Revelations
WHO: Cathair and Eden
WHEN: Morning
WHERE: The Gym in town

To say Cathair was getting restless was an understatement. Two nights in a row of drinking hadn't made things any better, although today at least, his groin didn't hurt. Reading was no good, he'd already read all the books he had, and his mind was far too busy to concentrate on reading. Praying hadn't help much either.

So he was down to beating out the stress. Luckily, there was a small gym in town. He didn't need much, just a heavy bag and a few hours. He was dressed simply in a black sleeveless tee shirt that's screen printed design had long faded to a collection of dots and a plain gray pair of sweats with his usual heavy boots, his hair clubbed back and his hands wrapped up with athletic tape he'd nicked from the druggist's shop. After warming up, he started taking out his frustrations on the heavy bag.

His fighting style was nearly pure boxing, with the occasional knee shot or cross jab with an elbow. Effective and brutal. This was what he needed, to work up a good sweat and off some of the nervous energy that was building. They were waiting for the axe to fall and it had set his combat nerves to nonstop twitching. This would hopefully keep him from making another mistake like he had with Eden.

"Considering the situation we're in, I'll be surprised if there's not," he admitted wryly, shaking his head at her grin.

He had to admit there was more use for that sort in urban warfare as opposed to the sort she'd been doing.

Pinhole cameras were a possibility, but they weren't good for recording large areas. Even he knew that. The idea sort of made him want to smash mirrors to see if they were behind them. That didn't make any sense either.

Of course, his thoughts were utterly derailed when Eden kissed his cheek. He looked startled, wondering if she wasn't trying to wind him up again. She seemed to take perverse pleasure in tormenting him. "All right," he said in a stunned voice.

Yeah, her warfare wasn't exactly urban... it was the savanna and the ocean and the mountains... Everywhere but urban if they could manage it. Sometimes though, sometimes they had to hit an underground shop.

Well, she didn't know that so all she knew was a little terminology. It didn't really matter to her if they were being recorded right now. If they couldn't find the cameras or the recording devices, then there was really no point in trying to plan around them. They were likely everywhere and every word being recorded no matter what. Why bother worrying over the uncontrollable?

She arched an eyebrow at the look on his face. Apparently he didn't even get platonically kissed by women much. Quite thankfully, she hadn't stood up much at all by the time he looked like a startled rabbit. And he was too right in that she loved to torment him. So she sort of fell back to her knees and half onto him to press him into a much better, firmer kiss to his lips. Just because he looked so startled at something so innocent. If he was going to go wide-eyed, she was going to make it worth it.

Yes, and all he knew was urban warfare. Which was likely one small advantage. Between the two of them, they pretty much had both sorts of guerilla warfare covered.

That was true enough. Perhaps they would have take their captors overconfidence as a flaw to work with. Pride was a flaw.

Generally not by women who were under the age of 60 or relations. Some of his long time customers in Belfast had been so affectionate with him, treating him like a son and trying to set him up with their daughters. But young women? No, not at all.

Yes, startled. Because this really wasn't the time nor place for this. Not that he wasn't kissing her back. He was paranoid and careful, not bloody dead. And if he were being honest, it'd been far too long since he'd let a woman get this close.

This was a distraction and she was definitely tormenting him. He managed to pull away, trying to gather his senses enough to protest properly. "You're distracting me," he informed her rather stupidly. Yes, she was clearly trying to distract him. And succeeded.

It really wasn't and she knew it but that's what made it better. It was a way to break the air around them, the tension in both of them. The bigger surprise was that he was kissing her back but she wasn't about to pull away just because he'd startled her right back in turn.

Her hands were settled on his shoulders just so she wouldn't fall over and she licked her lips lightly when he pulled away, not fighting him on it. After all, she was the one being evil. "Mm, yes. But you like it. Besides, a distraction like that is necessary when all you have is plotting and paranoia," she smiled at him, not exactly backing away from him but not going in again.

Well, he wasn't dead. Just paranoid and self-denying.

"All I've ever had is plotting and paranoia," he informed her wryly. "My entire life, both of them, have been complete lies. Not exactly something you want to inflict on anyone else." At least no decent person would.

She shrugged her shoulders, "Unless that's the other person's life too. Trust me, I know. You need the distraction or else it'll eat away everything inside you. Even after it's over." Eden kissed him a third time, lighter than the second before finally standing up properly and stretching her arms over her head. "Think about it, yeah?" She wiggled her fingers at him before starting towards the door. Had she really just propositioned him now? In the middle of all this? She really was insane.

All right, she needed to...stop being right. At least in this instance. After all, she'd just blown away his best argument for never letting anyone get close.

Saints, and then she went and kissed him again. Sweet and soft. Which was the most he'd been kissed in God only knew how long.

What could he say to that? If he told her he considered being alone penance for his crimes, she'd likely thump him. Even if he probably deserved it, he didn't want to go there.

He gave her a half wave, still a bit too stunned to get up. Now he had more nervous energy to burn off and plans to start making.
