[ He softens a little. ]

If I pick up anything, I'll let you know immediately.

It's probably nothing. I'm just paranoid.

[ Understandable after the most recent events, hopefully? ]
axiomed: (Feeling sorry is your favourite feeling)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-06 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ He nods. ]

Coming to a strange planet could do that to anyone.

[personal profile] reconstitution 2016-07-07 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Haven't felt like this on any of the other planets. Should go away eventually.

[ Charles looks away briefly. That's what it boils down to. The strange people with their mind-reading powers, their contact, their ability to see past words. He knows this is a common opinion among the Fleet and it dampens his enthusiasm a little.

He'll never get to embrace himself. Not here, not in his world, not anywhere. ]


I'm sure it will.

[ It's not even Charles that has the hair on the back of his neck raising. Not being at one hundred percent is one of his biggest issues. The vulnerability that follows. He trusts so few people to be near him, and the people that he will allow into his head is at a solid one.

The locals here are friendly and embracing, having no problem with touch, while the other planets, while welcoming, weren't as tactile. If the only thing Winter can have here is a bit of knowledge about them, then he'll take it.

There's no peace of mind here for him like there is for Charles. Perhaps he is reading too much into things, but if he can't be sure, then Winter at least wants to be alert. ]


[ Lightly, ] It's one of the best planets I've seen.

[ He shoots Winter a grateful smile, oddly vulnerable. ]

Truly?
reconstitution: (Default)

[personal profile] reconstitution 2016-07-08 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
It is. Not my favorite one, but only for selfish reasons.

[ The dusty moon will always be his favorite, he thinks. ]
axiomed: (For something lasting)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-08 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Selfish reasons are no different from normal ones, you know. We may try to justify it, but we can't help thinking selfishly at times. I can certainly admit that my fondness for this place is entirely selfish.

I have to admit, the beach is nice and the food is good.

[ Hello, change of direction. ]
axiomed: (My head and my heart)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-08 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ He chuckles. bemused. ]

I'll have to take your word for it. Sand and I do not get along anymore.
reconstitution: (Default)

[personal profile] reconstitution 2016-07-08 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
I could try taking a picture for you.

[ Try being the key word, but he'd try if Charles wanted to see. ]
axiomed: (No strings attached between you and me)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-08 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
I appreciate the thought, Winter, but I'll be fine. I'm not missing much.

[ He's not even sure how he'd feel, being on a beach again since Cuba. ]
reconstitution: (Default)

[personal profile] reconstitution 2016-07-08 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Alright.

[ He nods. ]
axiomed: (My head and my heart)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-08 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Do you have any plans while you're here?
reconstitution: (fucking hell)

[personal profile] reconstitution 2016-07-08 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think so, no.
axiomed: (No strings attached between you and me)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-08 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you should consider it. There's plenty to do here, with or without the locals. And there might not be another opportunity.

Even spend it with the people you care about.
reconstitution: (Default)

[personal profile] reconstitution 2016-07-08 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. I'll let them enjoy themselves a bit, first.

[ Because lord knows he's a downer. ]
axiomed: (I was on a downslide)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-08 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure they'd enjoy spending time with you as well. I certainly do.
reconstitution: (Default)

[personal profile] reconstitution 2016-07-08 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Most of them are still recovering.

[ So he's just.. going to let them do that before he steps in. ]
axiomed: (I'll go through it all with you)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-08 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
All the more reason to let them see a familiar face.
reconstitution: (Default)

[personal profile] reconstitution 2016-07-08 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Do you think so? Wouldn't you want space?
axiomed: (You mean nothing to me anymore)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-08 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
I can't speak for everyone but . . . [ He hesitates, rubbing his knees. ]

When I was injured, I kept wondering if the people I cared about, no matter what had taken place, would come through the door. And I think it can be reassuring to know that, no matter how bad it gets, people are always willing to come -- come back.
reconstitution: (Default)

[personal profile] reconstitution 2016-07-08 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
I guess I don't know a damn thing about coming back.

[ Is there even a right way to do it? Does a simple apology work, or does he have to earn it?

Wrath had been accepting of his company, even though he's damn sure he doesn't deserve her kindness. Fuck, he doesn't even deserve what Charles offers, either. ]
axiomed: (From the work of sorrow)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-08 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Do you want to, though?
