[ MORE VIDEO what is this ] also first comment here yaylonestrayApril 12 2011, 20:20:55 UTC
[Are you surprised, Lust? It's Scar, and he's on video. Not quite looking at the camera at first, but then he turns toward it, looking a bit uncomfortable, hesitant, but determined, at least.]
[ VIDEO?! kshfjsk ] i could say something awful and ridic about scar deflowering lusty's vmsonvisageApril 12 2011, 22:55:48 UTC
[She looks ...panicked. Had she not delivered the money on time? No. Impossible. Words. What are they? They are usually here and easy and what the fuck is this VIDEO. Watch her try and recover some composure. It's slow, but it's happening.
I always have a moment for you is what she wants to say, and she's not sure why she doesn't.

[Her voice is a lot more even than it has any right to be. But recent events? Well, she's a little steely. So where there would normally be stunned silence in return for quite some time, there is only a brief space of it.
Oh, make no mistake, Scar - she's stunned. Just dealing with it a little better. Or ...worse, depending on your point of view.]
There was no other option. Although, I would have preferred the circumstances to be different~
[Tilting her head to look at the screen curiously, alone also and from the looks of it, on the edges of the Ruins. They've never really spoken, but she would have to be an idiot not to know who he is, especially by now, what with the war and all.]
Isley.
[Was that what she was doing, then? Defending Priscilla. (How do these things keep happening?) Hm. It seems she was, even if she'd been speaking from her own perspective.]
I doubt she needs much defending in the literal sense, but...
...so many seem to have no clear understanding of it, yet they insist on being so noisy.
[There might be blood on her gloves as she smooths her hair behind her shoulders, glancing at something off-Forge and ground level.]
There are some that would argue whether I can or not. Some believe Awakened beings are all alike, mindless monsters with no recollection of who they were before they evolved from their former states. It's not true, of course.
[ Isley surveys the screen, committing to memory the red that dots Lust's gloves, and the way that it smears the dark strands of her hair when her fingers disappear into the supple waves. ]
[ Has she killed something, he wonders? If only the camera would pan lower to sate his curiosity... ]
Frankly, I cannot say I understand her as well as people think I should. We may be of a species that is one and the same, but her mind is not my mind, and our individual wants are very different. Is it not like that for most sentient beings, regardless of race or species?
[ He chuckles, softly shaking his head. ]
What man ever truly understands a woman's state of being, besides?
[ When he continues, it is more seriously. ]
They have no right to judge her. Not even I possess that right. She's been much better
( ... )
Of course it's not. That's evident enough in listening to Priscilla speak. Even my limited memories are...
...well, I'm not mindless.
[She has, but it's probably less interesting than you think, Isley. The camera stays where it is, but not out of any real intent to conceal. She's often still when she's thinking.]
Mmm, indeed.
[She returns the smile, steps further into shadow.]
You're right. And yet they keep on judging so harshly. Another human frailty, I'd like to avoid.
She'd have three outposts to smash, wouldn't she?
[Not that she's judging, because as long as it isn't her building being destroyed, she could really care less.]
[ooc: backdated a bit to sometime between this and this. Definitely before minievent starts! His motives are pure. …For now. /endooc]
Hullo, Io.
[wonders for one more millisecond how closely to watch what he says, but he's never been dishonest with her-nor less than fully honest. Even if a bit less fullness may have been more desirable at times.]Please don't respond if you don't want to

I always have a moment for you is what she wants to say, and she's not sure why she doesn't.
Perhaps it's the video she just watched.]
I do.

...did something happen?

[There is a lot of silence, here, Lust. A LOT OF IT. Because dear god wtf is his life sometimes. Words, he does not have them.
But this is something he has to say and trying to run away from it will just make everything worse, as much as he's dreading it.]
...Thank you.
For. ...Saving me.
[HANGING UP RIGHT THERE ohgod. If we can just never talk about that. Kissing. Thing again, it would be fabulous.

It's not as if I could have let you lie there and die when I could prevent it.

You're welcome, Scar.

[ Isley is alone for the moment. Outside, it seems, upon a rooftop. The view suggests it may very well be the Patrol Headquarters' roof. ]
I'm grateful to you for defending Priscilla.
[ While it was unnecessary, his gratitude is still sincere. ]
With so many opposed to Priscilla's awakened state of being, it is refreshing to encounter someone open to understanding her instead.

I have a question, or possibly a favour to ask.
You showed me a memory once. The device that held it… is it reusable? Or may I ask where you got it?
It's been a while since we spoke. Let me know if you'd like to change that.
Yours,
Remus

The device is tunnelmen made, but should you not want to trouble yourself with purchasing one for yourself...
...I'm happy to lend you mine.
[Is the yes clear enough for you? Well, she's feeling a little tired of being vague, so:]
I do.
But you're not mine anymore.
[There's a smile in her voice. It's sincere.]
Reply
In some ways. Still, I'm your friend and at your service.
I might purchase one eventually, but if I could borrow yours initially, that would be helpful.
I'm planning to walk through the market tomorrow, and perhaps the park. Would you like to join me? We can end at your place so I can pick it up.

[She's getting used to this. She never thought she would.]
How could I say no?
