"you're right, both must be maintained, but i know little of legends and deities; people, i know."

and if he cannot control deities, then that leaves him with only one option; she walks away from him but his gaze follows her, traveling like her shadow.

"they should not have to navigate it alone."

that is exactly what he has been trying to articulate to her and to other avatars—that they don't have to suffer in silence or to bind themselves to one sole handler. the more they open themselves up, the better chance they have of surviving.

She could feel his stare lingering behind her, but she didn't turn around to face him. Instead she kept forward at a dauntless pace, static clinging to her hair and clothes as she attempted to navigate through the strange environment.[break][break]

"Tell me something then, Beckett."[break][break]

An amused hum passed through her, resonant as the whirring machinery around them as she smiled despite herself. This thought shouldn't have entertained her as much as it did, yet here she was, thoroughly entertained.[break][break]

"If you understand people so well," she asked, sparing a glance over her shoulder, "then why do you give me so many reasons to distrust you?"[break][break]

His efforts to endear her to him had failed to almost comical proportions, to her mind.

"it isn't so much about me. i imagine whatever i offer will be taken the same way."

a realization BARNABY FINCH helped him come to after recent discussions shared over warm, intimate candlelight.

"what you think keeps you safe is actually doing the opposite. i know you don't trust anyone, fiorelli; save for barnaby, perhaps; but you cannot operate this way for long."

what theo stubbornly refuses to accept is his strong, aggressive disposition against their avatars may also prove to be his downfall.

"I don't have to trust you to play nice with you," she countered, wiping her hands of the static cling. "I can perform my work without giving you more than professional distance and competency, wouldn't you say?"[break][break]

An unwanted memory of the other underboss reentered her mind's eye, the way he chuckled low and deep as she denied his advances. It infuriated her to recall.[break][break]

Her hands tightened into fists.[break][break]

"If anything, you're the one who's been acting unprofessionally."

unprofessionally? he has been accused of many things but that may be the first.

"how so?"

he is quick to question, standing his ground to fight a battle he knows he can win, though he suspects he would have fought regardless should she be on the opposing end, his GRUDGES for her running deep.

"are you referring to the time you toyed with me while i was poisoned?"

"You know what you did," she said simply. "I don't need to remind you of it."[break][break]

She'd toyed with him, true, but hadn't he done the same? He'd toyed with her in other ways, mocking her competency and her mental stability, and then insulting her by attempting to manipulate her into his bed.[break][break]

"Just accept that I have no desire to rely on you, Beckett. Let us be coworkers and nothing more."

potent toxins may have been flowing through him at the time but he remembers, the rattling of chains on his straightjacket helping him recall.

not much has changed since then.

"you continue to be afraid."

he states, continuing without misisng a beat.

"did it bother you? when i told you i thought of you."

a pause.

"i still do."

Her heels clacked against the metal platforms as they continued onwards, the portal coming into sight.[break][break]

"You're doing it again," she reminded him tiredly, refusing to meet his gaze. "The unprofessionalism."[break][break]

She toyed at the Pokeball holding her newly caught Celesteela, rotating it in her fingers as she considered her final comment.[break][break]

"Which, yes, did bother me."
