[He gives Gamora an unreadable look. But mostly he's thinking 'why would you bring that up' and 'what does exs mean, literally'. Then it's back at Blue.]

I see how that would be useful.

[gamora]

( 'Because, Adam Warlock, Blue will know when you're not telling the whole truth. And then he will look at you and you'll end up explaining things and it's much easier to just get it over with. Also because that's the connection he's referring to, you giant flarking idiot.'

Okay so maybe that's not the look Gamora gives Adam in return - instead she just shrugs - a simple 'why not' and doesn't bother answering the last part of that. )

Right.

( That 'UNDERSTAND' is making her twitchy. Oh Pama is he sparkling? )

[the glow's much implied, but it wanes – so does his smile, to some degree. his brow pinches, apologetic.

they came to this room for a reason, and it wasn't for show-and-tell with someone like him. he knows.]

But only just enough. [dipping his head again while he moves past the both of them, laying hand on the door.]

[awarlock]

[Empathy can be like poison. He doesn't say it but he watches Blue and sees how that can be true. He can't even deal with his own emotions, nevermind other peoples.]

Please — Stay, I'll go.

[He nods at Gamora and then a flash of light, and he's gone.]

[gamora]

( Adam's sudden departure doesn't surprise Gamora in the slightest as she flops down on her bed - tucking her arms behind her head to stare upwards. )

That's Adam for you.

( REFUSING TO SAY MORE ON THE MATTER? REFUSING TO SAY MORE ON THE MATTER. )

[Blue turns, mouth open. he's ready to protest, but--

oh.

he looks over at Gamora, still startled, but...more troubled.]

Did I upset him...?

[gamora]

Sometimes I think it's impossible to upset him unless you're committing genocide on a large scale.

( not helpful. )

[firstroar]

[get ready for the most significant tag of this thread:









stare.]

[gamora]

( STARES BACK )

He's-- ( endlessly frustrating, too willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good, flarking impossible to deal with on a daily basis, the actual perfect human being at least when it comes to everything but personality, a giant idiot, & so on and so forth ) different.

Far too concerned with the fate of the universe to bother with anything else.

[firstroar]

[and you, sister. psychic. but he'll let it go. she's not concerned...he'll try not to be.

try.]

As you say...

[sigh. looking back over his shoulder at the door.] I'll let him be. [back at her:] And you, as well. Do you want me to bring you anything from the cafeteria when I return, Gamora?

[gamora]

Don't take it personally, that's just who he is.

( she turns away from him again, closing her eyes for a moment or two. )

I'm fine, Blue.

[firstroar]

Very well.

[he nods, even if she isn't looking, and leaves.
