i'm like a bird, i only fly away
Who: Ava & OTA
When: End of December
Warnings: Village discussions likely
i. you're beautiful, that's for sure
Do Not Disturb.
The sign is posted outside their cabin door the day they return and remains through the end of the year, to discourage any well-meaning visitors from bringing any extra stress. She takes great care in securing an environment that Peter can feel safe to recover in, until he's ready to face anyone else.
(text if needed -ava)
ii. you'll never, ever fade
Though she doesn't leave the room much herself, she does occasionally convince herself of the need for fresh air, to walk off the anxiety around the sports deck. She isn't paying much attention to where she's going though, eyes fixed on the stars.
iii. you're lovely, but it's not for sure
She can be found sometimes at the cafe, staring into her cup of tea or preparing a platter to bring back to the room.
iv. that i won't ever change
Toward the end of the week she's got a large pile of dirty clothes she's sorting through in the laundry room, separating the lights (mostly hers) from the darks (mostly Peter's). She has a small pile of things she's pulling out of the pockets, after making the mistake of having washed her pens one time too many. She finds the number badge, and clutches tightly to it.
v. and though my love is rare
And in the middle of one afternoon she's completely passed out in a library armchair, too many late nights watching guard over her husband sleep catching up with her. Jurassic Park lays open on the floor by her feet.
vi. and though my love is true

I'm glad.
He doesn't know, yet, that the launch is imminent: that whatever comes next will involve him.
Do you know John Doe? I'm with him
He almost says he was smart enough not to go, but realises in time that that would be throwing shade on all three of them, not just on himself.

no, don't think i do. but im glad youre not alone.
Sounds like an alias, she wants to call out. She's heard plenty of fake names, but never one so on the nose obvious. But that's not the point of any of this.
when you feel up for it. would you. want to catch up later?
no subject
Don't have to justify taking a break, especially after this month we've seen that more than anyone should have to
Arthur... it's definitely that he's still emotionally raw, but her offer chokes him up. He's-- well, he's weakened their friendship through neglect, and he's been quietly paralysed by a sense that he has no right to pursue it, now, when she's in love with and married to a person he very badly hurt. When telling her would betray Peter's trust, but not telling her would build their friendship on a landmine. Nobody has told him to stay away, but he... christ. Maybe this doesn't make sense. Maybe he's just always primed and ready to run away.
Her message makes him realise how much he wishes he'd asked first.
Yes, I would like that very much

But hopefully now everyone knows exactly what she's capable of to defend it, too.
good. let me know when works best. im trying out this new thing called being awake before noon. new year resolution.
