spam } horatio

[When Cassel picks the lock on Horatio's door and slides inside, silent as a cat in the dark, he finds the man asleep in a hammock hanging gently above creaky floorboards. For a moment he regards him in the dim light coming from the hallway, considering all of his options. He could easily turn Horatio into something unspeakably vile as punishment. It might even be right.]

[Instead, he pulls a black silk cloth out of his pocket and, leaning up on his tiptoes, ties it around Horatio's eyes and behind his head. Then he sits in the corner of the room, legs crossed and eyes half-open, waiting for the man with his naked hands to wake up.]

I need your help with something. Or someone, I guess.

What do you do for blowback? I have some techniques that I used on my mom, but - you probably have better ones. She never really tried to control it.

private } needy

[In between all of this, he's almost surprised by the arrival of Needy's file. He's still a warden here. Even though Czeslaw's gone, he gets another chance.]

[As he reads it, a smile grows on his face. Nothing he's reading is good, but it's not - foreign, either, even when it technically is. He doesn't feel lost. He feels - intrigued.]

[He's still half-smiling when he opens the feed, cocking his head at her through the connection.]


So. You pissed?

open spam } gardens

[He sits under a tree, making statues.]

[Maybe this will frighten people, now that they have some context: he's got his gloves off, folded carefully at his side. There is scrap metal - soda cans and piles of paper clips - by his knee. This he uses to build his statues, long, thin, somewhat overwrought looking things, melded and twisted by his transformation into something vaguely human.]

[Occasionally he pauses and takes a sip of the open mug of steaming coffee at his other knee. Then he goes back to building ugliness.]

[Horatio's stomach dives into his shoes as Cassel backs away from him, and a profound misery seeps into him in response to the mild rejection.]

Of course. I'll not try to approach again.

Would you? Would you really?

You're not a psychopath. We get attached to people really fucking easily here.

[Horatio doesn't move. His expression creases into an expression of unhappy understanding.]

Emotion working.

[He straightens up, and takes a step back, distancing himself from Cassel, even though doing so makes his heart ache.]

I won't touch you. I couldn't do anything even if I did, but-- I'm sorry. I won't come close, and I won't touch you.

It's not like you're a forever-on-call fireman, dude. You can take breaks. How often do fires here happen, anyway?

Because the Admiral knows we're on a wooden ship?

[Elena is quiet a moment. It shouldn't mean much coming from Cassel. He never knew Elena before she became a vampire, before she turned her humanity off. Granted, Elena hadn't managed to bury or strip herself of who she used to be as well as she thought she had when her emotions were locked away tight until she could cope with it better, but still. Cassel could never really claim to know her.]

[She's not even really sure if he meant anything by it and maybe she was giving him too much credit. But that seems to be Cassel's raison d'être: keep them guessing.]

[And in the end, it's still nice to hear.]


Yeah, [she says with a small nod.] Yeah, I am.

[By some small miracle. She's changed and grown, but she's still Elena.]

[Elena brushes some of her hair back behind her ear before she points to one of Cassel's little statues.]


Can I have that one?

Fuck you, I'll apply logic all I want.

Still. We might be overdue for a fire.

[Still smiling, she makes a sniffling laugh again, shaking her head.]

N-no. I'm not gonna be a little bitch and ignore you. I just...I don't know what I want to do. I wasn't expecting it to go like this.

[Elena picks the statue up, turning it over in her hand a moment before resting it in front of her.]

Right, [she says with a nod and a smile.]

[Elena isn't sure if they'll ever necessarily be friends. There was a lot of damage done there, most of which was Elena's doing. But they don't need to be enemies with each other anymore. They don't have to be looking over their shoulder where the other one is concerned. Something like that on the Barge is a big deal all on its own.]

[It's great and it feels good.]


But you decide to start pulling pranks on me or something like that, it's absolutely full-on war again and I won't accept any surrender.

Maybe I'll get to be a fireman.

Or an arsonist.
