Re: wayne manor: destiny/steph
[Stephanie laughs quietly, shaking her head a little.] Well, now I know the trick in case I wanna manipulate my future a little. [Clearly, she knows it's a lot more complicated than all that. Not the minute details, of course, but she understands that it's not so cut and dry. That he sees but doesn't necessarily decide. She's curious about the ins and outs, but she doesn't press. Pressing could be for another time, even if she suspects that he knows that she's intrigued. And, she totally appreciates him not popping up in her bedroom or shower.
Sighing, she takes a long sip of her coffee.] I know I do, but still. [A shrug.] I just want to feel better already. A quick fix, y'know? And duh, obviously it doesn't work that way, but for once I'd like a break. [Her mouth twitches into something sad, and her mind reels through how many times she'd said that in her life. How many times she'd wished that for someone else. Her hand rubs her arm before reaching to pinch the bridge of her nose. She mentally tells herself to stop. Just for a moment. A shake of her head, and she lowers her hand just in time to see his slight smile. It draws a tentative one out of her, one that grows a little as he answers her question.]
That doesn't sound cryptic at all, you know. [And she reaches forward to poke his arm. Steph has always been a physical sort of person.] More for me why?
