6th Tail

[whatthefoxsay]

[Kira's face. She looks troubled, which even during the worst of times, is unlike her.]

Scott's recovering despite the best efforts of some people.

Dr. Facilier's rooms are gone. He didn't graduate. Is it a failure if an inmate leaves before graduating?

[Because it feels like a failure to Kira.]

Comments

[routemistress]

No. No, Kira love, it's not. No way to stop it feeling like one, mind; you should've seen me when my Victor disappeared.

But Victor's come back. Let's 'ope Doctor Facilier does and all. I liked 'im a lot.

[semifreakingnormal]

It's not a failure.

[He felt like one too, when Jack vanished. For a second, he just considers telling her that, but then he gets a better idea.]

Want to go to the Enclosure?

[surfaceshine]

What are you whining about?

[warisart]

[Ben knows this feeling, intimately; he does not say that whether or not it is a failure depends upon the end goal. He knows Kira's end goal. He knows better than to upset her further, now, without reason.

There is no reason to any of this. He breathes out, his voice still harsh and weak with death still clinging to him, but as gentle as he can make it.]

No, Kira. It is not.

[voluntaryapnea]

Oh, Kira. I'm sorry.

[His voice is quiet. Jack had been sent home, and Andrew, and he knew it had happened a lot. It didn't mean they had to like it.]

[punched_hitler]

No. It's just the Admiral being a bastard.

[Mindy left before she could graduate, too. And normally Steve might have used more polite phrasing, but he's not having the best couple of days, sorry.]

Do you need a hand with Scott?

[brbculling]

Not yours.
