Room 421, Friday Afternoon

[angelo_wings]

Rinoa was reading. Okay, that wasn't true. Rinoa was trying to read, though. It was a book she already knew. It was one she loved and had read several times already, which was perfect for those times when it was hard to concentrate, because it didn't matter if your eyes kept reading the same sentence over and over again and not seeing it.

Which is exactly what hers were doing.

She tossed the book down with a sigh. Maybe she'd take a nap. Maybe she'd ... something.

Lindsay could tell this was very important to Rinoa. She was also glad to have her blessing to run. Lindsay knew her limitations, fight skills among them. "Believe me, if something goes wrong, I will not try to fight. I would find help, though. You have my word on that."

[no problem at all!]

"Thank you," she said. "I ... it won't come to that. I won't let it. But she controlled me once before."

She shuddered, trying not to remember how that had felt.

"You ... you're not in any danger," she said. She hoped, anyway. "It's all become so ... complicated. A year ago I was just ... I was someone else entirely. I was just me."

"I can't even imagine how frustrating this is for you," Lindsay said sympathetically. "But I know you are still you, even if someone else is there. You're still my awesome roommate."

[So sorry! This is the first chance I've had to get online. And I don't mind ending the thread here if you are drowning in plotty stuff. I totally would understand!]

"I feel like she's ... leaking in," Rinoa confessed. "There are times when I react to things and I know it's not me. She hates Squall. She hates most of the people I know. And she tries to make me think I can't trust anyone."

(no worries about being offline!! and actually plot seems to be almost done :O :O :O so plot-flail is over! but thank you for asking zomg!)

Lindsay frowned at that. The thought of something taking such control of anyone was frightening. "I'm glad she didn't stop you from trusting me enough to tell me what's going on. And you can always talk to me about anything, even if I can't do much to help. I can, at least, listen."
