She checked in on the people she needed to talk to and then spent some time away, dealing with... people. It was irritating. She didn't really want to think about everything she had dealt with. It was... tiring. Finally, it was time. Screw all the drama. Just get everything out of the way. She knocked on Eric's door, but didn't wait for him to answer. She pushed the door open and leaned against the frame. "Hey, Captain," she said, preparing for some kind of lecture or coldness. She wasn't sure if Aaron had talked to him, but with the way it all sounded... yeah. Not good.

He felt a stab in his heart and the sensation of his stomach falling. He felt so used, and seeing how Aaron had taken the news... He felt like a shitty person. "How's the arm?" He'd ask, though his tone lacked a lot of it's normal energy. Back to Top   Eric Sarah White Mentor Defense When Autumn Came...

She had avoided the doctors as much as possible, only allowing them to clean the burns and give her some ointment to put on it. "How's the, uh... kidney?"

Giving a little shudder, she tried not to think too much on it. "I'm glad you're okay," she told him. "I was... worried about you, back there..."

"Okay, woah. First off, where the hell did you hear THAT? Months?" She gave a very firm shake of her head. "I don't even know if it IS a relationship, Eric. And I don't know, if it is, when it became one. It's kind of been a whirlwind." She sighed. No wonder he was upset.

And I'm not really sure what we were then." He normally was fine without labels, preferred it really. But with this, he just felt used. "I... Ugh. I just feel like an ass right now."

She actually sounded... almost sad about that. "But I didn't use you. You weren't some plot device to help me figure everything out. And I am going to talk to Aaron, again... I'm just waiting for him to work things out with Angel first." She rubbed her forehead in irritation.
