 Rooftops and Hoarfrost (Silas/Open)

Despite the foolishness of being out and about on the rooftops, that's exactly where Rebecca finds herself.  Campus seems quieter now than it had earlier in the air, which she was glad of.  Equally appealing was the lack of Fiona on the roof or trying to touch her freaking her out in general.

She stands with her back to the wind, facing where the sun will rise as she fingers the inside lining of her pockets.  Up here, for now, there's only her.  The rest of the world and its drama lay sleeping below.

Silas comes up to the roof as well! He pulls out a pack of cigarettes, placing one on his lips before he pauses when he sees Rebecca.

"...hi."

More like the drama took a nap. She looks over at Silas when she hears the sound of his voice and nods.

"Hey." Steam spills out into the cold air with her greeting. She doesn't seem bothered by the fact he was going to be smoking.

He looks around before back at her.

"We're you looking to be alone?"

Rebecca shrugs, so very helpful.

"Doesn't really matter. Someone'll be by here eventually, right." A hint of a smile. "Kind of hard to find a quiet place anywhere." A half a beat later, "Were you?"

Because really, she can leave. She's not in the mood to be territorial right now.

"It's fine if it's you." He shrugs, walking out towards the edge, offering her one.

"They frown upon minors smoking around here." He smirks.

"That wouldn't surprise me." Rebecca gives a small shake of her head at the offer. The smell was nostalgic, but the fact you put crap in your lungs that kills you slower than she does is definitely a turn off to them.

"Is that a perk?" She's more curious than anything as she turns to face him as he approaches, shifting back around when he's near enough.

"Is what a perk?" He glances at her but looks away to light up so she doesn't have it blown in her face.

She appreciates the gesture! It even earns him a faint smile, though he's not looking at her to see it.

"Doing it despite their disapproval. Doing it because you want to." Along with whatever satisfaction came from either. She closes her eyes, still able to smell the tabacco.

"Maybe part of it." He shrugs.

"My father used to do it, which made me want to. He didn't want me to though, which made me want to more." He glances back over his shoulder at her.

"That sounds familiar." His answer gets another wry smile as she checks her amusement. The joys of being a teenager, folks.

She opens her eyes and glances at him in return before looking away again, unsure if he has something on his mind or if he's enjoying the relative peace as well.

He smiles with an amused chuckle under his breath as he looks away again, taking another long drag.

"...is something bothering you?" He asks without looking back.

"Just a bit of family drama." Her smile fades. After a moment, she shakes her head.

"Nothing I shouldn't be over already."

He turns around, leaning on the rails with his elbows draped on them.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

She looks at him again, a hint of the smile returning as she shifts to face him. For once, it's not something he already knows or, if it is, he's letting her speak anyway. She doubts it's the later.

This would make the fourth summary her player has done of the the "Dutiful Daughter" thread, however, so we're going to skip over it. We're going with her telling Silas about her father being at the rally and the shortest, least emotionally painful/detailed version of what happened at the hospital.

She's tired of waving her dirty laundry out at this point. The words come easy.

He takes another drag as he listens, blowing it out off to the side as he flicks the ash down into the snow on the roof.

"...your dad seems like a real piece of shit." He holds her gaze.

She exhales a soft laugh and shakes her head.

"Maybe so, but he's also my dad." Can't escape that one. "If nothing else, I've got less than two years. If I get control before then, I'll think of something. If not, then I won't be lying about it."

Silas nods. He understands daddy issues.

"What'll happen if you get control in two years? You'll leave?" His brow furrows.

So glad to not have to delve into that.

"Stay here, probably. That's if it only takes two years, though. It could definitely take more." Especially if she still struggles with apologizing or anything else. She hadn't forgotten Nicky's warning any more than she had seeing a sentient power become visible in their own form for a short time.

"I signed on as an agent, not a student. I'm not going back there."

"I turn eighteen." Another shrug, this time as if dismissing something unimportant. "After that, he can threaten to remove me and bluster all he wants; it won't mean a thing."

"He's threatened to pull you out of here?" That would make sense. He takes another drag.

"Mhmm." She nods, leaning against the railing as she looks away from Silas and focuses on the campus for a while.

"He wants me to get my powers in check and go home. Anything beyond that, if he hears about any missions or anything else, he'll revoke his permission for me to be here."

He takes another drag before flicking the remains off to the side.

"I wouldn't let him take you. If you wanted to stay, that is."

"Of course I want to; I'm still here, aren't I?" Her brows knit at the suggestion. Honestly, she could leave if she wanted. People had in the past.

Was this really just interest? That statement of his seemed a bit too extreme for that.

"But thank you." For a moment, her expression relaxes and she's able to smile again. Then she thinks about it.

"Hopefully, it won't come to that."
