As much as Dimitri agreed that there was no other choice, Abe's plan had bothered him from the beginning. It wasn't that he thought the plan wouldn't work, more that Dimitri hated the thought of destroying Rose's already insanely precarious record. There wasn't a lot of precedence for fugitives returning to their positions, innocent or not ( Read more... )

Dimitri might be on edge, but Rose was almost too tired to be. Sure, she hadn't done anything all week except sit in a jail cell and get accused of murder, but somehow that was exhausting.

She fiddled with the ugly pink bedazzled Flyers cap in her lap, really wanting to throw it out the window. But it seemed the only disguise she had (and she was not cutting her hair) for now so keeping the horrible thing was the plan.

The plan. Somehow everyone she trusted the most had conspired to make one without bothering to mention it to her. Which was a little annoying. Rose kept reminding herself that without that, she'd still be sitting in that cell, waiting for her trail, but still! Didn't they trust her at least a little?

"Where are we going?" she asked (again) as she stared out at the generally ugly landscape.

She snorted. "You and Abe decide we need to get up close and personal with some hillbillies then?" Rose twisted her lips. "Wish we could go to Fandom, but talk about obvious."

"Sometimes obvious is the best choice," Dimitri told her, bristling a bit at her judgment of his addition to the plan.

Rose looked at him in surprise, unable to hide the flare of emotion at the admission. "Wait, you mean it?"

guardian_god April 2 2011, 01:04:03 UTC

"It's a good way to disappear for a few days. Besides, the town is familiar to us while not easily accessible." Dimitri wondered if she was angry with him for the choice. He almost hoped she would be.

"Plus no one's gonna think we'd go straight there," she agreed, leaning her head against the car window. It was kind of an interesting idea. Rose couldn't deny that she'd spent a lot of the past week remembering the island.

Rose couldn't look at him but she had to ask the next question. "Why did you come with me? They were believing you finally."

guardian_god April 2 2011, 01:24:49 UTC

"Lissa asked me to." It was the truth, even if Dimitri could guess how Rose would react to hearing those words. "I promised I would keep you safe for her."

guardianborn April 2 2011, 01:30:36 UTC

"Lissa did what?" Rose snapped, whipping her head towards him. "She shouldn't have done that. They'll never accept you now."

Somehow getting upset about Dimitri losing his place in their society again was easier than thinking about the fact that he'd had to be asked to go with her.

guardian_god April 2 2011, 01:37:02 UTC

"They were never going to accept me regardless, Rose," Dimitri assured her. "Would you rather be on the run and alone?" Not that it was an option.

guardianborn April 2 2011, 01:43:25 UTC

"I could handle it," she retorted. She'd done it before, and here she even spoke the language so big plus there.

Going there wasn't the best idea ever though, and somehow Rose managed to restrain herself. Instead she continued insistently, "Lissa could have made them accept you. It just was going to take some time."

guardian_god April 2 2011, 01:51:42 UTC

"I don't think that's true," Dimitri replied, really preferring the other line of thinking. "I don't understand how you're so accepting."

guardianborn April 2 2011, 02:03:06 UTC

Rose looked over at him, shifting so she could face him more completely. "Must've gotten done being mad at you for stuff you did when you weren't you when we were at Fandom," she said snarkily.

guardian_god April 2 2011, 02:20:39 UTC

If Dimitri hadn't been driving, he would have been staring at her for that response. "Fandom was different."

guardianborn April 2 2011, 02:27:40 UTC

"Yeah, you're right," she agreed easily. "Fandom didn't take away anyone's soul."

guardian_god April 2 2011, 02:35:31 UTC

"Fandom also didn't cause anyone to commit murder or torture people they loved." His counter argument might not have been strong to her, but it mattered a lot to him.

guardianborn April 2 2011, 02:42:17 UTC

Don't mind Rose's wince at the past tense. Even with recent demonstrations, it hurt too much.

"Yeah, it did," she said, remembering Griff's reaction to finding himself in a vampire's body. "That's not the point though."
