Warren's in the bar.

Well technically he's on the stairs, but he will be in the bar soon.

...

Okay, now he's in the bar.

Warren pushes Andrew's hand back, gently.

"Andrew...don't. I'm sure she...wanted to be there with you."

That's just it. I don't know. I'll never know --

It was the first time.
We won't ever get that back.

Warren nods slowly.

"But...there can be other...times. Don't let this be what...ends it. You'll regret it."
stilljustandrew: (woe!)

*He takes a deep breath.*

It won't be. I don't think.

We're, uh. She's going to try and take me home with her. To Paris. For a visit.

I just, I ...

We're not okay yet. I mean -- with each other, we're sort of okay. But she's not.

And I'm not.
And I don't know when we will be.

"Hey. You will be. I don't really know her, but she seems really strong. And I know you are, so..."

[identity profile] notinthefett.livejournal.com 2004-12-10 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. C'mon. You are. You're totally, like, Clark Kent. And all underneath..."

Warren trails off with a shrug.

-- you're kidding, right?

I folded. I totally folded. Scorpy dropped a few threats and I knuckled under like a Jawa.

"There was no folding. You did the right thing. So that no one got hurt. Someone you cared about was in trouble and you saved her. You didn't give in to the villain's demands. You're the hero. And you have been. Like maybe some people tried to lead you down the wrong path and it got confusing, but you kept going and you found the right way. And now you're a better person. That's strong too. Indestructible. You're totally Superman.

...Or possibly the Energizer Bunny."
stilljustandrew: (woe!)

*Andrew stares. He hasn't been so caught off guard by a compliment since ... since his first week at Milliways.*

I --




...thanks.

*And he straightens suddenly, because there's Meg, coming down the stairs. Which means she's ready to go--*

Uh --

I'll see you when we get back, okay?

*He grabs Warren's hand in what should be a manly handshake, and misses it only by the tiniest fraction of cling.*

*And then he is off.
