He waits.

She's the one who demanded this conversation. Tobias was just going to suppress and avoid it for as long as possible fine. Really.

It takes a moment for her to stop pacing, stop moving. But her eyes never leave him.

Even when she crosses the room to slam the door a third time.

"I," she snaps, low and angry, "did not leave you."

She knew the answer to that. He would have given anything to keep her safe.

But he wasn't going to let her cut him off like that.

And he's just going to ignore that second question.

"Like what? What other way, Tobias?"

Er. He meant to say 'you didn't have to go' there.

"Were you going to do it?! If Jake had asked you instead of me, would you have done it?"

Yes.

"That's not what I asked you!"

Because that was obvious.

"If you'd been the one he talked to, if he'd told you what he needed done, would you have done it?"
