well  this  was  just  a  cruel  twist  of  fate.  while  ace  knew  they  wouldn’t  be  here  long,  fully  trusting  someone  else  to  take  care  of  the  finer  details  to  get  them  out  of  this  windowless  box-  not  windowless  actually.  the  glass  in  front  of  them  wasn’t  just  a  mirror  for  show,  they  knew  the  room  on  the  other  side  was  packed  with  agents  looking  to  put  them  in  a  single  cell  for  the  rest  of  their  life.  that  thought  makes  them  laugh  a  little.  it’s  when  the  door  opens  and  a  very  familiar  face  walks  in  that  ace’s  laughter  dies.  “well  shit.”

      ‘     this party’s BORING, i’m not drunk enough yet, and everyone sucks ---- wanna get out of here?     ’

emil stands now over the corpse, hidden in the shadow of wall buildings and heavy rain clouds. he should turn and run but she’s looking at him. and it makes him feel immobile. umber hues look down at the dead body and then back up at juliette. he is both worried and curious about what she’ll do. she’s a woman of the law and what he does is very illegal. he just ruined her case. he shouldn’t be so fascinated to see her response, but he is. she’s seen him and it’s too late to go back. now he just wonders what she will do about it. 

 A  BROW  IS  ARCHED  TOWARDS  his  hairline  in  scepticism.  "Tell  me  about  it,  looks  like  we're  trying  to  understand  my  brain."  Making  self-deprecating  gags  about  lack  of  memory  had  become  a  practice  for  Samuel.  At  least  it  made  the  situation  less  frustrating.  "I  think  we  deserve  a  break."  

eyes water the longer they stay locked on jules. he hasn’t been fine for a long time. head shakes and he whispers it hoarsely  “  i can’t remember the last time i felt okay.  ”  he has had to be fine. even when he isn’t. he just keeps going because there is no other choice. he lives in a state of disquiet, of a perturbed and aching soul that longs for just a moment of peace. the closest he feels to serenity is when she’s there.  “  it’s calmer when i’m with you,  ”  he admits after a moment, offering a small smile as he reaches out to take her hand. maybe that’s the most he can ask for. the ability to breathe a little easier. to see a little light in all the darkness. she gives him that and maybe that’s enough.
