[vesting]

Very cute. Sweet, even.

Hm, in this case you should listen to what Bob says about me. Not that I want to kill you. I would have said marry. But now you don't get that, you don't get anything for assuming I would trap you. [ sticks her nose up in the air. hmph. ]

[nardil]

So you think I'm cute, sweet and someone who'd be good in a marriage.

No offense - [ Oh, this means he's definitely going to say something offensive... ] - but are you nuts? I'm not complaining, I like it when girls are unhinged. I just need to know what I'm working with.

[vesting]

No, I thought that. Past tense.

[ yelena once again feigns shock. how dare you! you rat! you scoundrel! there's an edge of amusement to her expression though because yelena likes people with guts. ]

That is so rude for you to call me nuts. You don't even know me. You must have a death wish, Joshua Washington.

[nardil]

Oh, so I already educated you? Funny, it usually takes longer.

[ As for the last comment, he just shrugs, smiles and spreads his hands in front of him. ]

Can't have a proper death wish if you're mostly unkillable, just saying.

[vesting]

You're a cocky little shit. [ she says with a laugh. it's both infuriating and charming. game recognize game. ]

Mostly unkillable? [ she raises an eyebrow. ] Explain.

[nardil]

[ He has game? News to him, he just considers it liking to fuck around and find out. He's got a passion for the process. ]

Nah, I don't think I will. I don't want anyone taking it as a challenge if they overhear.

[vesting]

[ they're in the same business of fucking around to find out. she recognizes that and respects it. which also means, they're likely the two worst people to unite forces. ]

Fine. Keep your secrets. [ she understands hiding your past, actually. ]

[nardil]

All you need to know is my secrets aren't going to put anyone in the Tower in danger. I'm more careful than that.

[ He figures she's the particular kind of person that should be assured of that. Whether or not they end up 'joining forces'. ]

[vesting]

Okay, I trust you for now. But only because Bob does.

[nardil]

Yeah, I'd rather step on five hundred nails and get aggressive tetanus than break that guy's trust.

Don't worry about it.

[vesting]

[ she laughs because same. ] Yeah, he has that affect.

[nardil]

I don't like it. Or that's what my brain says.

But my heart is into it more than anything.

[ And him, he doesn't say out loud, but it's too damn obvious on Josh's face. ]

[vesting]

It's better to not fight it. [ yelena gets that urge though. bob is disarming in a way she's never really experienced. and she's happy for him, with whatever this thing with josh is. ]

If you start pulling away he'll think it's him and if you've ever see him sad, let me tell you, it's gut wrenching.

[nardil]

No, I've - I've seen that.

We were both pretty messed up with sadness when we met.

I told myself I'd do everything to make sure he never fell that far again.

Not sure I'm really getting it right.

[vesting]

What? When? Where the hell was I? Why was he sad?? [ yelena is suddenly very worried. why was bob sad? he's not allowed to be sad. ]

[nardil]

It's not really my story to tell.

Let's just say someone payed for him to travel the world and look for whatever he was looking for, and it felt like the only damn thing to do to stop seeing him like that.

Had no fucking clue it'd get him in whatever that experiment was.

[vesting]

[ yelena is silent for a very long time. she wants to be angry and she feels it... but bob is an adult and he made his choices. she grits her teeth, jaw clenching visibly. ]

Right. I didn't know that.

[nardil]

You don't really know any of it. I doubt I'd know if he had a choice.

I've spent years convincing him he's slightly worthy of affectionate. Now I've got help.

Hopefully it'll get better faster, quicker with you guys around.

[vesting]

That's not how healing works. [ yelena knows bob has a long way to go. but she's willing to help him because she has a long way to go too. ]

But he will get there eventually.

[nardil]

Hell if I know anything about how it works, I don't have experience achieving anything like that for myself.

Just a few dreams about how I hope it works out for everyone else.

[vesting]

Well, it takes time. [ a lot of it. their whole lives from what she's heard. really pissed her off the first time too. ] It won't be easy or quick... but I know Bob can do it... We all can.
