[There's a moment of silence before she speaks. Vie's voice is a little less happy than usual.]

Tony. You and I need to talk.

[It takes a long time for him to answer her. A very long time.]

Yes?

[He should have expected this, really.]

[Audio]

[gotyourwallet.livejournal.com]

This conversation is too open.

[Damn not knowing how to lock things.]

I'd prefer to speak with you in private.

[Audio]

[suave-liar.livejournal.com]

[There's some more silence on his end, then a very audible sigh.]

Vie, love, do we have to? I'm really not up for this right now.

[Audio]

[gotyourwallet.livejournal.com]

Really, neither am I.

[Do you want to piss her off more?]

However, I think now is the perfect time. It's just a talk, Tony.

[Lie. Lie. Lie.]

[Audio]

[suave-liar.livejournal.com]

Just a talk. [He's heard that one before.]

[Another sigh, this time with a note of defeat in it rather than frustration.]

Fine. Where?

[Audio]

[gotyourwallet.livejournal.com]

The usual place.

[Audio]

[suave-liar.livejournal.com]

Alright.

(ooc: Shoooouuuuld we just switch on over to commentlog?)

[It's a good thing the temple is back in action, or Vie's meeting place wouldn't quite of worked. When Tony arrives she's leaning against the stone wall, arms folded and looking a little distracted.]

[Commentlog]

[suave-liar.livejournal.com]

[Tony takes his time getting there, not exactly eager for another conversation of this sort. When he does arrive, he seems agitated, shifting from foot to foot and not yet really looking Vie quite in the face.]

I'm here. Just say what you have to. C'mon, then.

[Commentlog]

[gotyourwallet.livejournal.com]

[She's surprised he actually came. Vie looks him head on and pushes off the wall. The girl moves towards him at a leisurely pace but stops a few feet short, just out of reach.]

I want to hear your side of things. Truth. No lies, no charm.

[Commentlog]

[suave-liar.livejournal.com]

[No lies and no charm? That's all he's got.]

Sw- ... Vie, I don't think there's much to be told that already hasn't been. The kid fell, I stopped to see if he was alright, he wouldn't answer- so, yes, I gave him a bit of a shake. That was wrong, I admit that was wrong, but I just... I wasn't right that day. We all have those days, eh?

And then Mimmi got involved, and it- it all just went way out of control. It just spun out; blew up. That's all.

[Commentlog]

[gotyourwallet.livejournal.com]

[She almost looks forgiving until he gives his reason why. Vie shakes her head, stance shifting ever so slightly. She might be small, but she's stronger than she looks and can move pretty quickly when she wants to. Lucky for Tony, all he receives is a death glare.]

No. Bad day or not, there are things you just don't do. Shaking a child. What in fa'rein kelos is that supposed to solve?

[Commentlog]

[suave-liar.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I wasn't exactly thinking rationally, Vie. [His tone and stance were getting noticeably tenser, so he stopped, closing his eyes and taking in a breath before opening them again.]

I've apologized for what I did- more than once. I don't know what else I can do.

[He's not going to mention what he did to Mimmi if he can help it.]

[Commentlog]

[irredemption.livejournal.com]

Of course I didn't give my side! Look at the way you're acting now- how you were acting then! You'd already decided my guilt. Forgive me for not having the heart to play along. [He makes a mocking little bow.]

[Commentlog]

[gotyourwallet.livejournal.com]

Fa'rec, mar si unaseu.

[She's sounds tired, frustrated when she mutters her Kirovian. Vie rolls her eyes at his bow. If that's how he wants to play, then play they shall.]

Yes, it's all my fault. Aren't I terrible for putting poor little Tony in his place?

[Commentlog] WHAT'D SHE SAY? Translate, translate!

[irredemption.livejournal.com]

That's not what I'm saying and you know it. [He's starting to sound frustrated again, as well.]

[Commentlog] "FSCK! YOU ARE FRUSTRATING!! 8U"

[gotyourwallet.livejournal.com]

Enlighten me then, Tony.

Evidence against you is not in your favor. And after grabbing me as you did, I can't say I believe you when you said neither Mimmi or Link were hurt.

[Commentlog] Teehee!

[irredemption.livejournal.com]

Whatever evidence [The word is said with clear disgust, and he crouches a bit as he says it, making little quotations with his index and middle fingers.] you have is second-hand, Vie. You weren't there. For all you know, I didn't even touch them.

As for grabbing you? I think that was more than justified after your little move back there.

[Commentlog]

[gotyourwallet.livejournal.com]

Which is why I asked for your side of things in the first place!

As for my actions, I will take what punishment comes my way. Words don't seem to work with you, so force was worth a try. That was annoyed. Trust me Tony, you do not want to see me angry.

[Commentlog]

[irredemption.livejournal.com]

I told you- it was an off day, I did and said some things I probably shouldn't have, and it just got blown out of proportion. It's not that bloody hard to understand!

If that was annoyed, well- [Tony stops with a short laugh.] you've got yourself some problems that you need to sort out.

[Commentlog]

[gotyourwallet.livejournal.com]

You think I'm bad? May you never encounter my nahnzel'c.

[Really, she's the nice one of her team. Vie's expression darkens and she takes a few steps back.]

This conversation is going no where. I'm leaving. Don't go near them again.

[Vie turns to storm off.]

[Commentlog]

[irredemption.livejournal.com]

Yes, of course, walk away, now that you've had your fun.

[He shakes his head, turning away from her as well.]

But really, we should do this again sometime- it's been very enlightening!

[Commentlog]

[gotyourwallet.livejournal.com]

[She had been content to leave, to not say anymore and have no more to do with this man. And then he speaks his last words and her temper finally snaps. Vie turns, the motion fast and fluid, hand shifting to retrieve the mirror shard and fling it at him full force.

It's not a shot to kill, or severely wound, rather just to nick his arm as he retreats. The attack is a warning. Vie stills, assessing the result of her throw.]

[Commentlog]

[irredemption.livejournal.com]

[Tony had not expected that at all. Which is why he jumps and lets out a sharp yelp when the mirror shard slices through the left sleeve of his jacket and skin, starting the blood. Immediately, he stops walking, pressing his other hand to the cut and glancing at it as it comes away bloody. He's silent for a long moment, still, before he turns around to face Vie, any and all traces of kind emotion wiped completely from his face.]

Are you quite done?

Re: [Commentlog]

[gotyourwallet.livejournal.com]

[She's quiet as well, watching him carefully and awaiting his next move. Her expression is stern, stance strong and challenging, almost daring him to make a move.]

I am if you are. Don't push me, Tony.

[That said, she turns to resume her departure.]
