ultron_juniorIt seemed to be a relatively quiet day -- no work, no classes, and no island drama to take up Victor's time.
Obviously, this meant he needed to sleep in. Once he'd finally gotten up, showered and dressed, it was late in the morning. Like the geek he was, he decided a good way to make use of the rest of his day was to organize his stockpile of comic books chronologically by title. They were jumbled together in a milk crate near his bed, which wasn't exactly the best solution.
If taking the comics out of the milk crate to sort them had turned into a marathon Ratman back issue reading session, well ... it wasn't like the project had a deadline.

Date: 2013-05-23 03:41 pm (UTC)A moment later, there was a set of knocks. They were tentative - Liara still wasn't certain whether this was the right course of action. But she was worried, and there had been topics, and she thought humans might consider it fair if--
Well.
Knocking.

Date: 2013-05-23 03:47 pm (UTC)Curiosity about why she was coming to his room got him to move a bit faster in opening the door.
"Hey," he said, once they were face-to-face. "What's up?"
no subject
Date: 2013-05-23 03:52 pm (UTC)Yes, Liara. Victor had been who you came here to see. "Hello. I... felt we should talk."

Date: 2013-05-23 04:11 pm (UTC)"She did?" Victor's stomach was a bit twisty from surprise and nerves, but it wasn't like he had any right to swear Karolina to secrecy -- even if trying to had occurred to him, which it hadn't. "How much? I mean -- you're here, so ... I'm guessing she didn't stop at the part where I accidentally smashed up some bleachers."

Date: 2013-05-23 04:18 pm (UTC)"No," she admitted. "I-- I am sorry. I simply thought it would be proper if you knew that I knew."
She glanced away. "Perhaps we should close the door."
[NFB]
Date: 2013-05-23 04:30 pm (UTC)He sat on his bed, hands on his lap. "Guess I should feel grateful you trust me enough to close the door." It was sardonic, a little bitter, but not entirely a lie.

Date: 2013-05-23 04:37 pm (UTC)He was jumping ahead a few steps, but it seemed a reasonable thing to surmise.
Re: [NFB]
Date: 2013-05-23 04:42 pm (UTC)If she sounded skeptical, it was because she was still not exactly on board with the concept of 'supervillains', 'supervillainy', or any equivalent thereof. It sounded like something from a bad Justicar serial, frankly.

Date: 2013-05-23 05:01 pm (UTC)Admittedly, it was still possible his AI would become somehow corrupted. She just chose not to take that as anything approaching a certainty.
Re: [NFB]
Date: 2013-05-23 05:05 pm (UTC)"Yeah, I'd -- rather know when other people know. 'Some distress' is the nice way to put how I feel about the whole thing, y'know? So ... thanks?"
That was a very tentative thanks.
Re: [NFB]
Date: 2013-05-23 05:11 pm (UTC)That was a very certain 'you're welcome'.
"Will Karolina be all right?"
That slipped out before she could stop it from doing so.
Re: [NFB]
Date: 2013-05-23 05:50 pm (UTC)He scratched a hand through his hair. "Feels weird telling you stuff she's never asked me about," he added apologetically.

Date: 2013-05-23 08:16 pm (UTC)Those were pretty big Issues.
Re: [NFB]
Date: 2013-05-23 08:21 pm (UTC)Victor couldn't say the same about the other Issue, though.
"And the criminals --- she's good at it. Really."
Re: [NFB]
Date: 2013-05-23 08:25 pm (UTC)"Did you join them?" she asked.
Re: [NFB]
Date: 2013-05-23 08:30 pm (UTC)He still wasn't sure there had been.

Date: 2013-05-23 08:49 pm (UTC)An awkward silence ensued on Liara's end. She was terrified of somehow offending him.
Re: [NFB]
Date: 2013-05-23 08:57 pm (UTC)He looked sheepish as he spoke; he was fairly certain Liara didn't care about his girl drama.

Date: 2013-05-23 09:06 pm (UTC)Re: [NFB]
Date: 2013-05-23 09:10 pm (UTC)They were getting a little far from the topic of Victorious, but Victor wasn't exactly eager to dive back into those waters.
Re: [NFB]
Date: 2013-05-23 09:14 pm (UTC)As for this concept - Liara just blinked. "Should there be drama?"
Re: [NFB]
Date: 2013-05-23 09:50 pm (UTC)Re: [NFB]
Date: 2013-05-24 04:14 am (UTC)And she wasn't exactly a social superstar even on Thessia.
Re: [NFB]
Date: 2013-05-24 02:29 pm (UTC)Victor shuffled his feet along the ground, looking for something more to say. "Well ... maybe it's easy for some people."
