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.

[Very happy now that he's found Tsuna] This is a good place to catch a breather, isn't it?

[madamemoiselle]

Oh my~ Bad day?

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

It is, alright. It's a godamnned life saver.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

You could say that. [And he leans back forward, so he's looking at you now] Doesn't really cover it, but it's a start.

[madamemoiselle]

{Smiles pleasantly} Ne, then what happened?

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Tough day back home?

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[A nod] The last few hours in particular? That's where the real problem is.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Oh?

[A pause, and then he clasps his hands together and props his chin up on them]

Most of the day went well enough. But there's this big business meeting happening right now. Me and some of the managing staff are having a bit of an issue. We're all very passionate men when it comes to how stuff is done...and it's all becoming a bit hectic.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

Yah...Having a meeting right now. With some of the upper management guys. Regarding a few new practices that went into place.

Now, you got a bunch of people who are very passionate about their line of work with conflicting opinions, and tempers start to fly.

[madamemoiselle]

{Thoughtfully} Oh, how boring. Meetings of any kind, they're such a petty kind of thing. It's better to just be done with whatever it is.

... [shoves hands in pockets] You look like you need a break.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

That's what I think. Can't stand them.

But when I go back...I get the feeling words are gonna be awfully useless.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[Nods, and glances at you] Among other things.

[madamemoiselle]

Oh~ Violence then?

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

I've had a few meetings like that before. At least you can catch a break before jumping back into the fray.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Ikki plops down on the ground.]

At least up here, you get as long as you want.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[Intrigue] You have? [A half smile] Yah, I suppose. Though I've got a feeling that this is nothing, that the best is yet to come.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

You've got tempers flying, it's only a matter of time until fists and...even less friendly things join them.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[Leans forward, propping his elbows on his thighs and his chin on his hands]

True. But I know it's waiting for me. Can't stay away forever.

[madamemoiselle]

{Smiles} But that's how people are, isn't it?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Some things can't wait forever. You've got to face it like a man.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Smile] Yep. You have hot heads who think they know better than everyone else no matter where you go.

Ah, that makes a breather all the more vital, right?

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

You've got it. And as nice as this is, just kidding myself if I said it was an escape. There's never an escape.

[A chuckle]

Especially the ones that are constantly overdosing on their own bullshit ego.
