[Late Tuesday Morning, room 203] [For Chiana]

[stykera]

[Stark is sitting in his room with the door slightly open. He's sitting on the floor, eye closed, very still. He's either talking to himself quietly or he is chanting. It's not entirely clear which since he does both on a fairly regular basis, but either way he's trying to clear his head. It seems to be working, and he looks about as close to peaceful as he ever gets when awake.]





[ooc:This is for Chi to give him earth-shattering news. Once that goes on there will be screaming and gnashing of teeth and other assorted goodies, so other people can poke their heads in if they so choose. Just let Chiana freak him out first.]

*Stark opens his eye at the knock, looking up at Chiana for a moment before nodding and standing up.*

Hello, Chiana. Yes, yes of course. Come in.
Can I help you? Did you need something?

[stykera]

You wanted to talk? To talk with me. Just talk.
*He gives her a confused look, because this is not normal.*

No. Haven't been anywhere. Don't usually go anywhere. Nowhere to go. Why?

[stykera]

You. She...What?

Trying to frell with my head some more?
Make the Banik crazier? Not funny. Not funny!

*Glaring, he starts pacing around the room shaking his head.*

Don't lie to me. Not about that. Anything else. Anything. Not that. Not her. Don't LIE.

[stykera]

She can't be here.
She's gone. She's dead. Dead and gone.
She was with me when she went. *He taps the side of his head* I heard it, felt it. She can't be here.

She's frelling gone. I looked. Thought I heard her calling. She wasn't anywhere. I looked for her. She can't be here. Can't be anywhere. I would have found her.

*He's still pacing, still angry, but if he held still long enough it would be clear he was hurt by the news, whether it was true or not.*

[stykera]

*He stops pacing and looks at her*

You wouldn't? Wouldn't lie? Maybe not. Maybe not. Not about this. Maybe.

Where is she? Where did you see her? When did you see her? Is she still here? Is it really her? My Zhaan? Not like Crichton and Aeryn? Really her?

[stykera]

She knew you. That's good. Very good. Yes, good. If she knows you she'll know me. Won't she? She has to.

*He continues pacing, waving his hands around and occasionally muttering something unintelligible to himself*

Why didn't you tell me before? Should've told me then. Should have told me before now. What if she's gone again? Gone already? What if she left?

[stykera]

*Stops and looks at her, hurt*
I didn't know.
I know you were, you tralk.

"Blez out?"
She's here and she is alive and you want me to be calm. You want me to be calm?

I have to go find her. Not right now. Tomorrow. Need time to think. What to do what to say.

Does she know I'm here? Why didn't she find me?

[stykera]

You'd better be good, with all the practice you've had.

Yes, yes. Probably right. She would.

*He doesn't look entirely convinced of this, but it's all he's got, so he'll take it.*

You should go. Can't talk. Need to think. Need to be calm. Thank you for telling me.

[ooc:Can I offer you a cold beverage to go with your popcorn?]

[ooc: For you, of course.]
