(closed) story time.
CHARACTERS: roy walker & cassandra anderson
LOCATION: medbay
WARNINGS: knowing roy, trigger warnings for depression and suicide.
SUMMARY: roy will tell the story of Κασσάνδρα, the seer no one believed.
NOTES: backdated to the 14th, continuing/in response to this.
[ she hasn't been to the medbay before, feeling no more inclined to accept medical treatment now than she did when she walked away from peach trees. dredd patched up the wound on her side, it's fine. even now, she's not here for that but rather to see roy. he's given no last name, but she can't imagine that it will be particularly difficult to find him, especially given that she knows what he looks like.
he'll be the first person she actively seeks out on the tranquility. hearing him tell her about the seer with her name should be interesting — and it should take her mind off the fact that she failed her final assessment, that she lost her primary weapon. that still nags even though she's no longer in mega city one (and that is another thing she wouldn't mind being distracted from.)
she's — curious.
anderson spots him and steps closer. ] Roy. [ in place of the sir that he wouldn't accept. ]

[ And he realises that he's gritting his teeth, nearly baring them at her, leaning forward with his hands clenched in the sheets, nearly tearing them apart with how hard he's pulling them.
He hasn't been so angry in- in such a long-
Roy deflates immediately, his hands rubbing at the corner of his eyes, and he almost shakes. ]
Damn you.
[ Soft. ]
no subject
there's a vulnerability to him once the anger leaves him that makes her feel almost guilty.
when she reaches out to put a hand to his shoulder in something like comfort or companionship, it's careful; she's prepared for him to lash out again.
gently - but nevertheless firmly, because she is quite certain of this: ] It wasn't a lie.
