the punchline to the joke is asking "someone save us"

STILL HERE, HUH?
Looks like you're still on Tera. By choice, or maybe you missed your chance to get home. Doesn't matter really, you're here now and you gotta deal with the fallout one way or another. Here's hoping that works out for you.

C'mooon. You do nothing but this, it's boring even watching you.

[It's almost a joke, and he turns his head up to look at her and raise his (patchy) eyebrows.]
no subject
...later the god takes over the bar, it's still a good time, this joke kind of got away from me. [Luci continues to frown, but puts her hands on Terry's cheeks. This poor boy is suffering, and she hates to see it.] What about a compromise, then?
no subject
[He hasn't shaved in weeks he's not doing anything where he has to take clothes off. Especially in public.]
no subject
Movies, takeout, on the couch. But you don't look at any of this crap for a few hours. Then we both get what we want.
[Well. Luci gets less of what she wants, and Terry gets dragged away from his very important documents. Not so much win-win here, but she's convinced she knows best.]
no subject
You sure that's enough excitement for you? I'm not really...
[He gestures vaguely. He's not great company right now; he's sad and tired.]
no subject
Come on, that's enough of this. [She reaches over him and starts shuffling all the paperwork into a stack-- definitely not paying attention to any groupings or stacks Terry might have made.] If I'm not ruining a deserving person's life tonight, we're starting on improving yours right now.
no subject
Let me put this all away so you're not making more work for me later, at least.
no subject
I don't know if I'm annoyed or aroused.
no subject
[He glances up at her with something that's almost an amused smile while he shoves all the folders in his bag.]
no subject
And you can find us a place that delivers.
no subject
Just don't wreck it. The lease for this place is in there.
no subject
I don't want pizza, but anything else is fair game.
no subject
There's a Chinese place that me and... Uh... We...
[Terry swallows and shakes his head. Maybe not that one then.]
... How about Lebanese?
no subject
[She lets that sit for a moment, then:] It's alright darling, you don't have to hide it around me. You're wearing it like a particularly oversized coat.
no subject
I'm not hiding it, I just... Gotta keep moving forward, you know?
[Grief takes time, and it's not something Terry has an abundance of right now. Maybe when they make real strides forward he'll reach out to a therapist or something, but until then the bes he's gonna get is moments like this.]
[God but he's so fucking thankful he still has friends like this around. Even if he can't fathom what he dis to deserve them.]
no subject
It feels like every time you get close, you pussy out and pull up.
no subject
I just don't want to talk about it.
[Terry kicks his shoes off and pulls his feet up on the couch, hugging his knees to his chest. Absently he picks at a loose thread on one of the rips in his jeans and sighs.]
I mean, it's not like sitting here all "I miss Maxxie more than I've got words for" is gonna change anything. He's still gone.
no subject
[Jokes aside...]
You're right that it won't change anything. But if you want me to tell you that it's better to keep your thoughts and feelings inside and to yourself, you're going to be disappointed darling.
no subject
I don't wanna bother you with my shit just because I'm feeling like crap.
no subject
[She rolls over the back of the couch, somehow keeping her whiskey upright, and lands next to Terry right in his personal space.] But what can I say? You were good to me, and I want to be good to you.
no subject
[The good being the bottle he takes from Luci and puts a leg down to accommodate her all in his space.]
I should be used to this stuff anyway.
no subject
[She slings an arm around his shoulders again.] I would be deeply disturbed if you became used to people suddenly vanishing out of your life. It hurts because you care, that's not a bad thing.
