[alittlesweptup]

Oh hullo, that's something. Enjoy the show

As for mine: sullen and despondent seems to about cover it, though there's less risk of bodily fluids so I suppose I can't complain

[totallytrustworthy]

want 2 trade

[She might be sporting the faintest hint of a smile when she types it, but tacking on the usual obnoxious emote seems a bit much.]

[alittlesweptup]

How about this: I'll trade you all three of mine for one of yours. That's a bargain

four minutes late:

[totallytrustworthy]

find a way to bribe the guard and we'll make it happen darling

[alittlesweptup]

I'll see what I can do

[It's a joke, they both know that. Bullshit anyone's going to let them anywhere near one another. But typing it feels good anyway.]

[totallytrustworthy]

[Hurts and helps at the farthest, hottest points of the spectrum.]

any news on how long we're stuck in for

[alittlesweptup]

Not yet. They sent a lawyer in though

1/3

[totallytrustworthy]

great are they twelve?

2/3

[totallytrustworthy]

concussed?

3/3

[totallytrustworthy]

Saul?

1/2

[alittlesweptup]

Oh. Zed for three. That's painful

2/2

[alittlesweptup]

Some woman named Sonya. No bloody clue if she's trustworthy, but apparently she's what we've got

[totallytrustworthy]

I'll survive

solid defense?

[alittlesweptup]

She suggested taking a plea bargain. CI Small apparently has some very decent offers on the table

[He may have said no to as much, but there's no reason she's got to.]

[totallytrustworthy]

[Oh Charlie...]

and youre taking it?

[alittlesweptup]

No, but that doesn't mean no one has to

[totallytrustworthy]

cute

but not a chance

[alittlesweptup]

Why?

[Because he's pretty much three hundred percent sure he's being a fucking idiot.]

[totallytrustworthy]

we didnt start this together to finish alone Charlie

I mean

aside from the layers of steel between us

five minutes later:

[alittlesweptup]

Doubt anyone would be happy with plea bargains anyway. And I'm not planning to be assassinated by some lunatic who thinks they can do better

[totallytrustworthy]

[It's the first time she's felt like any of this is bearable. And it won't last, but Christ, it works for the moment.]

as if youd be the one to go

please Charlie I'm the better looking out of the two of us

[alittlesweptup]

[He barks out a laugh despite himself. God dammit.]

Fair enough

[If only he was more observant because this would be a great time to make a crack about 'That's not what Richard Lawson thinks tvym']

[totallytrustworthy]

[She wants to talk about something else. Start up idle conversation about what they've been up to or who they've seen, but the bottom line is that there's nothing: they've seen the same walls and the same faces, done the same thing day in and day out.

It takes a good five minutes of her lying in bed with her fingers to the keys before she decides to press beyond the superficial.]

promise me youll be careful though ok

[alittlesweptup]

[He knows instinctively he should turn it into some kind of joke. But he's seen the network posts just like she has. So:]

Sure. You as well

[totallytrustworthy]

[And saying 'I miss you' is too on the nose. It's direct in the sort of way that makes her feel like she's playing at something she'll never be cut out for. Then again they're in prison for being idealistic assholes; she's already guilty of playing pretend.]

for the record I don't regret it.

[And she doesn't just mean the mutiny.]
