Siobhan hesitates for a moment at the waters edge, letting it roll over her bare feet. A shiver as the young woman draws in a deep breath of the salty air, letting it clear her mind. A hint of a smile as she decides; pulling off her top and squirming out of her shorts, tossing them onto the dry part of the sand before turning and wading into the water, enjoying it wash over her. Once waist deep, Sio dives forward into it, surfacing several feet away. After wiping the satly water from her face she begi ns to swim around in a wide circle, hoping to exhaust herself.

"Hey, Deci, it's okay." Ryne comforted, still at eye level as he kneeled down to her level in front of her, then pulled her close to comfort. " I expected you to try to talk me out of going, but not. a complete meltdown. You trying to guilt me into staying?"
Beth shrugged," I filed a story I had almost done a couple hours ago. I also sent my boss a request to transfer to the copy desk. A little less money, but I can do everything online, and it will give me more free time to help out. " She looked at Tom shyly," If you're okay with that?"
"I'm sure you can handle it, my love." ashley replied, then backed up a bit. " Go tend to things upstairs, it's not like I'm going anywheres. See what you can raid for leftovers from the fridge on your way back. Beth's not a bad cook, but see if anything Sierra made is there."
Once Siobhan was in the water, she got the feeling she was being watched again. Glancing towards the house, she could see someone in the window.

' . . he said that? i couldn't hear a thing. i think i zagged when i should have zigged . . and suddenly couldn't hear a thing. but i knew it was him that did it . . so i gave back what he gave me. but by then? . . i was furious and wanted to knead some bread and his face was the only bowl i could see . . . '
*she finishes wrapping the dough and slips them to Kristian 'freezer . . please. thanks' *she takes a deep breath to get her emotions in order and turns to look at him. 'mom would be mad i lost my temper. but you know, it really felt good screaming my anger at him. i wanted to do it a second time. that's the scary part. i really wanted to hurt him bad'

"No I am sorry Ryne. I know this is the day you are leaving, and possibly I am too." She says between tears realizing how selfish this must seem. "If you are able to leave the team, then I should be able to do so too. I mean, and I know I am the one that is in the wrong, but no one knows any police procedures or law. No wait I am not going down this road...." With that she takes some deep breathes and does her best to compose herself.
"I am here to see you off, as much as you would be one of the ones I want to stay, I know it is not going to happen. Knowing how this team is run, I am most likely out of here as well. And I am sorry you need not hear my problems anymore. I guess it would be me saying, good luck." With that if she excepts it, she gives him a hug and kiss on the cheek before returning to her room. Especially now that she is massively upset and knows you power contorl will be lost.

Long wakes up for a little bit with an urge to go to the bathroom. On his way back he makes a wrong turn and bumps into December. Noticing that she looks like she has been crying, "Hi. We have not been formerly introduced yet. My name is Long Fu. I hope you are feeling better since you got out of that dungeon. You look like you might need someone to talk too. I do not know what you have been through, but if you like I might be able to give you a fresh perspective. I have some experience in finding solutions that others would not think of."
Long offers his hand to shake.

Deci encountered by the new individual wipes her face quickly looks up trying to keep her composure. "I-i-i am December Winter. Pleasure to...it is nice to meet you Long Fu. And I doubt I would be any good at allowing a fresh perspective, unless you too had everything you have known turned upside down. I am guessing you are joining the team then." She seems shakey but doing her best to remain composed.
(OOC - There is a pic under her character sheet, but she has a PB - 25 if that helps for visual)

(OOC - Just for reference, this is what Long looks like. Combine the muscles from the first picture with the height and face of the second picture. Except that he is wearing pajamas.   ) "Yes, as a matter of fact Trevor and I were framed for murdering someone. I am now a fugitive from the FBI and also from my own precinct. My life is gone in one afternoon because of Rusty. Isamu and Ashley say they can get the charges dropped and clear our names. I hope they are right. As for joining the team, I do not know. I had not given it much thought. It is possible. I guess we will just have to see how things turn out. So, what happened to you that everything got turned upside-down?" |

"I-i-i... prob ably should not say at all. I am sorry it is just that what I went through was very, very private. I am sorry, I just don't think it would be appropriate. But that is OK though." She says still trying to choke back the tears. "Lets just say life sucks! And I will probably be leaving here soon anyway the way the management of this team works."

Long is deeply concerned now. He has seen talk like this before with people who had given up all hope.
"What do you mean you'll be 'leaving'? Where would you go?"

"Home to my Dad, or to Canada with my Mom. That is if they don't get back together. Maybe go to another trip to the Antarctic for another science exploration. Somewhere where I matter, where my knowledge matters. Where people actually work as a team and the leaders know how to lead. Where I can be who I am, and make a difference. Either that or just go back to school, and finish my phd like both my parents. I don't know though. Maybe Canada where all is nice and people make sense and are friendly. I really don't care. Anywhere but here!" Starting to lose control over her powers from how upset she is the temp in the area starts to drop.

Isamu smiles at Ashley, "I am sure Sierra is cooking something. I will be sure to bring it. See you soon my love."
Isamu then heads up stairs and towards the conference room. Unless he run's into anyone along the way, he will head straight for Avery. Stepping up to him, "how are the three of them coming along with their statements," referring to the three he left behind in the room.

Tom reaches his hand up to Beth's cheek. "I like it just fine."

"Deci..." December heard her name from the other room with a warning tone. Ryne lumbered out, towering well over Long with a groan. "Running away didn't solve anything the first time, did it? Look, I don't really have much choiceto go or not because Mac wants me to lead another team, or help groom the leader to take my place." He looked at Long, then raised a brow," Long, I've got a job for you. December here needs someone to keep an eye out for her and someone she can go to if something comes up while I'm gone and she can't reach me by phone. think you could do that for me?"
Beth smiled. "I was hoping you'd say that, Mr. Turco. Perhaps when things settle, I'll go back to writing my own stories, but for now I'm content. did you need my help anything?" she asked, her tone a bit suggestive.
As he headed for the conference room, Isamu had spotted Avi leaning against the window watching something on the beach while Raig and Panel were finishing their reports. Deci was nowheres to be seen. avi turned, "Deci needed some space, so Ryne is keeping an eye on her. Long crashed and Trevors down in the rec room shooting pool. "

"If that would be ok with December then absolutely."
Turning to Deci, "Anything you need. If it is within my ability to do so, you got it."

Sio notes the watcher in the back of her mine, continuing her circular 'laps' in the warm, salty water; swimming was a passion of hers, or at least it was when she was a student... being rocked by the gentle swell of waves, the near-weightless bouyancy was more than a little relaxing.
After perhaps ten minutes of this, the petite blonde makes her way b ack to shore, stepping out into the sand then lowering herself to sit; across her bared form, a number of her rather normal-looking tattoos are glowing faintly, luminescent pale greens, pinks and purples highligthing the inked images. Not even remotely self-concious, Sio draws her feet up a bit to hug her arms around her knees, gazing out at the water quietly, letting the warm breeze dry her.
