"Hey, this is Joker.  Leave a message and I might get back to you.  Unless you're trying to sell me something or I really just don't feel like talking to you-- in that case, take a hint and quit calling me."

[Being this close where her head could rise and fall with every breath her brother took, where she could hear his heartbeat and somewhat lose herself in the idea that as long as he was here, everything would turn out fine, lulled her into a sense of security that she hadn't allowed in far too long.]

[A while passed until Gunny trusted herself to speak, and even then it was through hiccups muffled by Joker's shirt. Her eyes were sore, no doubt red and puffy as well, so she kept them closed and focused once more on the rhythmic, if not somewhat strained thumping]


Don't be sorry.

Dad said... Dad said that the Alliance wouldn't have let you come get us. That they wouldn't tell you because you'd be on a mission involving family. S'not your fault.
withastick: (Sorry only goes so far)

[Gunny had no reason to disbelieve him, and couldn't help but mistake the guilt in his voice for sorrow, which, in turn, only provoked her own guilt for putting the blame on her brother when, as far as she knew, he didn't deserve it.]

M'Sorry you had to find out like this.

withastick: (let's go. please.)

[The tone made Gunny flinch for a moment, but, just as quickly, she relaxed. She was simply tired of the perpetual tenseness that came with anxiety and living in a constant state of nervousness]

[Outside of the occasional sniffle, she fell silent, counting on her brother's closeness to keep her calm for the time being]
withastick: (At least it can't get worse)

[Gunny's shuddering sighs quieted down after a while (minutes, hours, she couldn't tell), but the silence made her uneasy. Her fingers curled into the fabric of Joker's shirt while her tired mind tried to fill the lull with the first thing that came to it]

I'm scared, Jeff.

I don't want to go home.
