Regret bit into her. Teeth gnawing on flesh, Penelope's eyes were forced shut, a method to cleanse the mind of built-up emotion.

"sounds like you've had a hell of time lately."
[break][break]
More than anti-climatic, his distant words reaffirmed the twisted fears that sought after her every night. That she was utterly alone.
[break][break]
CIAN MAHER, try as he might, could never understand the taxing burden that came from her position or the perilous world she'd thrown herself into. And now, after hearing her words, there was no denying the distance that split herself from Greyson Connors, too.
[break][break]
"Sorry," she breathed, his chuckle spreading to her, "Didn't mean to lay that all out on you."
[break][break]
There was a small pause and her thoughts searched for an escape.
[break][break]
"Was there anything else you wanted to talk about?"

where greyson sees the ghost of distance, greyson processes the nuclear bomb that'd been laid at his feet. he'd come here, unable to process the confusion and anger, only to find his emotions under even more of a flux.
[break][break]
"i'm.. sorry," he says, ignoring her question. "i.. kind-of wasn't expecting that. i came here, ready to be upset with you, and then you dropped.. that."
[break][break]
he lets out a breathe.
[break][break]
"i didn't realize you were dealing with so much."

Like a turtle who'd just been privy to the danger looming around the corner, Penelope kept shelled up inside, head shrunk into the safety of her shell.
[break][break]
"It's fine," she lied, a placid smile settling on her lips. "It comes with the job, I guess."
[break][break]
In some ways, Penelope found that response accurate detailing what it felt like working under the league. Shit happens, but it's to be expected. It's a rite of passage, even. It's just, normally, one wouldn't face it alone. As she had.
[break][break]
"Why were you expecting to be upset with me? Because of Cian?"

[break][break]
"no, penny, it really doesn't. dying isn't in the job description."
[break][break]
he needed her to understand that. [break][break]inevitably, though, it softens once more, deflating beneath a weight of his own doing.
[break][break]
"yeah, about cian. you know i don't like it when people lie to me."

"yeah, well, it happened."
[break][break]

And there was no changing that fact.
[break][break]

No turning back time and choosing a different ending for that expedition or the life she had carved for herself. Sometimes, especially at night, she had grown to regret her decisions, craving for the naivety that used to narrow her gaze like blinders. Back then, it was easier to swallow the events of the world with a sip of hope, but now? Reality was too grim to ignore.

"I never lied, greyson. I genuinely didn't know - which, I know, is stupid as hell, but is the truth."

Cast him aside for decisions made by his father? That'd be no different than someone using Penelope's past to discredit her current position. Worse, even.

Greyson's response came as no surprise. Still, Penelope maintained her stance, stilling against the calls of action.
[break][break]
"Who would that help? He has already suffered enough, and besides, the public will serve as punishment enough."
[break][break]
If CIAN MAHER wasn't the topic of their discussion, her response would've been different. He should know this, and beneath all the words she spilled, she did as well.
[break][break]
"Dahlia signed off on him becoming a gym leader, as well."

"suffered enough?" his voice rises an octave involuntarily, but he doesn't seem to notice. "you don't survive in rocket as long as he did without earning it."
[break][break]

did it matter whether or not he was 'coerced' by his father? not if he'd harmed others. CIAN MAHER was a grown man. he didn't get to play that excuse.
[break][break]

"i don't care what dahlia goode said - that doesn't excuse him."

"You're right."
[break][break]

Somehow, only in the sanctity of her own office space, with none other than her closest friend, could she admit the biting truth that'd been gnawing at her since the day it all came tumbling out.
[break][break]

For so long, CIAN MAHER had played her as a fool. Whispering honeyed promises while actively supporting an organization hellbent to destroy everything she'd ever stood for. Sure, she trusted the fact that their missions never aligned with his own, but that didn't erase the implications of his involvement. It didn't take away the hurt he'd caused, not only for herself, but the people affected by the organization's actions.
[break][break]

"But I can't."
[break][break]

She loved him too much to hurt him.

"that's okay," he says, voice soft and steady. straightening in his chair, greyson places both hands on his knees and pushes himself to his feet.
[break][break]
his expression is not one of sympathy, but something else entirely.
[break][break]
anger. cold determination. acceptance.
[break][break]
he moves to the door, his voice coming from over his shoulder.
[break][break]
"i can."
