Romana, tell these faceless Doctor beasts to let me go back to my room.

By the by, it's three in the afternoon. Do you know where your Inmate is?

Action!

Right. [He's not so lucky; there's no last stroke for him to come awake for] It seems to be going around. I hope yours isn't too bad.

Action!

Being shot is not so bad as what I've experienced already, sparrow. [He smiles]

Action!

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Shot? Ah. I suppose it... [He shrugs] I wouldn't know, I suppose.

Action!

You've been dreaming too. [watches him evenly]

Action!

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods, then looks away] Everybody has. I assume it'll pass.

Action!

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Well, I presume everybody's is.

Action!

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, but you only have that look when you're thinking about something that truly troubles you. If you thought everyone had it so badly you would not be reacting this way.

Action!

My death scenario is particularly bad because it involves... additional violations, I suppose.

[He shrugs] But nevermind that.

Action!

[Really this is all that need be said; it's not like the Marquis is a stranger to these sorts of things] Aaah, I see. Not your cup of tea, I imagine.

Action!

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[He takes a while to answer] No. Do you know, ah, whose you have?

Action!

[He appears to deflate a little] It sounds like the Master.

Action!

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[He notices the Marquis deflate a little, and he gets a testy sort of look on his face, then looks off to the side, idly staring at the table beside the Marquis's bed.] Should be a good one, then.

Action!

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Not at all. It doesn't have any of his usual pluck, so I think it only sounds of him. It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't end so suddenly. Unsettles my stomach.

Action!

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
It could be that Warden, then. The one who... isn't him. [He shrugs, then speaks half-heartedly] Sorry. Sounds... [Not as bad as his own] Worrisome.

Action!

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
They are only dreams, sparrow. [He glances at him.] Don't let them affect you so.

Action!

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
They aren't only dreams. It's as though I can feel it. I've never been in [He hesitates] that position before.

Action!

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[he's obviously not going out of his way to empathize] I've found that I sleep much heavier if I've had a lot to do in the day.

Action!

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[West catches that, so he decides to get catty] Then I'm sure you slept quite heavily last night. Myself, I've already tried that route and it didn't work, so Billy and I are getting coffee tonight.

Action!

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2008-10-07 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[He sighs and looks down at the open book on the table, scribbles something.] You're angry.

Action!

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2008-10-07 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
You only tend to bring up your friend when you're feeling like taking a jab, my cherub.

Action!

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2008-10-07 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, he had a point. West leans back in his chair and frowns] If I wanted to take a jab, I'd tell you that the reason I was out of my room when you and my visitor exchanged blows was because I was elsewhere with him.

Action!

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2008-10-07 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Which you have just done, so thank you for proving my point. [He turns a page, scribbles something else, then glances up at him.] I'm not a fool, Henri. [He frowns, looking down at his hand.] I know you come to me because I say 'yes'; with limited means and a lack of want for revealing your predispositions to others, every law of survival agreed with you. I know how old I am, and what years have done to me physically. It's only natural you would tend toward someone closer to your own age once keeping your secrets became less important to you.

Action!

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2008-10-07 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Well. Now he feels bad for his spiteful behavior] That's not it. He really is just a friend. [He looks at the Marquis and his expression softens] And I don't know why you say that. You're not that old and you're not bad off. And it's not as though I'm the most brilliant catch, either.
