[he doesn't even listen to himself, she thinks. Maria doesn't know why she gives him the time to let him get his thoughts in order, let him get his words out carefully; because it all just ends up being complete bullshit.
his excuse for what he had done previously makes her already irritated look darken more, and she sighs, this time dancing them away from an obstacle that comes up. not that he deserves her help but damn it, they have a show to put on. an audience to entertain. at the very least, she'll care about her life. he's certainly not going to care about hers.
other people here had told her she was real, no matter what her origins were. other people cared which just seemed impossible of James to do.]
I'm not supposed to be here? You were taken away before me, you know. Maybe you manifested me but [she leans in close, hands on his shoulders so she can whisper in his ear] I'm here now. I'm not letting you ruin this for me. [she pulls back, still glaring at him.] People have told me they'll work to make me able to stay here. Make sure I'm safe. Funny how kindness works, doesn't it?
[she's just getting irritated and she sighs, looking away. it doesn't matter how she feels about this, about him; James won't care. she knows that about him. James will never care about her.] I don't know why I tried to stop Heather from hating you. Not that I think it did much good. She can't stand you.
