There's some fumbling with the door and Tereza lets herself into the room. In one hand is a tiny Will and her clothes are in the other. She's shifted and it would be easy to sense the lingering pain of some bumps and bruises that have almost completely healed.

Posted: **Tue Mar 27, 2018 7:01 pm**

Sam looks up from her reading, blinking in confusion.

"Is... everything alright?"

Posted: **Tue Mar 27, 2018 7:05 pm**

Tereza sets tiny Will down on Sam's desk in front of her. "Ask him," she growls, although everything she says in this form is a growl.

Posted: **Tue Mar 27, 2018 7:18 pm**

Will very carefully looked...well, pretty much anywhere but up at Sam, becoming very interested in the pile of the carpet and the various bric-a-brac that lay around the room.

Posted: **Tue Mar 27, 2018 7:22 pm**

"...okay Will, why did Tereza just drag you here? Did you two get in a fight?"

Posted: **Tue Mar 27, 2018 7:43 pm**

"I'm fairly certain a fight takes more than one involved," Will said, carefully. "I see you're healing up nicely..."

Posted: **Tue Mar 27, 2018 8:01 pm**

"Hiding. In mop closet," Tereza interrupts, crossing her arms. "Has things to tell you."

Posted: **Tue Mar 27, 2018 8:04 pm**

"I'm fine, Will. They just wanted to observe me overnight."

"And if you've something to say, perhaps you should."

Posted: **Tue Mar 27, 2018 8:27 pm**

"I don't, particularly, other than a sincere apology for my actions in the Danger Room, and a promise that they won't happen again..." he dodged.

Posted: **Tue Mar 27, 2018 9:32 pm**

Tereza snorts, "More than that. You don't say, I will."

Posted: **Tue Mar 27, 2018 9:34 pm**

"...what's there even to apologize for?"

Posted: **Tue Mar 27, 2018 9:38 pm**

"My...behavior in the simulation. My attempts to...my attempts to stop you from realizing the truth. My cooperating with Conduit."

Posted: **Tue Mar 27, 2018 10:06 pm**

"What are you talking about? You wanted to take down Conduit as much as any of us."

Posted: **Tue Mar 27, 2018 11:22 pm**

"Long story from earlier. About his world." Raising eyebrows when you really don't have them doesn't quite have the same effect.

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 12:08 am**

"Very long story, but I'll cut to the point.

I failed. I failed you and I failed me and I failed everyone. Is that enough, Tereza?" he asked, glancing/glaring up at her.

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 12:17 am**

"Who is it you think you have to please, here?"

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 12:42 am**

"The list is extensive, but the underlying answer is myself. I did not live up to my own standards."

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 12:46 am**

"No one does," Tereza grumbles. "Missing why part of story."

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 12:53 am**

"They why? Right, the why.

Because I'm a selfish fucking bastard who makes a poor excuse for a human being, who would try to hog you for myself hurting both you and Tereza in the process," he spat out, glaring at Tereza and pointedly not looking at Sam.

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 12:55 am**

"Will, none of us were in our right minds at first. She made you think you were married to me."

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 1:02 am**

"Yeah, and wouldn't that be a crazy thing."

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 1:10 am**

Tereza snorts. There's way more to his story and he's being a self-martyring ass and leaving out a lot. "Not that crazy."

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 1:15 am**

"You know, just because I'm legitimately psychic doesn't mean I don't want to talk things out when something's wrong."

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 1:22 am**

"Not every problem can be solved by talk. Many need to be solved by action."

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 1:30 am**

Tereza takes a step towards him and catches herself. She settles for glaring at him. "Tell. Her. Told. Me."

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 1:31 am**

"After you got me drunk," Will said, leaving out the fact that he was well on his way there before Tereza arrived at the bar.

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 1:38 am**

"What do you want, really? Do you want me to be cross with you? Nobody fought harder than you when it came down to it."

"You two normally seem to get along fine."

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 1:50 am**

He's doing this clam-act in some twisted form of penance. He thinks I should be mad at him for trying to be happy with you. He knew something was wrong, but he wanted to be happy. I'm not mad about that. Hell, I can't say I wouldn't do the same. He's in love with you and thinks he needs to deny himself because I got there first. I told him it was okay and we could all talk about it, but apparently he's decided to keep hanging on that cross. That's what I'm mad about. Forming that much coherent thought, as upset as the wolf was, apparently took its toll on Tereza and she snapped her jaws in frustration.

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 3:08 am**

"I want to leave now, if you do not mind..."

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 3:38 am**

"...I can't make you talk, Will."

"Even if I was at my best right now, I wouldn't."

"Just... when you're ready, can you trust me? Don't try to make the decision for me as to how I should feel. I think we ought to both be past that."

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 3:39 am**

"I'm afraid this one is mostly about me and those of us not present in this room, but I'll keep that in mind..." he said, hopping down from the desk with an eye on Tereza, to see if she would make a move to stop him.

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 3:57 am**

Tereza glowers at him, but makes a dismissive gesture. Sam seems to have temporarily dismissed the matter so she's not inclined to force the issue... for now. She mutters something that gets lost in the growling, but it's obvious she's angry.

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 4:00 am**

And, so, Will trudged out of the room. You didn't have to be a telepath to see the dark storm clouds over his head, but it probably helped!

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 4:02 am**

"I'm sorry," she says to Tereza.

"I just... he seemed like he was backed against a wall."

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 4:19 am**

Tereza shrugs, frustration rolling off her. Nothing to be done about it now. Can't make him be good to himself as much as I'd like to. Should have slammed him into the bar like he wanted me to.

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 4:49 am**

"Makes you wish winning actually felt like winning, aye?"

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 5:04 am**

Yeah. At least we’ve got dinner with Vivienne to look forward to.

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 5:12 am**

"I think she might be a bit scandalized if you show up without your clothes on."

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 5:15 am**

Tereza cracks her neck and then there’s more cracking sounds as she shifts back. “I think showing up as a wolf would be more problematic than lack of clothes.” She winces a bit once the shift is done.

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2018 5:25 am**

"I'm not saying there wouldn't be questions, but the fairy princess probably wouldn't bat an eye at it."

Xaviers!
