no subject
( he laughs at that one because of course. he appreciates that she's going to play along with him a bit. )
What would be more desirable than being friends with me?
no subject
Driving the Rocinante.
[ steering? captaining? is this the proper word? ]
no subject
( yes, he thinks she could probably do it but he's not going to be responsible for her flying them into a planet or something. he shakes his head. )
No way. I see you up there, you don't need to pilot the Roci. You can fly.
no subject
But the Roci — [ it sounds strange to her to not say the full name. ] — is in space, and I've never captained a spaceship before.
[ she's learned how to drive. now, it's time she learns how to drive a ship. seems fair, no? ]
I think it could be fun bossing you around.
no subject
( amos rolls his eyes. holden might be his captain but even holden doesn't get to boss him around. he's his own man and he does what he wants.
she might be pretty but she's not going to boss him around either. )
You're good but you're not that good.
no subject
We'll see.
[ peering above his head, she sees the blue skies of westview. she doesn't particularly want to see the hex come down. it's too much to see it when she relives it every time she goes to sleep. ]
I think this is ending. [ she's making it end before she can see the boys and vision. she won't be able to leave if she turns around and spies them approaching. ]
no subject
( he points up at the sky, towards the area where the other witch had been. )
Did you just let her go? Be friends or something?
no subject
while wanda wants to look away, she doesn't. she has to own what she did to agatha. it's a punishment that fits the crime. ]
When she came here, she pretended to be the nosy neighbour. Before I left here, I made her believe she was the nosy neighbour. She lives here still, playing a role from a television series. [ in simpler terms: ] I manipulated her mind.
no subject
( right, that's something she can do. he looks at her for a long moment before nodding. )
Why not just kill her? Leaving her alive means she could do something like this again.
no subject
[ she's killed enough of them by accident. it's not her way, even if it would make things simpler. ]
I think a part of me knew I'd need her later. She's a very old witch and I'm very new to it. And she's the only witch I know.
[ it has to come in handy sometime in the future, surely. ]
Maybe it's silly to keep her alive.
no subject
( she's powerful, sure, but she's still human. she has weaknesses. amos crosses his arms and shrugs. )
Your life, though. Your choice.
no subject
[ agatha is a dangerous person to keep alive, but she's also burning with knowledge. wanda has a feeling agatha will be useful and friendly sometime in the near future. ]
I'd offer to take you on a tour, but I fear if I do I might never want to leave.
no subject
( somehow.
he sighs and looks around. )
Seems...okay.
no subject
[ she isn't surprised. she thinks amos likes space, all the darkness, the lack of being grounded so permanently. she thinks he's someone who likes to move about and not be trapped.
amos is definitely not mike brady. ]
It's very... [ her brows furrow as she considers her words. ] Do you know the Patridge Family?
no subject
( at her question, he shakes his head. )
No, they friends of yours?
no subject
Kind of. They're a fictional family—a TV show I used to watch when I was younger. Everything in their world was perfect. Not a hair out of place.
[ to her, anyway. there was clutter and mess and problems, but to wanda, it was perfect. ]
I wanted this place to be like that.
no subject
( but hey, if that's what she wants, he's not going to argue. he scrubs a hand over his face. )
I didn't really watch television when I was younger. Even if I did, I don't think they had these shows.
no subject
[ her brows lift in surprise. sokovia had little, but what it had kept wanda afloat in times of distress. it's strange to her to think not everyone had the brady bunch to keep them company or the addams family to encourage them to be weird. ]
Maybe I will make you sit and watch an episode one day.
[ the memory begins to fade. ]
no subject
( not like his thing. he wouldn't doubt that she'd figure out a way to get him to watch but still. )
I might fall asleep.
no subject
[ she reaches her hand up and moves it in front of his face as if she does have a marker. ]
It's what you get for falling asleep during one of the most important shows of our generation.
[ she's lying.
kardashians is probably one of the most important. a guide on what not to do—and how to build an empire. ]
no subject
( since there's not too many people that would dare to do that. )
Pretty impressive.
no subject
[ or she tries to. westview had been proof that she had merely placed it in the vessels of everyone else.
she shrugs her shoulders, though the movement isn't to be dismissive. it's merely stating what she feels is a fact. ]
What is there to fear? You won't hurt me.
[ it's not can't. not many people can hurt wanda. but she doesn't think amos would choose to. ]
no subject
( he's hurt people that he's liked before whether intentionally or not. )
Why do you believe in me like that?
