"Grif."

He didn't really think he would get out of explaining all of this to her, did he? She's here now. She's also giving him the look. He can pretend he doesn't see it all he want, but she will get his story eventually.

Grif doesn't respond. He shuts his eyes and pretends to be asleep.

Maybe if he ignores it, it will go away.

No dice. She props her arm against the wall and leans. She's not leaving anytime soon.

"The sooner you talk the sooner I leave you alone."

the_team_sucks March 18 2010, 05:04:44 UTC

He siiiiiighs and sits up.

"What?"

gogopowersuit March 18 2010, 05:06:14 UTC

"I want you to tell me what happened," simple, straightforward request.

the_team_sucks March 18 2010, 05:07:07 UTC

"Didn't everybody tell you already?"

He can't believe she hasn't heard the whole stupid story yet.

gogopowersuit March 18 2010, 05:09:49 UTC

"Of course they did, but I still need your side."

She understands that Grif was being and idiot, but he's not an idiot without cause. Usually.

the_team_sucks March 18 2010, 16:42:05 UTC

He siiiiiighs again.

"Alright, alright. So. I was down in the city and there was this glowy guy I'd never seen before in my life blowing up buildings and flinging rocks around and crap. I didn't know who he was or what was going on with the Nightmare King or whatever. I thought it was him. So when he slowed down and I could line up a shot, I took it."

He shrugs.

"I thought I was actually doing something nice for once and trying to help save all your asses."

To judge by his tone, he's just holding back a "see if I ever try to help anyone again".

She nods. This is apparently an acceptable story! But... "Alright. I'm not going to lecture you on how what you did was wrong or how dangerously you acted. You were just an idiot and you made an idiotic mistake that could have cost someone his life."

A pause, "But I think you've learned a valuable lesson in listening."

Do as I say, not as I do, Samus?

"What are you, my mom? I have my comm ring, yeah. Problem solved." He holds up the hand with the ring clearly visible.

"And maybe this should teach you guys about making me not want to wear it."

Just when it seems like he's getting the point, Samus...

Samus somehow resists the urge to smack her head up against something hard and blunt.

"I might as well be your mother," she grumbles. "Grif, next time you act out of idiocy, you have no excuses. This was your one chance to screw up. Things will run a helluva lot smoother for everyone including you if you suck it up and cooperate, Grif. Remember that."

She wonders if this is just karma. Adam is laughing at her somewhere.
