“I dunno mate, I just sort of do it. It’s all instinct. I’m not thinking when I’m on the court. If I need to dive to save the ball, then that’s it. It’s all split-second stuff.” He shrugs his shoulders as he takes a puff on a cigarette— strictly forbidden by his coach, but his coach hasn’t come along today. Who knew they had so many filming breaks for a stupid, nonsensical MTV video? “What, are you a journalist or something?”

@zeveth as viwilath: "May I accompany you?"

he stills outside the airlock, turning on his heel to look at viwilath seriously. she's taller than him, significantly so, but he exudes an air of confidence that makes him look bigger, && older too.

still, none of that masks the surprise on his face at the request.

"are you... sure?" nog frowns slightly, stepping off to the side to allow a few of his crew to pass him && board. "i don't have a problem with a passenger, i really don't, but... are you sure that traveling in the gamma quadrant is a good idea? i can't in good conscience put you at risk. you're a civilian, && more importantly a federation protective ward. but if you return to dominion space of your own volition, that asylum is voided while you're there, even if you stay on the ship."

with a small sigh, nog shakes his head. "that said, i understand the desire to see your home again, even from a distance. so i'll ask again. are you sure?"

[empiriical]

"Are you crying right now." ( @zeveth )

"what? n-no..." jacuzzi answers, through tears. "i mean — nevermind, it doesn't matter." he wipes at his eyes && squares up to the other, abrupt && far too brazen for someone of his stature — or demeanor. "i'm — i know i shouldn't be here, b-but the thing is... that guy was giving you trouble, && it really... s-seemed like he was gonna hurt you, && i couldn't just — i didn't want anything to happen."

he glances over his shoulder, relieved to see nice standing a few feet away, with donny a few feet further, holding a still-smoking gun. the aforementioned guy is, at present, lying on the ground, quite dead.

"i'll leave you alone now — i don't want to bother you any more."

UNPROMPTED.

@zeveth ✹ u didn't like my starter call but u did stand 2 feet away from me && tell me to write you one anyway

"i remember you," he says grimly, expression wary as he eyes the vorta scientist with mild distrust. he hasn't stowed his gun away yet ; it hangs limply from his left hand, && perhaps it's a gesture of goodwill that he isn't aiming it at her. ( they allowed anyone who wanted to escape the exploding spacecraft to enter knowhere — the head of the dead celestial they all call home — but that doesn't mean rocket is happy about any of them being there. && it doesn't mean they won't be held accountable for their actions. )

"though... shouldn't you be like, older by now? or not. i don't understand how people like you age." he scoffs dismissively, && starts to turn away, wanting to be... just about anywhere but here, having this conversation. "i don't care, either. just... stay away from me." rocket starts to go, small feet carrying him silently, the only sound coming from his nails click-clacking on torn-up concrete. && then, once he's put about ten feet between them, he stops, sighs, && returns the large blaster to its holster on his back, before turning back around to face her. "i heard you betrayed him. the high evolutionary. what, it took you two decades to figure out that eugenics is bad? gimme a break."

🔥 how do you feel abt certain vorta mad scientist lesbians on this fine tuesday? :)c or at the ears and the evil streak too much?

send “🔥?” and my muse will admit whether they find your muse attractive or not. / accepting.

" i don't think there are many cases of pure evil. nobody's perfect. but that being said.... @zeveth is so cute when she's all concentrated 'n stuff. "

@zeveth​​

“ ‘come off it’ ... oh! my partner uses that! don’t tell me-- “ his foot taps along with his pondering. then, a eureka snap! “ you think i’m lying. that’s it. ‘come off it’ means ‘you’re lying, and you better stop it, because i know you are’. au contraire, my friend -- cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye, i’m telling the truth. “

it's been so long — even if you think you're over it, over her, that melancholic loneliness never really leaves you. you've been apart nearly twice as long as you ever knew each other, && yet eda left a larger hole in your heart than any pain you've ever known.

it doesn't show, in your day to day. it would be impossible to function if you allowed that longing to affect you so deeply.

but you're in her city. bonesborough. you know she's still there, && you can't imagine that she doesn't know you're in town, either. the one thing that dominion records doesn't slack on is publicity.

"Something's missing, isn't it? Someone?" ( @zeveth )

zeveth's voice cuts through your thoughts like a serrated blade, && you blink, startled, && turn around. there she is, standing in the doorway to your dressing room.

i should visit my parents, you think, vaguely.

the two of you have reached an understanding, after your encounter in the hallway that evening. she knows you better than you thought. who knew that vorta could be so empathetic?

"you're perceptive." you turn off the light above your mirror && pivot in your chair to face her. "it's..." there's no real reason to lie. you're beyond that now.

"my ex lives in this city. i haven't been back here in years."

UNPROMPTED.
