I find it much easier to admit things through written word. You know I'm not the biggest fan of expressing things aloud. It's difficult for me and it shouldn't be. I don't like people to know what I'm thinking.

But exceptions have to be made from time to time: I'm glad you're still around. I think you might be one of my few genuine friends. And. That's nice.

How is that man doing. I keep forgetting his name (no, I'm not forgetting his name on purpose because I don't like him).

Stop by for dinner sometime, huh.

( octavia did say she thought the accent suited her. so, here she is. as statuesque and attractive as ever. )

Darlin'. 'M throwin' a party and I'd love for y'to come.

( he's made himself known in her household as usual. no call. no warning that he was going to show up. it'll never happen. so, he's sauntering forward with that animal grace we all know he has.

     see, he pulled some strings; which means he just took on a different form, smiled & charmed until he was able to obtain what he has draped over his arm, now. besides, the people of new orleans love gale reilly. )

Tavia, darling. I never quite thanked you properly for helping out Regret and I. 

      And I stand by what I said. No one looks as brilliant in red as you do.

       ( she was wearing it the first time he met her ages ago. but he's smiling now, dumb and boyish; while he holds the dress out. )

I used your shower. Hope you don't mind.

       ( her hair is still wet. now, gale reilly you can't just show up. haha, just kidding. just jokin' around, here. )

Y'know what I'm excited for. Monsoon season.

( well, he here is. he isn't covered in blood head to toe. not quite. it belongs to someone else. or multiple someones. we're not sure how much of it is his, given he seems to be fine. as far as appearance goes.

      something is more jagged about him than usual. gale is content. but there's still the lingering feeling of other individuals and their desperation. and there it is, the ever present arrogance.

        what did he do. why did he do it. 

                 why did he come here. we won't know until after the fact most likely. )

( he doesn't say anything. )

Rude.

things about gale and octavia:

octavia is on the Do Not Kill Ever list.

gale appreciates her because she's not to be trifled with. she's her own goddamned natural disaster and she'll ruin you.

gale trusts her.

really trusts her.

trusts her enough to show a vulnerable side that gale isn't faking to get ahead with. 

and if gale had to choose someone to kill him if only temporary, octavia is who he'd pick.

basically, if she ever came to him and had an issue to be solved he'd never, ever turn her away, thanks.
