December 19, 2016 - ~10:28[/right][/color]What a coincidence. The moment Laura finished talking to Connor, or rather, pretty much lecturing him, Darius wandered in before Connor had much time to respond to her. Yes, she still needed to talk to Darius too. Couldn't he have decided to show up a few minutes earlier so she wouldn't have to repeat most of what she had just said?

Lowering her gaze from the ceiling, she watched Darius greet Connor with the eyes of a bystander. Observing while she tried to get a better grasp on her emotions. But what Darius was talking about did not help her mood. Just everything about what he said was making her upset again. 

He didn't remember what happened after he got hit in the eye? Nice. So he didn't remember attacking a teammate with such lack of restraint and cutting off Connor's arm.

He looked forward to another spar with Connor.

He had the cheek to go and grin at her and say that he had been hoping that he and Connor could have gone all out with the spar. All out, huh? She had had enough difficulty healing the injuries from this match, and he wanted to burden the healers with more unnecessary work. But she couldn't blame him for going on so cheerfully about the spar, could she? Because Darius couldn't [i]fucking[/i] remember.

The corners of Laura's mouth pulled downwards into a deep scowl as her mouth slightly opened so her teeth showed. Her eyes narrowed as her hands gripped the hem of her shirt tightly. [color=6d00ff]"Why am I staring at you like that?"[/color] she echoed in a sickly sweet voice. [color=6d00ff]"Oh, you need me to explain? Let me think."[/color] 

Her voice changed so it was dripping with sarcasm as she glared at Darius, her grey eyes not as calm and mellow as they usually were. Perhaps one could liken her appearance to an angry wolf. [color=6d00ff]"Maybe because... you just cut off his arm? Maybe because... you don't seem to care that both of you ended up in the infirmary? Maybe because,"[/color] here her voice rose and became harsh, [color=6d00ff]"not counting you two, more than half of our team was on site helping after the spar the two of you had to help deal with the mess that was created? Plus one other Asclepian?"[/color]

She took a step forward towards Darius before evidently changing her and turning to face the wall. [color=6d00ff][i]Will not resort to violence to deal with your emotions. Violence solves nothing. That's not your strength.[/i][/color] Placing her palms against the wall, she hit her head against it once. And again. Ouch. Too hard. When she spoke next, her voice was muffled, curtains of her hair blocking her face. [color=6d00ff]"Go ask Connor to repeat what I said before you came."[/color]

[color=6d00ff][i]Get a grip on yourself. This isn't you. You shouldn't get so frustrated and angry so easily.[/i][/color]

[color=6d00ff][i]Deep breaths, now. You need to stay calm, healers need to keep their cool.[/i][/color]

This [i]really[/i] wasn't her, and she didn't know why. Yes, it shouldn't have happened, but it wasn't the worst thing that [i]could[/i] have happened. Maybe it was because she was on edge because they had not been out to fight for at least a month, worried that the next attack would be devastating. Or maybe not. She didn't know. Maybe she was just tired. She'd feel better tomorrow.[hr][@FallenTrinity][@PrimalOrigins]
