Tonight your ghost will ask my ghost, 'Who put these bodies between us?'

[Hei and Misaki are at the bar, because apparently that the Place To Be for disfunctional couples. But they aren't hanging all over each other, flirting, kissing, or talking about the kids. They are sitting as far apart as possible while still remaining in the same space. Misaki sits in a booth, flushed, staring into space. Hei is at the bar facing the opposite direction, drink in hand. Bandaged hand; he appears to have torn it up rather badly.


Reality sucks sometimes.]

[stares at her for a moment]

...Ray?

[personal profile] didorothy 2008-12-18 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[nods, 'cause that is definitely Ray]

Was he injured badly enough that I should be upset about it?

[personal profile] didorothy 2008-12-18 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
He probably deserved it, then.

[he ducks under the bar, grabs a can of diet coke, and pours it into a glass, shoving it into her hands]

Unlike certain police officers, I don't believe in biting the dog that bit you. Not that you're hungover, yet. But I would like to avoid having to find someone to treat you for liver poisoning.

[puts a hand on her back, more to briefly steady her than anything, but still, it was comfort too] I have no idea. I never get a straight answer when I ask, and usually they like to add another year to the infinite years of service I owe them.

[pulls his hand away quickly and drops it on the table, looking down]

[personal profile] didorothy 2008-12-18 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Tell me when you find it.

[darkly]

Not if I have anything to say about it.

[personal profile] didorothy 2008-12-18 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[drinks more]

Half the time, I have to explain to them why what they're doing is wrong, you know that? And God, I was trying to explain what 'privacy rights' were to this one customer of theirs, the one who keeps trying to do a Discovery Channel-style documentary on humans...

[runs his hand through his hair]

I really hate days when I'm not in the backroom.

[God - or alternately, the devil - is in the details, and Sam notices what she's doing, so he tries to tug her hand away from her poor wrist]

[personal profile] didorothy 2008-12-18 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Your wrist, Misaki.

[personal profile] didorothy 2008-12-18 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[pauses - he thinks of telling her to go home, but he wonders if that's very much the wrong thing to say]

You can stay at my flat tonight, if you like. I'm not letting you go anywhere from here on your own. As capable as you are, you're also drunk.

[personal profile] didorothy 2008-12-18 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I can, if you give me a rough idea how to get to your place.
