Greer waited to see if he'd actually show......

Methuselah Posts : 11082 Join date : 2010-03-19 Age : 560

He did. About fifteen minutes late. But he did show up.

It takes about 5 minutes to open the door, as if a debate on to open it occurred, and seeing him there she looks honestly surprised. "Hey." stepping back to make way for him to enter her place.

He smiled. Then stepped inside. "Hey. How ya doin, darlin?"

"I've been better and you?" she is wringing her hands and biting her lip as she looks at him.

He watched her. "Been fine. Went campin." He reached out and put a hand on her shoulder. "What's wrong?"

Methuselah Posts : 11088 Join date : 2011-01-09

She jumped at his touch, a small look of relief and then "I think I'm going insane officially. Also I am glad you got that camping trip...." she turns taking a deep breath "I am sorry for expecting more than I should of and you should know you are well defended..." with a soft laugh. Walking towards the wall away from him.

Her shoulders shake for a moment, she pauses and continues "Thanks for coming Jim but I am afraid I'm quite a mess." barely above a whisper.

His brow rose. "I can see that." He walked over and slid an arm around her waist. "Come on darlin. What's eatin ya? An' whatcha talkin' about, expectin' more outta me than ya should?"

She looks at him "I found out from Scion..." she says softly.

Methuselah Posts : 11082 Join date : 2010-03-19 Age : 560

He looked confused. "Found out what from Scion, darlin?"

Methuselah Posts : 11088 Join date : 2011-01-09

"Sam's dead." looking at him

Methuselah Posts : 11082 Join date : 2010-03-19 Age : 560

He no longer looked confused. "Ohh." He frowned. "Ya told me he was like a brother to ya. Ya okay?"

Methuselah Posts : 11088 Join date : 2011-01-09

'No I am not in many ways...." with a tension to her he's never felt looking at him "But I was reminded by others I was expecting too much so sorry for that." and she just looks beaten when she looks at him.

Methuselah Posts : 11082 Join date : 2010-03-19 Age : 560

He looked confused again. "Uh. What?"

Methuselah Posts : 11088 Join date : 2011-01-09

"It's ok I get it. You look good." with a sad smile.

Methuselah Posts : 11082 Join date : 2010-03-19 Age : 560

Look of confusion firmly in place. "Darlin. What in tha hell are ya talkin 'bout?"

Methuselah Posts : 11088 Join date : 2011-01-09

She just stares at him "It's a moot point now ... and ... sorry for thinking you may have thought to tell me instead of me finding out from a stranger... but then it was pointed out that I was being arrogant for thinking such.." looking down "So I am apologizing."

Methuselah Posts : 11082 Join date : 2010-03-19 Age : 560

He continued to stare at her. "I still ain't got any idea what you're talkin about. An' it ain't makin any sense."

Methuselah Posts : 11088 Join date : 2011-01-09

"In what way?" shaking her head "The fact I was stupid enough to think you may have called me and told me about Sam or the fact I am sorry for thinking you would?"

Methuselah Posts : 11082 Join date : 2010-03-19 Age : 560

His brow rose. "So, you're all pissed 'cause I didn't call you insteada doin' what I been doin' ta get tha whole mess taken care of?"

Methuselah Posts : 11088 Join date : 2011-01-09

"You got it cleaned up?" looking at him confused.

Methuselah Posts : 11082 Join date : 2010-03-19 Age : 560

He shook his head. "Naw. But there was some things 'bout it maybe not bein' all legal. That's what I been doin. Trackin down that shit."

Methuselah Posts : 11088 Join date : 2011-01-09

"Then thank you." softly said.

Methuselah Posts : 11082 Join date : 2010-03-19 Age : 560

He stared at her. "For what?"

Methuselah Posts : 11088 Join date : 2011-01-09

"Looking into the situation." sounding defeated
