week 6 - mary - saturday post-trial

[completelycrazy]

[Newt tracks down Mary as soon as he can after the trial. They, uh, sure have some things to talk about, huh!

He finds her at the kotatsu in the greenhouse. This isn't all the private, but... Whatever? It probably doesn't matter at this point. Everyone's just kind of milling around, anyway.]

Hey. [He sits down next to her and gestures at her back.] I like your wings.

[He gives her a squeeze.]

I know. I'm sorry. I don't want to miss you either... But I will think about it, okay? I mean that. If I can stay in my world and still work with you, then that's a game-changer. The problem is just, um, if I can't.

[withsadness]

I just want things to be good all the time...

[She heaves a sad sigh and wraps him up in a hug, all but pulling herself into his lap.]

But if there was never anything that made you sad, then the good things wouldn't mean anything...that's what I bet Anthy would tell me.

[Screw it, he's completing the journey for her. He pulls her into his lap and rests his chin on her head for a moment.]

Yeah, that's true, but it doesn't make the sad things any less sad, you know? But I'm glad I got to know you, even if we don't get to see each other anymore after tomorrow.

[He's hoping that won't be the case, but it's not like they're out of the woods yet.]

We'll ask Anthy or Max or someone about it after the whole judgment thing, okay? There's gotta be something we can finagle.
