Jan 19 18:09:31 <Soulless>	"Yes, there always is. It's rather cold though isn['t it?"
Jan 19 18:11:01 <Salems>	"It was far colder up north."
Jan 19 18:11:15 <Soulless>	"I suppose so."

Jan 19 18:14:51 <Soulless>	"Do you like warmth?"
Jan 19 18:15:24 <Salems>	"Who doesn't?"

Jan 19 18:52:35 <Soulless>	"It's just familiar, you understand?"

Jan 19 19:04:41 <Salems>	"We are never safe, Rolf. That sounds like a cliche, but we are never safe. Even here... Anoms can cause concern."
Jan 19 19:08:46 <Soulless>	Rolf looks down slightly, then looks up, smiling again. "But we can't always be on guard."
Jan 19 19:11:00 <Salems>	"People with that philosophy are just easy kills, Rolf. Because you know one day, they'll calm. They'll think 'I've been fine thus far- one lapse in my guard won't hurt!'... Pew." Ri examines her gun, shaking her head.

Jan 19 20:27:31 <Soulless>	He begins to walk away slowly, looking back a few times, then moving off to a dejected little canter.
Jan 19 20:30:28 <Salems>	..She laughs. Ri starts to laugh.

Jan 19 21:11:01 <Salems>	"You are either banking on that fact that as your teammate, any guess you make during this will let you walk away with only your ego shattered..

Jan 19 22:12:35 <Salems>	"How exactly would you manage either of those things??" Rolf, that was the worst possible nerve to have struck. She really, really seems ready to lash out.

Jan 19 22:25:27 <Soulless>	It's decidedly kind though. Just sure of his kindness.

Jan 19 22:27:12 <Soulless>	"I make a small incision. And then I drink it from you. No marks after on you."

Jan 19 22:29:09 <Salems>	"Keep away from me." She takes a step back. "I don't want your help. I don't trust your help. Stay away." Screw the knife, Ainsely gets her revolver out. "Stay. Away."
Jan 19 22:36:40 <Soulless>	He blinks, watching her. He seems to calculate, and then step forward. "That's okay. It's because I'm anomalous, right?"
Jan 19 22:37:37 <Soulless>	He opens his body up in language, showing his palms as he steps forward. "I won't force you to be helped. But think of it. Imagine just one day, without that weight."
Jan 19 22:38:44 <Soulless>	"Just one night where you don't have to think about it."
Jan 19 22:38:58 <Soulless>	"One morning where you don't dream of it."

Jan 19 22:39:58 <Soulless>	He keeps his voice soft, but steady, loud enough for her to hear. Gentle, with all the hardness of kitten fur. All the malice of puppy kisses. Honeyed and tempting, and easy to listen to. Calming.
Jan 19 22:44:54 <Salems>	Rolf. There is a gun pressed to your shoulder. "...You have one chance to walk away, and let me finish my patrol. I'm contacting your handler regardless after this, because you find it a grand idea to fuck with my patrol, bring up traumas, almost get me shot.. Walk away, or I will treat you as a hostile. I will take you back in handcuffs, and whatever they decide to do to you.. I won't argue." Ainsely is, cold. She's cold and she
Jan 19 22:44:55 <Salems>	is not listening. She does not trust Rolf, and she does not believe him. "Walk away, or I will treat you as a hostile."
Jan 19 22:46:19 <Soulless>	Roll intim?
Jan 19 22:47:34 <Salems>	She isn't intimidating, she's just being blunt

Jan 19 22:53:23 <Salems>	(I'll roll it if you really want)
Jan 19 22:54:25 <Soulless>	He puts his hand on her gun, and is quiet for some time. Finally, he says, sweetly, softly. "I am a good agent, my friend. I would never be hostile. I am merely following your orders, the orders of a security agent." Smiles, soft, sweet. "Just think about it. No one would know. And you'd finally have some respite from it. The guilt. The pain. The nightmares." He moves the gun to his head, his gaze soft, innocent, devoid of all
Jan 19 22:54:25 <Soulless>	suspicious intent or malice.
Jan 19 22:55:09 <Soulless>	Then he steps back, and his demeanor shifts. "You know where to find me." Demure, he begins to turn and step away, his back to her. Vulnerable. Trusting.

Jan 19 23:02:27 <Salems>	Ainsely is- still understandably pissed. She's still angry, still afraid of Rolf... But the major fight or flight fades when he finally leaves her alone, when he finally listens.. She's angry, and out of some petty need for revenge she lobs a snowball at his head before continuing on her patrol. No words, nothing. She'll still talk to Charles.. But right now, she doesn't want to see hide or tail of anyone, for any reason.
