You know, I'm not a fucking idiot. The cannibalism was indeed real fucking obvious from context. And also that she was a lesbian.

He's been thinking of Joan's sleeping arrangement as scheduled. What it really is, is routine. Part of their day. Comfortably, he retrieves her, they prepare her for sleep, he monitors for a while before going to bed himself, and they wrap up in the morning. He hasn't embellished the process with any concessions, hasn't offered her coffee or let her linger her room overlong, and a pleasant normalcy has seeped into him nonetheless.

He joked with her.

Self-awareness holds him a little rigid, bringing his posture back to the week they started doing this. Upstairs, with her electrodes attached, he takes a seat in the easy chair he moved in for their morning interviews.

Hap rubs his hands together before beginning.

"What I wanted to talk to you about, completing the work... I know the others don't talk to you much anymore, but when they did, they told you about her, didn't they?"

Good. Hap was and is reluctant to say her name. Even in thought, he can't make it sound innocuous. It's barbed in his brain, and it would be on his tongue, too. Maybe Homer and the others told Joan about the power she had over him. He would rather not prove it.

"Only two, that I know of," he says, self-deprecating with noticeable effort. They probably count her escape as the third. He doesn't accept that. Wherever she is, she regrets leaving. If not him, them. Joan included. "The third was a work in progress. They hit a wall, but if you could break through it..."

He gazes intently at her, her potential as sharp as a hook. "I want you to find the fifth Movement."

Hap shakes his head, straightening in his chair.

"They don't have it. Their contacts —" he gestures to her, "your brother, to you — won't give it to them." Scott threw that in his face not long after Prairie abandoned them. When he did, the dejection that sank further into the others eradicated Hap's reflexive suspicion. "But the connection you have to the other side is different. Personal. You could convince him."

As for performing the movements together, that's Hap's responsibility. And they will do it. They'll have no other choice.

His jaw tightens in searing disappointment. This afternoon brought about the acute realization of how much of himself he's made available to her. It's unusual, it's inadvisable, and apparently it's insufficient. The insidiousness of their rapport is gentle and quiet. Joan moves fast and loud.

"No."

So she's been holding onto that, has she? Hoarding her little pile of instances when she deigned not to make a fool of him. He's been even more generous than he thought.

"How," he demands, unmoving. Unwilling to feel the weight and flex and threat of his own body. He fills his mind with images of the methods he's denied her: hanging from light fixtures that aren't there, wrists torn open with shards of glass that can't break, ceramic pots he's replaced with flimsy plastic. A hurried, violent deluge, that spills over with a flash of contempt.

"That's a myth," he tells her, lacking the resource of will to do so kindly or with any levity.

Hap reaches for his glasses, pulling them off along a hard-pressed sigh. He is mollified, very meagerly, by the fact that she only wants to hurt herself. Not take herself away from him and the study.

His gaze flickers down and is caught by the smudges on his glasses. The tiny, transparent streaks he's been staring right through. "Maybe this was a mistake."

ultimatums: (i saved for the weekend)

[personal profile] ultimatums 2025-01-13 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Raylan had expected her to be there already when he got there, so he spends the few minutes waiting for her wondering if he's being stupid. He's definitely too old for this, for one. This is the kind of thing younger men than him do, or at least the kind of thing done by people whose jobs aren't the fulcrum upon which their lives turn. But to her he's a gravedigger, even if that's just a stupid joke. He has time, waiting, to take the badge off his belt and stuff it in the pocket of his jacket – if she asks genuinely, he's not gonna lie, but maybe he can avoid it. Plenty of people carry around here, though, so it doesn't occur to him to do anything with the holster at his hip or the gun in it.

The ice in his bourbon hasn't had enough time to melt when she actually shows up. He takes off his hat by the crown, setting it on the bartop and turning in her direction. Lindsay, the bartender, offers a first-name greeting like she knows him: she's blonde and soft spoken, with a high, almost cartoonishly feminine voice and a propensity towards hauling her shotgun out from under the bar to shoo off unruly patrons. He orders the rum and coke, to be added to his tab, and tries not to think about what impression it's giving Joan that he's a regular.

"You're not from Kentucky, right?"

[personal profile] ultimatums 2025-01-13 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Depends how quickly you apologise," he says with a little smile, tilting his head a little. "But it begs the question, if you're not from here, what the hell are you doin' here?"
ultimatums: (————)

[personal profile] ultimatums 2025-01-13 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
"Right. So you're travellin'." That makes more sense. Every time he meets someone who voluntarily put down roots in Kentucky, there's an urge to grab them by the shoulders and shake them until they get the message and leave. "How long you gonna stick around?"
ultimatums: (the way you wanted it to end?)

[personal profile] ultimatums 2025-01-13 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
"Uh huh." His expression is momentarily a touch envious, if only for the freedom she seems to have, before it returns to something more placid. "Well, be careful you don't get turned around and end up back here. I was on the way out for a while, and yet."
ultimatums: (we all know the truth)

[personal profile] ultimatums 2025-01-13 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
"It's my job, actually," he says, his face a little pinched. Does he just look divorced or something? "Why'd you figure alimony?"
