[The demand surprises him a little, if only because of how much he's pulled away after losing Mason, and then Caroline. But of course Jenna probably noticed when he stopped coming to dinner and stuff.]
Guess I can't argue an offer than good anyways. I'll see you in a few then.
[ she stretched the truth a little with 'come up'; it's more like walk through the door, but those are the ambush rules. she lays the promised bribes out on a table and sets a towel down too, heading into the pool to wait for tyler.
the water is always perfect-- sometimes it's frustrating ( those are the illogical angry days, when the vastness of the ship somehow seems too confining ) but today it's just comforting, as soothing as anything ever really gets in space. ]
It's more 'late'. And they're more apologies than bribes. After Elena-- [ she coughs, clearing her throat. ] Anyway, I should have come to check on you right away, but I got a little wrapped up in my own stuff.
...okay, we're definitely going to need all of this. Grab anything you want, by the way.
[ she shakes her head at his easy acceptance, moving to stand by the edge of the pool, arms crossed on the deck holding her above the water. ] Okay, true. But part of the deal with having friends around is you're allowed to indulge the "awesome, but I have feelings too" side and take advantage of any apology-related gifts.
Teenager-- [ she points to tyler with a flourish, then back at herself. ] Really not a teenager. One of us gets to be sulky, and one of us is already supposed to know better.
Well, I won't hold it against you if you don't. [Then again, Tyler tends to be pretty forgiving when it comes to the people he actually cares about. Congrats Jenna: you made that list.]
That's the other half of the deal that benefits me, but thanks for saying it out loud.
[ she dunks her head back, soaking her hair. ]
This isn't a replacing thing-- I promise, you're very much Tyler and not Mason-lite, so no hidden meanings here-- but god do you remind me of your uncle sometimes.
Considering you're like the only person other than me from back home who liked him, thanks.
[It had been nice, getting extra time with Mason. Losing him a second time though had been harder than the first -- even if he knew this time what really happened.]
[ but ric helped damon kill him, and jenna's face acknowledges that. ] Did you hear I punched Damon? After I found out about what he did. [ her voice is viciously satisfied, even now. ] Right in the face, I had a broken hand for a minute and everything.
I don't know whether it's good that this stuff is starting to taste normal to me by now, or if it means everything in my life has gone completely wrong by now.

No arguments, I'm bringing booze and a joint and a bag of kind of maybe close space-chips, so all bribery angles are covered. No escape, kiddo.

So what's with the sudden bribing?

Date: 2013-08-04 06:30 pm (UTC)[ she shrugs, smile rueful. ]
So: bribe slash apology.

[And unlike with Mason, Tyler hadn't bothered to make an announcement this time.]
You're forgiven, not that I was upset to begin with. I know other people have their own shit to deal with.

I just don't think it's right to hold it against anyone, how shitty things get here. I haven't exactly been reaching out.

Date: 2013-08-16 10:18 am (UTC)I did not hear about that. Good. He deserved it. [And then some. ]
no subject
Date: 2013-08-16 11:30 pm (UTC)[ jenna's so there. reluctant kind of friend or not, damon deserved a whole hell of a lot more than she handed out. ]
Then I said I'd put vervain in his toothpaste if he didn't back off and leave me alone for a while.
[ the point being-- maybe it wasn't the revenge mason deserved, but somebody stood in for him. ]
no subject
Date: 2013-08-16 11:46 pm (UTC)[Just because he kind of enjoys the idea of Damon getting poisoned by vervain toothpaste. Whoops.
Maybe not the revenge Mason deserved, but it was something.]
no subject
Date: 2013-08-19 10:23 pm (UTC)[ because that would have been a dick fucking move, even jenna knows it.
but god, it was nice to think about. you take my best friend, i take yours-- nice and neat, an exactly proportional response. ]
no subject
Date: 2013-08-20 09:45 am (UTC)[Which it might be a dick move but Tyler's long come to terms with some of his inherit dickness.]
no subject
Date: 2013-08-21 07:55 am (UTC)[ jenna's only the nice one so far as the bounds of loyalty and manners extend. damon definitely didn't deserve either. ]
So, grab something or get in-- or both, I think I might end up on both.

Worth dying for? Maybe not, but that still hasn't gotten old.
