I13DT - After the Fire

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed May 14, 2014 5:47 pm

After what had proven to be yet another frustrating day, Samantha returns to the apartment. Shutting the door soundly, she slumps against it.

Nailah's already there, sitting on the couch with a half-empty glass of wine in front of her. It doesn't look like it's her first.

"...well, now I rather suspect I'd feel guilty talking about my day."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 14, 2014 6:45 pm

"Try me." she says, clearly not stalling on talking about her day at all.

"I had to have a spirited discussion with the Phoenix on self-determination and self-identification."

"It started with the point of contention that I will not allow her to turn my students into baked goods without their consent."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 14, 2014 6:50 pm

"Well, that explains why she was talking about messing up and wondering if she should leave when she came to talk to me..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed May 14, 2014 6:53 pm

She facepalms.

"I tried to smooth that over by the end, but I wasn't very pleased with her when I started."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 14, 2014 7:03 pm

"I... think she's okay now? She was being a little strange just before she poofed."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed May 14, 2014 7:07 pm

"Did that to you too, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 14, 2014 7:09 pm

"I think she just likes being dramatic."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed May 14, 2014 7:11 pm

"Why walk, when you can burst into flames?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 14, 2014 7:12 pm

"Right... Well that's one part of her I understand at least."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed May 14, 2014 7:13 pm

"Small favors, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 14, 2014 7:16 pm

"Right... So, you remember the other day when I got jealous of Allison and that was incredibly dumb and stupid?" she suddenly seems to change the topic.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed May 14, 2014 7:18 pm

"You mean the bit where I almost cost the university its new lawyer."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 14, 2014 7:22 pm

"Right. So, Mira might have tried to kiss me. And by 'tried' I mean 'succeeded' because I did not see that coming..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed May 14, 2014 7:23 pm

"That's... odd."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 14, 2014 7:27 pm

"She asked me if I wanted a difficult to interpret message."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed May 14, 2014 7:29 pm

"How profoundly unhelpful of her."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 14, 2014 7:33 pm

"That's an understatement."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed May 14, 2014 7:36 pm

"I'm starting to suspect that having my soul shown to me as part of her argument that Will is an object may have been the better deal."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 14, 2014 7:37 pm

"I--wait what?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed May 14, 2014 7:39 pm

"She felt the need to explain some bizarre theory on tiers of being."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 14, 2014 7:42 pm

"Yeah, she definitely lose her sense of scale."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed May 14, 2014 7:47 pm

"That was before she decided it was fine to discuss my private life in front of students."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 14, 2014 7:50 pm

"That explains why she wanted me to tell you to be a little less uptight. I'm... technically supposed to pass that kiss along too..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed May 14, 2014 8:00 pm

"I just didn't see it as all that appropriate when I was trying to assure Sara that the school respects and values her husband's contributions."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 14, 2014 8:03 pm

"I'm sure she already knew that."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed May 14, 2014 8:06 pm

"Then we could have just not and said we did," she sighs, heading over to slump onto the couch.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 14, 2014 8:09 pm

"No I think Sara did. Mira's... not on particularly good terms with 'appropriate' right now."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed May 14, 2014 8:09 pm

"A strong contender for understatement of the year."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 14, 2014 8:12 pm

"You don't have to tell me."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed May 14, 2014 8:16 pm

"Ah well. Life goes on."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 14, 2014 8:22 pm

"You're not even a little mad about this?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed May 14, 2014 8:23 pm

"It drove me up a wall, love. I'm spent. I've bigger fish to fry."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 14, 2014 8:25 pm

"I suppose that makes sense..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed May 14, 2014 8:27 pm

"I mean, what am I supposed to do here? What particular brick wall haven't I bashed my head against yet today?"

"Altamira kissed you, and told you it was for me. What is that even supposed to bloody mean?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 14, 2014 8:28 pm

"How the hell should I know?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed May 14, 2014 8:29 pm

"Exactly!"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed May 14, 2014 8:36 pm

"I'm sorry, I should have just kept it to myself."
