{| 052 |} Accidental & Voice

[The communicator was hit on by accident, the line is fairly quiet, save for a few mutterings of "should I let go" and "should I stay" before a shakey inhale of a breath which could hint that something upsetting had happened to her. She moves slightly to grab the device, intending to use its text function and notices that its on. As she speaks, her ( Read more... )

[Cyrus heard the earlier replies and he has an idea of what's going on. Whether he'll be able to help her is something completely out of his prediction.

But he doesn't bother with asking where she is or if he can come see her; instead, he heads right to deck thirteen.]

[commentlog] scarredpalms September 3 2010, 11:36:42 UTC

[Oh, this is troubling.

And Cyrus has no idea how to deal with it. Why couldn't she need something simple, like research or for him to beat somebody up? Those, he can do. Romantic advice was always someone else's strong point.]

...hm. And you've been here how long?

[commentlog] rdmcatpaw September 3 2010, 11:38:23 UTC

Two years once January comes around.

[commentlog] scarredpalms September 3 2010, 11:52:37 UTC

[Cyrus whistles, low.]

That's a long, long time.

[He hopes he's not here for that long.]

But you still care about your old beau back home. I guess that's... admirable, or something.

[commentlog] rdmcatpaw September 3 2010, 11:57:57 UTC

Yes, we've spent several years trying to save up for the wedding, which might not even come at this rate. So... I've been waiting a long time, in a way.

[There was a weak laugh with bordering tears from her eyes. She wipes at her eyes, feeling bad for Cyrus having to deal with her like this.]

[commentlog] scarredpalms September 3 2010, 12:16:44 UTC

[Ohhh this is awkward. How the hell do you deal with a crying girl. Fuck, Cyrus is sixty-three and he still doesn't know!

Cyrus sets a hand on her back and rubs it gently. Like his touch, his words are soft.]

Come on, quit that. It's alright.

[commentlog] rdmcatpaw September 3 2010, 12:23:13 UTC

[She nods, sniffling a little and wiping her eyes more.]

Sorry, sorry...

[commentlog] scarredpalms September 3 2010, 12:25:30 UTC

[Why is he feeling guilty? What the fuck do you do to him, Catpaw.

His hand moves up to her shoulder and he rubs it lightly.]

Hey, it's fine. Like I said, it'll be alright.

[commentlog] rdmcatpaw September 3 2010, 12:32:09 UTC

[Its her Mithra charm? Or perhaps the time when she asked you to preform that deconstruct magic on her?

She takes a deep breath, managing to tame those tears before looking over with a weak smile.]

Yeah.

[But it dropped as she looked down at her hands. That thought lingering at the back of her head. She had already heard other opinions about the subject but...]

Cyrus... would you...

[Another deep breath, mustering courage to ask him the question.]

Would you move on if the person you were suppose to marry hasn't arrived on board?

[commentlog] scarredpalms September 3 2010, 12:45:53 UTC

[Perhaps it's both.

Cyrus sighs and looks off into the distance. He sees the temple. He sees the wall of ice.

He does not see an answer floating in the air.

Cyrus has never been engaged. He knows little of truly serious relationships - his expertise, if it could even be called that, lies in short relationships with many women. Catpaw clearly isn't like that. She's the kind of girl who feels guilty about leaving her fiancee whom she hasn't seen in nigh two years.

He sighs.]

I don't know. If it wasn't long, I'd hold out, but this is the gods-damned Elegante. We're fucking prisoners here. If you've been here that long and he still hasn't shown up, I say put that on hold, for now.

[commentlog] rdmcatpaw September 3 2010, 13:11:42 UTC

[She listens intently before nodding, her ears were folded and tail limp in movement.]

So... you're saying I should?

[commentlog] scarredpalms September 4 2010, 06:20:55 UTC

[Cyrus is quiet for a few more seconds, and then...]

Yeah. I think you should.

[commentlog] rdmcatpaw September 4 2010, 06:31:27 UTC

Give Reno a chance?

[She looked over, asking for clarification.]

[commentlog] scarredpalms September 4 2010, 06:48:29 UTC

[Cyrus smiles faintly and reaches up to ruffle Cat's hair.]

Yeah. What else?

Re: [commentlog] rdmcatpaw September 4 2010, 08:34:32 UTC

Ah!

[A surprised gasp at the hair ruffling, but it soon passed.]

...That I should let Wil go as well?

[She sounded pained when asking this. Her mind had wandered to the time in Miseraux Coast when he gave her the corsage as an engagement present.]

[commentlog] scarredpalms September 4 2010, 13:12:18 UTC

...yeah. You care about Wil, no shit, but all you can do is wait and hope he'll come here. Hoping does a hell of a lot less than action.

[The hair ruffle turns to an ear scratch.]
