A. Post-Surgery
[ Choices were made. March may or may not regret them a little, but upon remembering things like how badly injured so many of the Outsiders had been and Ishmael gritting her teeth while struggling to walk, she'd ultimately decided it was worth it.
Maybe not right now, though, not when she's kind of staggering around the base, looking very much Still In Pain and sheet-white. Of course, that's one thing. The other thing is that she looks completely disoriented and depending on where you find her, it's pretty obvious that it's not where she was trying to go. Maybe it's a non-Redemption wing. Maybe it's the cafeteria.
Maybe it's the rec room?? Maybe she's actually heading outside when she clearly shouldn't be??
If you're still not entirely sure what she's up to, she can be heard quietly muttering to herself in a shaky voice, definitely rattled-- ]
W-why is it so hard to find my room??
B. Compass Required
[ It's a day or so later! And she is.
... Not doing any better. Though at the very least, she's had some time to get the style upgrade implemented and is comfortably clothed in her much more familiar (to her) outfit from home.
But she hasn't actually been seen on the base all day, which probably isn't terribly strange, since March likes to go out and experience life, but at this point it's dark and if you're out at night, you might spot her. Talking to a few people who seem either amused or flummoxed by her current level of vexation. ]
No, sorry, I've definitely been to Shinjuku, and I know where it is on a map, I just--
I'm not drunk! Look, just tell me "this way" or "that way" and I'll figure it out from there!!
[ ... She has apparently been dealing with something similar for hours, given that she really does sound like she's on the verge of frustrated tears. ]
C. Bah Hummingbird
[ At this point, March has given up leaving the base on her own, so you can spot her in the greenhouse (though it's arguable whether she meant to be there or not), a cute little hummingbird perched on her shoulder. She's taking pictures of the plants, though she pauses to glance up when she realizes she's got company, offering a smile that is definitely a lot steadier than the mess she's been over the past few days. ]
These little guys are pretty cute, aren't they? I'm more of a dog person, but I gotta admit, they've got a lot of appeal!

Well, before that... [ She pushes herself back to her feet. ]
Was there anything in all of that... that you didn't mean?
no subject
No....
no subject
How ]
Then there's one thing I can tell you that you should've done.
no subject
[what should he have done wise guru]
no subject
I don't know what you've done to make you say "I don't deserve you" and "you deserve better" so much and I don't actually care what it is, because that's not the important part. [ She frowns, expression unusually somber. ]
But anyone who says something like that, like it's for someone's own good that you're holding back or keeping your distance or not letting yourself be happy, is just trampling all over their own right to choose!
So where's the part where you asked her what she wanted, exactly?? How do you think it must've felt, being told that without letting her speak for herself on what she thought? Because I can tell you, if it was me, I'd be pretty pissed off!
no subject
[Pissed off?]
[What she wanted...?]
[He thinks of the children. How he decided not to see them after what happened.]
[Because he thought they were better without him.]
[He.....didn't....]
So she was....upset, then...
no subject
[ She props her hands on her hips. ]
Talk to her. Stop putting yourself down for at least a full three minutes and hear what she's gotta say.
no subject
[..........]
[He heaves a sigh like nothing else, closing his eyes, pinching his nose. The last time he felt this tumultuous was after what happened with that woman, and that orphanage, and now...]
[Well, there's one lady involved. But it feels like she might be far in the wind by now.]
....Alright. Alright. I will.
no subject
Then I'm counting on you! I'm sure she'll hear you out.
[ And accept YOUR APOLOGY-- ]
no subject
[please by the wings he's remembering what malkuth said about her not wanting to talk to him]
[faded in image of teary-eyed cat.jpg....]
Thanks.
no subject
[ They've come so far!! ]
But coffee's on you this time.
no subject
[She seems like the type.]
no subject
And after all that, you'd better believe I need it!
