[this is a pissed Otacon. This is also an Otacon that's very close to breaking down. The news of what will happen to Emma, what's happened with Liquids recently, and not being able to find fem!Vamp quickly is wearing his sanity down pretty thin. Right now, he's coding. He might break a key soon, given how hard he's pushing them]

[She sees a bigger version of the little human. Confused she moos... rather loudly.]

[ltrstono-one.livejournal.com]

[jumps a little, then turns to her] What?

[femmoo.livejournal.com]

[She blinked, then mooed again.]

[ltrstono-one.livejournal.com]

[pushes his glasses up, noticing the inorganic body parts] ... I'm sorry.

[femmoo.livejournal.com]

[She tilted her head. She did not quite understand the meaning of "sorry"...

Again her lack of speech was becoming frustrating!

She sighed.]

[ltrstono-one.livejournal.com]

Can you speak?

[vamplostispenis.livejournal.com]

Hal... are you okay?

[ltrstono-one.livejournal.com]

Adriana. [turns, looking at her]

[vamplostispenis.livejournal.com]

Yes Hal?

[ltrstono-one.livejournal.com]

[hugs her, face buried in her chest]

[vamplostispenis.livejournal.com]

[She hugged him back.]

What's wrong?

[ltrstono-one.livejournal.com]

Recently? Liquid. He- the curse. Again. He slept with me and now he doesn't want me around.

[Liquid screwed up, and he damn well knew it. He wasn't wrong often, and on the rare occassions he was, the soldier liked to think he could admit it.]

[So why was it so difficult this time?]

[In silence, he watched Otacon from a distance away--he was one of the best stealth operatives in the world, and going unnoticed should have been simple.]

[ltrstono-one.livejournal.com]

[reaches for his cup of coffee, and proceeds to knock it over. There's a thump as he slams his fist on the table... then he just sits there, head on his hand]

[dominantviper.livejournal.com]

[Well, shit. Was that...was that guilt he was feeling? Was that even possible?]

[Without a sound, he walked up behind the engineer and hesitated a moment before speaking.]

...Hal.

[ltrstono-one.livejournal.com]

[voice quiet, trying to hide how thick it is] What?

[dominantviper.livejournal.com]

[Liquid knew he'd have to say it. Even though Otacon had been so horribly wrong as to dare to compare Liquid to his brother...he'd have to say the two words that displayed uncertainty, weakness, and a twinge of that emotion he assumed was guilt.]

I'm sorry.

[ltrstono-one.livejournal.com]

... [doesn't turn around]

[dominantviper.livejournal.com]

...You said I was like Snake, for god's sake. You honestly expected I'd simply listen to that without incident?

[sonofstorms.livejournal.com]

Hal, what's up?

[Have a John looking over your shoulder.]

[ltrstono-one.livejournal.com]

Don't do that.

[sonofstorms.livejournal.com]

Scare you? Or is this one of those things I shouldn't be looking at?

[He steps away though, giving the man back is personal space.]

[ltrstono-one.livejournal.com]

Creep up behind people. [takes a deep breath, turning around to look at him]

[sonofstorms.livejournal.com]

Ah. Sorry.

[He kneels on the ground so he isn't standing over Otacon.]

So, wanna talk about it?

[ltrstono-one.livejournal.com]

... just had a bad day.
