Anti-OTP: Zara/Justin

Feb 02, 2006 21:29

Justin is sitting in the middle of a flurry of abandoned papers and disordered books, reading a commentary on Plato.

He's had a very boring day.

Zara's flinging herself in with a bang of a door and a furious curse, as her day has been not so boring, but infinitely, it would seem, more infuriating.

Justin looks up, too bored to take any attitude other than mild inquiry.

"'lo, Zara," he says.

"'Lo your damn' self!" She throws herself down on the floor, sitting with her back against the wall, and continues to let loose a stream of curses.

Justin watches her, quietly.

There's always something kind of fascinating about Zara in a full fury.

She's positively smoking, her hair dishevelled, and her face is twisted up with being angry, sharp and pointed and angry, and she snarls, and again she looks like a tigress, a trapped tigress in a woman's body, desperate to get out and claw someone to pieces. It's not her glowery everydayness, it's something different: as he says, a full fury.

Justin isn't afraid of Zara at all, not even when she gets like this. Justin isn't afraid of anything except himself and maybe Florian being disappointed in him or something bad happening to Rina.

This probably explains why he stands up and walks a bit closer to her.

She looks up sharply.

"And I suppose y've got something to say, too, haven't you? Well? Y'want to get your throat torn out? I'll do it for you, I'll do it neatly, maybe'll it make me feel better. Damn you, what d'you say?"

Justin tucks his hands in his pockets and shrugs.

He doesn't have anything to say, really. He doesn't have anything to say quite a lot of the time.

He shrugs again.

"No," sneered. "The hell with you. I've got no use for you, any of you. See if I don't take up with a monarchist just for the hell of it, terrify some fool into making me his mistress. See if I don't! Live with a lot of stupid finery and not bother about you or Rina or Stock or Florian!"

"..."

Justin eyes her warily, reasonably sure that she wouldn't, in fact, do this. She'd find it boring.

Oh, she would. She'd probably murder her merchant or run away or do something horribly scandalous within a week, anyway, just to stir things up. At any rate, now, she gives him a horrible fierce look and bares her teeth at him.
