Chatting in the Sun
Since the weather finally broke from the spring chill and apparent desire to crawl back into winter, Val decided to have her coffee break outside in the sun in the manicured patio area. She had her note pad out, with both journals and cases loaded on it as well as that Tetris-crossword puzzle game, but she preferred just tipping her head back and basking in the warm sunshine for a while. Smiling at the sun, she sighed and opened her eyes to take a sip of her drink. Maybe she could move her desk out here...

	Josh chuckled too. "I'll have to take your word for it. I've never seen it myself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mm, steer clear, those shows are addictive. And he was cheesy with his mood swings." She shrugged lightly, smiling. "But that's how it goes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Duly noted." An intrigued eyebrow. "Oh, how cheesy are we talking?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Like 'suddenly southern accent and 'So and so isn't here anymore. I'm Bobo'' kind of cheesy." She rolled her eyes emphatically. "That's not how dissociative identities works in the real world." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-06-12 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	Josh nods. "Ever listen to one of Typhoid Mary's old interview tapes? Now that's just disturbing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2013-06-13 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	That actually sounded fascinating. "Mm. That would be fascinating, I haven't had access to the recording. Probably need to make it a drinking game if I have company." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She has three known spilt personalities, and you can clearly pick them out while listening. It's freaky. You'd almost think it was actually three different women. I swear there was a fourth in there, but I'm not in psychoanalysis," he explained. "I'd invite you to listen to my copy, but I can't get drunk. A drinking game would be kind of pointless.

	"I'm sure being buzzed wouldn't make the scary voices any easier, I'm afraid." She chuckled and sighed. "No, I wouldn't want us to trade vocations for anything. You excel at the demands of agent work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-06-14 12:25 am UTC (link)
	"Thank you. I hear good things about your work, too, Doctor." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2013-06-14 01:33 am UTC (link)
	She canted her head in thanks with a smile. "And what are you up to today, wandering around like you were?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-06-14 04:09 pm UTC (link)
	"Well I originally went out to get a coffee, but my usual place is renovating. So I went to a different place and ran into Sammy. We talked for a bit, I had some coffee and pie, and then made my way here," Josh explained. "It's then that I realized I got ready an hour early." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2013-06-14 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	The story made Valini smile in warm amusement. "My my, Agent Butterfly, you've been chatting with everyone," she teased and instinctively checked her own watch. "Well, better to be early than horrifically late, I suppose." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-06-14 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	"True. I was going to work out a little bit, but this is good too," he said with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ooh, resisting the siren call of the weight room today? Hurray for cheat days," she cheered and chuckled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-06-15 03:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Hardy har har," Josh said with mock indignation. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2013-06-15 05:57 pm UTC (link)
	She bat her eyes innocently. "You take great pride in your capabilities and push yourself to your limits. It's very admirable." And some people certainly did a lot of admiring it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-06-15 06:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Well thank you. It's a good stress release too..probably why I've been spending so much time there lately," he admitted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2013-06-16 01:28 am UTC (link)
	"Oh no, I wish more people would use physical training as an outlet." She lifted an eyebrow curiously. "Elevated stress, Josh?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-06-16 01:31 am UTC (link)
	He sighs. "Yeah..I may have screwed up my closest friendship." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2013-06-16 01:40 am UTC (link)
	She blinked and looked at him, concerned. "I would believe your closest friendship to be too substantial. What makes you think there's damage and you did it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-06-16 01:44 am UTC (link)
	Josh really wished he could get drunk. "I told her I loved her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2013-06-16 11:23 am UTC (link)
	Ah. "I compliment you on the bravery to do that. Not many get the nerve for saying it out loud." She smiled sympathetically. "But I see where the anxiety lies. Did she scream and slap you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-06-16 12:32 pm UTC (link)
	"No, she..just stopped talking to me," he said solemnly. "I feel like I made a big mistake." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2013-06-16 12:54 pm UTC (link)
	"How long has there been no contact? Because it might just mean that she is reassessing everything." She smiled gently. "Either way, this is a sign that you are important to her as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-06-16 01:04 pm UTC (link)
	"..Since the kidnapping was resolved." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2013-06-17 01:23 pm UTC (link)
	Ah. Ah. "Well there is that little life event to make things more complicated," she pointed out mildly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-06-17 01:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah..it's why i confessed in the first place. The idea of never telling her..of her being gone..it just tore me up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2013-06-17 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	She nodded. "That was wise of you. At least you won't have the emotions eating at you in uncertainty." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-06-17 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	"No, but now I have all-new emotions eating at me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2013-06-18 12:16 am UTC (link)
	"True, sadly. We are complicated creatures that way." She sighed apologetically. "I'd say it's better to take action than stew but right now, it doesn't feel that way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-06-18 12:24 am UTC (link)
	"What I'd give for a little foresight." He checks his watch. "Okay Val, I have to in, but thanks for talking to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2013-06-18 12:31 am UTC (link)
	"You and me both." She smile and shooed him away. "Of course. And if you need to later? Just swing by." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-06-18 12:35 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks. I just might do that." The smile was small, but it was there. (Reply to this)(Parent)
