watching_youAs the sun sets, Veronica sits at the desk in her room, staring out the window at nothing. Though it's becoming darker in the room, she makes no move to turn on her lamp, despite the fact that soon it will be quite difficult to read the book spread open across her lap.
Truthfully, she hasn't even glanced at the book in over an hour.

"I would've done it mid- or post-adventure in Marrakech, but I was still seeing Lil at the time."

Date: 2007-03-14 04:14 am (UTC)"Yeah. That's what I figured."
"Not that I needed to offer anything beyond my rugged good looks, keen mind, and irresistable charisma, of course."

Date: 2007-03-14 04:58 am (UTC)"Fine."
He lets out a half-snort, half-chortle.
"If you're gonna rely on Lilly's word and three movies for a value judgment on what you're missing out on, there's not much more I can do."
no subject
Date: 2007-03-16 07:24 pm (UTC)"Besides, your movies were depressingly PG."
no subject
Date: 2007-03-16 07:32 pm (UTC)He tries to keep the playful air intact, while also cultivating a look of pending grievance.

"But, hey... it's your loss."

Date: 2007-03-16 07:51 pm (UTC)"You should prob'ly cite the result of this conversation on your dating resume. Withstood the charming advances of Indiana Jones."
He gives her a sage nod.
"It's a pretty impressive feat, y'know."
no subject
Date: 2007-03-16 08:05 pm (UTC)"And also the fact that you're, uh, too old for me."
no subject
Date: 2007-03-16 08:24 pm (UTC)"As if the rejection itself wasn't bad enough. You had to twist the knife, didn't ya?"

Date: 2007-03-16 08:34 pm (UTC)"Good save."
no subject
Date: 2007-03-16 08:42 pm (UTC)"You know me. Good at thinking on my feet."
no subject
Date: 2007-03-16 08:58 pm (UTC)He smiles at her, and after a moment's consideration, he moves on, adopting a slightly more careful tone.
"On a less frivolous note, you, erm, had any more panic attacks since... that night?"

Date: 2007-03-18 10:34 pm (UTC)"Well, shit. 'Scuse me for caring."
no subject
Date: 2007-03-19 04:10 pm (UTC)Her laugh is very flat.
The shadows in the room, taking cue from the sun, are shifting: the last rays of light play across the couch, across Indy. With Veronica, on the other hand, it's gotten to the point that if she leans back enough - as she does now - her face is entirely in darkness.
"From where I'm sitting, it looks less like 'caring' and more like 'judging whether Vee has lost it'."
no subject
Date: 2007-03-19 06:01 pm (UTC)"There must be real bad perspective from where you're sitting."
no subject
Date: 2007-03-20 03:17 am (UTC)"If there's something wrong with the way I'm reading things, why are you so defensive all of a sudden?"
no subject
Date: 2007-03-20 03:41 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2007-03-20 05:26 am (UTC)The only indication that she's even still paying attention rests in the motion of Veronica crossing her arms.
no subject
Date: 2007-03-20 05:50 am (UTC)"That's real nice, Vee."
"Real nice."
