Congratulations. You won. Here's to an eternity of the status quo.

[After a pause]

Billy... Please tell me you're alright.

[AND IN THE BACKGROUND YOU CAN HEAR RAYNE SHOUTING THE FOLLOWING]

JESUSFUCKINGCHRISTMONKEYBALLS! SOMEONE BETTER BE LETTING ME OUT OF HERE OR-

[OOC: Major McCrazyface is in Level 0 now with a bandaged, possibly broken hand, a STILL stitched up leg, and a frown :c I'm pretty sure Inmates can't initiate private filters, hence his having to ask about Billy in public. ANYWAY. Visit him if you'd like; just spam it in this post]

[Morgan shakes her head.]

No. Not for you. I can't speak for any of the other Inmates. All I know is that for you, whatever your intentions, it ended in backsliding.

[She's quiet for a moment, thinking, but she realizes she'd only ever read about what had happened to him. The colony hadn't been a suitable example of what he could do under pressure, because he'd done right then.]

But without seeing it, I only ever could have guessed what it was like, or what I'd be working against. Other than the reforms you were seeking, I want to see some good come out of this. So maybe it has to be that.

[He swallows, looks away, feeling really low right now]

I've made a mess of everything, haven't I?

[Then, in a smaller voice]

You're not going to keep me and Billy apart because of this, are you?

[Morgan sighs and slowly nods, leaning against the bars on her good side to take some of the pressure off her leg.]

Yeah, you did. But you weren't alone, and I'm not gonna treat you like you were.

[She frowns at his question, thinking for a moment that when she'd been more angry about all this, after it died down to the point that she wasn't simply thinking of asking for a transfer, she had considered doing just that -- separating them. And if he were still talking the way he had been the day before, she might have.]

You know that's not just my decision, right? I have to talk it over with Reid.

I started it. I planned the entire thing, from the guns to the kidnappings to the situation with the hostages.

[Moodswing!]

It's not his decision, either.

From: [personal profile] gimmethemap
[While she's pleased he's being responsible for his actions she's not going to say that and risk making him angrier. She answers the last with surprising calm.] Billy is his Inmate. I am your Warden. If I say you can and he has other things in mind, I have to respect his decision.

If he says otherwise, there's nothing he can do to enforce it.

From: [personal profile] gimmethemap
[Sigh.] Henry, you can't assume responsibility one minute and then get all indignant the minute talk of discipline comes up; it's childish. Now I'm telling you that I have no problem with the two of you continuing to be around each other, and I'm not saying for certain that Reid will, either, but you need to be prepared for that and bear in mind that whatever happens it very likely won't be permanent. All right?

[He scoffs] I have no problem with discipline when it's warranted, but it is not childish to have an aversion to torture. [And maybe that sounds melodramatic, but considering what West has gone through, losing each and every person who's mattered to him, having to hold a hand or two while they died, or put them down himself, the thought of losing Billy IS torture to him]

[So he doesn't say anything for a while]

Right.

I know how that would make you feel, Henry, and that's why I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that doesn't happen.

[She reaches for something to say, and realizes there's one thing she's never once said to him. It doesn't feel like much, but it's all she's got.]

Everything is going to be all right.

Perhaps...

[He runs a hand through his hair]

Everybody hates me right now-- with good reason.

And if you want that to change you're going to have to let them. Time and patience. And trust. You can't forget about trust.

That's good of you. [She frowns.] But I think they should be the ones to hear it.

I was just telling you, so... Billy and the others don't get the blame for it. I did send Charlie after Sam, to get the gun, and... a part of me knew exactly what he was going to do.

What good would that bring?

[He sighs]

So what's going to happen to me?

It would show me and them that you're not just claiming to take responsibility. It'll also look better for you in the longrun.

[She shifts on her feet, using the cane to transfer some of her weight.]

For now, you're going to enjoy a week here in Level 0 while the Wardens try to come to some agreement and write it down like the Admiral wants us to. I'll come to see you, bring you your medicine as you need it; we'll talk.

Fair enough. [He seems to think for a moment] I don't feel as bad about all this as everybody probably thinks I should. I have few regrets.

From: [identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com
I didn't plan well enough, and I allowed some people I care for to get caught up in it. That's all.

[SPAM]

gimmethemap: (all right fine)

[Her face falls.]

What do I need to do to stop you from planning altogether?

Show me that the Wardens deserve their station. If they behave like something to aspire to, we'd be more inclined to listen.

[He gets up and approaches the bars, looking at Morgan]

But I do want to say that... If I must have a Warden, I'm glad it's you.
