[And Rogue's day is very suddenly ruined. She's so mad she could explode. But she doesn't. She squashes it down hard so that when she talks, it has to be through gritted teeth.]
Anyone who's been talkin' ta "me" today up until now, unless it was a private chat or face ta face, it wasn't me. Someone decided ta stick her nose in all over the place, and didn't even bother ta show her sorry hide ta me herself.
Ignore anythin' she told any of ya.
[She's soooo angry.]

[And that is a super condensed version, that leaves out a lot of details.]

[ Anya had shaken him out of it. ]
A second chance, what do you mean?

Date: 2014-01-22 06:45 am (UTC)From:Alright so, there's two kinds of folks that are on this ship, we're classified as Wardens and Inmates. [Not really her favorite terms, but she didn't make the system. She was just working in it.] The Wardens are volunteers, and the Inmates not so much. Those folk get picked up at some point after they die. They get brought here t'try and get their shit together. Once that happens, the get t'go back. Try again.

And some stay there?

Date: 2014-01-22 08:40 am (UTC)From:Yeah, some come back ta pay it forward, and ta get somethin' they need.

Date: 2014-01-22 08:52 am (UTC)From:[She wondered, but she knew better than to bring it up first. To be fair, she also only sort of knew of Anya by reputation on the Barge. They hadn't really crossed paths yet.]
How ya doin' with that?

Date: 2014-01-22 08:55 am (UTC)From:I don't know. I don't know.
[ Be he blinks hard. ]
Realistically, I know other worlds, she had to have survived somewhere. But I-I never allowed myself to think on it. She looks so much like her mother, I always thought she would.

Re: [Private]
Date: 2014-01-22 09:05 am (UTC)From:Nothing that is fair of me to ask, or my place.
[ Because he wants to ask her to look after his child, but he knows that would be meddling when he doesn't have the right, even if it's what he wants to do, and would place a burden on Rogue that he shouldn't. ]
I haven't seen her in over fifty years Rogue. And the last time I did, she was so small. I don't want to push too hard, but I don't want to lose her again either, even if she isn't mine, she is. I don't know what to do.

Date: 2014-01-22 09:12 am (UTC)From:So, she'll offer what little she could do.]
Ask anyway.

Date: 2014-01-22 09:21 am (UTC)From:[ He laughs, but it's not happy. ]
I don't have any right to ask, for her or of you. She's my firstborn, I honestly never believed I'd see her again.
[ He also never spoke of her. ]
[Private]
Date: 2014-01-22 09:25 am (UTC)From:[Which was saying a lot, and yet not. Because he'd asked, she'd keep an eye on Anya, jump in places if she needed it, and Rogue could help. But they didn't know each other either, so it would make things strange. Still, it wouldn't be the first time she was asked to be the protector of someone she barely knew. She'd done pretty okay by Hope.]
Promise.

You're older than I was when she was born, you know.
