[closed] I'm learning to give

[altusimperius]

WHO: Benedict and Kitty
WHAT: A conversation neither of them probably wants to have
WHEN: Mid-Drakonis
WHERE: the Gallows
NOTES: Discussion of slavery

Having spoken to one person, and then another, and been directed here and there to, at last, the one living person he least wants to see, Benedict approaches Kitty at her workspace with the slow, careful air of one encountering a wild animal, and lightly clears his throat.

He looks a bit of a mess: his expression is grim, eyes red-rimmed and tired, and in his hand he clutches a crumpled missive.

Comments

"You have a lot of stupid questions," he snaps, hearing himself as he says it and already regretting how churlish it sounds. Folding his arms, he sighs in a huff, rolling his eyes toward the door, where he'd very much like to be.

"Are we finished?"

[rathercommon]

"Sure," she sniffs, "if you're so intent on running away. We can be finished."

But, well - there's more going on here than her feud with this idiot. More at stake. So. "Come see me in three days."

[altusimperius]

"Three days," is the muttered assent, and Benedict turns to take his leave, despite Kitty's goading.
