[ OPEN ] Hot Springs Episode!
CHARACTERS: EVERYONE
WHERE: The Second Flight
WHEN: DAY :022
SUMMARY: The Sauna!
WARNINGS: Nekkid times.
[ A few hours after the murder, she hasn't blown the ship up, and here they are. Another knock knock on everyone's brain: ]
( For those of you that are interested - I have secured us a place at the Sauna. Free for us to be use without interruption from outsiders.
You are to be clean before you come in. )
[ Maybe you're here because she bullied you, maybe you want to soak - maybe you're the poor bastard that is standing guard at the door. Either way, welcome to the Suana, have fun. Or don't. ]

Yes, actually. I might not have immediately cared this much about Seth, but you-- When I care about someone, that extends to the people they care about.
[ It's one of many of her traits that have frustrated people over the years, especially when that care has made things more complicated or gotten them into trouble. But she could no sooner stop caring about those people than she could stop being a vampire. ]
I once had someone tell me my compassion is a gift. I try to embrace it.
no subject
It doesn't bother you. That it might not be your compassion.
no subject
I've been adjusting to so many weird new things lately, it's just another one on the list. Maybe I would be more bothered by it if I'd gotten to do the vampire and host thing separately, but it's all kind of just become one big blur of things I can't change and just have to learn to deal with.
no subject
Maybe he could admire that, if he let himself. But right in this moment, he doesn't want to.]
You remind me of someone. Someone we both knew.
[Clear enough, that she has to remind Seth of the same. Though Kate wouldn't have been so devoid of questions. Definitely wouldn't have fallen in with any of those groupie club kids who got high on gothic interiors and drank blood from tiny cuts made with sterilised razorblades, calling themselves "vampires". Richard can skip that, though the judgement's already there.]
When she died she told me there wasn't any love left. She'd given it all. [The words are plain, even as something in him stirs with the hurt of that memory. He hadn't even told Seth what Kate had said. And she was alive now, besides.] Something you might want to keep in mind, before you start caring too much about too many strangers.
[And drags Seth down with her, all over again.]
no subject
Frowning at Richard, her expression clearly states that she can't even comprehend that idea. It might be a viable option for others, but for her-- ]
Love is all I have left. Without it, I'll just be another monster.
[ She believes it, plain and simple, no room for negation. Her compassion is a gift. That's what Elijah had told her, and it's her compassion that's keeping her whole as she struggles to stay above water. It would be so easy to stop caring, to let go and give in to those base urges. But the second she does is the moment she becomes less, no better than Katherine. ]
no subject
And that was exactly his point.]
So keep hold of it. Or you'll get there sooner than you realise.
[But he can sense she's going to keep trying to fight him on this. Wilfully misunderstanding, denying, refusing to listen. He doesn't have the patience to stick around for it, so he's standing up out of the water, uncaring of his nudity (or perhaps using it) as he climbs smoothly out of the pool, walking away.]
no subject
It was nice meeting you too!
[ It's called after him with a healthy dose of sarcasm; this is not how she'd thought the conversation would go. What is it with brothers, anyway? And why do they seem to be her lot in life? ]
