Day 372 | Closed Video to Jack | Open Action
[Video to Jack]

[She'd forgotten her umbrella when she walked out. Whatever. Martha certainly wasn't going to turn around and go get it. She should calm down before calling Jack. But she doesn't follow that line of reasoning either. The video of her is clearly one pissed off, wet Martha.]

Anything. You'd do anything to get him back. Bastard!

[Open Action]

After hanging up with Jack, Martha looked around. She hadn't been paying attention to where she was going, but found herself in Sector 0. Seemed she'd been walking laps. She hadn't felt this off balance in a while. She thought about going to yell at Spike too, though that honestly wouldn't make any of this better. No, perhaps she needed to go back to early in her time here when Oz had taught her meditation techniques.

The rain wasn't so helpful with this, so she made her way to the Tree Grove and found a tree with a decent overhang. It would keep her decently dry. Martha sat cross legged and closed her eyes. She forced her breathing to deepen, forced her mind to calm. The rain was had a more pleasant sound here. It added to the peace of the moment. In and out. In and out.

Likely it wasn't. Martha really was upset, and any sympathy was more than she was prepared for. She cries until she can't anymore and then just sits there a moment longer before pulling back and wiping her hand across her face. She leans back against the tree, turning her head up to the sky to wash away the rest of her tears.

"Sorry. Didn't mean to lose it like that..."

	Leia shakes her head, quietly dismissing the apology. "No, it's fine. You needed to let it out." She may be the pot calling the kettle black, but bottled up emotions don't do anyone any favors. She's happy that she was able to give Martha the opportunity to vent about her troubles and let some of that sadness out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Martha lays her head back on her knees again, facing Leia this time. "What would you do if you were in my position?" She's still so raw she hasn't actually thought about the ramifications of either fight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I would confront them," she answers honestly, adding, "but keep in mind that I confront people for a living. My method of handling people, both personally and professionally, doesn't always work for everyone. And I'm told I can be rather... abrasive. That I tend to, and I quote: 'Mow people over like a ship in hyperdrive.'" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Confronting's not as big a problem as you would think," Martha answers. "For a while, my entire job seemed to be confronting people. Person. Head of the division we worked for. He was an ass." She shakes her head. "It's harder though when it's your friends." (Reply to this) (Parent)
