Re: In-person: Cris/Sam
[He didn't say anything wrong. She's trying to follow his train of thought, yeah? To give back what he needs, and she knows she's not doing a good job, because he says he didn't mean to say something, but she doesn't actually get what he's apologizing for. But he focuses on Daniel eating people, and she kinda lifts her shoulders lazy.] I just meant things are weird, and nothing surprises me now, yeah? [And she does pick up on the thing about Daniel, yeah? It's why she said the thing about Daniel encouraging her to break Meredith's face, because it's about as useful as Daniel telling HIM that stupid 'good for you' thing.
She smiles a little when he says that thing about not telling the sheriff, but his smile is weak and small, and she shakes her head hard when he apologizes again.] You didn't say anything was worse than anything else. I was just talking. I'm not doing really good making things better. I just wanna let you cry and do whatever you need to feel better, but I don't know what that is. [She admits it mournful, and it's some kind of fucking failure, yeah? She loves him, and she should know him good enough to know what's gonna make him feel better, but she doesn't.] I been real selfish, yeah? And I'm trying to be better, and that's all. I just don't know how.
[She leaves Lou. It's not important, yeah? She needs to get better about prioritizing right. Maybe that's what he's getting at with his questions, and she doesn't mention the Lou thing again. She knows he's not gonna want Hunter there, and the best option she has is to go herself, and let Oliver work the store, but then they'd need a sitter during the day. It's a conversation for later, yeah?] You can shit talk all you want, yeah? Everything looks good on you. [She adds that a little sheepish, yeah? A little blush before curling against him.]
I'm ok. I swear, yeah? Just nightmare stuff. It happens a lot when I'm tired. I just want this to be about you, ok? Not about me. I'm fine. Nothing happened to me. You're hurt, and Meredith fucked with you. YOU come first. [Which isn't a lie, and she doesn't want him fixing on her or anything, yeah? That's the LAST thing she wants.] I'd try to help the other person. [Quick, like she needs to clarify fast.] I know I been selfish, and sometimes I haven't done that, but I WANT to do that, yeah? To make sure you're ok.
