“Yeah,” Temple replies, smiling nervously at her. “It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”
And the first time they met, they weren’t even in the real world. They were in memories, with North, and only North bothered to speak to him after. South didn’t seek to talk to him then and he didn’t try talking to her, even after speaking with North.
It had been almost as though they weren’t even in the same universe. And Temple supposes it could have stayed that way.
But now that he forgives her, forgives Freelancer, for all she and it have done, he doesn’t want it to be that way. He wants her to be an ally, maybe even a friend. He sees no reason for them to avoid each other, no reason for their paths not to cross.
And he wants her to know that. But telling her that isn’t quite as easy as he thought it would be, now that he’s actually talking to her.
Instead, things are just… awkward, he supposes. Because they barely know each other, and she just seems confused by his presence. But he guesses he’ll just have to power through that awkwardness somehow.
sorry for the wait!
