A Sphinx and an Irish Lass walk into a bar

"Very." she smiles faintly and leans over to give Sam a swift kiss.

A smile was on her lips as they parted from Nailah's.

"Now there's a convincing argument."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 4:50 pm

"More convincing ones would be inappropriate in public." she whispers with a smirk before leaning back again.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 4:57 pm

"Aye, but we've established I've no intention of letting you go, either."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 5:08 pm

"I don't think you could have made it any clearer." she smiles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 5:13 pm

"And I know I can seem... well, more than a little obsessive about the prospect of losing you."

"I just... I've never really wanted anything this much."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 5:23 pm

"And it's not going to go away. I may not be able to see, but I know this much."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 5:42 pm

"Even if you did need... time to yourself, I like to think I'd respect that."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 6:08 pm

"Sam I had a year. The last thing I want right now is space. I want to know that you're still right here with me."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 6:26 pm

"Without hesitation."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 6:32 pm

"Just promise me you'll stop treating me like my psyche is some fragile porcelain doll because when you do it feels like that's the truth and that only makes it worse."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 6:38 pm

"And you're stronger than that."

"Aye, that can be arranged."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 6:58 pm

"Thanks. And I'll let you know when something is too much. Because if I'm honest, losing those kids I... I just didn't want to deal with. Couldn't, I suppose."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 7:28 pm

"It wasn't any easier for me. It still isn't."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 7:36 pm

"I know. And I also know there's little I can say to make it better, but the least I could have done was not fight with you..." she sighs.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 7:47 pm

"I'm not... always easy to deal with myself."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 7:58 pm

"Doesn't excuse it. I know you too well to let that get in the way."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 9:14 am

"Just that you can be a bitch, and I can be one right back, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 9:29 am

"I think we've established that. And maybe that is going to cause some friction sometimes but I wouldn't have you any other way."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 9:32 am

"I'm not sure there are couples that never fight."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 9:36 am

"Probably, but who knows how long those last."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 9:56 am

"Release valve, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 9:59 am

"Yeah. Can't always run to the danger room." she smirks slightly.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 10:01 am

"A rather interesting exchange between cookware."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 10:06 am

"Who says I wasn't talking about me?" she chuckles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 10:12 am

"Has at least been useful for venting my... stranger appetites."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 10:18 am

"It seems natural, all things considered. Though I suppose it'd seem strange from the outside."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 11:13 am

"You seem to have taken it in stride, at least."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 11:23 am

"It does worry me a little. No... not worry... I just don't want you to get lost in it. I know you won't because you've dealt with that shift from there to here much better than I have. It's just something I wonder if I could still handle it. Maybe it was better you didn't let me today after all. It's still there. That ferocity and the promise of mental peace in something so simple. But I'm wondering if right now it'd still be pure. Maybe I'm just no there yet."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 11:26 am

"...don't be afraid to tell me if I've gone too far."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 11:40 am

"I'm not. I'm just afraid of going too far myself."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 11:52 am

"...aye."

"One of these days we'll finally be going in the same direction. Then, look out world."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 12:08 pm

"Obviously the universe is trying to keep that from happening." she laughs faintly.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 12:10 pm

"How it feels sometimes, aye? It's almost cruel."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 12:18 pm

"Nothing in life worth having comes easy."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 12:28 pm

"I didn't think you'd had enough to stray into greeting card territory," she smirked faintly.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 12:36 pm

"Happy are they that hear their detractions, and can put them to mending. Better?" she chuckles.

"Okay, maybe it really is. I'm blaming the scotch."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 12:43 pm

"It's alright. They can't all be profound."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 12:52 pm

"Still, it's true."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 12:53 pm

"Just hard not to feel a little guilty to be finding something that works when so much else isn't, aye?"
