Re: Egyptian: Selina & Robert
[She shrugged her shoulder, the good one when he asked why she'd asked about changing the past. She wasn't drunk; she couldn't risk it here, but she was warmed through by the whiskey, her belly churning with it.] I was just thinking about it, that's all. The past, how it leads to the present. [The smile she gave him was wan, not quite the luster that was usually present in those mossy green eyes, and her lips not quite as lush.] I wasted a lot of time becoming something, just to go right back to where I started. [She motioned to the opulence around them.] Well, better than where I started, maybe. Some would say worse. It would depend on who you asked.
[Cryptic kitty cat, and her mossy gaze scanned that dry smile of his, so very different from the grin of his predecessor. Replacements, they were odd. Nearly the same, and yet not the same at all. He glanced down at her arm, and her green gaze followed.] He was much more interested in getting me naked, than he was in making sure the arm healed right. [Which was more truth than she'd expected to share, and hindsight? It was very 20/20.
But his little really drew her back to the moment, and she smiled at him.] Really.
