@hasknife​​​  said:    ❛  don’t  we  deserve  to  be  happy?  ❜

                                  lila  barks  a  laugh,  one  that  startles  from  her  and  borders  on  incredulous;   ❝  mm,  a  bit  of  a  loaded  question,  don’t  you  think?  ❞   from  where  she’s  half-sprawled  across  his  lap,  she  gets  a  perfect  view  of  his  rapidly  sobering  expression,  which  meant  —  ah.  he’s  being  serious.  she’s  not  getting  out  of  the  conversation,  this  time.  her  smile  fades  just  a  fraction,  hand  coming  to  gently  brush  knuckles  by  his  jaw.  

❝  right,  well.  for  starters,  i’m  a  selfish,  natural-disaster-person.  and  you’ve  got  the  daddy  issues  to  end  all  daddy  issues —  not  to  mention  a  bloody  deathwish.  ❞   really,  she  only  thinks  one  of  them  doesn’t  deserve  it  —  the  happiness.  lila  looks  up  at  him  quietly,  something  small  fracturing  her  veneer.  the  asshole  —  he  was  being  genuine.  

her  hand  drops  away  slowly;   ❝  …  i’m  trying  really  hard  not  to  run,  this  time,  you  know.  ❞   she’s  watching  his  expression  carefully,  brows  knitted  into  a  worry;  she  wants  to  ask  a  question  she  fears  the  answer  to.  it  takes  her  another  moment  to  work  up  to  it,  to  regain  her  footing. 

❝  so...  ‘happy’  —  what  does  it  look  like,  for  you?  what  do  you  picture?  ❞  it  feels  too  raw,  too  vulnerable,  suddenly,  so  she  smiles  at  him  again,  doesn’t  give  the  quiet  a  chance  to  latch  on;    ❝  …  because  if  it  involves  a  white-picket  fence,  you’re  on  your  own,  loverboy.  ❞

                                              lila  looks  momentarily  scandalized  —    a  what,  moi?  gesture  to  her  chest;   ❝  what  trouble?  ❞   then,  she  gives  her  most  winning  smile  —  which  might  have  been  more  convincing,  without  the  obvious  signs,  and  visual  dishevelment  of  a  recent  fight.  nothing  a  little  tape-and-glue  couldn’t  fix.   ❝  i’m  not  allowed  to  go  enjoy  the  sights?  ❞   she  can  hear  the  stern  touch  of  disapproval  in  her  mother’s  voice,  now;  this  is  a  very  important    mission,  lila  darling.  don’t  fuck  it  up.

… mum,  who  had  promised  her  more  responsibility  —  but  hadn’t  specified  she’d  be  living  out  of  a  cheap,  horrid  little  roadside.  she  could  tell  her  company  was  less  than  thrilled  herself —  but  cha  cha  didn’t  seem  to  be  the  sort  that  complained.  or  perhaps  it  was  more  of  a  lingering  distrust  over  her  last  partner.  lila  knew  as  well  as  anyone  at  the  commission  what  hazel  had  done.  hell,  given  the  chance,  she  thinks  she  might  have  killed  him  herself.

❝  … hope  you  don’t  really  expect  me  to  wait  around  this  dingy  motel  room  all  day,  ❞   a  pause,  a  soft  gasp;   ❝  god,  no  wait,  is  that  all  you  do?  wait  for  a  little  message  to  drop  down  the  pipe?  ❞  

lila  drops  down  on  their  singular  motel  bed,  and  promptly  empties  her  backpack  of  its  contents;  a  shockingly  wide  array  of  definitely-paid-for  vending  machine  items.   ❝  for  your  information,  i  come  bearing  gifts.  i  didn’t  know  your  favourite,  so  i’ve  got  a  variety  for  our  little  girl’s  night.  ❞   lila  gives  a  half  hearted  flourish  with  her  bag  of  pretzels.  god,  she  was  starving.  time  travel  was  hell  —   but  there  would  be  no  commission-covered  room  service  here.  might  as  well  make  the  best  of  it.

rain.     melancholy at best.   introspective.   severely misunderstood.   pleasure in the subdued.   helping in your own way.   dreams in poetry.   the slowness of falling asleep.   refreshing meditation.

sun.     sunbleached clothes.   futures that are too bright.   everything at arm’s length.   balancing intensity.   blind encouragement.   comfort of sleep.   distracting sunspots in your vision.   necessity of growth.

storm.     chaos with a purpose.   emotions running high.   natural comfortable anarchy.   high volume.   leaving your mark.   brief flashes of violence.   rambling quickly.   the intensity of desire.

wind.     running towards instead of away.   instinctive motivation.   making an impact.   knows everyone who knows anyone.   playful pranks.   mood swings in a split second.   collecting old trinkets.   uncontrollable focus.

@moonexile​​  said:  ❝  it’s  not  going  to  be  easy,  you  know.  ❞  (is  he  talking  about  putting  up  with  diego.  maybe)

                                       lila  hums  a  noise  of  acknowledgement,  swinging  her  gaze  around  to  luther  with  a  cattish  smile;   ❝  ah,  does  that  mean  i’ve  earned  enough  brownie  points  for  the  seal  of  approval,  then?   ❞   mirthful,  but  hesitant  to  do  anything  but  joke  around  the  subject.  after  a  thoughtful  moment,  she  gives  a  small,  resolute  nod;   

❝  mm,  well  —  i’ve  been  told  i’m  not  very  easy  to  contend  with,  myself.  ❞   a  tailspin  into  certain  disaster,  some  might  say.  a  swirling,  awful  tornado  just  waiting  to  happen.  she  had  warned  diego  —    she  was  a  warning,  a  red  flag.  a  do-not-pass-go.   (  not  your  bloody  fault  he  couldn’t  read  the  label  )   —  and  after  everything  that  had  happened,  that  she  had  done  —  that  same  idiot  and  his  insane  family  had  still  let  her  in  the  door.

❝  …  is  this  how  it  always  is  with  you  lot?  how  can  you  stand  it?  ❞   she’s  teasing,  but  not  without  a  subtlety  of  that  envy.   it  was  all  very  embarrassing.

for  a  time,  they  just  watch  the  others  in  comfortable  silence;  klaus  pulling  a  disgruntled  five  into  his  little  solo  dance  number,  diego  getting  competitive  with  himself  in  a  game  of  darts,  viktor  and  allison  half-watching  with  their  drinks  nearby.  a  room  full  of  insufferable  people.  half  the  time  didn’t  know  their  arse  from  their  elbow  —  and  here  she  was,  jealous.  longing.  (   if  mum  could  see  you  now,  what  would  she  think?    )

lila  kicks  her  feet  lightly  in  the  air.   ❝  you  want  to  know  a  secret,  big  guy?  ❞   candid  question  followed  by  a  beat  of  nervous  quiet.  she  watches  diego  for  a  moment  longer,  before  she  drops  her  gaze,  faint  smile  still  stuck  to  her  expression.   ❝  i’m  terrified  i’ll  mess it  up.  ❞
