Walk A Mile: Epilogue (Nexus LOL Conclusion)

[workthroughit]

While these meetings would perhaps suggest the formality of his desk, Dr. Hill instead is strolling through the Nexus, smiling as he watches the snowflakes drift down from the sky. A take-away cup is held in both his hands, the drink gently steaming.

He seems content to just wander for a time, more interested in his coffee and the falling snow than addressing anyone just yet. The psychoanalyst seems perfectly unaware how bizarre his previous appearance ended up being, or that his prolonged absence since then was also sorely noted. Unaware or uncaring.

Finally, after one last sip of coffee, he simply asks, tone light and conversational: "Well? What did we learn?"

"Yeah any of this 'learn to be a better you' thing kiiinda went out the window when my partner started abusing my body and threatened to kill it if I crossed him. And has been a childish...." Sigh. Jim is tired of explaining this.

He's tired of this entire affair.

"I have learned something from all of this, but it's none of your damned business." And he's not one hundred percent sure it's true, but if it is it changes everything between himself and Felix. And god is that frightening.

"Oh? Has he? Well, that's not really conducive to growth, is it. Me and your partner will have words, don't fret. Your patience in this exercise is well-noted."

A pause. Then he asks with a cheeky squint, "What's it like having a tail?"

"...Like my ass is falling out of my pants and dragging on the floor. It honestly just got in the way, more than anything."

Jim never did figure out what muscle to flex to get it not to do that reliably. And not for lack of trying. Not that he'd admit to trying, either.

"...I didn't mind the abs though."

"He's remarkably well-kept for someone who appears so old, isn't he? I wonder what his secret is." A lot of sit-ups, probably. Lifting big rocks? Ixian secrets!
