Bella schedules an appointment at Stanford. She breezes through sixteen hours of motorcycle class, mostly by demonstrating that the instructor is redundant and wouldn't he rather teach her exotic motorcycle tricks and then just mark her as passing the course? She plays in a soccer game against a Port Angeles high school and wins. She starts driving her bike to school, and she names it Tegu after a lizard of similar coloring, because it needed a name.

On Friday evening she's due to fly out, crash in a Stanford grad student's house overnight, interview on Saturday, and fly home that evening. She bikes for the airport, black leather gold-studded saddlebags over Tegu's back wheel carrying her luggage.

[Sounds like a plan. And when that gets full we can make more of 'em.]

Because Alice is not going to stop producing coins anytime soon, and he produces a lot of them, especially on days when he doesn't have much else to do.

edgeofyourseat: Grinning, maybe licking lips. (⑴ you say bark I say bite)
From: [personal profile] edgeofyourseat
[What the fuck could you possibly need that much magic for?]

Not that he doesn't enjoy the thought of having to make even more.

edgeofyourseat: Smiling, conspiratorial or challenging. (⑷ wanna try?)
From: [personal profile] edgeofyourseat
[Betcha I could make a star.]

He's been trying, but he hasn't been trying very hard. Pain at the hex level is distractingly sexy.

[That is because you are smart,] Alice says cheerfully.

edgeofyourseat: Hand to back of head, uncertain. (⑾ whatcha doin' tonight)
From: [personal profile] edgeofyourseat
[There's more where those came from,] Alice points out. Death doesn't bother him the way it bothers her. He thinks it would be pretty awesome if she did manage to get rid of it, but he's not going to complain if she doesn't, or if it takes a while.

Date: 2012-10-02 09:23 pm (UTC)
edgeofyourseat: Confused or hurt. (⑿ never been born at all)
From: [personal profile] edgeofyourseat
[I'd be fucking wrecked if you died,] he says. His voice is calm, casual; the emotions behind it are anything but. [So?]

He would suffer a lot, but suffering is not exactly new and different for him. And there are seven billion more people on the planet, and odds are there's at least one or two more that he could love this much. If he stuck around long enough to find them.

edgeofyourseat: Sarcastic or disbelieving. (⑺ back into your place)
From: [personal profile] edgeofyourseat
[I don't think you're getting this,] Alice says dryly.

People, as individuals, aren't replaceable. Everyone is exactly themselves. The loss of a person is a loss. But except in a very few cases, it's not a loss that Alice personally cares about, and even for those—even for the one he knows would completely take him apart—he doesn't think they are irreplaceable in the sense that the world becomes a permanently worse place every time someone leaves it. It just keeps on being the world, with these people instead of those ones.

edgeofyourseat: Explaining or agreeing. (⑼ gotta be cool)
From: [personal profile] edgeofyourseat
[Well, yeah,] says Alice. [And that's awesome. It just doesn't piss me off that a bunch of people are dying right now who wouldn't be if you'd fixed it already.]

Date: 2012-10-02 10:03 pm (UTC)
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, affectionate or amused. (⑶ your wish is my command)
From: [personal profile] edgeofyourseat
[Yeah, that's not gonna happen.]

Or at least, he can't imagine how.

Date: 2012-10-02 10:07 pm (UTC)
edgeofyourseat: Grinning, friendly. (⑵ extraordinarily nice)
From: [personal profile] edgeofyourseat
[I love you,] Alice says happily.

Date: 2012-10-02 10:33 pm (UTC)
edgeofyourseat: Explaining or agreeing. (⑼ gotta be cool)
From: [personal profile] edgeofyourseat
[Well, which one is it?] he asks reasonably, and indulges in idle speculation about a Bella-compass power.

He circles.

[Yup! Got it!]

Just for fun, he hovers outside her window.

He giggles.

[Hi!] he says, waving.

[So, about the breathing thing. What if I want to make it so I don't need to breathe, but I can still feel like I need to breathe?]
