Day 205 [action | open]
[Euphie woke up to an assault and injury charge this morning. She was only expecting one of them. Luckily, she didn't have to wake up in the hospital. She was there only briefly to have her wrist put into a splint for the sprain she earned in Sector 6 when she fell.

The injury isn't going to slow her down though. She has things to do at the educational center today, food to pick up, and she might be in sector four where she lives as well not to mention all points in between. Well, all points except Sector 6. She might just avoid that one for awhile.

So, why are you still reading this instead of getting trapped in a shrinking forcefield with her?]

	Aw man, that's bad luck. Good thing it ain't worse than that though. [ He hesitates, shifting his weight. ] I, uhm... went for a walk an' got into some trouble. [ He could've just said he also tripped and it wouldn't even have been a lie, but man... ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What kind of trouble? [Oh, look at her being all curious and concerned.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-03-01 04:37 pm UTC (link)
	[ Clearing his throat. ] It's... kind of a long story. Helix challenged me t' go out an'... prove m'self. Pick a fight with one of th' critters in there. I didn't like it — I didn't even want to do it, but I'm kinda scared he'll just... not tell me when he goes off to do stupid things like that. Don't really feel like he trusts that I can take care of m'self. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You fought with one of those inmates? [It's not judgement in her eyes or tone. It's concern. Of course that concern is split between Aidan and the nameless inmate.] Why would Helix want you do do that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-03-07 01:15 am UTC (link)
	[ Fought and killed, but he really doesn't want to get into the nasty details. ] It's just... Helix. He wandered off t' do somethin' stupid without tellin' me an' when I confronted him about it, he said he didn't know what I was capable off. That I had t'... y'know. Prove m'self.

	[She frown,s but after a moment, she steps closer, placing a hand on one of his.] You have nothing to prove, Aidan. You're a good man. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-03-09 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	[ Gosh Euphie, what did you just do. He turns his hand under his to hold it, giving it a little squeeze of appreciation as he tries to not be too choked up about this. ] I don't think that's enough for him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-03-09 06:38 pm UTC (link)
	I don't think he'd be with you if it wasn't. You must already be what he wants. [That's how it works, isn't it? Love is not a demanding thing. It is accepting and nurturing—two things she sees clearly enough in Aidan. She returns the squeeze to his much larger hand.] Maybe he wanted to prove something to himself.

[ That's how he thought it worked and then Helix came along and nothing was ever simple again. The blind jealousy, the insecurity, the aggression... it's been a long, hard journey and although things have gotten better, they're nowhere near a good place just yet. Good times, yes. But not a good, permanent place.

Still, he just nods. Agrees, even though he's not sure he should. ]

You think so? Like what?

	[She wishes she had more for him. Some reason to believe, but she doesn't know Helix as well as she'd like to and it still surprises her that things went so badly. Someone was hurt for no reason? In the end she's just simply honest.] I'm not sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Someone was killed for no reason, but he's not about to tell her that. There's only so much he can admit to without feeling like a complete ass. Honesty is good though. He nods, accepting her answer for what it is. ]

Maybe you're right... I don't know, we're pretty different people an' we haven't really known each other that long. He just... speaks a different language, I guess.

	If only the translators could fix problems like that too. I'm sorry things are...complicated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-03-17 01:39 pm UTC (link)
	Don't be. I mean, if it was easy it wouldn't be worth doin', would it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-03-17 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose it wouldn't. [She smiles at him.] I like the way you see things, Aidan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-03-17 10:27 pm UTC (link)
	Really..? [ He shifts a little, a bit of color rising on his cheeks. Most people call him naive. It's rare that anyone agrees with him like this. ] Thanks, Euphie. It means a lot, hearin' that from you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-03-17 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	[She notices the blush, but won't tease him over it.] Well, I mean it. I'm glad I've gotten to know you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-03-18 12:53 am UTC (link)
	I'm glad to have gotten to know you too, Euphie. 's kinda... I don't know, in my list of th' top five things that make prison awesome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-03-18 05:06 am UTC (link)
	[Well, now she's going to be the one to blush.] It is? [Really, she's so surprised by that. She doesn't even notice the bot heading their way.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-03-19 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, definitely! I mean, there's lots of stuff I like 'bout this place but meetin' you... that's pretty high- [ Kiss! ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-03-21 05:10 am UTC (link)
	Ah...? [She blinks in surprise. Did Aidan just...? No, of course not. It was the bot. She looks up to confirm.] [She smiles a little, blushing just a bit.] It looks like we were distracted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-03-21 03:04 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, looks like it... [ Not terribly upset but still a tad... awkward. Kissing is no big deal, but this is Euphie. ] 'm sorry. I mean, I know it ain't my fault or nothin', these machines can be darn sneaky but... y'know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-03-22 01:13 pm UTC (link)
	You don't have to be sorry, Aidan. I don't mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-03-22 06:39 pm UTC (link)
	Good. I don't either... mind, I mean. [ Shifting. ] I guess we should..? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2013-03-22 06:42 pm UTC (link)
	It won't like it if we wait too long. [She steps forward.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-03-22 06:49 pm UTC (link)
	Alright. [ He shifts a little closer, one hand moving up to rest lightly on her shoulder as he leans in to kiss her. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
