[Someone's going through papers on a desk. It looked like it had been organized, once, but that organization had been gone. Rachel's muttering to herself, obviously trying to find something.]

I know it's in here somewhere - who the hell was going through this place...?

...Jesus, where's Bobby Drake when you need an accountant?

[She sees a piece of paper and grabs it.]

Ah-ha! Oh, wait, this is from last month's payroll. Where's...

Holy crap, is this Goodfellow's old tab?

[She shakes her head and goes back to looking.]

This is gonna take forever.

[Kirk sighed and ran a hand through his head.]

Look, you're a big girl and can make your own choices. But Brennan knows that eventually he and Shalimar end up together in their world. She's told him that. I'm not a happily ever after, gets the girl and has the picket fence kind of guy. I'm not even a long term relationship type of guy. Outside of this weird situation with the City, Shalimar and I never would have had this type of relationship.

But you? You're not that way, I can tell. You want someone to spend forever with. Brennan? He wants Shalimar to spend forever with and you will always, always be second place to her.

[A pause.]

And personally I think you deserve more than that.

[She leans back, getting a little defensive.]

You think I'm looking for forever here? Seriously? After having the front-row to Anita and Reeve? Kitty and Kaidan? I'd be crazy.

I don't know what this is, I'm not even sure why I started it, but I do know that when I'm with him - part of that gaping hole in me gets a little smaller and a little easier to deal with.

[Kirk raised his hands in a defensive gesture.]

Alright, alright. If he makes you happy... then good.

Re: [Action]

[starchilde_lost]

I am. Happy.

[She doesn't exactly sound convinced, there are obviously things on her mind.]

Re: [Action]

[starfleet-pimp.livejournal.com]

Well then good.

[Kirk grinned, even though he wasn't sure he believed her.]

Why don't you head out. I'll stay a few minutes putting this place back together as much as I can.

You sure?

[She didn't want to leave him with this mess.]

[Kirk nodded.]

Yeah, it won't take long.
