[theonewoman]

[ While she wasn't all that sore about...well, literally, missing out on Spring, Meg decided sitting around, hiding, wasn't going to be any better. Nope. She'd miss out on all of it, if she did.

So straightening things up in her dorm, today's a day out, on the fountain, all by her lonesome, with a copy of---nothing. No books this time. Odd? Maybe

[Sinbad cocks his head when he sees her. Sitting by the fountain, that could be understandable, but alone? Then again, last time he saw her it wasn't like she wanted to be bothered very much. He sighs before cracking a smile and approaching her.]

You like being by yourself often?

[Don't mind him just taking the seat right beside you, Meg.]

sorry; went for a nap.

[theonewoman]

[ She takes a half glance up from her comm with a smirk. ]

It's nice.

[ Someone's been a woman of very little words since she died. ]

pssh don't worry about it; ljs ripping me off notifs anyway<3

[blamemeforit]

I suppose...if you like quiet and solitude.

[He matches her smirk with his own. Since he's known her, she's always been of little words; he can't be too concerned just yet.]

Not much of a talker either, I take it?

me too, it seems. nevermind, 2-3 hour delay. shit.

[theonewoman]

[ She holds back a sigh. Just play it cool, sister. He knows nothing, as far as she's concerned. ]

You could say that. You can't be too sure of who's going to hurt you and who you're going to hurt.

I try to avoid both.

fguigfuaig. <3.

[blamemeforit]

[Or does he?]

Now why would you want to avoid someone who has no desire to hurt you?

[theonewoman]

Don't take it too personally, Mr. Persistance.

But they all said that.

[blamemeforit]

[He grins like she's complimenting him or something.]

Well how can you tell one's intentions if you refuse to get close to anyone?

I doubt isolation is so accustom to such a pretty face.

[theonewoman]

You can't tell anyone's intentions whether you get close to them or not. So. Cut out the middle man.

So you wouldn't believe me if I told you I didn't have any friends.

[blamemeforit]

Sure you can if you get to know them long enough.

And no, I can't say I would. And if you convinced me, I might just have to be your friend.

[theonewoman]

No you can't. [ First hand experience. ]

Besides you. Mr. Persistent.

[blamemeforit]

Suure you can. [Has none, really.]

So it's clear we're friends already? Good. I couldn't be happier.

But I still doubt you don't have anymore.

[theonewoman]

Whatever floats your boat then. You'll find out.

I thought we knew this already.

I have to ask them still. Something I'm not that excited about.

[blamemeforit]

And I can guarantee you it'll be the hard way.

Yeah but you made it sound so one-sided it took away from my ego. No worries, it's back up there again.

Ask if your friends? That doesn't sound right.

[theonewoman]

Don't come crying to me, okay?

[ Eyeroll. ]

I was gone. For a while.

A long while.

So yes, asking makes a ton of sense.

[blamemeforit]

Isn't that what friends are for? The cliche 'shoulder to cry on'?

Where'd you go, if you don't mind my asking?

[theonewoman]

[ You've garnered a chuckle. But, true to form, she isn't going to sugarcoat anything. ]

I went for a swim in the river Styx.

[ Is that a bitter tone? Oh yes. ]
