[instinct, or maybe like - a want, a basal sort of want to have someone give a shit, means she hugs him very, very tightly, hiding her face. she's a little mortified. but akira's never given her reason to think he'd shove it in her face, so.
she's a very quiet crier, at least.]
I can't stand it if it's someone else I like that did it. [she says, voice wobbling.]
[gideon murders him on a friday night by squeezing his head off like a barbie doll (no)
she exhales a very shaky sigh.]
As much as we can. [she agrees. she feels all sorts of raw and shaky, but that's something to work for, and she can use that. she's not useless. she can do something, anything, to try and show... she doesn't know. fidelity. something.
the word echoes uncomfortably in her mind, and she shakes her head a little to try and get rid of it.]
[when he pulls away, she just rubs at her face - and then makes a vaguely annoyed sound and pulls a cloth out of her pocket to wipe away all the face paint. it's not doing her any good.]
I know she's faster than you'd think, and she knows how to use a knife. [gideon says, finally, and then:] I feel less like I'm going to explode.
[it's not very cool if it keeps getting fucked up by her tears!!
but anyway, she doesn't sit, just sighs and stares at the bookshelves again - until akira gives her that last part, and she snorts ungracefully and laughs.]
You've set up yourself as the feet guy, it's inevitable. [she says, fake-gravely.] Your fate is sealed.

He doesn't pull away so she doesn't have to worry about trying to hide her face right this moment. Since it's fine to cry.]
It sucks when you expect people to be better and they disappoint you. Let's try to find out everything we can tomorrow.

Wow, two snotty jocks.]
If you knew her at least a little, we’ll have an even better chance.
[Patting her shoulder.]
Feel any better?

That’s a good start. I don’t think Hunter knew how to fight really, but if she did, maybe we can tell who she fought.
[He reaches back to pull the chair up so he can sit backward in it.]
I’m not smelling any damn feet this time.
