Room 301, Thursday Afternoon

Isabelle had looked at some family photos earlier this morning. That was normal. Normal-ish. Normal enough for how things had been going lately. With Max's death, and the holidays coming up, and all the drama with Flick –– well, who could blame her for wanting to spend some time thinking about her family.

She knew she'd put all the photos away, though. And yet when she came back to her room after a while, she could see already from the door that one of them was out on her desk. When she came closer, she saw which one it was. It had her mother and father with Max, when he'd been barely older than a toddler. She'd liked it, even with all the pain it caused for a variety of reasons.

Except now, it had been defaced. Her parents' eyes had been scratched out. Isabelle picked up the photo, and looked back at the door. Had someone been to her room when she'd been out? Gremlins? Why would they do something like this to someone's family photos?

She looked back down at the photograph.

They deserve it, anyway. They all deserve it.

... Had she thought that? Why would she ever think that?

Maybe she needed to go back to bed.

"Okay," he mumbled, nodding a touch but saying nothing more. He hadn't left or moved away, though.
flickofthewrist: (watch and chain)

Well, when you weren't expecting to be slapped, you didn't do a lot of quick thinking.

That stung because she was not a weak woman. Flick's head whipped to one side and he turned back to her, eyes blazing and expression completely changed.

"Isabelle, what the fuck was that?" he snapped. "What the hell?"

"No, I'm not okay! You just hit me," he said, glaring. "What the hell? What's gotten into you?"

"You know, you can just tell me to fuck off if you're really looking to hurt me," he said, rubbing his cheek. "I think I'd prefer it over actually getting hit."
flickofthewrist: (taste a perfect joy)

"I don't even get an explanation?" he asked, still glaring. He hadn't left yet. "Something to make what you just did make sense? Anything, Isabelle?"
flickofthewrist: (always cheating)

"So, you're just gonna hit me and that's it?" he asked, frowning. "Fine. I'm outta here. You have a wonderful life."

"Whatever, Isabelle," he said, shoving away from her and towards her door. He kicked it open and stomped out. "I'm gone. I'm just done."

And he was off down the hall and out of sight soon enough.
