Where: Oquirrh's safehouse but really it's Florida's
When: Friday Night 8/14
Warnings: Possible Violence, Definitely Cursing


She really thought that breaking away was going to have no consequences. Well he was going to prove her wrong. He had been watching her all of yesterday and had a clear cut idea of where the little bird was staying at. A little old safehouse towards the outer edges of this crappy city.

This was going to be fun. He can sync up later with the team and the other primes.

Breaking into the apartment was relatively easy. Just a nice slip of his knife and maybe a moment or two with a decoder and he was in. Felix surveyed the place with a slight disdain. God Oquirrh can be one boring individual. There were a couple of her stupid knitted stuff laying about. Kicking the needles and yarn off the couch, he stretches out along its length. At least it was comfy.

He crossed his legs lightly and spins his knife in his hands. Now all he had to do was wait.

"Together?" she asks. "I miss us."

She misses having a team and being part of something.

"Gracias."

[spectre_de_la_mort]

"That's right. Together," Louisiana confirms. "Oquirrh, you have to realize that even though we aren't a team...we're still friends and all. Ok?"

[the_deadeye]

"We're not going anywhere. L's right in this one. Friends stick close during these kinds of things so why should we be any different? We do miss you around the base."

[oquirrh_at_the_wheel]

So they do miss her after all.

"Do you ever wish you could take something back?" she whispers. "That you could have stayed?"

That you hadn't acted without thinking and nearly lost the people closest to you? She does, now. While she cares about the For Hires, it's not the same. They maintain a professional distance, for the most part. Even Wash rarely discusses work with her, let alone her professional history.

She knows that she let her friends down, and despite their reassurances, she doesn't know what to do next.

[spectre_de_la_mort]

Louisiana reluctantly nods. "All the time. However you can't let it eat you up on the inside. That'll do more damage than whatever you did."

There were a lot of things that she regrets. She could go on and on about each individual incident and how she would've done it better. Yet this wasn't the time nor the place. Her friend was injured and lucky to be alive.

"Can we save the whole 'beating ourselves up over stupid mistakes' for later," Jersey asks, sighing. These two did not need to mull over every little flaw and mistake they've ever done. So he's cutting it off before it begins.

"When I'm on painkillers?" She grumbles. That would be even worse.

[spectre_de_la_mort]

Louisiana glances up at her partner. She did bring up a valid point. Confessing and worry over things wasn't the best thing to be doing on painkillers. It was right up there with remembering everything you didn't want to remember.

[the_deadeye]

"How about I extend that to never then? Is that more preferable? Just don't do it. Especially on meds.Alright?"

[oquirrh_at_the_wheel]

Oh Jersey.

"Then you can't tell remind me I'm an idiot for things I'm not supposed to regret." She teases him in a soft voice but can't help smiling. This is why she wanted him here. He makes such ridiculous demands, but he does have a point.

[spectre_de_la_mort]

"She has a fair point on that," Louisiana laughs softly. "Looks like you'll have to call her something else instead."

[the_deadeye]

"Don't tempt me. There's other things. Moron, imbecile, dumbass. I have a couple just in case someone tries to dodge idiot," he jokes.

It felt weird trying to joke right now. At least he wasn't yelling or trying to start fights. That had to be something.

[oquirrh_at_the_wheel]

"You have me there." She sighs--less dramatically than she usually would, because of her shoulder, but he'll understand the gesture. Of course she should have been more precise. She's a bit tired for that, though. Jersey will hopefully forgive her for that.
