[So in the last week, Tan has Admitted Things to Herz, gone shooting (okay, he's not amazing, but he can hit his targets okay), and screwed around with the ship's doctor (no, not the robot. Egad.). All in all, birds aside, things are going okay for him at the moment, so he's just going to sit in Sergei's (since he's allowed in here again and all ( Read more... )

[Bennett tenses, very nearly tripping over himself when Herz grabs his shoulder. He allows himself to be turned and finally meets Herz's eyes, forgetting to close that mutilated right eye of his out of momentary panic. He's sorry, Herz, he doesn't mean to freak you out with it.

He nods his head a couple of times, not quite willing enough to pull himself free of Herz's lose grip on his shoulder. The second Herz lets go, though, Ben will be gone.]

...O--o--okay.

[He gives him a light pat, then turns to go back over to Tan.

God, this is such a mess ._.]

[He glances up at Herz, motioning toward the seat beside him.]

For the record? I didn't start it.

[After a backwards glance to make sure that, yes, Bennett has left the building, Herz takes the seat and sighs.]

I--

I-I--I-I got that--that impression, yeah...

[Let him just offer Herz something to drink.]

Here. Tastes wrong, but tastes like alcohol at least.

[He shakes his head, hand raised to politely decline the offer. This is not the kind of mindset he wants to get buzzed in.

...a smoke, though. One that tastes like a smoke? He'd like that.

...

Not sure what he's supposed to say here.]

[Okay then. More for him.

Ah, y'know though. He should probably tell Herz what's going on, if only so he doesn't get it second hand. Because for all that Tan really doesn't think this is that big a deal, hearing from another source would suck.]

I fucked crew.

[Straight to the point.]

S'what he's pissed about.

[Shrug.]

[Herz's fingers pause on his cheek, then scrub instantly into his hair. He ducks his head, hiding behind his own arm.]

's...

's no b--biggie.

[He's fucked crew.

...when he had no one else, but still.

He's no reason to be hurt by this, so he's not.

Really.]

[He's not looking at Herz, or he might have caught that.]

See. Didn't figure it would be. I mean, hell, it's not like it's the first time or anything.

[Which is why he wasn't going to bother saying anything in the first place, but whatever. Done now.]

Anyway, didn't want you getting the wrong idea from Ben or something.

[Just gonna.

Completely ignore the way his chest seizes up over this. Because obviously, it's not a big deal. Tan thinks its cool, and Herz has already said it is that, also, so.

It is.

It's cool, rather. That may have become a little muddled, so to reiterate, there has been no cheating, and both parties are perfectly okay with one another. And the not-cheating.

...but no, seriously, Tan. How is it that you're this ridiculously cool about this. The faith he has in Herz's capability of Not Freaking Out is seriously nothing short of amazing.]

R--

R-rr--

Right, he--

[Yes, let's focus on Ben. Third party, nothing to do with Herz's feelings, no way to slip up and say something Fucking Stupid and Stupidly Telling.]

He--h-he--he...

He...means...well, I...

God, you--y-you guys fight a lot.

[Clearly, his faith in Herz's ability comes from his own ridiculous confidence, and his notion that what he did with Jamie was purely physical (which it was. And how.). It may also have something to do with the fact that after everything else, sex ranks really, really low on the list of Things To Flip Out About for him and he just...assumes Herz is the same way.

No--no, Herz can we not talk about Ben, actually? Please? Bad move!]

Like fuck he means well. I haven't picked any fights with him, I'd be happy if I never saw him again. Not my goddamn fault he can't fuck off.

[Grr hiss catfight etc.]

Tan...

[You haven't picked fights? Uhm. Sure.

Herz sighs--god, he really doesn't want more fighting.]

Jus'...

I'm. I--I'm--I'm gonna go--guh--g-gunna go...talk to hhh-him so.

[If you would like to leave a message...]

[He hasn't, actually! The threat was not picking a fight. He said his piece and left. So there.]

...Yeah. Go coddle the delicate princess.

[Cranky much? His dislike of Ben has come back full force after this incident and probably won't go away again.

Yeah, he's a little irritated that Herz is going to go see Ben instead of sticking around.]

[Just leave it alone, Herz.

Just.

Leave it alone, Herz.

Leave it alone, Herz, seriously.

Just.

Leave--]

H--h-he--he's not--he's not like you.

[GDIT HERZ.]

[Don't say it.]

Yeah, no shit, if he needs somebody to pat him on the back and tell him everything's okay every time he's an asshole to somebody else! Oh, right, he's sensitive. I guess that's why people let him get away with bullshit.

[Said it.

...Don't really care all that much, actually.]

Let him stew, he deserves it.

[OH god, Herz hates arguing. Hates Hates Hates.

Abort. Abort mission. Commence shutdown.

You do realize, Tan, he's...heard similar arguments used concerning him in the past? Oh, wait, no. You probably don't.]
