[He'd kept his distance for a few weeks, sure the feelings would still be raw. It was last week that he sent her the book, as a gesture more than anything, but also a reminder of everything he'd been trying to teach her, a window into what came next. There was a reason for all of this, after all.

And now, when he finally comes to visit, he doesn't say anything immediately, just takes his seat on the other side of the glass and waits to get a good read of the situation as it is now. He has a pretty good idea already, but he wants to confirm before deciding his approach.]

[ Her eyes narrow, and she pushes up abruptly from the table. She has the feeling that it'll take walking away on her part to end this meeting. ]

I'm not sure how else to get across to you just how little I want to speak with you, let alone work with you on anything. What will it take to get you to give up?

[He leans in with his elbows on the table and his hands resting on his cheeks.]

Well, I'm not dead yet.

[ She arches a brow. ]

Not for want of wishing, I promise you. Is that really what it will take?

[He blinks twice and smiles wider.]

Could be.

That or no hope whatsoever that there's a chance you could be better than you are. I'm pretty sure the death part would be easier to accomplish.

I don't need bettering. [ It's snapped, harsh. ] All I need is better defenses, better contingency plans, and less trust.

If you want to go about it the hard way, sure.

It's the only way.

[ And with one more offended huff, she's spinning to head for the door, pound on it, and wait to be shown back to her cell. Even confinement is better than talking to Vic. ]

There are always alternatives, Onyx.

[He rises as she pounds on the door, patting his hat back on his head and straightening his coat. Looks like he's out of time, but he can at least get one last word in as she's led out.]

You need to remember that. And once you're ready to explore them, I'll be waiting.

[ she jerks to a pause, just long enough to shoot over her shoulder: ] Do hold your breath, won't you? It will make my job just that much easier.

[ and then she hurries forward, determined to have the last word of it. ]

[Vic just shakes his head as she's led out of the lobby, then brushes the brim of his hat in farewell before turning around and walking our of the room.]
