It's quieter in the upstairs hallway, and there's less evidence of impending disaster up here. It's almost enough to allow you to forget what's going on downstairs, or to write it off.

Almost. Not quite.

Jack turns to Beckett as they reach his room.  "You want to come in for one more drink?"

He doesn't want to say it out loud, but there's a part of him that doesn't want to be alone just yet.

She takes a moment, briefly, to consider the offer - and then she considers the alternative.

"Yeah, sure. Okay," she agrees, nodding once. "I mean, what's one more going to hurt, right?"

"Mmm. If there's any reason for her to start getting generous, it's the damn apocalypse," Beckett mutters, following at a short distance and leaning in the doorway, lingering behind.

"Or whatever all of this is supposed to be."

She shakes her head, straightening her posture from where she's standing slouched.

"No, that's - that's good, thanks."

"Thanks."

She takes the glass in hand and moves to sit, drawing her legs up underneath herself after a beat, clasping the tumbler in a few fingers.

"It's almost - surreal."

"More than the norm, then," she replies, glancing over in his direction, her own smile masked by the sip she takes from her glass.

"At least the normal we're used to."

"And now it has."

She rests her elbow along the top of the couch cushions, pivoting herself towards him.

"What do you think about that?"
fanofthegenre: (glance.)

"Exactly. We're adaptable creatures," Beckett agrees, staring into the contents of her drink before downing a good portion.

It's possible this drink is catching up with the others she's had downstairs.

"Yeah?"
fanofthegenre: (fondness.)

"Are you sure you're not just saying that 'cause it might be the end of the world?"

She tilts her cheek into her hand, lips curving in a slow smile.

"I know," she softly adds, after a beat.

"I'm grateful too, you know. For everyone I've met here, for every way I've been helped. For you."
fanofthegenre: (looking back.)

"You've helped with plenty," Beckett insists, her voice quiet.

"Really, I don't - I don't know how to thank you."
fanofthegenre: (twist.)

From: [personal profile] fanofthegenre


"Well, I can't not thank you," she replies, giving him a look over the rim of her glass.

"So now we're at an impasse."
fanofthegenre: (curls.)

"I can live with mutual," she replies, idly tapping her index finger against her glass before polishing off the contents in a few sips.

"It's better than the alternative."

"Not having it be mutual?" she replies, raising an eyebrow as her mouth quirks in a slow grin.
