*does his best to not look too uncomfortable*

...

Yeah, uh... hey?

	From: haladwen	Date: 07/30/2007 17:15:19

*sits down across the table from you* *really, really awkward smile* Hey.

So...um. Can you just...tell me what happened, then? You okay 'n' all? *glances down and reads 'intoxicated' in the report*

	From: handofsilver	Date: 07/30/2007 17:20:14

*still isn't sure if he wants to believe what Mablung said about you and his uncles* :s :\

Uh, yeah. He didn't hurt me or anything, heh. ;) :s [/pale attempt to laugh it off]

*lets out a breath* I was just leaving the b-- *clears his throat* --just on my way home, I ran into Maglor.

*tries not to think about what a great time she had at the gallery opening the other night*

Ah. Right. *nods* Family reunions are a bitch. And you were talking, and then it came to blows, and...? *really hopes that's the whole story*

	From: handofsilver	Date: 07/30/2007 17:55:02

And you were talking, and then it came to blows

*through closed mouth* Mmm-hmm.

:s :\

*decides to be as succinct as possible* *keeps his eyes on the middle of the table* I wasn't having a good day. I We started arguing with him, it got ugly.

	From: haladwen	Date: 07/30/2007 20:02:28

*sets her pen down and looks at you with a degree of concern that has nothing to do with police business*

*quietly* Do you wanna talk about it? I mean, I understand if you don't, but...

	From: handofsilver	Date: 07/30/2007 21:57:30

*really hadn't felt at all stupid until just now*

*doesn't know what to do with that* :S

Is that on or off the record?

	From: haladwen	Date: 07/30/2007 22:08:49

*shakes her head* 'm not working right now, 'kay? It's silly Mablung even sent you in for some little squabble like that. You can go if you want to.

I just... *turns slightly pink and mutters something largely unintelligible*

	From: handofsilver	Date: 07/30/2007 22:14:23

Yeah? He was pretty serious about my unc-- Maglor. Which was kind of the point.

*looks up* Hmm?

	From: haladwen	Date: 07/30/2007 22:26:49

*with obvious regret* That's a bit different though. We could only get away with not-arresting those guys for so long, you know?

*clears her throat* *quickly* Nothing. I mean, I like you, is all. It bugs me that this has got you so down in the dumps.

	From: handofsilver	Date: 07/30/2007 22:31:41

Yeah. I know. And they only think they can get away with it for so long, it's always like that.

*surprised to see you this quieted* :s .....Thanks.




I was going to call you. I wanted to. *sits forward in his seat* I don't know. I just got sidetracked.

	From: haladwen	Date: 07/30/2007 22:38:42

Well, maybe now the rest of them will piss off for a while, huh? *can't hide the fact that she doesn't entirely love that notion*

I don't know. I just got sidetracked.

*waves that off* *mostly easily enough* You don't have to... *smiles a little* ...I don't need you to justify your existence or anything. 's cool.

	From: handofsilver	Date: 07/30/2007 22:48:35

can't hide the fact that she doesn't entirely love that notion

*remembers what Mablung said again* :\ So I guess you'll have a lot of work on your hands.

*is feeling pretty well sober by this point*

No, it's not that... Not really a good week for family stuff. Or my identity.

*knee oscillates* There's a lot I like here like you, it's just... you ever get the feeling you want to be somewhere else? Like, anywhere else, like right now?

	From: haladwen	Date: 07/30/2007 22:52:39

I guess you'll have a lot of work on your hands.

*can't quite tell if this is a proper brush-off or not* I guess? I mean, I'm not a total workaholic or some shit like that.

you ever get the feeling you want to be somewhere else?

*really does smile this time* All the time. I kinda made a career out of it, the first go-around. But going doesn't mean you can't ever come back, either.

	From: handofsilver	Date: 07/31/2007 11:00:09

*half-smile* Yeah, that's probably true.

*wonders if there's any way they could re-do this whole conversation without the added bonus of the cop-detainee scenario* :s

*uncomfortable chuckle* It won't be as weird if they're not around... I think I missed the part where you're the one putting them away? *compartmentalization? what?*

	From: haladwen	Date: 07/31/2007 11:07:03

*has more or less forgotten she's at work, to be perfectly honest*

It won't be as weird if they're not around

*shrugs* Far as I know, the rest of 'em have scarpered for now, yeah. *looks faintly amused* But if you don't wanna imagine me locking them up, I c'n always make somebody else do the paperwork.

	From: handofsilver	Date: 07/31/2007 11:39:43

But if you don't wanna imagine me locking them up

That's my issue though... isn't it? Not yours. You shouldn't not do your job.

*rubs his face and pushes his hands over his hair*

Okay.

Um.

Any chance you'd want to do this over? Like maybe when you haven't just pulled me in on a drunk & disorderly?

	From: haladwen	Date: 07/31/2007 11:52:22

*bites her lip* Kidding, 'Brimbor. I was kidding.

Any chance you'd want to do this over? Like maybe when you haven't just pulled me in on a drunk & disorderly?

*blinks* Oh, right. Sure. *has the grace to look a little embarrassed* Just...you know. Give me a call or...whatever. *stands and walks over to open the door before anybody gets the wrong idea*

*completely forgot how nerve-wracking and awkward dating can be*

	From: handofsilver	Date: 07/31/2007 12:03:20

Ehehe ofcourseIknewthat. Just forget that bit about "issues", we're all good.

*stands and tries to look as casual as he can*

Yeah, you too?

*goes behind the door to take the handle* *brushes your fingers when he bumps past*

	From: haladwen	Date: 07/31/2007 12:09:15

*blushes like a schoolgirl*

*a touch too loudly* All right then. Thanks for coming by the station. Erm. Not that you had much of a choice in the matter or anything. *grin*

	From: handofsilver	Date: 07/31/2007 12:20:28

*clears his throat*

*at the same volume* Sorry ma'am, won't happen again.

*exits the station with as minimum a fuss as possible, e.g. avoiding the press mob who just sniffed out his uncle was in custody*

	From: haladwen	Date: 07/31/2007 12:30:13

avoiding the press mob

*notices this as well and reluctantly follows you out after a few minutes to give them the world's most helpful statement:*

No comment.
