2nd Heart - A Moment's Rest

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[And here comes Jackie, popping into the Plane and, for a moment, looking rather flustered and perhaps even a little frustrated. In his right hand is a steel fold up chair, and his left hand is just idly twitching by it's own accord. He takes a few steps forward and opens the chair up with a snap, then promptly drops it in front of him. After staring at it for a moment, he sits down and leans forward, taking one long deep breath. Taking a few and holding it in, he leans back and tilts his head upwards, staring straight up and breathes out slowly.]

Better. Much better.

Something happen?

Outside of reckless ambition and flying tempers? Not yet.

[the Brigadier eyes Jackie carefully] Sounds like the stuff everyone has to deal with.

[A half smile] I suppose they do. Guess I just wanted a moment to myself before it got worse.

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

We all do.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

Lucky for us this place is around then. Least we get that comfort.

[the Brigadier shrugs] I prefer to ride things through.

[Pauses for a moment and stares at this man.] I prefer to go through them with as clear a mind as possible.

Not everyone can keep a clear head in situations - it's a perfectly common trait.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

No, they can't. Which leads me to believe that retaining a clear head can make certain outcomes less likely.

Hence, my moment in the Plane.
