made waves with some friends I know

[fightlikehell]

 

The season is a'changing, the weather is warmer. The forecast calls for high temperature, low humidity and a light breeze. A near perfect day. What better reason to gather the friends and have a good time with a bonfire? Grab a beer, have a seat. Cheery tunes fill the salty air. There's plenty of room and so much to eat.

Matt Murdock is actually dressed for the beach. Still likely more than usual. He burns so easily. There's no way he could have done this alone. Anyone who is anyone in Nexus knows that there is that distinct Verity Willis touch on everything. If the sounds and the sights don't get you, it is going to be whatever Clint has on the grill. That man is magic.

[ooc; Come on in, guys and gals! Hop threads, twist time for sooner, later and all things in between. It's a real party. Don't be shy!]

He's a big ball of prickliness most of the time. Apart from Chewie, who must have the patience of a saint, his interactions have been predominantly with criminals - many of whom are just cruel and sociopathic. That he has any idea how to talk to navigate through a conversation with a decent person is downright amazing, though, one could surmise that it's taken its toll.

His biggest problem is that he's not working on his issues. Some of them, he can't fix here in the Nexus, but most of them, he's just resolute not to.

Anyway, yes, his behavior has been pretty consistent with her since he came to the realization that they should be friends and he doesn't know how to have them. She keeps waiting for him to fall out of that pattern behavior and he's not. Formerly a problem of irresistible force versus the immovable object, but it seems as if his hard-headedness has warn her down.

Han begins taking off his boots and socks. Not really the action of someone interested in going over to a party. Neither is sitting down in the sand. "Have fun dancing, sweetheart."

Frankly, it's a miracle she lasted as long as she did. Her own issues are myriad, and the work she's doing to try and resolve some of them is emotionally exhausting. There's a point at which she has to prioritize taking care of herself.

"That's the point of dancing, sweetheart. You should try it some time." The smile's already back in her voice, even if he can't see it.

How could he ever dream of faulting a person for looking out for number one. That is the only thing that makes any sense to him in the great wide multiverse.

"Is it?" He says. Whether she's walking away from him or not the thought is worth mulling over. More often, dancing for him had been part of a job. "Nobody mentioned before."

The fact that she's smiling as she turns away says something, doesn't it? Leave it to Han to decide he doesn't care to think of what it is. He twists off the bottle cap and takes the first sip of this beer.
