Dossier Seventeen

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[She's in the swimming pool, fully clothed (except for her sweater, shoes and socks, which are sitting by the side of the pool) and floating on her back. There's a look of confusion on her face; she starts to sink, flounders for a moment, and then makes it to the edge, grabbing on to pull herself out. It takes a couple of attempts, weighed down as she is by soaked clothes.

When she finally pulls herself our, she flops onto her back on the plane, one wrist laying gently over her eyes.]

Because they'll hurt you.

Pain isn't a problem.

...do you really think he'd want you getting hurt in the off chance you'll be aloud to stay with him?

I would do anything for Signore Jose. [She looks down.] If he didn't want me to do it, that means he doesn't want me with him any more.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

That's not true. If he wanted you with him I'm sure he wouldn't like the idea of you being hurt.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

You don't understand.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

What don't I understand?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

How it works.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...I understand how it feels.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

But not how it works, Signore.
