Don't need a deep breath for that.

It's a relaxing movement. Sometimes it helps.

What if you're always relaxed?

Then I'm very envious.

[A smile, and she fumbles casually for her cigarette pack in her pocket.]

Worrying will only mess things up a little further, y'know? As long as you keep your eyes on the ball.

[She draws a cigarette and this is spoken with the filter already tucked between her lips, voice muffled.] But t'tell you the truth? A hearing ear also helps.

Can't argue with either of these things, but it's easier said than done. Worrying is a pretty natural part of the human condition, sadly.

[ Giles fishes out his lighter somewhat automatically, having developed a somewhat ... lighter-happy arm swing lately. He almost seems a little surprised by his movement, but offers it anyway. ]

Hm, I guess. But the human condition kinda... shifted, where I'm from, so I guess we had to change attitudes.

[She arches her eyebrows, surprised, as well. She leans into the flame, grinning and takes a small drag just to light the cigarette up.] Aren't you a gentleman. Thank you.

Where you're from? [ He isn't yet familiar with the concept of various different worlds. ]

[ Smiling a little sheepishly, he shrugs. ] No problem. It seems to be turning into a bit of a reflex.

A literal hellhole. [She shrugs, but tilts her head, smiling.] That's a good reflex to have. Girls dig that.

Wow. I'm sorry to hear that. [ He colours a little, faintly, at her next comment, laughing and rubbing his neck a little awkwardly. ] Is that so? I'll have to remember that.

[She waves a hand dimissively, good-naturedly.] It has its ups and downs. [She smiles and winks.] Well, I like it, at least. I don't hang out much with girls to know for sure.

Oh, right. [ He can handle conversations when they don't wander into the realms of ... girls ... (how old is he, seriously?) so now he'll just stand a little awkwardly for a moment, before suddenly speaking again. ] If you don't mind me asking... where exactly are you from?

[ A "literal hellhole" kind of catches his attention a little. ]

[She exhales a short and quick stream of smoke, her expression moving to a mild seriousness, even if her eyebrow arches in a "you're not going to believe this" manner.]

Ever heard of the Rapture?

Reply

itdisappeared August 25 2011, 17:24:37 UTC
Sure. [ He nods, not quite sure why the Rapture is involved, of all things... ]

Well, where I come from, it happened. Not many people went to Heaven, let me tell you. They took that one "sinning" deal too seriously, so you could just covet the same beer a guy has, and you're grounded for life.

[She grins a little in some disbelief.] Are you with me so far?
