*decides she's delayed telling Haldar about her new job for long enough*

*curls up on the living room couch with a magazine and waits for him to come home*

*braces herself for the congratulations and the inevitable entreaties that she actually keep the job*

Current Mood: anxious

*arrives home from work, throwing his keys in the approximate direction of the halltable*

*tramps into the kitchen to put on the kettle*

*watches your progress silently for a minute*

Hey. *long pause* Bad day?
From: [info]haldar Date: 07/16/2007 14:11:09  

*shortly* Busy day.

*comes to the doorway* Not out fighting crime, then?
From: [info]haladwen Date: 07/16/2007 14:14:10  

*feels her heart sink* I was gonna tell you. Like right now, pretty much.
From: [info]haldar Date: 07/16/2007 14:54:47  

*tries not to look too hurt by this omission* Well. Your pal told me. The Fëanorian.
From: [info]haladwen Date: 07/16/2007 14:59:15  

Caranthir was here? And I missed him? *obviously disappointed* Did he say whether he'd be around long?
From: [info]haldar Date: 07/16/2007 15:00:15  

He's probably out breaking the law within Delving City Limits even as we speak.
From: [info]haladwen Date: 07/16/2007 15:03:24  

*defensively* Don't be like that. He's my best friend.

I thought you'd be happy...?
From: [info]haldar Date: 07/16/2007 15:26:59  

I'm happy for you, of course I am. *runs his hands through his hair* I just don't understand why you didn't tell me sooner?
From: [info]haladwen Date: 07/16/2007 15:33:44  

*downcast* Because, Haldar, every time I get a job, you're all "can we try not to get fired this time?" and I really dig this job but it's a helluva lotta work and I just. Was afraid you'd pour on the pressure. I wasn't gonna hide it from you forever. Obviously.
From: [info]haldar Date: 07/16/2007 15:45:22  

*feels a little bit bad* *perhaps*

*hesitates* But this is the sort of thing you're good at, aren't you? It's not like the shop work or the waitressing jobs. This is big.
From: [info]haladwen Date: 07/16/2007 16:24:46  

*nods* Yeah. It's big. And I think I'm pretty okay at it.

*hesitantly* I'm sorry you had to find out from Caranthir, anyway. I guess you don't like him too much.
From: [info]haldar Date: 07/16/2007 16:31:26  

It's not that, exactly. It's just -- *mumbles* I'm not sure I trust him. You need to be careful around him, Haleth.
From: [info]haladwen Date: 07/16/2007 16:36:08  

*can't believe they're having this conversation again about someone she's not even dating*

*eyeroll* Other people might, maybe. *loyally* But he wouldn't fuck me over. Reputation isn't everything, you know.
From: [info]haldar Date: 07/16/2007 16:45:44  

It's not reputation I'm worried about. Reputation doesn't mean a thing. Look at me. Don't see me rushing off into trouble this time round and I -- I just don't want you to decide you need to do the same thing. Have to keep you safe, y'know? You're the only twin I've got.
From: [info]haladwen Date: 07/16/2007 16:50:00  

*gets up and walks over to you*

Don't worry so much about anything, baby brother. *hugging you tightly* And don't get all sappy on me now.

*grinning* If he causes any shit on my turf I promise I'll lock 'im up quick as you like. As it is I've gotta officially tell 'im to leave anytime I see the bastard.
From: [info]haldar Date: 07/16/2007 16:51:56  

*can't help grinning either* *relaxes a little as he hugs back fiercely* You've still got to be careful, OK? Nobody likes a cop and all.
From: [info]haladwen Date: 07/16/2007 16:56:11  

*steps back from you*

*holds up three fingers of one hand* I promise to be careful and never take bribes and not to help old ladies across the street if they're packin' heat and suspected of mass murder. Marchwarden's honor.
From: [info]haldar Date: 07/16/2007 17:11:00  

*manages a chuckle* Oh, you'll make me proud, won't you?
From: [info]haladwen Date: 07/16/2007 17:13:11  

*sticks her tongue out at you* Not if it means being as responsible as you.
From: [info]haldar Date: 07/16/2007 17:34:27  

One of me is quite enough, thank you very much.
From: [info]haladwen Date: 07/16/2007 17:40:00  

*very seriously* No arguments here.
