Revelations with [livejournal.com profile] kneel_majorzod

Tess has just put Alice back to bed and is looking forward to a quiet night in. As such, she's settled by the fire in the study, a book she'd picked up randomly earlier in the week on the table in front of her. If she's lucky, she might even get to start it.

"I'll try," he agrees, nodding. "Even if it's a lie, we have few other options."

"Between Emil and I I'm sure we can figure out whether it is or not fairly quickly."

Tess squeezes his hand again. "You shouldn't have gone there by yourself."

Zod sighs and rests his head over against hers. "I was only following a lead. And I was cautious."

She sighs. "And if you found what you say you found then you've put yourself on their radar. Again."

"Was I ever off it?" he asks softly, curling his fingers over hers.
have_no_mercy: (wanting to believe)

She doesn't really want to answer that, but she does anyway. "I spoke to him not long ago. He seemed still willing to maintain our... agreement."

He shrugs slightly. "If he wanted to hurt me, somehow I doubt he'd have to wait for me to come to him. Besides, there's little more he can do to me."

"He can kill you," she points out, sitting up to look him better in the eyes. "He may just have been playing games before, but if you've stumbled onto something that truly is vital to him, we don't know what he might do."

"Other you expressed a desire to keep my presence unknown to him. Whether that was just part of the act or not I'm not entirely sure," he tells her thoughtfully. "But if it could save my people, I have to go back."
have_no_mercy: (negative eye contact)

She closes her eyes and heaves a sigh. "I know."

He hesitates briefly before slipping his arms around her and pulling her into a hug. "I'll be fine."
have_no_mercy: (questioning)

[personal profile] have_no_mercy 2011-03-11 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
It's still a strange feeling but she doesn't resist, wrapping her arms around him as well. "You'd better be."

"You can keep track of my every move," he points out, fingers teasing a little tuft of hair.
have_no_mercy: (uncertainty abound)

"Oh, I will be." As if that was even a question. And if she appears to snuggle a little closer, surely it's just his imagination.

As it would be hers if he appeared to tighten his hold on her. And then he'll fall silent, staying right where he is.
have_no_mercy: (looking for answers)

Tess does the same, simply enjoying being here, with him, when for once nothing is immediately pressing.
