Who: Vaughn & Aaron.
What: A more interesting chemistry lesson.
Where: Back table of the local library
When: Afternoon
Warnings: Not sure yet.
Notes: Vaughn is rearranging her apartment this week, so Aaron gets his first lessons outside of the craziness that is 1002.
The past two days had been a numbing kind of chaos. The calm before an unstoppable storm, Vaughn felt clearheaded for the first time in a long time. She sat at the very last table in the quiet library, flipping through a book on modern warfare kind of absentmindedly as she waited for her tutoring student to show up.
After what had happened with Boyd, Vaughn had sat alone in the living room for a long and quiet hour. Sipping some sweet southern iced tea and coming to dark conclusions. She poured the bottle of vodka down the sink, it didn't let her think correctly. It let her make mistakes. Mistakes like with Boyd, which Vaughn didn't reflect on very much. She knew she still had the redhead in her palm, the girl just needed a couple of days distance. And then Vaughn would console her again, and prove herself again, and everything would be alright.
She'd dragged most of the furniture out of the spare bedroom. And gathering a hammer and nails, she'd begun a new construction. Which is why she'd sent the note to 104, telling him to meet her at the library for their lesson instead.
Vaughn was sucking a caramel iced latte through a straw, dressed down in inkblack jeans and a cableknit white sweater. Her pale eyes flicking across the pages of the book, her mind wandering to good thoughts. Daniel. In his cage.
She almost seemed warmblooded.
