[She shakes her head.]

Me either.

[It turns people into something they're not - or maybe it just strips away the layers until the real person they are is revealed - either way, Zoe isn't fond of the results. Illusions still get destroyed, and she's not sure which is the worse option.]

I didn't always recognize it.

[ much less would she have talked about it. elena is a very sociable creature. she needs and seeks connections to people. she doesn't like isolation. but in some ways, she's also very private - with her thoughts and with her feelings. she guards them, keeps them for herself sometimes, even if it's only because she doesn't understand them and she needs to sort them out before she can ever share them with anyone else. ]

But ending up in a place where you're meant to atone for your transgressions gets you thinking, regardless of whether or not they're being genuine.

[ the people that brought them there in the first place, that is. ]

It can be. But ... sometimes ignoring them or pretending they're not there can be more exhausting.

[There's a long pause and a deep breath as she tries to actually form the words, but even then it isn't easy. There's a lot of history that goes with it, a lot of implications that come with a kid who's father drinks, but sometimes all you have to do is say it for it to make sense.]

My dad drinks a lot.

[She glances back to him and gives a bit of a shrug.]

I've pretty much gotten it down to a science at this point.

[taking care of drunk people, she means.]
resuming: (most hearts say:)

[ dangerous is one way of (adequately) putting it.

elena grows quiet following his observation, accepting it for the perceptive answer that it is. she doesn't know how they deviated from their initial conversation to something more profound, but she isn't complaining. even if there are things that just aren't easy to admit.
]

It sounds like you have more than just a lot going on.

[ she doesn't ask him to elaborated, either. not after the kind of night he must've had that led to his drinking so much. instead, she looks down at the plate to make sure he's eaten. ]

How are you feeling?
resuming: (realize this love wasn't your trainwreck)

[ elena only smiles a tiny bit at the question.

she does like taking care of people. she likes helping them and she can be very protective of her loved ones. she doesn't have caroline forbes' extraordinary bedside manner, however. but then, no one else in this world does.
]

You're welcome, John.

[ and she means that. she's glad that she's met him, glad that she could help, and she only hopes that he feels even better tomorrow, but that's never a guarantee.

the hangover dispels but your problems are still there. even when you're on a boat with a lot of strangers. but they're not strangers anymore, and she thinks it might mean something good.

I left behind the innocence of youth some time ago.

[ her youth, her innocence, it was lost the moment she witnessed her adoptive father's assassination. she ceased to be a child after that, moved by both that traumatic experience, the truth of her origins, and her conversation with doctor j. ]

You don't need to justify yourself to me. [ she waves it off. ] We're only human, after all. Humans have weaknesses, no matter how strong we claim to be. Sometimes, it's too much, and in order to deal with that, we have to seek out methods of coping with it that aren't just standing still with a false, impenetrable smile. It's okay to not want to deal with reality for a while, Mister Young.

[She gives a bit of a shrug.]

I do that sometimes too. But it's just me and him, so I don't really have anyone else to take care of.

Yes, [ she agrees almost sadly ] yes it does. Often, to those who are undeserving of it.

[ here, she isn't thinking of herself. she's thinking of heero, who has been through god knows what while undergoing the rigorous training doctor j put him through in order to turn an innocent boy into a highly trained assassin. she's thinking of quatre winner, from a family of pacifists, who took up piloting a gundam to defend the idea of peace, because fighting was the only way to achieve that. in the past, growing up too fast and discarding their innocence was the only way. she's tired of that being the only way. the world she wants to create will have no need for such ultimatums.

as for non-humans, well, that concept may be a little hard for her to grasp at first, but it's not entirely farfetched. after all, "newtype" humans were a very real thing in her time. humans who had evolved past the expected human capacity; humans — like heero and quatre — who had the ability to master and control the zero system. and quatre, whose empathic nature made her admire his convictions even more. she couldn't imagine doing the things the gundams had to do while having that ability. ]


Wise? I wouldn't call myself that. [ though it's not the first time she's been called that. ] ...no. No, I don't suppose I do. I think the last time I stopped dealing with reality, it was two years ago. During the war. It was only a moment, but I let myself relax. But it was just a moment. All you can really do is hold on to those moments.

[ leaning against a system's console in a control room they'd snuck into while heero searched through libra's database for her brother's location. for just a moment, they were just a pair of teenagers, but the moment hadn't lasted long at all. i've found zechs... ]

John. Alright. In that case, I insist that you call me Relena.

It is nice not to have a security detail at my heels everywhere I go.

[ she couldn't even sleep in her own bedroom without preventer agents stationed outside her door and windows. she'd grown used to moving around them like they were flesh statues, but it was really nice to be without them. the only thing she missed was that distinct feeling of being watched by something — no, someone — unseen. even when her guards were keeping the closest of watches on her, there he was, in the shadows, watching them watching her. relena was certain the only watchful eyes heero trusted were his own, but even he wasn't able to look over her here. ]

I do insist. If I'm to give myself another moment or two, then I'll need a reprieve from being Vice Minister Darlian and Miss Relena for a while.
