OOM: Cheer Up, Emo Steph

Feb 12, 2006 15:26

Steph's on the balcony, lying along the rail like a cat, resting her head on her hands and staring down at the iced-over lake below. One leg's wound through the railings to keep her from falling off. Her face is almost hidden in the hood of her oversized jacket - hey, you gotta keep warm somehow ( Read more... )

Dick is inclined.

And soon enough, she's joined by a brother who is balancing himself with a handstand on the same railing.

"So, you moved."

"Yeah," Steph says, without looking up. "Ed needed someone keeping an eye out for him." And so did I, she doesn't add, because you don't. Not to Dick.

"And is he keeping watch over you?"

Dick balances on one hand, and uses the other to poke at her.

"And who is Ed?"

Steph doesn't react to the poking except with a half-irritated shrug. "You haven't met him? Blonde, short, metal arm and metal leg, long hair, about my age."

She stares down at the lake. There are people skating on it. There are little flashes of light off their blades when the sun hits them right.

"He's been away all week, so no."
