Go ahead and play dead, I know that you can hear this, Why can't you turn and face me

[evalon]

this day again. just once i'd like to go back to it being a day i didn't have to try and survive without losing more of myself to the room in my head where no one's allowed to go. but that would be worse, to have it back for one day, only to lose it again. i couldn't sleep today, and i don't think i'll sleep tonite. i'm afraid the dreams will come

*doin set ups behind bar, see's Ev come it out of corner of eye. goes to where she took a seat, places a napkin in front of her*

Ev. Twice in a weeks time? I must've done something good in another life to have such a priveledge.

*smilin at her*

What can I get for you, Doll?

[evalon]

*picks the napkin up and starts to shred it slowly while giving him an appraising look*

you probably did something bad to deserve having to deal with me today, but i could make it up to you and give you something good....to remember in your next life.

*wads up the shredded napkin and places it on the bar carefully*

a shot of AB with a bottle of Doctor's on the side. please.

[goomba_ralph]

*narrows eyes on her as she rips up the napkin, curious. Raisin an eyebrow*

I'm sure you could, sweetness, but sadly we're both otherwise involved"

*smilin at their usual game, fixin her drinks*

There you go. Anything else I can get you?

[evalon]

*gives him a cool gaze, knowing she won't get anything from him and no longer in the mood for their usual banter*

probably for the best, i'd break you in half tonite.

*downs the AB shot first, then the shot of schnaaps*

the rest of the bottle, please. like i asked for.

*pulls a bill out of her pocket and lays it on the bar*

[evalon]

i mean you know exactly what i'm talking about, so don't lie to me and tell me you don't.

*watches the pain flash in his eyes enough to make him turn away*

there, right there i hurt you again.

*moves back into his line of sight and grabs his chin, making him look at her*

lie to yourself all you want, but i do know what i'm talking about, and you know it.

*softens her grip at what she sees and moves closer, setting the axe down and reaching up with her other hand to cup his face, speaks quietly*

i know it hurts baby, and i'm sorry. i warned you that i am not good company tonite, you should've just listened.

*lets go of his face and steps back, picking the axe up again and turning from him*

go home to your wife, Ralph. all you'll get from me tonite is pain and trouble you don't need.

[goomba_ralph]

*tryin to turn away from her but she jumps back in my line of sight, grabbin my face makin me look at her*

What Ev? I ain't ly..you ain't hurtin me.

*standin there tryin to stay in control, even though when she says she knoe I believe her*

You're such an expert on me now? What makes you think I'm hurting. She was my bartender, she's dead. End of story.

*she lets go and picks the axe back up*

I ain't goin anywhere, Ev.

[evalon]

*raises an eyebrow and turns back to him*

oh no? should i say her name again, watch the pain of having to see her die rip through you again? i may not be an expert on you, but i am on this subject and what it does to those that are left behind. and i was there, i saw it...i saw you*softens again and steps closer

[goomba_ralph]

*jaw set*

You can say her name all you want. I don't know what you think you saw or know aside from someone I knew dyin on that field, but a lot of people died that day.

*watches as tear spring to her eyes only to turn to rage as she spouts out a lot of shit. she backs me into a tree. She whisperin in my ear, I grab her by the wrist and spin us so her back is up against the tress. through gritted teeth*

I'm here cause you're in bad shape. Obviously you're dealin with loosin someone. I'm tryin to be a friend. That include not lettin you do somethin stupid to fuck up your life.

*letting her go walkin away puttin a little distance between us*

[evalon]

*leans him against the car and opens the trunk again, pulling out a blanket and spreading it over the seat for him*

yeah, i adore you Ralph? but you're still not allowed to bleed all over my leather.

*smirks and waits for him to get in before going around and getting in herself, starting the car*

you know how i feel, though. doesn't matter how deep it goes, you know it, it still hurts you whether you admit it or not.

thanks for the offer, but if i change my clothes? he'd notice immediately. Michael can be...rather possessive. i'm half surprised he hasn't show up yet to see what i'm doing.

*glances over at him, concerned*

you shouldn't have followed me if it was going to cause a problem for you when you got home, Ralph.

[goomba_ralph]

*quirks an eyebrow, smirkin*

You adore me?

*gives her a sideways glance*

Not many people know the things you think you know about me. How is it that you do?

*gives her directions to the safehouse. tryin to think*

There might be a washer and dryer there. I haven't had to go there in a while, so I cant remember. We can stop at a laundromat and wash your clothes if that'll help. And what do you mean you're surprised he hasn't shown up yet?

*makes a hand gesture like don't worry about it*

Ev, theres no way in hell I was gonna let you go out by yourself in this mood your in. We made it through an apocalypse together, that counts for somethin. Even if its just watchin each others backs from time to time. It's not gonna cause a problem at home, cause theres no reason for it to. Nobody did anythin wrong.

[evalon]

*smirks back at him

[goomba_ralph]

Yeah, a little.

*shruggin*

She was just a kid, an employee. I was just watchin her back. Didn't do a good job of it. I try not to give it much thought. Didn't think anyone else could notice. I'll have to work on that.

Wait you thought I was a spy?

*considers what she's said. In a resigned tone*

So do I have a visit from a disgruntled husband in my future?

*looks at her*

Wantin to do somethin and doin somethin are two different thins. You didn't, I didn't. Nobody did anythin wrong. Got it?
