Reunion with kneel_majorzod

[have_no_mercy]

For any other reason, Tess wouldn't do this. She's tired, fat, cranky and moody and the last thing she wants right now is company and a potentially stressful conversation, but she needs to know what happened. And that means she needs to talk to Zod in person. Right now.

That doesn't mean she has to be happy about it, even if she is somewhat relieved that he isn't dead after all. Not that she ever really thought he was and wasn't worried at all about him. No.

She suspects he'll remember their usual conduct for these types of meetings and waits for him to arrive in the mansions's study, resting on her chaise, an arm over her forehead.

"I was going to tell you," he says softly, averting his gaze again. "But I was...obsessed. I thought my people were next on his list. And if anything happened to them, what we've been trying to achieve would be lost."

Then he glances up at her. "Regardless of whether or not he would have harmed you, you wouldn't have been able to scour the globe with me, Tess. It was something I had to do alone."

"You could have at least told me. I know my limits and I know I couldn't have gone with you, but I could have put appropriate back up in place."

Tess leans back against the cushions and sighs once more, a hand going to her stomach. "You just didn't trust me."
