(no subject)
Briony is here.
Ever since Cecilia had told him of her sister's appearance, it was all he had thought on, alternating anger and fear in turns. It made him restless and irritable, and he woke early after a night of little sleep and simply went walking in an attempt to burn off the furious energy that filled him and made him unable to sit still.
In truth he did not know whether he was trying to avoid Briony or seek her out. Did he want to confront her? After his encounter with Sacharissa Cripslock, he had an idea of the anger and rage that would fill him were he actually face-to-face with Briony, and that rage made him fearful. Despite Briony's accusations, Robbie had never been a violent man. Even the war had not fundamentally changed that, but if he were to come face to face with her... he did not want to think what he might do. It would be best if they did not meet.
It was because of his wish to avoid Briony that Robbie steered clear of the compound. She would likely have spent the night in the crash room and there was a good chance she would still be there. He did not want to see her. But he needed to rid himself of his anger before going back to Cecilia, for she was just as angry and upset as he, and he wanted to be able to comfort her. It was that that brought him for a run on the beach, feet pounding furiously on the hard-packed sand between the surf and the dunes as if by pushing himself he could purge himself of his anger. He ran past the spaceship and the signpost and the dock, only stopping when he felt his lungs would burst and his knees would give out beneath him.
Robbie stood there for a while, looking out at the water and wondering how much longer the peace would last, and then slowly began to make his way back down the beach.
[ooc: catch Robbie anywhere on the beach.]
