Room 326, Tuesday

May 07, 2007 23:39

The door to room 326 was open. Inside, one red-head paced the length of the room, seemingly memorizing. Her cat watched her from the empty bed, his tail beating a rythmic pattern into the mattress. Alanna was very interuptable. And not on the verge of crying, really. It was just so dusty in the room and she had to blink a lot.

Oh, this was going to suck.

Parker had a small package in her hand, wrapped in a gold scarf, and small bag in the other. "So. Um." She handed over the bag. "Shrimp. And a bottle of cream. And some caviar. I don't know, he might like it?"

Parker gave her a half-smile. "Open flame it is. Might as well start breaking the rules at Oxford for a good cause." She studied Alanna for a minute. "Are you and Charlie okay now? Or at least not in a bad place?"

Alanna shrugged. "We promised to try to meet up in a year. Maybe it will even happen."

"That's cool. I'm glad." And now she was stalling, for the same reason she'd waited so late in the day to show up; she didn't want to say good-bye. Even if this wasn't a last good-bye, it was still final enough. Slowly, Parker got to her feet, and smiled a tiny bit. "So."

Too many memories, of fights in France and on the Island, of ankles fixed and bottles of wine drunk and rambling conversations about gods. "So."

Alanna got up and gave Parker a tight hug.

Re: Late Afternoon mparkerceo May 8 2007, 21:21:46 UTC

Parker returned it as tightly as she could, tears pricking at her eyelids but not falling.

Re: Late Afternoon threeweapons May 8 2007, 21:36:14 UTC

"Don't do anything stupid, okay?"

Re: Late Afternoon mparkerceo May 8 2007, 21:44:11 UTC

Parker laughed, Alanna's request keeping the tears from falling as she pulled back, even if her eyes were shiny. "I won't if you won't."

Re: Late Afternoon threeweapons May 8 2007, 23:40:38 UTC

"Deal." Alanna said and stepped back, trying not to burst out crying again.

Re: Late Afternoon mparkerceo May 8 2007, 23:53:28 UTC

"Good." Parker's throat wanted to close up, so she nodded hard, bending down to pet Faithful one last time to hide the way her jaw was trembling.

"Bye, Faithful," she said quietly. "Thanks for everything. I know you'll look out for her and snark at her a lot so she won't be too lonely, without me having to say it."

She straightened, and gave Alanna the best smile she could, taking a couple steps backwards toward the door. "Happy trails. Bon voyage. Au revoir." Parker swallowed hard. "See ya," she whispered, turning to leave.
