"No it isn't fun. But back to Bucky. What are you planning on doing if he approaches you and wants to be your warden for a bit? You planning on giving him the time of day or play this whole cold hard bitch thing?"

She shrugs. "No plans. I guess we'll just have to see what happens."

Re: Her cabin

[hottestrogue]

"Well play nice with him. I'll make it worth your time."

Re: Her cabin

[cryobiological]

"Oh, you will?" she asks, with a slow, syrupy sweet smile. "And how, exactly, do you plan to do that?"

Re: Her cabin

[hottestrogue]

"That depends on what it takes to make it worth your time. If it is something I can do, I will."

"So ... leave 'Bucky' alone," she says, with the air quotes in her voice even if she's not indicating them with her fingers, "and you'll owe me a favor? Whatever I want?"

Re: Her cabin

"Not leave him alone, go easy on him and yes. As long as it is something I can do here without getting demoted. So I won't kill an inmate for you. "

She rolls her eyes. "I won't need you to kill anyone for me. As fun as that might be, I can do that myself."

Re: Her cabin

"Good. I that case yeah. I'll do what you want."

Re: Her cabin

"Is that all, then?" she asks. "You just want me to 'go easy' on Barnes? Or was there something else?"

Re: Her cabin

[hottestrogue]

"Honestly, that's it. You don't really have anything else I am interested in right now, Snow." He shrugs. "We got a deal?"

Re: Her cabin

[cryobiological]

She bristles a little at the name, but waves it off. "I already said we did."

Re: Her cabin

[hottestrogue]

"Good." He gives her a nod and then turns to leave.

Re: Her cabin

There's a part of her that wants to tell him to wait, to stay, to keep her company if nothing else. He's the closest thing she has to part of home, here, and that means that he must understand things about her that no one else really will - but that's stupid, so she buries it deep, so deep she doesn't have to feel it.

But what would even happen if she did ask him to stay? It's not like they would have a chat over tea and become best friends. It's not like she would matter, beyond her ability to decide whether to hurt people or not. It's not like he would actually care.

"Good," she echoes, and if he wants to leave - then he can leave, and she won't stop him.

He pauses at that, glancing over her shoulder at her. She is wrong about that. Mick has changed a lot on the Barge. And he would have cared. At least until she killed him. Now he's finding it a lot harder to care. But she's a reminder of home, of Len. He grits his teeth.

"You know where to find me."
