Press Conference # 8

[digitalariel]

"Excuse me, Quora, can you tell us why Mr. Flynn has avoided almost all public appearances since taking over Encom?"

Quorra forced a smile, her unusually white teeth gleaming towards the sea of reporters and photographers. Even after seven press conferences in the past eight months, the public was still calmoring to know anything and everything

Sam smiled to himself while he listened to the conference. He couldn't quite make out the questions from the press, but Quorra's answers told him all he needed to know. They tended to ask the same questions again and again anyway. Eight press conferences since he'd taken control of Encom, and each one went the same way. He could almost predict their questions now. It actually got to the point where it had become somewhat of a game. He needed something to amuse himself while he waited for Quorra, after all

i love you so much <3 <3 <3

Quorra lifted her head to rest on his shoulder and smiled in a weary sort of way. "They're long and exhausting," she admitted. "But it's me everyone wants to hear about, isn't it? I don't mind."

In all honesty, the attention wasn't nearly as flattering as it had been. She was growing tired of it. Yes, she was the only one of her kind, but she wished she could have a little more freedom from the press. They were beginning to stalk her.

"Pizza and movie night?" she asked hopefully. "Or can we go out?"

because of or in spite of my fail? ♥♥ i love you too~

Sam wasn't so good at reading people, but even he could tell that all the attention was starting to get to Quorra. "Yeah, it is you they all want to hear about. You're something new and exciting and interesting, no matter how long it's been. They'll always think you're new and exciting and interesting because-" Because she was the only one. He had trouble saying that out loud. He didn't think that would ever change. Talking about it when she mentioned was different.

"Depends. What do you want to do for dinner? Stay in, or go out?"

both, of course! (cozy)

Her arms tightened around his waist slightly. "I know," she said softly. "I understand. I just wish..." She stopped herself, shaking her head. "Nevermind."

Quorra thought about it for a moment. She'd had quite enough attention for one day, and going out in public risked being followed. Besides, as exhausted as she was, she honestly just wanted to curl up with Sam somewhere safe where neither of them would feel uncomfortable expressing their emotions about each other. It was best keeping their relationship quiet from the press; that was the way they both liked it.

"Let's stay in."
