(and i said what about breakfast at tiffany's)

[ioudas]

WHO: emotionally constipated man child ioudas and someone fed up with him gevruah
WHERE: Some breakfast place.
WHEN: LAST WEEK sometime
WARNINGS: Cross Marian
SUMMARY: cross, after a late night binge, has to learn to grow up.
FORMAT: quick!



(maybe it was best that he didn't meet kate to apologize about being drunk absolutely hungover. sadly for him, it was the only thing that seemed to help the dull ache on the side of his face, and actually forget what was happening back home.

unfortunately, leave the devil to his vices in an open city like this was bound to cause trouble. it was strange, now the idea that he couldn't just pick up and leave his problems behind wasn't possible, he had to actually face them.

which in turn made him want to drink even more. maybe hank was right and he had a problem, but hank hadn't experienced what he had and really, he could fuck off. unfair, but still, fuck off. kate was probably one of the last people in the city that he wanted to actually be around, one of the reasons why he wanted to fix this up so badly.

or, old dogs can't learn new tricks. coffee in one hand, idly eating something (promptly eaten by timcampy) he waited.)

Comments

[gevurah]

[ Kate was late.

She hadn't meant to show up this late, but it had been a long couple of weeks with Red Death and investigating the murders at the Iceberg Lounge. She walked through the entrance of the designated breakfast shop, sunglasses on and made her way to Cross' table, though she paused when she got to the table. ]

'Morning.

[ioudas]

(he had been in the middle of rubbing timcampy's belly with his finger, trying to figure out what he had eaten this time when she had walked in.

he'd get up to kiss her on the cheek, but he figured that he shouldn't push his luck.)

Good morning. And how are you today?

[gevurah]

[ She finally takes a seat, giving Timcampy a once over. As odd a creature/device he is, he's cute. She reaches a hand out to see if he'll approach her. ]

Tired, but fine. [ It's too early to feel much yet. At least most of her aggression had been exhausted for some hours thanks to some petty thieves the night before. ]

Anyway.

Here I am.

[ She'd rather cut the small talk. ]

[ioudas]

(as in on cue, he flutters over to her, opting to sit on the table in front of her if it means a belly rub.)

Hrgh- (an unceremonious groan.)

Like I told you, shouldn't have. (texted you in that state, but really I'm always in that state but I won't text you when I'm like that anymore. but, those are words for adults.) Texted you.

[gevurah]

But you did.

[ And there's no changing that now. She uses her index finger to rub Tim softly. He's like a cat, she thinks. ]

[ioudas]

I miss you.

(he finally says, shrugging his shoulders.) It's been an odd month.

[gevurah]

Sweet talking isn't going to work on me either. [ She leans back and crosses both her arms and legs. ]

[ioudas]

That's a first. (it really isn't, but with cross admitting that he's wrong is something that he often doesn't do.)

[gevurah]

It's good to know how you really think of me. [ Her hands are suddenly up in the air, indicating exasperation. ] I think this is a waste of time. I should go.

[ioudas]

(the fact that he apologized and is sober is an indicator enough. but, he really can't stop her from leaving if she needs to, it's her right. if she wants to leave, he isn't going to stop her or say anything.)

[gevurah]

[ She's surprised he doesn't say anything or move to stop her, but she's already up and gathering her things. If there's nothing to be said, she's not going to stay. Her temper and inability to let go of things makes her a difficult person at times. ]

Goodbye Cross.
