[[ooc: LJ ATE MY POST. Damn goat. I swear, LJ or the internet eating a post or comment is the most discouraging thing ever sometimes. Jackie...if I didn't like Maes so much, the post would have been dead for good as soon as it was gone. ^^

And for those I owe tags too, I plan to do them tomorrow <3 I get off earlier than usual, so I will have

Oh god.

Gracia. I'm coming, my love, I'm coming.

[There's the sound of running feet, Maes doesn't bother to click off his PCD. It times out as he goes.]

[knowing she's talking to the dead air after his PCD times out, but it's only after that that she can find words.]

I'm sorry. I--I'm so sorry...

my god...was that really the last thing you saw?

[Thoroughly shaken, Gracia tries to pull herself together before Maes shows up. She has to step away from the store, fumbling and picking up her groceries and finding an old bus-stop bench to sit on to wait. She's still sitting there when her husband arrives, and she's still crying, unable to collect herself quiet as well as she'd hoped herself able.]

[He finds her quickly, wrapping his arms around her before pulling out a handkerchief to dry her eyes.]

Gracia... It wasn't you. I know it wasn't you.

[Once her eyes are dried, she tucks herself into his arms more, burying her face against his neck.]

I know...but...it looked like me. ...I never expected we'd be used against you...

[Trisha's horrified face is seen and she looks a bit pale.]

Envy...
