Breathe in the light, I'll stay here in the shadows

Who: CF and CC
What: Shit gets real
Where: one of the spare, busted up storage rooms of the moon base (i.e.: home)
When: 10/21 whenever-the-space-o'clock pm
Warnings: Talk of change!!!

She's already in by the time the shrill screech of doors being forced along their tracks alerts her to Charlie's presence. It's not uncommon for them to cross paths, but lately, even after the flat and the business and the trip back in time, it's been...difficult. Coping mechanisms and all that. Chloe's spent more time shadowing the footsteps of other conscripts (judging, mostly) while Charlie's been-- shit. She hasn't got a clue what he's been doing. And when their lines cross it's fine-- the literal definition of it and nothing more-- because everything about this place, everything they've left behind is stuck under their skin like glass shards: too irritating to ignore, impossible to dig up.

Perched over in the far corner of their living space that feels more like a mangled tin can than anything resembling a room, Chloe keeps focused on unfolding a sheet of something that looks like thin, finely crinkled aluminum instead of turning about to greet him, tucks the edges of it overtop the flattened out mattress and spare cloth that is their bed.
