Jan. 5th, 2015 04:54 pm Sonya's room was something between a dorm room and her usual room set up in the barracks: bed, dresser, desk, but to the side there was also a bookshelf, table, chair, and even a flat screen television and dvd player. Having just gotten used to video cassettes, the use of dvds took some getting used to, but given her lack of a busy schedule, Sonya didn't have much of an issue with it. Otherwise, the room is sparsely furnished and clean. Some people let their place go during their depression: Sonya would go into a cleaning spree just to keep her mind from focusing on things.
Stepping inside, she set the speaker and player on the table, hooking them up. "Feel free to take the chair," The bed's fine enough for her. Maybe Bar could give her a sofa, but she wasn't about to add what she didn't really need. Right now, the point was just to relax, which meant offering Athelstan a seat.

no subject
on 2015-01-06 03:58 pm (UTC)That was the best way she could describe it, certainly how she could see the way the thing worked. "No skipping on this. I can work out and train with this and not worry about song skipping."

on 2015-01-06 08:55 pm (UTC)She may've been aggressive, but she wasn't so bad as to throw something that breakable around.

on 2015-01-06 08:57 pm (UTC)"No, I meant - if you're running..."

on 2015-01-06 09:17 pm (UTC)Which was great when she was working out and listening to heavy metal.

on 2015-01-06 11:05 pm (UTC)She saw it in him when they first met, whenever she saw him playing with, what were for him, modern inventions.

"Oh, yes. This is a place of learning I never could have dreamed of."
no subject
on 2015-01-06 11:14 pm (UTC)"And I got to meet some interesting people, and get an extended family." That last one was especially important. After Outworld, if she didn't have Cadfael, Olivier, or even Athelstan himself, she wasn't sure what would happen with her. She heard of soldiers suffering from PTSD and burn out, the methods they used to drown out the pain.

on 2015-01-06 11:15 pm (UTC)"Yes." He catches her hand as it drops from his shoulder, holding it. "I'm glad we could be there for you."
no subject
on 2015-01-06 11:19 pm (UTC)"Don't cut yourself short. You needed our help and support as well in this place." She couldn't forget how he entered the bar awhile ago, or when the Norsemen appeared.
He needed their love and support as much as she did.
no subject
on 2015-01-06 11:21 pm (UTC)"Well, that's certainly true", he agrees quietly. "And I give thanks for it every day."
Little does he know how much he's going to need it.
no subject
on 2015-01-06 11:29 pm (UTC)"You think you're ready to face what's going on through your door?" Or rather, ready to help a mistress that's going to need all the emotional support he could give her. "Because right now, your mistress is going to be the one needing support."
She said this as straight forward as she could.
no subject
on 2015-01-06 11:31 pm (UTC)"They won't let me go to her", he says quietly. "Only the women are allowed in that room, until... until it's over. But I suppose, if I don't go back... it never will be."
no subject
on 2015-01-06 11:39 pm (UTC)She was never a fan of burying her head in the sand. Waiting out a storm was one thing, but he could do that easily through the door. "The women will let you near her when the ordeal's over and the mess is cleaned up."
There was that much she knew. "You also need to give her the bear. That you were thinking of her and the child is medicine in of itself."
She knew from experience. Sometimes just letting someone know you were thinking of them helped them feel better.
no subject
on 2015-01-06 11:41 pm (UTC)He nods. "I'm not running away. I couldn't, and now less than ever. But just a little longer... while I finish the bear."
no subject
on 2015-01-07 12:09 am (UTC)"Okay, little while longer."
She did notice he wasn't in much of a hurry to finish the bear, but even he knew he had to finish it eventually.
"I'm almost jealous. The family you're with, you've been able to get something of a life, and it's clear they do care for you. Something similar happens to me..there's no such thing. Even their 'hospitality' is set up to make me feel uneasy, to remind me of what they could do to me if they chose."
There was no sense of inclusion when she was in Outworld-everything was focused on making her break.
no subject
on 2015-01-07 12:12 am (UTC)"I wish you didn't have to return there", he says softly. "But I know you must, to see your own world again and perhaps to save it."
no subject
on 2015-01-07 12:57 am (UTC)Her hands clenched. She was needed there, yet she was stuck here. "If this really was medical leave, I'd be back by now." She laughed. "Fuck it, I'm actually wanting to go back to that hellhole."
She ran a hand through her hair.
no subject
on 2015-01-07 10:38 am (UTC)"The time will come. Perhaps whatever or whoever keeps your door from you, thinks you aren't yet ready."
no subject
on 2015-01-07 05:35 pm (UTC)There were no firearms in Outworld. Whatever she could do to improve herself in weaponry and hand-to-hand, she would focus on.
