WHO: Constance Peixes and Eridan Ampora
TONE: Sad, a bit awkward, a bit 'what might have been'
RATING: PG-ish
WHEN: 14 November
WHERE: Constance's office
WHAT: this happened. and now it needs to be discussed.
STATUS: [ONGOING]



[All Constance could do was pace the floor of her office, behind her desk. Back and forth. Back and forth. 'Mum'. She supposed it was a matter of time before the distance she was intentionally putting between herself and Murdoc needed to be discussed, but she thought she had time.

And she didn't think it would come to a discussion of her personal feelings, her personal pain. She hadn't worded things well, and she knew it.

All she could do was wait, now. It was going to be a surprise when she saw who was behind the door, though...]

[She's going to simply hug him for a minute, trying not to think about any of the what-ifs that are floating around her head. As much as she would have liked to be there, to really play the role, be the mum, it's not going to happen. It hurts to think about.

So she doesn't, rubbing his back, making a soft shooshing sound.]

I wish things were different. But you're stronger than you think. You're going to be all right.
