sob I am so drugged up right now I don't even APOLOGIES IF THIS IS TOTAL CRAP acemedium February 25 2011, 05:31:23 UTC

[When she'd encountered Wolfwood at her lowest out in the streets and he'd dragged her off to a shelter to help - she realized he had a point. She didn't have the strength to smile right now - or do much of anything - but doing something was better than nothing]

[So she'd buried herself in work. Paperwork, actually, since that's all Phoenix seemed to have around him. The easier stuff she could manage - but the documents full of legalese made her cross-eyed, so that she just organized for him instead]

[She'd been at this for a while - not even bothering to pin her hair up like usual. With no appetite and nightmares keeping her up at night, she'd poured herself over these documents - mindlessly shuffling through them. She didn't even hear the knock, although the door was unlocked]

<3 It's great! Sorry for the lateness~ lawyerific February 26 2011, 15:08:45 UTC

[When no answer came from the knock, Phoenix, worried and paranid, opened the door and stepped inside, warily preparing himself for the worst -- well, he'd have broken down the door if it had been locked, his apartment or not.

But since he was expecting the worst, and had dreamed up a whole bunch of possible scenarios, nothing could really prepare him for the sight of Maya as she was, unkempt and tired looking, dark eyed, maybe a little ill. It shocked him into stunned silence, which he broke half a minute later since she hadn't seemed to notice him at all.]

Maya?

<333 no problem bb~ acemedium February 27 2011, 00:35:42 UTC

Huh?

[Her attention finally caught, she looked up away from her work, and spotted him. Confused by the expression on his face, she blinked tiredly at him a few times and gave a puzzled frown]

Did you need something, Nick?

lawyerific February 27 2011, 02:15:45 UTC

Your NVs off. I was worried about you...didn't even know if you were here, since you weren't around for lunch. Have you been holed up in here the whole time?

[He crept in warily, looking around. Man it was dark, but then there was no power, and only that tiny window...]

What're you doing?

acemedium February 27 2011, 06:20:43 UTC

Yeah, I turned it off. Sorry. [She couldn't bear to look at it right now. Any of it. Why was he worried? She'd been here the whole time, hadn't she? Had it really been that long? There was still light outside, so...]

I guess...

[She looked around to the piles of papers she'd already worked on. There were a few piles she'd managed to complete on her own - and the rest were neatly stacked together and labeled with sticky notes.]

Ah... I was just trying to get some stuff done.

lawyerific February 27 2011, 13:35:38 UTC

Well you know when people vanish here their NVs disconnect, right? It's the same thing...

[He'd been really worried. Still, he went over to the desk, looking over the paperwork warily. Wow, she'd really done a lot.]

This is great. We're going to be able to tidy up the filing system properly with all this done. [Pause.] Actually I have some good news...

acemedium February 27 2011, 17:19:51 UTC

.... Oh. Right. [She'd forgotten about that. Not even reacting to the praise, Maya brushed the hair out of her eyes and looked up to him from the papers. Good news... yeah, they could use some right now]

What is it?

lawyerific March 1 2011, 03:07:20 UTC

It's ah...

[Now he actually had to say it out loud it feels weird. He'd expected Maya to have looked on her NV, so now he has to explain from scratch. Maybe she'll be happy, though. He has to hope for that.]

Trucy's back.

1/2 acemedium March 1 2011, 03:20:44 UTC

Trucy....

[It clicks. Trucy... his daughter. Apollo's assistant. She was safe after all - she turned up again, even though it was months later. She manages a small smile at that]

That is good news, Nick. She turned out to be okay after all, just like I....

acemedium March 1 2011, 03:24:05 UTC

[Suddenly, though, there's another feeling. I've got a new assistant in the future, Maya-- Trucy-- his daughter. Her replacemen--]

[She curses herself for being so selfish when a pang of pain floats up, and quickly pins her smile back up - though it's a little more forced now]

So what are you still doing here, Nick? Go and see her.

lawyerific March 1 2011, 03:41:40 UTC

Well I, er...

[Was worried about you.]

I'm worried that maybe I won't be good enough. A lot can happen in seven years, you know. I want her to really know what the difference in time between us means before we see each other. And I'm...afraid.

[What if I lose her again? What if she gets attacked like Maya was, or...attacked by a monster or something? It's a whole lot of responsibility I'm not sure I'm ready for.]

acemedium March 1 2011, 04:15:21 UTC

[What does she even say to that? What can she say? She looks back down to her paperwork and resumes sorting it]

You'll be fine. Future Nick managed, didn't he?

lawyerific March 1 2011, 19:54:20 UTC

Hey, I don't know how to be a daddy, Maya! I've never done this before. How do you do it?

[He was teasing, of course - trying - moving over to sit opposite her.]

You're going to help me out, right?

acemedium March 1 2011, 20:13:46 UTC

[Normally, she'd make a teasing comment, but...]

I dunno anything about being a daddy, Nick...

[That... makes her pause again. It would be better if she stayed out of their way, wouldn't it? Especially when she was like this. And yet he's asking for her help]

Well, I... if that's what you want, then... I'll try.

lawyerific March 3 2011, 04:14:14 UTC

[Well that was true. Daddy issues and Feys were just one more hurdle, but Phoenix hadn't had a father figure in his life and it had never bothered him. He smiled at her, as warmly as he could manage, and nodded firmly.]

It's what I want. Besides which I can't go out with her when she tries on clothes, can I, and she can't wear that cape forever. You'd be up for a bit of shopping, right?

acemedium March 3 2011, 06:04:42 UTC

[Now that made her fidget]

It would probably be better if it was just the two of you.
