[Rhade has his flexi set up on his desk, so you get a foreshortened view of a well-kept young (he's not as young as he looks) man with his feet propped up near the camera wearing an earnest face and a stern tone. He's turning over a breathing apparatus in his hands, and wearing what looks to be black leather over more black leather and turtleneck underneath.

Also, there are some sharp bones coming out of his forearms. The sleeves of the high collar coat and the shirt beneath apparently are tailored to accommodate them.]

I don't know whether I've chosen to return at a good time or a poor one. The Great Philosopher once said, "Nothing on Earth consumes a man more quickly than the passion of resentment. Mortification, morbid susceptibility, the inability to strike with vengeance, the desire and thirst for retribution, the concoction of every sort of poison- this is surely the most injurious manner of reacting which could be conceived by exhausted men."

I'll have to remember to not let this place get the better of my health while I'm here, because I've been no place that breeds more resentment.

[He tosses the breathing device aside, and leans forward to fold his hands together.]

To those that haven't met me, I'm Gaheris Rhade of the Majorum Pride. For those that care to see me... [Okay, there's his cheeky grin.] ...send me a message and I'll expect to see you soon.

[She grabs both his hands as soon as she walks in, her shoulders shaking with everything she's holding back.] Never thought I'd see you here again.

You can hug him, you know. He doesn't break easily.

[That's Amanda chiming in from one corner of the room. She's unarmed herself--her handgun and all of her little hidden weapons have been set aside for greater comfort.]

Trust me. I tackled him earlier.

[Not that he doesn't find swords his favorite decoration or anything.] Too late. I'm taking the initiative. [He uses Lua's hands to pull her closer and into a loose hug.]

[She squeaks, but doesn't push away.] Don't have to catch him, he's not leaving right yet.

Re: [spam]
'Cause he knows that if he tries, I'll just tackle him again.

[When he's done, he steps back again and goes over to his couch to sit.] It was nice being away from the ship, but I did miss your company.

[She's still excited, but calms herself down enough to sit down and stay still.]

I couldn't believe you'd come back, not with your baby and everything. [She heard and saw.]

Re: [spam]
Yeah, I'm still wondering pretty much the same thing.

I found something I could ask for. In the long run, it'll be for her. And if I decide that I'm tired of it, there won't be any desperate mulling over whether or not I should return.

[He rubs his hand with the scar on it.] I do admit, knowing that I have a child to return to is a very good feeling. It... makes it feel more like being in the military again, than imprisoned without a future.

Like you've got something to work for instead of just what you're doing, right? [She wants to know what it is, but has the sense it's part of something she isn't going to get.]

She's a lucky girl.

I'd like to think I keep her fortune optimal. [He doesn't mind sharing this little tidbit of plot, though his real reasons for being here are more based on the comfort of her designer rather than the subject of his deal.]

Re: [spam]
Thank you for the compliment. [He still wishes he could redo what happened before- that he could have told the Nietzschean alliance to go fuck itself and he would have spent time with his other children. So he's not entirely sure of what she says. But her confidence in him alone is bolstering.]

If either of you need any help....

Re: [spam]
[Her glance darts to Amanda to see if her answer is something other than what she says.] I can tell you if I do later, right?
Amanda Young: afraid of the dark[personal profile] creatingalegacy on June 14th, 2012 03:01 am (UTC)
Re: [spam]
[Amanda sort of shuffles her hands around before answering very awkwardly:]

All the help I need is just having you here as a friend.

[She's not sure how to verbalize these particular feels. How do friends work.]

That's a fairly simple requirement. [He relaxes, stretching his arms along the back of the couch.]

What are you planning on doing, when you're done? [Because there's always the chance he might end up staying longer than them.]

Re: [spam]
I'm not sure. I've been thinking of going to school for engineering, but...

[She gives a shrug.]

Re: [spam]
Depends how long I decide to stay. [Again, a look shot at Amanda and a little cut of her chin, asking her not to talk about what she's planning, what her deal might be.] Plans changed back home, so I need to think about it.
