cactusy: (I'm waiting for someone)
From: [personal profile] cactusy
I guess so.

["Hopeful" isn't the word she would have grabbed for herself, but now that she thinks about it, it does fit.]

Sure.

That one reminds me that I'm not alone, or at the end of my rope. Even if it seems like I am.

[The question clearly surprises her; she pauses.]

Supportive in what way? Professionally? Not really, for the most part.

[She figures that's probably not what she means, but she can dream.]

From: [personal profile] cactusy
Yeah.

[She says, blowing out a breath.]

Most people are pretty good at that.

cactusy: (cures include coffee‚ cheeseburgers...)
From: [personal profile] cactusy
It... depends.

[She says, her brow creasing.]

From: [personal profile] cactusy
Depends on if they're actually helpful or not, I guess. I've gotten some good advice.

Then it's anywhere from kind of annoying to actively dangerous. Here, it hasn't been any worse than annoying so far.

From: [personal profile] cactusy
Where are you going with this, Malcolm?

cactusy: (this planet both wipes and sucks)
From: [personal profile] cactusy
I'm assuming you have a point.

[Shaw closes her eyes for a moment, equal parts annoyed and exhausted by that response.]

Yeah, I'm not... really interested in games.

[She moves to stand.]

Check in same time next week?

cactusy: (I'm a danger to myself and others)
From: [personal profile] cactusy
You won't give me straight answers, Malcolm.

[She says, on her way to the door.]

Kinda the last thing I need right now.
