DAY 358 ★ ACTION, CLOSED TO REID & ELENA

[ leia doesn't stop. once she's out the door of the squeeze, she heads directly for the next sector. she knows that spencer lives in sector three's apartments, but she doesn't know which apartment — but she doesn't need to. it's easy to seek out and find his distinct presence once she's on the grounds of the complex. she follows it until it leads her to his door.

she takes a moment to school her expression, expertly pulling back her rage and replacing it with something much more neutral. whether her mask will work on a criminal profiler is up for debate, but leia can't bring herself to care.

raising her hand, she knocks on the door. ]

	...If the time seemed right. It's not an easy subject to broach. I've talked to Chekov about it — about him — but he already had a pretty good idea about what was going on. I never wanted to hurt you, that's why I didn't say anything. If I'd known that was wrong, I would've... I would've told you the moment we met. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I had a pretty good idea, too. Just not with you.

[ it was like she said earlier: elena had already told her. the other girl didn't seem to know any of the gritty details, so to speak, but recognized enough to place leia within that fictional universe and inform her of its existence. because she wanted to be honest, and leia appreciates that honesty more than ever. kest, she even appreciates damon calling her "miss fisher".

she scoffs, no longer angry, but still annoyed — disappointed. ]

You know, I've had quite enough of being lied to, because people don't want me to get hurt. No time would have been the right time. Timing is never right.

	[ He nods - okay. Okay. He made a bad call and he can't exactly go back on it now so let's just move on and maybe explain how he's thinking. ] Back home, I deal with people who have a very loose grasp of reality on a near daily basis. My mom included. [ He hesitates — it's not an excuse, just putting it into context. ] I guess it's made me overly cautious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ a sharp huff of annoyance, because she can understand where he's coming from. someone in his line of work, who grew up with a mentally fragile mother... ] I really wish you would stop making it so hard to stay angry with you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ joking or not, leia's sorely tempted to do it again. to add another bruise (welt? black eye? whatever you're rolling with that punch causing...) to his collection, but now that they've gotten to the heart of the matter and the bottom of the bikini incident, she doesn't have it in her to deck him again.

but she will scoop up an armful of notebooks to throw at him. ]

	[ Bruise, perhaps developing into a black eye. It'll be noticeable for at least a week. Good punching. And if she wanted to really hit him where it hurts, she grabbed the right thing. The fear is instant, panic not far behind. ] No no no no- be careful with those! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ meangirls.gif the satisfaction she gets from throwing his notebooks to the ground (and at him) is momentary, for that swell of fear and panic catches up with her like an icy gust of wind. it has her freezing in place and looking down at the remaining notebook in her hands. she opens in, flips through a few pages. ] Your research...

[ It's not that he's all that concerned about it getting creased or shifted out of place. Eidetic memory. He could easily recreate it and has a few times already... which is why he doesn't want to start over again. Okay, so maybe she just tossed around a small bundle but he's fidgety enough as it is. ]

It's okay... it's okay. It's fine. Just- maybe throw something else at me?

[ oh, reid. she wouldn't choke you with the force. she'd throw you into a wall with it. c: ]

Just water is fine. [ which means she's hanging around longer than she intended.

of course, she originally planned on saying her piece and leaving, but she didn't anticipate him being able to defend himself so readily. kitty's revelation set her off, had her thinking the worst of the person she's grown closest to since she found herself trapped here. ]

	[ But he's skinny and bruises like a peach! ] Okay. [ He steps into the kitchen briefly, returning with a bottle of water. ] ...I meant what I said. If there's anything you want to know, I'll tell you. No more lies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ poor peachy profiler. enjoy showing off that shiner for a while. sorry not sorry. leia's sitting on the couch when he returns, holding the lone pillow that was on it in her lap like a young girl might protectively cradle a doll. she takes the bottle from him, but hesitates on opening. ] What if I ask you about those films?

[ there's so much she could ask, so much she wants to know. but she doesn't know where to start or if she even should. she's still pretty emotionally raw, and starting to feel the wear and tear from overexerting herself with the force in ways she's unaccustomed to. that may not be the best idea. leia knows her limitations and sometimes, she even heeds them.

sometimes. ]

How much— I mean to say, what does this franchise, as Elena called it, even cover? Me? My brother? [ her father??? ]

	You, your brother... [ That much she could probably figure out even if he didn't say anything. They've talked about Luke — he talked to Luke and that might've been one of the best days of his life. ] I know about your parents. Both of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ time comes screeching to a halt. leia hugs the pillow to her, hand tightening around the bottle.

both of them. not just her father, but her mother, too. a woman whose name leia doesn't even know. a woman who she didn't even have a clear image of until she came her and was provided with a photograph of the two of them that day the prison tried to force them to deal with their issues. leia doesn't know anything about her beyond what she remembers. and her memories don't provide her with much. ]

	I have a photograph. [ she's not looking at him. she's staring past him at the wall, at whatever he's written on the wall without reading it. ] It was one of the ones they gave us in attempt to make us deal with our feelings during those ridiculous therapy sessions.
