'you did, didn't you?' she asked quietly, not meeting his gaze. 'why?'

Subject: I.N. Query Fri Dec 28, 2012 2:41 pm

"That's an easy question. And in all fairness, this transpired before me and that buffoon decided to work together."

Subject: Ace Fri Dec 28, 2012 2:45 pm

'he isn't a buffoon, you wouldn't bother with he was.' Ace sighed, looking more tired than before.

Subject: I.N. Query Fri Dec 28, 2012 2:47 pm

"Let's not talk about me."

"How are you doing?"

Subject: Ace Fri Dec 28, 2012 2:53 pm

'better, i admit.' she smiled gently at him, taking one more step closer to him. 'I haven't found a cure yet, but..'

Subject: I.N. Query Fri Dec 28, 2012 2:54 pm

"but you feel you're getting closer?" I offer as a hopeful choice.

Subject: Ace Fri Dec 28, 2012 2:58 pm

'No..' she paused, a frown creasing her forehead. 'Whenever i think about it, it makes me anxious, so I can't work on it.'

Subject: I.N. Query Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:03 pm

"Need you any calming agents?"

Subject: Ace Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:03 pm

'Maybe.' she tilted her head towards the floor, hiding her desperation beneath her baseball cap.

Subject: I.N. Query Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:09 pm

I reach into my pocket and hand one to her, it was my last one for now. I had to get back home to get more.

Subject: Ace Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:11 pm

She was reluctant to accept it, palms grasping the bottle lightly. 'Why are you being so nice to me?' her voice was barely a whisper.

Subject: I.N. Query Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:14 pm

"I should think the answer to that riddle to e blatantly obvious."

Subject: Ace Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:17 pm

'But you shouldn't care about me..' she gnawed on her bottom lip, leaving the unspoken statement hanging in the air.
like i shouldnt care about you.

Subject: I.N. Query Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:26 pm

"I said it was OBVIOUS..." I smirk at her, "I didn't say it was logical."

Subject: Ace Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:29 pm

'Query, i can't take this if it's the only one you have.' she held it out for him to take again. 'I shouldn't care about you, you hurt my friends..'

Subject: I.N. Query Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:31 pm

I push it back to her, "I have more, I just need to get them."

"And did I hurt them? Or was it their own stupidity?"

Subject: Ace Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:33 pm

that's a massive i bro

'No!' she demanded, on the defensive. 'You're the one who set them up!'

Subject: I.N. Query Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:34 pm

"And if they were smarter, my games would be little more than an amusing diversion."

Subject: Ace Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:38 pm

'Or they would ignore it, like Eagle did.' she pointed out, wishing she didn't have to twist the knife in to get a point across.

Subject: I.N. Query Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:40 pm

"He ignored it because of his arrogance!" I yell unnaturally loud and childishly.

Subject: Ace Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:42 pm

She put a hand on his shoulder, trying to cause him to calm down. 'No, he ignored it because you're playing with lives like they're toys, Query.'

Subject: I.N. Query Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:43 pm

"Aren't they? Aren't all things at the end of the day about the intellectual pursuit?"

Subject: Ace Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:46 pm

'How is killing or torturing people anything close to intellectual pursuit? Just listen to yourself, you sound like a madman, not a genius!'

Ace actually seemed horrified, there was a way to gain knowledge without pain, she knew there had to be..

Subject: I.N. Query Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:47 pm

"I'm not harming anyone USEFUL. Just the intellectually inferior. Of no value or consequence at all."

Subject: Ace Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:50 pm

'You're hurting me..' she left her hand on his shoulder, refusing to step back.
