BAD DAY PROMPTS || STILL ACCEPTING! || @scorelists

scorelists asked: “ maybe you think it’s your job to look after everyone else. but it’s not supposed to be like that. it works both ways. and now it’s my turn to look after you. okay? ” // for norm 🥺

❝ ... ❞

[The disgruntled officer stared at Jude in mild disbelief; was she really offering to hear him out on his problems? On his heartache? He scoffed, a wry smirk on his lips. He wasn't about to vent to a kid...she didn't need to hear about everything that was wrong in his life. She had her own issues to deal with, ones that Norm identified with all too well -- though he'd done his best, up until now, to keep that quiet. Alas, it was probably clear just how much he related to her grief...he resented the killer just as much as she did, and he wanted justice more than anybody else on the force.]

[Norm would hear her out -- he was an adult, and he could handle it. But she was a child. She didn't need the burden of Norm's issues piled on top of her own...although, in fairness, he likely wouldn't have spilled even if she was the same age as him. Whether or not he was okay, she didn't need to concern herself with him.]

❝ Dunno what made y'think that, li'l lady. I'm lookin' out fer myself, so you don't gotta worry 'bout me. Alright? I'll be fine. ❞

DSAF PROMPTS || STILL ACCEPTING! || @scorelists

scorelists asked: ❝ See? I'm useful! ❞ for norm!

[The sheriff exhaled through his nose -- a supressed laugh, to the watchful eye and ear. Much to his surprise, Jude had indeed made herself useful ( spotting a clue and hence piecing together part of their puzzle ), all without disturbing the crime scene he'd worked so diligently to preserve...he'd been certain that he was making a mistake in allowing her to accompany him ( putting not only her, but his job at risk ), but she'd proven her mettle thus far. Maybe this would wind up benefitting both of them.]

❝ Y'know, you ain't wrong. ❞ [A smile crossed Norm's features, not unlike one that he'd use when telling his kid that he was proud of them.] ❝ Congrats, little lady. You've managed to surprise me. Yer doin' well so far. Wanna keep that up? Two heads're better 'n one, 'fter all. ❞
