I had a feeling it was that... [She stays silent for a moment, eats her stew.] She was mind-controlled, I understand her reasons. [There's a firm tone that enters her voice and her hazel eyes go dark in a way Squalo has probably never seen before.] ...She should never try it again.

[But it goes away, quickly as it comes.]

I hope it never did. [Her 'trips' so far have been awful.]

It's been happening since the festival, I really don't know what's been going on. But I want it to stop.

[sharktrash]

No kidding. [ But there's a glint of something in his eyes as he smirks again. ] But I'll be ready next time.

[ Then he's frowning again. So it sucked for her too, huh. ]

Right. You might want not to mention it to your manager.

[scalpedsociety]

[Murder!Mother/Son. I'm just saying. >_>]

I'm not. We are often at odds anyway. She's... ugh, I hate using this word- kind of a poser. All she cares about is how we look. I like to dress, but every so often I want the opinion to dress down you know.

[And every so often she wants to wring that twits neck.]

[sharktrash]

[ Excellent. ]

Mm. Sounds annoying.

[ He chuckles a bit. ]

We don't even have a makeup artist. But it's lucky I like leather.

[ Spooning that soup now. ]

[scalpedsociety]

More than you know, my Shark.

But never mind about her, how's the stew?

[sharktrash]

I wouldn't be so sure.

[ He knows quite a bit. The distraction is most welcome. ]

It's great. I see you've still got it.

[scalpedsociety]

I'm glad.

I haven't slept in a couple days, been unable to.

[sharktrash]

[ great, now he looks concerned. ]

Eh? Don't they have like, drugs for that or somethin'?

[scalpedsociety]

...The Doctor gave me some, but they don't calm me down.

[sharktrash]

...I see.

[ He's going to awkwardly put an arm around her and pat her back. What else can he do? ]

[scalpedsociety]

[And she leans into his shoulder.]

But now that you're alright, maybe I can rest easy.

wrap or did you have something else in mind?

[sharktrash]

You'd better.

[scalpedsociety]

[Nah, we can wrap.]
