[OOM] you favor the truth

He wasn't in the river.

Graham had been lying on his cot. Or had been asleep. Either way, rather than needing to retreat to the river, the door of his cell had unlatched. It's something that had happened before, and whatever state he was in, it hadn't concerned him. What he should do was simple, straightforward. He rose from the cot, stepped forward, and gently pushed the door open. The hall beyond his cell had been unrecognizable the moment he stepped out – he couldn't make out the ceiling, only scattered strips of light among dark branches; high dark trees climbed up along the walls; concrete petered out into small stones scattered among leaves and soil. Something glinting among the bars, and trees, before him.

On the other side, he's sitting on a rock near the Lake. Not making the same side trek through his mind has meant he's still dressed in the blue, numbered uniform. Graham isn't planning on entering the Bar.

It's the blue numbered uniform -- on Will -- that catches Diana's attention first, up where she's flying over the mountains.

She drops lightly to the ground several feet away.

"Will? Are you all right?"

I can see that, is what she doesn't say.

"If I ask, will you answer?"

She's already moving closer, pace steady and slow.

In case proximity will only make whatever happened worse. Somehow.

Sometimes a body wants to be alone. Diana knows this one pretty well.

"Most of us are."

Her observation is both wry and soft. Well, quiet, at least.

"What's making you so aware of potential unreliability this time?"

Could it be audience -- or questioner -- participation?

Diana raises her eyebrows, but only a little.

"And now you're concerned about where, exactly, is the line between them? Or is it something else."

Diana's hands drop to her hips.

"Do you have ideas on how you might begin to pace out these boundaries?"
themysciran_diana: (stern blue eyes)

Diana doesn't smile.

"Here, or at home?"
themysciran_diana: (with cloak)

[personal profile] themysciran_diana 2014-05-13 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm sorry for that."

Diana's voice is quiet.

"And there's no hope for changing those -- circumstances?"

"I did," Diana acknowledges, inclining her head very slightly. "And it still stands."

She remains unsmiling, blue eyes focused and clear.

"Are there particular answers you're looking for? Beyond the metaphor of shadows and rooms."

Diana huffs out a quiet breath.

"Not much, truth be told. Though it can be dangerous, in its way, to look for all the truths you don't remember, all at once. Are there particular blank spots or false memories you hope to recover or remove?"

Her smile is a tiny thing, but real.

Having a way forward helps.

"That's enough for going on with -- or it has been, historically. The difficulty will depend on how exactly you lost what happened. Some magics are more tenacious than others, for example. As are some technologies."
themysciran_diana: (ross)

[personal profile] themysciran_diana 2014-05-14 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"What kind of help?"

Diana's smile fades away again, though not to any expression that could be called 'grim'.

Focused, maybe.

"I ask because depending on the similarity, or the difficulty of whatever technique you used -- it might help keep us from brute-forcing anything. Which -- seems like it would be preferable here."
themysciran_diana: (eyes have it)

"It wasn't voluntary, I take it."

Her delivery is calm. Controlled.

But somewhere she might be a little bit angry.

"Legal documentation covers a host of ills."

Her observation is dry.

(It isn't the only thing that does.)
