11th Frontier [audio // common]

[Phoenix sounds incredibly worn and tired.]

It would be nice to know if anything good came from these recent events.

[Locked to Odette - 69 % Unhackable]

Odette, I believe I owe you an apology for not responding to you earlier. I was not... in the best of conditions at the time.

[He still isn't, but he's not going to go into that.]

#ashelin, uncharted depths, #odette, dark warriors, it's going to be a long flight home

[Ashelin is not happy with you.]

Yes? Something you need?

[Locked to Ashelin // 69% Unhackable] ecopiracy January 27 2010, 02:29:27 UTC

[Phoenix grimaces at the tone.]

I'm sorry.

[Locked to Phoenix // 90% Unhackable] nottheaveragekg January 27 2010, 02:30:38 UTC

I just bet you are.

[Locked to Ashelin // 69% Unhackable] ecopiracy January 27 2010, 02:35:36 UTC

You honestly have no idea...

[He makes an aggravated noise. He had not meant to say that out loud.]

You weren't worried, were you?

[Distraction technique is a go.]

[Locked to Phoenix // 90% Unhackable] nottheaveragekg January 27 2010, 02:36:45 UTC

Of course I was.

[Fuck.]

I mean a little. Not much. Just a little.

[Shut up, Ashelin.]

[Locked to Ashelin // 69% Unhackable] ecopiracy January 27 2010, 03:07:31 UTC

[That's actually rather touching, and it makes him smile despite the fact that he can still see flashes of purple at the edge of his vision.

It's unexpected as well.]

Oh? You must have been incredibly worried for you to admit to it at all.

[It's the first thing that comes to his mind, and thus the thing that he says.]

[Locked to Phoenix // 90% Unhackable] nottheaveragekg January 27 2010, 03:09:31 UTC

Does it really seem like I don't worry about you? You've got no clue, Phoenix. You're so damn stupid.

[Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up.]

Whatever. Like it matters. Like you even care. Shit.

[Fuck. Please to be skipping this conversation now, thanks.]

[Locked to Ashelin // 69% Unhackable] ecopiracy January 27 2010, 03:24:27 UTC

Of course I care. Have I ever given you reason to think that I don't? And yes, it does feel like you are very rarely concerned about me. To be fair, though, I am just as rarely in need of such concern.

[Locked to Phoenix // 90% Unhackable] nottheaveragekg January 27 2010, 03:26:55 UTC

I don't want to have this conversation. Okay? Okay.

It's done.

[And now she's deliberately going to avoid any further questions that pop up about this.]

[Locked to Ashelin // 69% Unhackable] ecopiracy January 27 2010, 03:36:35 UTC

I see...

[He's probably assuming all sorts of things now, Ashelin. You can hear the smile in his voice.

Although it does fade fairly quickly.

Precursors this is going to be awkward.]

Ashelin, I think it would be best if we... didn't see each other, for a time.

[Locked to Phoenix // 90% Unhackable] nottheaveragekg January 27 2010, 03:39:46 UTC

[She pauses. It's a very blatant pause. It's a very hesitance pause. She's on edge.]

Phoenix?

[She doesn't want to ask. She doesn't want to know. She doesn't want to argue. She doesn't want to give in. She doesn't want to hear what he's going to say. It'll actually hurt and she doesn't want to hurt.

Ashelin forces her teeth together.]

By all means, whatever the hell you want.

[That's not how she feels at all, but.]

[Locked to Ashelin // 69% Unhackable] ecopiracy January 27 2010, 03:56:21 UTC

[Phoenix winces.]

It isn't like that. I only think it's in your best interests if you are not where I can reach you.

[Locked to Phoenix // 90% Unhackable] nottheaveragekg January 27 2010, 04:12:29 UTC

What are you talking about? You want me to trust you. You want to get inside my head, right? You have to talk to me. I'm not so Mardamned epic that I can just pull the answers out of you.

Just tell me what's going on.

[Locked to Ashelin // 69% Unhackable] ecopiracy January 27 2010, 04:34:50 UTC

No, that's entirely the problem. I don't want you to trust me right now. I want you to avoid me until I am certain I will not turn on you instead. I-

[Deep breath. Calm down, Phoenix. He rubs the bridge of his nose. It doesn't help with the crackle of energy that's thrumming in his ears.]

I do not want to hurt you.

[Locked to Phoenix // 90% Unhackable] nottheaveragekg January 27 2010, 04:47:19 UTC

[She's not expecting that. She blinks.]

Worried about hurting me? What? You're in a--

[He's in a relationship with her and he's worried about hurting her.

She sighs, makes it very apparent. CAN YOU HEAR THAT, PHOENIX?]

Phoenix, did you just hear yourself? You're worried about hurting me, of all people, the one damn woman on this ship who can take a punch and give it back. What the hell makes you think you're going to hurt me?

You're obviously nuts.

[Locked to Ashelin // 69% Unhackable] ecopiracy January 27 2010, 12:59:10 UTC

[She isn't taking this seriously, damn it.]

Ashelin, under any other circumstances, I have no doubt that you could deal me a fair amount of damage, but the condition I am in right now is not normal, and yes, I may lose my mind at any moment.

That is why I want you to avoid me.
