My first thought was, he lied in every word,
That hoary cripple, with malicious eye
Askance to watch the workings of his lie
On mine, and mouth scarce able to afford
Suppression of the glee, that pursed and scored
Its edge, at one more victim gained thereby.
-- Robert Browning, Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came

Judith!
So sorry I missed you tonight, but I was away on urgent business. I’m sure, however, that the welcoming committee I’d arranged for you and yours was more than sufficient. After all, Robert and William worked hard on it!
In any case. I’m sorry if I seemed to get off on the wrong foot with your company. You’ll have to pass that along to them. I know I had to leave in a bit of a jiff, too, but you did force it upon me. I’m terribly sorry I had
to leave without proper goodbyes. I’m sure they would have been loads of fun for both myself, and your cohorts.
I hope to see you soon Judith. I’ll make sure to stop in tonight, in fact. You have such vivid dreams, afterall.

Flanking Judith's name, which is centered at the top of the page, is a pair of the little smily faces, hand drawn. The signature "R.F." is followed below by a third.

Judith looks a bit confused as she begins to read. As she continues down her eyes widen.
I never told him my name, my last name was on the armor but my first name...
She goes white as another throught strikes her and she grips the paper so her nails poke holes in it. She stares at the ending words and then in a fit of desperate rage, Judith tears it in half. She lets the pieces fall and runs to the bathroom.

Aimee sould feel Judith's distress as she reads. Aimee also reads, finding it strange that both her letter and Judith's included references to enjoyable farewells that never happened.
Aimee can't blame Judith for rushing out of the room... the letter's giving HER the creeps TOO.
"Geez," she says once Judith is in the sanctity of the bathroom, "Gares, is Judith in danger? Is O'Dim coming HERE?" she demands of him, hugging her arms, her hair still wet and billowy.

In the bathroom, Judith turns on the tap and lets the water run. She leans over the sink using her arms to prop herself up. She feels sick and her mouth feels dry. She tries not to think.
Just listen to the water. Listen to the water run. Don't think about it, just don't think. It's impossible.

While Judith tries to clm herself in the bathroom, Jack Stigton arrives at the door to the suite. He raps on the frame with his cane to get Aimee and Gares's attention.
"I heard that a letter came for you from the Diocee of Canterbury today, correct, Miss Hughes?"
Stington's eyes catch the flower petals on the floor with the torn up letter, and makes a face.
"I see Miss Merari got her letter too. I'm going to have to see about getting a mail block put on you people."
If Stington has any remorse about the calousness of his remark, he doesn't show it as he raises his eyebrow at Aimee, waiting for her answer.

Aimee is quite sure Stington's never seen her dressed quite like she is... or with her hair all wet.
"Oh... yes, Sir. It was from Paladin Angelossi. He just wanted to explain his disappearance... a month after it happened," she replies, then blushes slightly at her tight top and short shorts (to think, Stington probably passed this stuff to be regulation...).

OOC: He's only their boss, not the boss boss. Besides, Jack knows how to seperate business from pleasure.
Stington nods at Aimee, and shakes his head.
"Good riddance. That womanizer caused nothing but trouble."
Jack moves into the room, and picks up the letter, crushing some of the rose petals under his boots. He puts the letter in one pocket, and the envelope in the other.
"Miss Merari, please see me in my office in the morning. Gares, perscribe her some sleeping pills, so she can rest undisturbed. I'll explain why to the Colonel."

Y-Yes, sir.
I don't think I really want to sleep tonite, though.
She splashes some water on her face.

Aimee considers noting that if he was half the womanizer she thought he was....
She doesn't, though.
"I'll keep an eye on her," Aimee offers. She wasn't planning on napping until morning anyway since she's still quite pumped from the mission and getting thrown around like a rag doll. "What time is the debrief, Boss?"

Stington turns, halfway out the door.
"I don't bloody know, Hughes. About a half hour after the last one of you is awake."

A while after Stington leaves, Judith emerges from the bathroom. Her hair is wet and wrapped in a towel. Apparently she decided to take a shower.
Heh, sorry about that.

Aimee has finished brushing hers by that point, and looks over as Judith speaks.
"No need to apologise, Deadeye... you wouldn't want to stink up the place," she jests, hoping to cheer Judith up a bit. But she's too curious to not un-cheer Judith as well.
"What have you been dreaming, Jude?"

*Immediately after being ordered to do so, Gares goes to write up a prescription for and to go get Judith's pills. Considering how busy they likely are, it probably isn't that odd that Judith has enough time to shower in the time that this takes. Once he returns, he knocks on the door, and waits for one of the two to answer.*

It's nothing really. I'm just freaking myself out and that bast**d probably guessed it and is playing with my head. Just some nightmares about my first mission. With all those ghouls.
She mutters as she goes to the door to let Gares in.
Thanks, Gares.

You're quite welcome. If there's nothing else you need, I should probably go help out the wounded... there are quite a lot of them after this last mission.
