not long after her release from solitary:

[totallytrustworthy]

suppose my denial didnt stop you in the end

for whatever its worth darling: I'm sorry

about everything

[pixieboots]

but you're still getting out right ?

[ he hasn't checked the network yet. ]

no i'm sorry okay i shouldn't have said anything
you were right i messed up

[totallytrustworthy]

already done and dealt with darling. I'm officially free as a bird

a bird with a hired nanny

and nah. the mistakes were on our end. should never have roped you into this mess

[pixieboots]

yeah i got the nanny gig too. probably for good since i'm a kid.

look if you really want to know the truth you didn't rope me in. i had a plan before we even left exsilium the first time. i just didn't know how to pull it off in times to save the exiles.

but eventually i was going to do something whether i ran into you guys or not

[totallytrustworthy]

had a feeling you might say something like that.

do you regret it though? any of it

[pixieboots]

just the part where people got hurt
that's why i thought i had to say something

[ and it hurts to type that, because as much as he cares about Steph saying that is as good as admitting where the line always was. how unworthy of Chloe's trust he really had been. ]


when you said that wasn't supposed to happen you meant it right

[totallytrustworthy]

youre smart enough to put those pieces together yourself darling

if wed wanted people wounded to make a bloody point we could have done it right from the start. last I checked more of ours were bruised than any of them

or worse

[pixieboots]

i know



i just really thought we had a shot

[totallytrustworthy]

we did darling

and we didnt waste it

[pixieboots]

yeah we did. you had to cool your heels in the big house and now that's it. we tried to break the system they had and now they know not to listen to us again.

3 minutes later

[totallytrustworthy]

[Jesus that stings, if only for the fact that he's not entirely wrong.]

so let them be wary. doesnt mean that others wont come or that we have to sit and stay quiet whilst everything falls apart at the seams

[pixieboots]

yeah
i guess you're right.
i don't know what i'm saying.

[ it's been a pattern lately. ]

it has to mean something that they let you out of jail right ?
they know it would have been wrong to let you keep stewing until nobody was around to remember what happened.

[totallytrustworthy]

everyone loses their footing from time to time sweetheart. no shame in it

and yeah though I cant imagine it was all out of the goodness of their hearts it certainly could have been worse. gives us a second chance that we cant afford to toss out yeah

[pixieboots]

so then what comes next ?

[ He doesn't deserve an honest answer, but there he is deep down hoping for one anyway. ]

[totallytrustworthy]

first we need to make sure everyone down on earth isnt you know dead or starving or in danger of spending their waking hours out in the cold

after that I'm aiming to touch base with the new initiative. see where the lines cross and whatnot

if youve any other ideas about what ought to be done or you catch wind of anything you know I'm all ears though

[pixieboots]

okay. i'll keep you posted.

[ that she'd say that at all means something. ]

there's always a chance they're not so bad right ?

[totallytrustworthy]

the new initiative or the other transports

[It's a joke. Mostly.]

[pixieboots]

i guess they're kind of the same thing now

[ at least as far as making them feel safe and welcome. ]

[totallytrustworthy]

knew you were as sharp as they come sweetheart

good luck
