<sub>[SO YEAH, UH. IT'S BEEN. A FEW DAYS. SINCE... YOU KNOW.]

[Since the whole thing on the weekend that they all remember now.]

[In those few days, Heather has been holed up in her hotel room like a dysfunctional pop star hiding from the paparazzi. What's she been doing in there? GOD ONLY KNOWS. Actually, the people IN that hotel room know and it's mostly being quiet and sleeping a lot, but there you go.]

[BUT LO AND BEHOLD: a text!]

[A text with a request.]</sub>

You've thoroughly rid me of the desire to talk, I promise you.

[She's probably called him worse and more ridiculous things than 'fucko', and he's taken far more damning insults before without caring, but every word from her was like pounding his head against a wall. It was stupid and futile and he just kept doing it.]

Since you're apparently incapable of anything resembling casual conversation without becoming utterly unreasonable, I'll leave you to yourself. Good day.

[Text was notoriously bad at indicating tone, but if it had been spoken, that 'good day' would've sounded a lot more like 'fuck you'.]

<sub>[Yeah, it doesn't need to be heard to sound like 'fuck you'. That comes across pretty clear.]

[Of course, Heather isn't really the sort to dress her intentions up in fancy words, so she just types back:]</sub>

fuck you

Both of you, knock it off.

James, stop being an insufferable jerk and speak plainly for once in your life. And before you start to bite my head off, no I'm not going to call you Liquid.

Heather, don't provoke him because believe me, that's a losing battle no matter how you do it.

Relax. The two of you could probably shout at each other until the sun burns out, and considering you're the sensible one here I'm asking you to stop poking the angry snake.

[foolishwren]

HE poked ME

_{[A year ago, she'd probably have listened to Otacon's advice. But after the distance, and the time... and the fact that she's not exactly fit to receive a clean bill of emotional health right now...]}

He does that. Be the bigger man, metaphorically speaking.

How am I at fault for the fact that she acts like a petulant child!
