the truth of it remains the same, its glare paralyzing: he is not her equal. she may reside next to him in the chain of command but her two patrons elevate her, allowing her more power, control, and leniency than they could afford.[break][break]

"it is not a boast."[break][break]

he meets her glare, steadfast in his resolve.[break][break]

"but perhaps that is my ego talking, hm?"[break][break]

"That leaves two possibilities."[break][break]

Slowly she turned back to face him, wiping the dirt from where she'd knelt on the ground. Despite the invisible tension that manifested between them, her voice remained level.[break][break]

"Either you believe you are to have an unusually high life expectancy," she began, brushing a strand of hair out of her eyes, "or you believe as an Avatar, I am doomed to die young like many others."[break][break]

A hardness entered her gaze, like flint before sparking to flame.[break][break]

"If it's the latter, I can't say you seem like you'd mourn me. Or the others."

BARNABY FINCH and howard slayte like this

[nospaces]

[attr="class","minimal elisa2"]

[attr="class","top"]

"Yes," she agreed softly, thoughts turning back to howard slayte and his unwavering faith in history. Maybe she wouldn't be mourned, but she'd be chronicled. All of them would be, to some degree. "When we die, we become just one tombstone among many."[break][break]

She didn't expect THEO BECKETT to mourn her. At this point, she didn't expect anyone to do so. Father Winter had shown a version of that timeline, and her death had only angered, never aggrieved those left in its wake.[break][break]

Another long pause fell. Her eyes trained themselves on the ground, refusing to meet his.[break][break]

"And Admin Bee?" she asked, eerily calm as she continued to speak. "Would you mourn him, should the Galarian Moltres pick at his bones and discard his rotting remains?"[break][break]

Did he love BARNABY FINCH, as she had? The way that she still, despite herself, continued to love him even now?

no one would mourn Elisabeth Fiorelli, that much he's sure of, the same way he's sure no one would mourn him. the realization of which no longer eats away at him; he'd accepted it long ago.[break][break]

surprise colors his expression at the mention of BARNABY FINCH.[break][break]

"ah, but that isn't what you want to know exactly, is it?"[break][break]

he pauses, questioning.[break][break]

"you want to know whether i love him the same way you do."[break][break]

"I suppose it's not my business, really. Forget I asked."[break][break]

She stared at the soil underfoot, marveling at how much energy had been wasted to create this false version of the world above them. People were strange like that. They wanted the comfort of things they understood, even if it made no sense to recreate them.[break][break]

"You'll be glad to know I no longer possess an anchor, him or otherwise."[break][break]

If he expected more detail on the fallout between her and the admin, she gave none. Instead her voice lowered, silencing the other thought she expected him to be bold enough to voice aloud:[break][break]

"Nor am I looking for one. I'm content to stand alone."

where she might be expecting to see his face break with the spoilers of victory, instead what she will find is a look most akin to despondence, as though he'd been wanting to hear something else entirely.[break][break]

the look is faint at best.[break][break]

she gives him nothing but he prods regardless.[break][break]

"Why does anything need to have changed?"[break][break]

The faint smile that graced her lips this time was genuine. She'd expected him to assume she'd driven the admin off, or at least he'd seemed to imply she would all those times before. It was oddly flattering that he hadn't.[break][break]

He'd certainly never approved of what BARNABY FINCH was to her. That hadn't changed, most likely.[break][break]

"We were on a path with a predetermined conclusion. It just came faster than I expected, that's all."[break][break]

She itched for a cigarette, but she stamped back the impulse in a submarine so far undersea -- in a garden, no less. The conversation demanded distraction. People sought pleasure in the midst of pain.[break][break]

"Nothing to do with you, if that's your concern. You should remain unaffected."

"Because you think so little of me?" she asked. "Or perhaps because you hold little attachment to him?"[break][break]

He didn’t understand things the way she did. Every time anyone drew close to her, one of two things was bound to occur: she would disappoint them, or they would disappoint her.[break][break]

In this case, both had been true.

he does not bother mincing his words, though they do lack the vigor she might have expected from him.[break][break]

"because you were never a factor to begin with, and that isn't a slight on you. my arrangement with him has always been separate."[break][break]

and it will, hopefully, continue to be separate, though to hear first of this change from her instead of BARNABY FINCH may be telling.[break][break]

She couldn't help it; she laughed at his confidence. Her smile had a gentle condescension to it, a pitying look that shone in her eyes.[break][break]

"Things have a way of affecting one another. Even when we think they don't."[break][break]

Her relationship with MATIAS SILPH had nothing to do with the one she'd shared BARNABY FINCH, but that hadn't changed the fact he'd been the instigator who'd left that relationship in ruins.[break][break]

"But I don't intend to cause inter-organization conflict over the matter. Whatever you two are to one another, I don't plan to interfere."[break][break]

She could, of course. She had, in fact, and with others she'd cared for less than the admin.[break][break]

But Bee had breached her trust as much as she had breached his. Whether or not he realized it.[break][break]

MATIAS SILPH might have instigated it but he was far from the cause of it. Elisabeth Fiorelli has no one else but herself to blame for that.[break][break]

her laughter is met with silence, but when met with a question, he does not shy away from it.[break][break]

"as far as i could tell, he was the only person you trusted."[break][break]

for that to change, something must have rattled the foundations enough to topple one of them, if not both.[break][break]

"That's correct."[break][break]

She remained still save for the gentlest tilt of her head, watching him with an indifferent sort of curiosity.[break][break]

To be untethered meant she owed nothing to anyone, save those Rocket tied her to out of obligation.[break][break]

Surely more of Rocket operated in this manner than they let on? For all THEO BECKETT spoke of anchors, his sign of paternal concern to jayden cross was setting the man on fire.[break][break]
