[ he says nothing, but she's going to keep eyeing him suspiciously because that nothing sounds a whole lot like something, and he's not sharing. she tips up her head up in preemptive defiance, and narrows her eyes but doesn't poke at him any further. ]

Two nights ago.

[ that's a lie, she's never not going to pick at him or on him. one month with her uncle and grandmother has her drawling like a cocksure aussie. ]

Didn't you notice Jaz doesn't have Max anymore?

[ this is a nice, safe, casual conversational topic they can discuss at length without anyone getting angry or anyone getting hit. ]

Yeah, he is, [ she agrees with more pride than any parent could ever have in their child. ] He might eat your homework, but I trained him to do that, so I'm not gonna apologize.

[ and then because she's a nervous parent who glances back up her lengthy driveway: ]

He really wasn't any trouble?

[ way to ruin her cheerful demeanor, chuck goes from joking to serious and jetlagged and murderous in about 0.004 seconds. ]

I helped my uncle gut a crocodile last week, and could sure as hell do the same thing to you if you tried.

[ she's brandishing a postcard from her dad's london friend at him like she'd use the edge of the card paper to do it. ]

Yeah, you get it. [ chuck's mean, and nodding at him like he's an idiot in need of a great deal of condescension. but at least she's dropped the arm brandishing the post card, right? no paper cuts for raleigh becket today, folks. though she seems to have grown tired of entertaining his lesser intelligence, and tucks the mail securely up under her arm before turning back towards her house. ]

I'll be keeping an eye on you, [ she tosses over her shoulder as a belated thought. ] See you around, Ray.

What's that, Ray? Didn't hear you there? [ though she very obviously did, and it's very obviously only the month long stint of relaxing (ha) family time in australia, where she heard all variations of her name and is thus temporarily desensitized that has her not biting his head off. she's not even looking at him, thumbing through the mail and eventually ripping open the letter (technically addressed to her dad) about next years school supplies. ]

[ she hums as if to say that's what i thought, but is scanning down the list of required reading appraisingly and is momentarily distracted from their play; stops walking long enough to shove the letter under his nose. ]

Did you ever end up taking AP Trig with Professor Gottlieb. And do you still have a copy of "Numbers Don't Lie" if you did?

[ no wonder he gets so many boners, the world is full of girls who are smarter and better than him. ]

It's not boring. [ because it's educational and she's actually quite stoked about this class, it's like, a bajillion college credits out of the way if she passes — and she's herself, she's going to pass — and how dare he insult it. chuck makes a face, and five years ago she woulda stuck her tongue out at him too. but excuse everyone, she is an adult now — self proclaimed. ]

Can you ask your brother? And if he did, can you ask him if I can have his book? I'll buy it off him.

Last I heard she wanted to do Debate, and they're the same time slot. [ and debate seems a lot more jaz than advanced math does, because jazmine wants to be a lawyer (she doesn't say so much, but chuck can tell — people who didn't fancy lawyer careers didn't fucking marathon law and order).

but chuck shrugs. though maybe there's one other favor she can ask him, since he proved so useless with her other request. ]


What are you doing tomorrow?

[personal profile] bombers 2014-06-28 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
A ride into town?

[ they have two cars, but one's an old '54 chevy that's in a constant state of disrepair and is in need of some tender love and care right now, based on how the engine whined last night. so herc is using the audi van which effectively leaves her carless — but what are good neighbors worth if not the occasional car ride?

she'll even flirt for it if she has to. twirl her hair and smile dazzlingly. ]

Noon's great.

[ and now she starts walking, and is close enough to her house that she can veer off at an angel that would be weird for him to follow her at. ]

See you, Rahleigh.
