... No, (patiently. As possible.) Does she know that I told you about what happened, Benedict.

[altusimperius]

OH. [almost too loudly,

and then he considers a moment.]

...I don't... think so.

[a beat.]

I didn't stay long after I said it.

[armd]

Fuck.

(Well now she has to go and think about how to handle that. Goodbye relaxing bath.

Begrudgingly,) Thanks for telling me.

[altusimperius]

I'm sorry.

[this feels worse somehow, why does this feel worse]

[armd]

(Abby makes a sound and then sighs and says,) Yeah, I know.

(She feels kind of... annoyed, not fully angry but pissed off enough that she doesn't want to keep talking to him right now. Still, she knows him, so she adds,) We're good. Okay? I have to go.

[He takes a breath, like he might say something else, but thinks better of it-- perhaps the thing to do here is to follow her lead.

It's not what he wants, but strongarming through this one, trying to control the outcome, seems inadvisable.]

Okay, [he relents instead, quietly. Then he puts the crystal down and sits in silence for a while.]
