i think we're on our own w this one

[he just offers another simple shake of his head. he doesn't really know, either. it just happens.

but he acts like he doesn't know what she's talking about. he wants to snake his way out of this conversation and leave.]

Do what?

Oh no. No, you don't. You don't get to just - pretend like you didn't just make that stop. Nobody, nobody has ever been able to make it stop. Ever. Not even my closest friends. So you're going to stop being a jerk about it and tell me how you just stopped a Banshee from wailing. Right now. ( arms folded over chest, scowl, loud pouty woman face, all the best traits of angry single white female. )

[ben looks at a loss, shifting from one foot to the other. no one has ever really questioned him, just told him a million 'thank yous' or tried to get a good grope of him, as if that would save them from their troubles.

he contemplates just walking away, but he doesn't doubt she'd stop him, or follow him.]

I wasn't lyin' when I said I didn't know.

[now it's his turn to be miffed.]

Don't you be callin' me no jerk. Just 'cos you're pretty don't mean you can get away with anything you want. I don't owe you nothin'.

( ben has run into entirely the wrong girl, then. poor unfortunate soul. all questions all the time. always looking for answers, to know more... yep. he's boned. )

That's an incredible gift. I could help you figure out what it is, if you want.

( OH BUT THEN HE'S REALLY INSULTING. sort of. backwards compliment. there is a moment of almost pleased surprise, though, and she's distracted by the words 'you're pretty'. )

You think I'm pr-- ( NO LYDIA STAY YOUR COURSE. ) - It has nothing to do with whether I'm pretty or not. Of course you don't owe me anything. But I think we could help each other. Clearly there's something different about you. You're something. And I don't think you owe me anything, but I think if you were a little bit less obtuse, you might have better luck understanding your abilities, and what you're supposed to do with them. ( she starts out strong, definitely still angry, but her tone grows gentler as she proceeds. he's a time bomb of emotions. )

[at her offer, he takes a step back.]

No.

[he doesn't want help, doesn't want to face what he's supposedly meant to do with his gift, whatever it was. she's almost a more pushy version of management, and the way she's talking to him sends him reeling back to the day he killed lodz.]

Not today.

[he holds his hands up, as if he's telling her to stop, and takes another step away. he's done-- this is too much for him to take in, and he needs a break, needs time to think. he turns on his heel and walks away without looking back.]
