09. The first move [Location: Cheyenne Mountain] [Locked to: Vala]
Frankly, it was a sign of just how bad this Mitchell was, that no one had even thought twice about anything he'd done. Not really, certainly not to his face. He'd just...losened up, he'd stopped lying to everyone, and apparently, this Mitchell had always been a terrible liar.
He didn't really have a plan, not strictly so, anyway. He was playing all this by ear. Impulse, gut instinct, and sometimes blind guesses. It covered fairly well for his missing years of memories dealing with the two who knew the other Mitchell. He wasn't the calculating sort -- that was more Sam's deal. He'd only mess it up if he started.
So, here he was. Following instinct. He'd debated following it, for once. One could've argued he was doing the other Mitchell a favor, discarding, rather than embracing, the other's hypocrisy. But he knew himself, no matter the universe. This was the right step to take. It was the first, real step he'd made so far.
He summoned a slim smile, and knocked on the door to the young rogue's quarters. Belatedly, he hoped she was actually there.
[OOC: Yeah, pretty much the best I could think of. Also, zomg I exist. Freaky.]
