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.

Confusion flashes across Zod's face for a brief moment, but realization seems to hit fairly quickly. "I suppose we'll just have to wait and see."

Tess will take this moment to pout. "Sooner rather than later, I hope. I'm sick of all this already."

He regards her curiously. "How much longer is it supposed to be?"

[have_no_mercy]

"In a perfect world, seven and a half weeks. But technically, it could be any time now." Which doesn't seem to please her, either. "You'd think we'd be advanced enough by now to skip over this nonsense."

"I just hope she has a somewhat brighter world to be born into." And at the moment, by 'brighter' he more or less means one without Darkseid in it.

Tess watches him for a few moments, not entirely certain how to respond to that.

"She will. Eventually."

Zod nods unenthusiastically. "When we succeed, yes."

[have_no_mercy]

And we're back to eyerolling. "Well, with that attitude, it'll happen in no time."

[kneel-majorzod.livejournal.com]

He's just going to ignore it this time. "One can only hope."

[have_no_mercy]

There's another silent assessment of him before she speaks again. "You should get back to your people, try to relax."

[kneel-majorzod.livejournal.com]

He doesn't seem very eager to resign to relaxation, but he doesn't protest. Instead, he merely nods and takes a step or two away from his abandoned chair. "And you should try to do the same."

[have_no_mercy]

Tess nods. "I think we both could use it."

"I imagine we could," Zod agrees absently. "Until next time, Tess."
