[Miranda is leaning heavily against a wall, a playing card clutched carefully, tightly in her hand. Her eyes are screwed shut, and occasionally she releases a shivering, shuddering breath to fight back tears.]

You damn... Idiot.

((Drop fallout, expect angst and tears yada yada yada!))

...Miranda? [Cautiously makes his way over to her.]

[failingfelicity]

[She cracks an eye open, immediately forcing a smile.] Ah, Tyki-

[teasingstar]

Something the matter, love? [Tyki leans against the wall next to her, already reaching to take out a cigarette from his pocket before he stops himself]

[failingfelicity]

[She shakes her head.]

It... It's nothing. I'm sorry.

[teasingstar]

There's no need to apologize.

[failingfelicity]

[Nods, pushing her hair back behind her ears.]

R-right. I don't mean to make you worry, that's all...

[teasingstar]

[He slides down to sit down next to her.] All that matters right now is to make sure you're alright.

[failingfelicity]

I... I'm fine! R-really.

[teasingstar]

Hm, in that case, I do hope you don't mind accompanying me somewhere.

[failingfelicity]

...where?

[teasingstar]

My courtyard. I've left a kitten there and I'm sure she's already made a mess.

[failingfelicity]

You have a courtyard all to yourself? [And a kitten?]

[teasingstar]

Certainly. [Gets up. The kitten belongs to Poppet. He still hasn't given it back to her yet]

[failingfelicity]

[Stands, ready to follow him.] That must be nice.

[teasingstar]

It's a nice way of escaping this place for a good while.

[failingfelicity]

I can imagine. Is it far? [Not that she minds either way.]
