There isn't an Ace in a bar.

There, is, however, an Ace by the lake. She's found a nice sun-warmed rock to sit on, and is staring out over the lake.

...

Maybe someone should convince her to come in for dinner.

(Summary: Claire comes with a picnic dinner, in the hopes that Ace won't take off again. Eventually introductions are made, Seth is his usually uber-adorable self, and they trade 'my life up 'til now' stories. Evidently Ace has been pretty sparing with the details. Then they discuss Tim - Claire tries to paint him in a better light than Ace sees him, but Ace is terrified skeptical.
Raven comes out to talk to Ace. Ace apologizes for her snappishness the day before, and they introduce themselves. Somehow the conversation wanders through dealing with Fenric, how Raven reminds her of the Doctor somewhat, how she's really Ace, even if everyone wants the old one back, and pyroism. It's a wide-ranging conversation. And Raven is really neat.)

I am not alone in my ignorance, then. I give great thanks.

I wouldn't exactly call those suicidal tendencies. Life is pretty pointless without a little pushing of limits.

*If Raven didn't totally do the same things, he'd be in a position to say something else.*

"Pretty boring, you mean. Besdies. If you can't mouth off to people who are stronger than you, and are going to eat you for lunch anyway, what's the point?"

...

It's actually pretty miraculous Ace has survived so long.

Boring, pointless, not worth living. It's all the same thing, in the end.

The world needs people like us.

*He does not say 'as cannon fodder'. He doesn't even think it. Really*

[ooc: wrap, soon? It's getting late for me.]

"Bloody right." Ace agrees, firmly. The world would be a dull place without people like them.

(ooc: Sure think. *snugs* I love Raven so much.)

*He sits with her in companionable silence, until she goes inside*

[ooc: Thanks! Ace is very fun to talk to; oddly relaxing. We should do this again, sometime, yes?]

(ooc: Definitely! ... And Raven may be the only person who finds Ace relaxing. *snickers*)
