silly little tragedy
It was as plain as day that Mimi was still resentful down to her core. To judge her would be hypocritical and damn near blind of him. So he didn't. Not now, nor ever. It was ridiculously hard to see her this angry with him. She was younger so it must've had a bigger impact on her than he could ever figure. Despite being somewhat intoxicated, he felt sober enough to address these issues here and then. Perhaps the alcohol actually helped mute the starkly doubtful thoughts that plagued him before this point. He might never have approached her sober.
At first it seemed like she'd just continue to ignore him, building a brick wall of deflection between the two to neglect the nagging issues causing such a rift to begin with. But some sort of anger must've propelled her into facing it head on. She lurched toward him, brushing aggressively past with the bump of her slender but forceful shoulders to make a way for their chat. He followed suit, eyes snaking around the room at the couple of eyes watching the drama go down. He sneered with his gaze, in response to which they diverted their own.
When Mimi paused, whipping around to face him, he prepared for a flurry of pissy frustration. And that was exactly what he got. It was okay with him. She obviously needed to get it off her chest. A heavy sigh escaped him, bright but glassy eyes glazed and watching the ceiling. "Mariah... Nothing I say is going to satisfy you or fix the bullshit. But you have to know I thought about you the entire time. And made sure you were safe. I came back because Casey didn't build his syndicate for nothing. Believe it or not, I cared. A whole fuckin' lot. I wouldn't have taken his rank if I didn't. I'm not letting shit fall apart any more than it has." He explained mournfully, though his tone held together beneath a stoic and firm front.
