	[ He didn't expect the hand holding, but appreciates it. She can't punch him in the face as easily if he's holding her hand. ] I know. [ He does know. He's lived that, bad feelings you can't attribute to a person because you know it isn't fair and not their fault. Emily is a good example. ] I never mean to upset you.

	I know. [She squeezes his hand. No part of her wants to punch him.] It's never what I want either. [All those fights they've had. She didn't want that. She definitely contributed, but she hated it.] I want [Okay her voice is trying to break up a little. Come on.] you to be happy. You know that, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-29 03:14 pm UTC (link)
	I know. [ Who are you, Han Solo? ] I want you to be happy too. ...I'm sorry that it got so messed up. [ No one's fault. It was just a thing that happened and they both contributed to the mess but it wasn't anyone's fault. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Me too. There are so many things I wish I'd done differently. [She had so much time to think about what went wrong. As much as she tried to drown herself in work and being with people. There's always more time. You know, the part where you're supposed to be sleeping in cold, empty, lonely beds.]

But you can't live in the past, right? [At a certain point reviewing what happened just keeps new things from happening.]

No, you can't. [ In so many ways. Emily, Maeve... this. You can't hold on to it forever. You have to let go and make room for new things and maybe he's not in a place yet where he feel like he can get involved romantically but he does want new things. That's what Leia was, a harmless new thing until it wasn't so harmless. ]

...I'm so happy that we're talking again. I missed this.

I did too. A lot. [She made so many good friends and deepened other relationships, but nothing could replace or completely fill what this left open. Which probably speaks to how significant it was but also how unwilling she was to let go.]

I want to be in your life. I want you in mine. If it gets to be too much again, tell me? I'll do a better job of listening. [Because getting kicked out completely was...not a good time for her.]

	thisiscalm 2016-01-29 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	I will. I want that too. Let's just... take it slow? I can't make any promises. [ Aside from friendship, that he can promise especially if things continue the way they have these last few days. ] But I think it's... okay. This is good. [ Doesn't feel like he needs to limit his exposure as long as they play it safe. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-29 10:09 pm UTC (link)
	Even if you could there's still this place and it's games. I wouldn't know what to do with certainty anyway. [There's a fond smile and then a thoughtful look.] I didn't actually get to the part where I apologize for Tyki, did I? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-29 10:14 pm UTC (link)
	[ They haven't been on this good terms since before he disappeared, have they? Wow. So this is how it feels. ] No, I guess you didn't. Why are you apologizing for him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-29 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	Well, not on his behalf. His stuff is on him. It... [She takes a breath, looking up, trying to gather her thoughts.] makes me sick when I think about having been with him. Ever since Ianto. I've seen so much death, but that... [She looks at him.] It's the kind of thing you see every day at home, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ He nods. Didn't even have to see the crime scene to know that it probably looked a lot like any other crime scene and knowing Tyki makes it really easy to fill in the blanks. ]

It doesn't get easier... and I've spoken to enough spouses of serial killers to know that hardly anyone believes it's nearly as bad as it really is. Don't beat yourself up too much about it.

[She appreciates the understanding he's showing here. Especially because she knows it was hard on him. Jealousy and fear for her safety and frustration.] I just wish...and I guess this the "I'm sorry part" that I'd just listened to you more about him. Stayed away from him more when I should have known better.

I know I don't always show it. ...I haven't always felt it, but I really do think you're one of the strongest people I have ever known. [She can't imagine looking at scenes like that ever again let alone regularly.]

	[ Hey, he can be a pretty cool guy when he's in a good place. ] I understand why you did it. I mean, I never liked it but... I get it. [ He can't be too judgey, he spent way too much time with Piter back in the day. ] Thank you. I think I needed to hear this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[There'd been so much anger for awhile. She forgot how good this feels when they can talk about things and find middle ground because they were ready to. Ready to trust and empathize. And when she isn't overthinking everything looking for things to be insecure about.]

Thank you for listening and understanding. I'm glad we're talking so you could hear it.

Is it too soon for another hug? [Because it feels like a good time for one after putting all that out there.]

	[ Look at him not even giving her a verbal response, just a warm smile before he leans in to hug her close. There's been way too little hugging lately and that's coming off so much hugging. They don't make hug patches. It's a tough detox. ] This is a rare, good day, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-30 12:18 am UTC (link)
	[She completely agrees and hugs him back just as warmly.] Maybe it doesn't have to be so rare. [But she knows there are a lot of outside forces at play too and it is rare that they'll be in alignment with them.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-30 12:20 am UTC (link)
	Let's hope for that. [ He kind of doesn't want to let go, now. As if something terrible will happen the moment he does so. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She's less afraid of that right now than she has been. There's been a lot of fear in the past couple of months for a girl who had been fearless for so long. Still, she is happy to hold on as long as he wants. She rests her head on his shoulder almost like they're just slow dancing instead of hugging.]

I'm going to the superhero party tomorrow. This is a very strange place.

	[ They have some catching up to do. He doesn't mind prolonged hugging and might even bring a hand up to stroke her hair. Wow, that's a blast from the past.] Am I right in guessing you'll be going as yourself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Wow, the hair. Her eyes close and that...that feels so good. Like feeling so completely safe and cared for with just a simple touch. She missed that feeling.]

Funny you should ask. I told Carl I probably wouldn't dress up and then he told me I'd be going as myself. It sounded really profound at the time. It's not weird if I get my wisdom from pre-teens, right? [He may be a young teen. She hasn't asked or counted his rings or anything.]

	thisiscalm 2016-01-30 08:33 am UTC (link)
	Pre-teens are smarter than you'd think. [ But don't slice him up to check his age, please. ] You could always wear your uniform. That's pretty superhero-y. [ And blue and tight and shiny. Good lord. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[And low cut.] I was kind of planning on it. In the interest of being in the party spirit I guess. Think you'll go? [Maybe she should be more worried about how he'd take that question. Whether or not he'd feel like she was asking him on a date instead of just asking to see him around again very soon. And encouraging him to get out and about even if it did end in a kiss with someone else last time. But she just doesn't have it in her to be doubting and second guessing herself when he has her so relaxed. Her weakness is revealed!]

[ He's in too good a mood to overanalyze this. They're in a good, friendly place and he'd like to stay in that good, friendly place for awhile. Hanging out at a party sounds exactly right, especially with how often they did that before they got together. He would've gone to zero parties if it weren't for her and Rebecca. ]

I don't know... spandex isn't really my thing.

	[She lifts a hand to return the favor—fingers gently running through his hair. It's been a long time since she touched him like this.] You usually do your superheroing in a vest and mismatched socks. If it was good enough for Henry, it should work for this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-30 11:38 am UTC (link)
	Good point. [ There's a small part of him that's itching for a kiss right now, for old times sake, but considering the disaster with Leia he strongly decides against it. Let's not mess up what was just cleaned. ] I guess I could stop by, in that case. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
