There would be no one left outside.

[thesamename]

Then it wouldn't really matter.

[ebony_bone]

No, it wouldn't. But that does not stop some people attempting it.

[thesamename]

That's because people are idiots and can't just leave each other alone.

[ebony_bone]

Solitude can be just another cage.

[thesamename]

You clearly need to read more comic books.

[ebony_bone]

Comic books?

[thesamename]

[She sighs, but she reaches out to twirl a strand of blond hair around her finger.]

Never mind.

[ebony_bone]

My ignorance is showing again.

[thesamename]

Yes, but it's not that important.

[Not like Jackie's ever read a comic book in her life, but even she knows about the Fortress of Solitude.]

[ebony_bone]

If you're sure.

[A slight smile, not really used to Jackie giving a concession like that so openly.]

[thesamename]

Solitude isn't so bad.

[She answers vaguely instead. Wouldn't mind a little solitude now, was why she was out and instead of at home with her husband, of course.]

[ebony_bone]

I have always found it a little lonely.

[After her family's death, after losing Acacio and Desidero. She had sought out company in her travels, always, although none had never really been meant to last any longer than the time she would be in that place. None had ever lasted as long as Jackie.]

[thesamename]

That's pathetic.

[She announces this blandly, balances out the earlier concession with some casual pettiness.]

[ebony_bone]

Perhaps.

[A very small smile curving her mouth, and she just reaches to brush some of Jackie's hair back, fingers running down the length of it.]

[thesamename]

[She knocks Dominique's hand away sullenly. Never mind that she'd just been doing the same thing to the other woman a moment before.]

You should try to remedy that.
