28 Howls:

If anyone's looking for me, I'm just going to be going away for a little bit. I'm fine, I just need, I just need to be away.



I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to work for you. Sorry.





He dumped me, Shal. After all this, he dumped me.

That would be me, yeah.

No, it's fine. I'll pull out some extra blankets for you.

I'll be there soon.

Don't go out of your way, I'm fine. There's brownies if you want any.

Okay, I'll see you soon.


[ooc: Action's good!]

Brownies? What's the occasion?

About 10 minutes.

[ooc; I'll start it when it's his turn next :)]

I cook brownies or cookies when I'm stressed. I can't eat, but making them helps.

Don't hurry on my account. I'm fine.

[ooc: Okay.]

Keys didn't really matter to Brennan Mulwray. He zapped the lock easily enough, it making a crisp, electric sizzle before he turned the knob and headed inside.

"Mercy?" Damn, it smelled good in there.

"Living room," Mercy said quietly. "Help yourself to the brownies."

The smell of ozone from whatever he'd just done made her nose sting and she couldn't help but rub at it.

At least she hadn't given in to tears yet.

The brownies sounded divine, but Brennan made his way to the living room first, pulling off his coat and tossing it down on the back of a chair before taking a seat in it. He looked like her parents just died. He knew the feeling.

His expression was sympathetic. "I know we just met and all but you want to talk about it?"

Re: Action;

[identity profile] coyote-walking.livejournal.com 2009-10-27 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Mercy shrugged, trying to look uncaring and failing miserably. "Nothing to tell. He cares too much about me to be with me. So he dumped me and doesn't ever want to see me again."

Brennan put a hand over his face, shaking his head. "What is wrong with people in this City?"

"I should have known better," Mercy said quietly. "I let myself get involved, let myself start to fall for him. I shouldn't have. It just felt so -"

She shook her head. "Doesn't matter. I just belong on my own, nothing beyond a friendship or two, nothing close like that. Made that decision a long time ago and I should have stuck to it."

Action;

[identity profile] theshockvalue.livejournal.com 2009-10-27 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
He sighed, compassionate, empathetic even. "Yeah, I feel ya. I know what it's like to give a lot of yourself to someone, only to realize they were able to just..." he trailed off for a second. "Yeah, I get it."

Re: Action;

[identity profile] coyote-walking.livejournal.com 2009-10-27 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
She shrugged again. "Yeah, well... Doesn't matter."

It did. It did so much, but if she said more she'd break down and she was working very hard not to do that.

"Anyway. Help yourself to the brownies."

Action;

He nodded and got up, heading to the kitchen.

"Just remember, the longer you keep it in, the more it's going to make everything around it rot."

"I don't have anything much here anyway," she said. "I want to be home so badly I can taste it."

"Hey," he said, coming back with a glass of milk and a rather good brownie. "That's not true. I bet there's plenty here."

Re: Action;

[identity profile] coyote-walking.livejournal.com 2009-10-27 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Nothing that's mine," she said softly. "A few friends, a job I'm utterly unsuited for, a place in my friend's house. Well... there's my cat. But she's at home too."

Action;

[identity profile] theshockvalue.livejournal.com 2009-10-27 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey, the friends are yours, the job's yours." He took a bite of the brownie and looked surprised. "And these are amazing. That's yours too."

Re: Action;

[identity profile] coyote-walking.livejournal.com 2009-10-27 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
"They're easy enough to make," she said, "but I'm glad you like them."

Action;

[identity profile] theshockvalue.livejournal.com 2009-10-27 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
He smiled. "I pretty much like things I can eat, but these are pretty good. I, uh...I never really had anyone who wanted to make brownies."

"I kind of clean and bake compulsively when I'm upset," she admitted. "That or work on whatever car project I've got going. But that's back home."

"You know, I didn't have to do housework until I moved in with Shal and the others." He chuckled. "...you do cars?"

Re: Action;

[identity profile] coyote-walking.livejournal.com 2009-10-27 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, I'm a mechanic by trade. Of course, cars aren't exactly common in the City," she said ruefully.

Action;

[identity profile] theshockvalue.livejournal.com 2009-10-27 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
He shrugged. "I've seen a couple. I've been thinking of taking that Jag for a spin."

Re: Action;

[identity profile] coyote-walking.livejournal.com 2009-10-27 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
"I have part of a VW Bug I'm working on," she admitted. "Just not enough work to pay the bills."

She wasn't even touching the Jag comment, sensing he was probably someone who'd just take any caution as a challenge.

"Nice. Need any help? I can do electrical work." He smirked.
