Hey, Mother- Let's go to my room, I've got movies, vodka, and some of this-

Intel tells me it's good for this sort of thing.

[[For, but not entirely limited to eatenbykarma ]]

...How can you contain an entire movie in a plastic circle? What happened to the physical roll of film?

Hn.

*Only slightly confused, she takes a seat next to him*
Well. I hope this is as good as the movies I've seen in the past.

I don't know how it works, either. But it does.

[put an arm around her shoulders to just be comforting]

Me too-

[They watch. And then the cowboys start getting frisky.]

Ah- uhr.

...

Adam.

This is an odd way to show your support...

OH GOD I DIDN'T KNOW THEY'D BE DOING THIS [leaps out of his seat, prying the DVD player open] Goddammit! New movies! You can't trust them....

[internal Baaawwwwwwww] [grabs disc, snaps it in half, throws it away from them]

... I've got some John Wayne.

...Quite.

*And she can't help but smile a little at that. He really did mean well, didn't he?*

John Wayne would be fine. *she nods, and finally takes some ice cream for herself*

Mmm.

[pops in the John Wayne, settles back down with her] You do like chocolate, right?

[nom nom nom ice cream] [cuddles up to Boss in a child-like manner, his head on her shoulder]

[It registered that he really did want to make up for lost time]

I've never disliked it. I suppose I don't have an opinion on it one way or the other.

[nom. It's quite good, actually.]
[Glancing down at him for a moment, she switches the ice cream to another hand and, with a bit of hesitation, wraps an arm around him.
Getting used to something like this.. it was foreign to her.]

Ration chocolate isn't very good, either.

[He holds her and squeezes, mentally putting all of his moments of wanting his mother into it. He's totally not going to admit it though.]

[The room is dark and if you're in long sleeves you won't feel him tear up ever so slightly]

[He feels angry at the Sorrow again for betraying her. He pretends for a moment that he doesn't actually betray others. This is different anyway.]

That it isn't. [She actually smiles a little at that]

...[At that squeeze... well, she can't help but pay more attention to him anyway, now that he's here, but.]

It's been too long.

[And she wraps her arms around him, hugging him gently]

You don't need to hold anything back. If you're angry, or upset- you won't be any less of a man for it.

[ If only she could take her own advice.]

Mother, I-

[smooths warbling from his voice]

I'm not the one trying to play stoic after something emotionally earth shattering. I know you were trying to be strong for him because he's so damn weak all of the time.

Nevertheless. What I've been trying to get to... What about your needs and wants? You do everything for everyone. This place is some sort of second chance. Embrace it.

Be selfish. [The end of his speech had the warbling fall back into it, much to his dismay. This is entirely private. So what if his mother sees him cry? He grips onto her, trying to stabilize himself.]

[She only continues to hold him, for a moment, listening. It just.. wasn't as simple as giving him up. Giving up what she was used to. Surely, he understood that.

Maybe he did, too, but she wasn't about to ask him anytime soon.]

...Nevermind my issues, Adam. I should think you have your own to worry about- you do not need the additional burden of my own troubles to add to them.

And as for myself-- well. I can.. deal with them, when the time is right.
