Who: Isobel and Archer
What: Not talking about feelings, that's for sure
Where: 906
When: Immediately after this
Warnings: Isobel is confused and upset. Archer is worried and incapable of accessing his emotions.
Archer smoothed a hand through his hair as he locked the door to his apartment. For reasons he didn't understand, his hands were shaking as he slipped the key into his pocket. He was dressed in ill-fitting, faded clothing that seemed to exaggerate how worn and thin he really was. Were he in a better state of mind, he might have gotten dressed to hide all the insecurities and fears that were leaking from his ears.
But he wasn't in a better state of mind. And might not be for a while.
His footsteps were harried and careless on the stairs. Though it wore him out, he practically ran up them to the ninth floor. Normally, he'd have taken the time to compose himself after reaching Isobel's floor before knocking on her door, but he couldn't. Face flushed from exertion, skeletal chest rising and falling rapidly, he knocked heavily on her door. "Isobel?" he asked the door, leaning forward slightly against it as he knocked again. "It's-" He wanted to say Jasper. He wanted to use his first name around her, because that's what friends did. But he bit his lip. "Archer." Griffin would have smiled. It made him sick.
