Re: Quicklog, Marvel: Cris / Elena
[Cris stayed inside the room after Elena left. He continued to talk to Teresa, even as her eyes began to close on the too-purple sheets. (The little girl had chosen how to decorate her room at home and it was in pinks and greens. Too girly, and she wouldn't like it, but maybe Elena wasn't aware.) He said something that made her laugh and give him a kiss. Only then did he say goodbye, one last kiss to her little hand when she waved sleepily.
He closed the door behind him almost silently. In Elena's living room, he put his hands in his pockets and looked at her, chin high. His voice was forced into levelness.] I'll be out of contact for a week. Her homework's in her bag. Make sure she does some of it before break's over. [He lifted his eyebrows.] And try not to stay out until 2AM, working. [Cris looked at his watch, and back up.]
