‡3rd Treasure‡ Accidental Video

[The feed clicks on to reveal Koltira and Chloe in some dark, nondescript alleyway. Chloe's muttering about how she doesn't have a choice, struggling weakly, her eyes unfocused. Koltira speaks to her in soothing tones--or about as soothing as his tone gets, at any rate--telling her to calm down, to see reason, et cetera. He has one arm looped around her waist, and the other holds both of her wrists still; the grip is clearly firm but gentle, meant to pacify, not to harm.

After a moment, Koltira notices that Chloe's dropped tablet is on and recording. He addresses it, his tone markedly more agitated than just a moment ago.]

Chloe is out of her mind. I know not why, but she had her own gun to her mouth.

[There's a short delay before Chloe speaks up, her voice unsteady and tired. It's a pale attempt at lying, but it goes without saying that she's embarrassed once she realizes the feed's running, so she makes it regardless.]

Seriously, mate, I'm fine. Ease up.

you're very welcome

[ She'll wait, patiently, because she's good at patience when it comes to people who matter. ]

How do you feel now?

[totallytrustworthy]

Confused. Pissed off that I didn't see this coming.

Wondering how the hell I actually let it happen.

[boughtabookstore]

I'm not very good at comfort, Chloe.

But anger is good. Anger means you're alive and you plan to stay that way.

[totallytrustworthy]

No worries, I'm not much for coddling.

Amusingly enough, I thought the same thing before all of this. But...yeah I'm certainly not reaching for my gun again, so there's that.

[boughtabookstore]

Good.

What do you need?

[totallytrustworthy]

Need?

[She blinks, tries to consider the question earnestly.]

I'm...not really sure, love. Never had much experience with anything other than someone else trying to fire off a shot at me.

[boughtabookstore]

[ ... love okay that's just Chloe being. Chloe. ]

If there is something you find you need, I will at least try.

[totallytrustworthy]

[You know it.]

Thanks, Roslyn. Don't know what I'd do without you around to even out all the crazy.

[boughtabookstore]

I try to avoid being crazy. I find it lowers my competence levels.

[totallytrustworthy]

I'll try to keep that in mind. Thought I was good at it.

Apparently not as good as I'd hoped.

[boughtabookstore]

I think you'll get back to it quickly.
