The Fin & Tonic, Sunday Night

Out here, the days were spent in the sun, enjoying the beach, drinks, a good swim or five; and then there were the evening hours, after they'd had dinner at the diner on the porch, where Lucifer searched valiantly for other ways to relax.

No, not just that. Perverts.

Tonight, he'd found himself on the Fin & Tonic's quite luxurious sofa, with a large bucket of popcorn. He paged through Netflix, searching for just. The right. Terrible action movie. Having found it, he leaned forward to grab a refill from his massive pitcher of margarita.

Should he call over Octavia or Duke? Ah, they'd find him if they wanted to join him, surely.

"Words matter," Octavia replied, mildly. "If you ask for an apology, you get an apology. The feeling's there, the right sentiment, but actual understanding? That's anyone's guess."

The pause and the thinking still didn't save him from this:

"What?" Octavia asked.

Though not in a 'how dare you say that?' kind of way, but rather an 'I don't understand what you're saying' one.
okteiviakom: ([neu] that's a bad plan)

Suppose it was Octavia's turn to feel like maybe she was crazy for seeing things differently.

She finally straightened up from her until now persistent lean against his shoulder. "Then I guess I don't," she said, looking... weirded out, for lack of a better term.
okteiviakom: ([neu] what's that?)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2025-01-09 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"You seriously can't tell the difference between an 'I'm sorry' and an 'I heard what you said and I understand what you meant'?" Octavia asked. "Because I can."
okteiviakom: ([neu] considering)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2025-01-09 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Clearly not, because I remember saying 'acknowledgment' after you said 'apology."
okteiviakom: ([neu] that's a bad plan)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2025-01-09 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"We're not talking about Duke right now," Octavia replied, "we're talking about you."

Well, Octavia was, anyway. Whether that would come as a surprise to him was a separate matter.
okteiviakom: ([neu] sit quietly)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2025-01-09 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"You already did."

... Oh, hey. Maybe that was the actual issue that was making itself known here.
okteiviakom: ([neu] dramatic in profile)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2025-01-09 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"Holding him like I was something he needed to be protected from and berating me was not a winning combination, Lucifer," Octavia told him, just as flat.
okteiviakom: ([neg] what oh no)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2025-01-09 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"I didn't need you to take my side," Octavia snapped, "I just needed you to not make me feel alone!"
okteiviakom: ([neu] doubting you)

"I'm not talking about any specific moment, I'm talking about the whole thing," Octavia said, looking perturbed and battling a rising urge to bolt again. "Not that you should still be thinking the apology thing was something that felt to me like you having my back, since I think we just established I didn't understand it how you meant it. If that's even what you're talking about."

She really didn't know anymore.

Including how she'd landed here when she'd planned not to rehash the original fight again, even with some things still not sitting right with her.
okteiviakom: ([neu] challenge)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2025-01-09 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"And why do you think I ran in the first place?"

"Because looking weak in front of your united front stopped feeling like an option," Octavia replied, in a clipped tone.
