Room 201, Sunday Late Afternoon

Sep 12, 2010 17:29

If asked why Rosalind had not made it to the library lately, well, in part it was that wasn't entirely certain if with his situation as it was, that Jono would appreciate too much company ( Read more... )

And this was Rosalind's phone ringing anyway. It was like Elena was psychic! Or excited and trying to think of who to tell! Or able to read narrative!

give_areason September 12 2010, 23:57:09 UTC

If Elena ever became psychic, Rosalind would... do something.

She wasn't sure what, but it would be drastic.

"Rosalind."

Elena wouldn't mind the standard one word greeting, would she?

findingelena September 13 2010, 00:14:41 UTC

"Elena," she replied, sounding amused. "Phone call. Greetings."

They could totally have a meta call right here!

give_areason September 13 2010, 00:19:42 UTC

One eyebrow arched expressively. It was really too bad Elena wasn't there to see it.

"You're in a mood," Rosalind observed, a faint bit of amusement curling around her words.

findingelena September 13 2010, 00:22:49 UTC

"So are you," Elena said. "We all are. Mine just happens to be good."

SHE HAD A DATE. A DAAAAAAAAAATE. One that Rosalind would totally freak out about. So. Uh. Dialing it down a little.

"Why, isn't yours?"

give_areason September 13 2010, 00:33:17 UTC

"Mine's well enough," she said, with a bit of a sigh. "Why is yours good?"

Careful Rosalind.

findingelena September 13 2010, 00:43:06 UTC

"Oh, lots of reasons," Elena said, sounding less chirpy and a touch more careful. "We're planning a move. I finally got Tseng to listen to reason."

And now, to tapdance around the subjects of "Edge," "Midgar," and "me attempting to date Tseng."

give_areason September 13 2010, 00:53:18 UTC

Rosalind frowned at that.

"A move?"

ShinRa was moving from Midgar?

findingelena September 13 2010, 01:00:56 UTC

"It's complicated," Elena said. Time to think up a good lie. Which she should have done before she called. Way to go, Elena.

"But the way things are right now, the Turks are better situated to be of use in Junon, not Midgar."

She hated saying 'Midgar.' Loathed it.

give_areason September 13 2010, 01:05:36 UTC

She frowned a little more. "What's the situation in Midgar?"

Rosalind didn't even know if she wanted to know. But she was a Turk--you asked the questions.

findingelena September 13 2010, 01:07:58 UTC

Being a Turk meant sometimes you had to be a dick.

"Classified," she said, "and not relevant for you for several years to come."

give_areason September 13 2010, 01:10:43 UTC

Rosalind nodded slowly.

"But the move itself is not Classified?"

She would tolerate it. For now.

findingelena September 13 2010, 01:15:46 UTC

"No," Elena decided. "Not classified. It's not that big of a deal. Junon's still a company town, as much as Midgar is."

Nearly said 'was.' Nearly. Dammit, Elena.

give_areason September 13 2010, 01:23:14 UTC

"Has a date been set?" Rosalind asked curiously. Not asking for the date itself mind, just if one had been picked.

findingelena September 13 2010, 01:33:02 UTC

"Not finalized," Elena said, "but the move itself has been decided upon. I spent a while arguing the point with Tseng. I'm amazed that was successful."

give_areason September 13 2010, 01:37:39 UTC

Another bit that didn't... quite... add up. If the move was determined, why would Tseng need to be argued into it?

"He respects intelligence," she said, instead. "And you are quite clever, Elena."

When she wanted to be. Rosalind had a letter from a much younger Elena that put to the test Elena's intelligence then.
