Morning!Quinn Part 2

{Previously}

Quinn could hear the lesson behind the words, and it wasn't lost on her. Sometimes she laid in bed at night wondering if Wade was alright, if Scotty had gotten a scholarship to CU like he'd wanted, if Erin and her beau were still together, whether it was worse leaving or being left...

"Thing is, I can't undo the past," she sighed. "But at least Immortality gives me a chance to set it right."

She might've been talking about Wade, or Adam, or something else entirely.

"No you can't but that much is true. You can set it right."

He's not sure who he is talking about either.

Regrets were a part of Immortality just the same as swords and aliases, and it wasn't often that a second, third, or even fourth chance presented itself. But when it did, it couldn't be ignored.

"Rather like us, huh?" she asked with a knowing tilt to her head.

"I don't think that there is anything that defines us, Quinn. What are we, exactly?"

[identity profile] broadsword-babe.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
The answer was deceptively simple, and she replied with a cheeky smirk.

"You mean besides old friends who've long since stopped actually wanting to kill each other?"

[identity profile] iris-angel.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
He grins, "Yes, we have stopped that. Although, we aren't opposed to prank or break each other."

[identity profile] broadsword-babe.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
She winced playfully, but still looked properly chastised.

"So which is it? Paybacks or what?" she asked with a raised eyebrow, but then turned serious. "And no more pranks, maiming, killing or otherwise breaking. Well, outside of sparring practice anyway. I promise. Deal?"

She held out her hand for him to shake, sealing the bargain. Not that there really was one, but still. She always kept her word.

[identity profile] iris-angel.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
He looks at her hand for a moment as if trying to decide. Finally he takes it, "Deal. Sparring practice only."

It all depends on what they define as 'sparring'.

[identity profile] broadsword-babe.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
She was starting to think she'd have to push up her sleeves to show she wasn't wearing any hidden daggers or anything before he finally shook it. She tried not to let out an obvious sigh of relief. At least they'd managed to put that much behind them.

"Right. So, lunch or brewery? Or did you have something else in mind?"

[identity profile] iris-angel.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Brewery." He says with a grin.

[identity profile] broadsword-babe.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
"No need to ask you twice, is there?" she laughed. "Hope you don't mind the walk. It's only about a mile down the road. Just a good stretch of the legs."

[identity profile] iris-angel.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Thankfully, I have the legs for it." He says with a smirk as he gets to his feet and stretches.

[identity profile] broadsword-babe.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Not that she'd admit it, but yeah, she couldn't help admiring said legs or his lean torso. She quickly drained the last of her water, trying not to appear too obvious before standing and walking back out into the entry hall. Quinn whistled for the dog who came bounding down the stairs.

"Right then, shall we?"

[identity profile] iris-angel.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes."

He follows her and continues to talk, "I wasn't going to tell Alexa about myself. She found out by accident when we were in Greece. I left her to help MacLeod and while I was gone, she was left to site seeing. There was a statue erected in my honor that I...forgot about. It was for the first Olympic games in Athens. I won the very first foot race. Anyway, she saw the statue and...put two and two together. It was too much of a coincidence that my very unique face was etched in marble."

[identity profile] broadsword-babe.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Quinn resisted the urge to laugh. The thought of Adam immortalized, no pun intended, in marble just struck her as funny.

"And since the Greeks are fairly well known for their admiration of the human form, I'm sure there aren't any well-placed fig leaves."

Though she didn't laugh outright, her eyes sparkled with mirth as she gave him an exaggerated, approving look.

"So, should I go change into my running things and make a race out of it?"

[identity profile] iris-angel.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
"No. And let me tell you, it IS to scale."

Actually, larger, but he's not going to tell her that.

"Maybe some other day."

[identity profile] broadsword-babe.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Fair enough," she replied with a bit of a smile and opened the front door. Naturally, Brutæ was the first one out. "I usually run first thing most mornings anyway if you ever had a mind to join me."

[identity profile] iris-angel.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
"If you get me out of bed, then I'll join you."

[identity profile] broadsword-babe.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
She raised an eyebrow as they started the walk down the drive.

"Not a morning person then?"

[identity profile] iris-angel.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
"I am. It's getting me motivated, these days. That's the problem."

[identity profile] broadsword-babe.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
She looked at him and thought she saw a touch of sadness in his eyes, but that could also very well be a trick of the light. Losing someone was never easy and she could tell that he'd cared for Alexa deeply. But there would be time to ask about her later.

"Motivation, huh?" she teased instead. "Do I need to dangle a carrot in front of you, then?"

[identity profile] iris-angel.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm not a horse. Although, a good beer will do." He says, his eyes now back to where they were before talking about Alexa.
