[tucky]

No.

[She crosses her arms over her legs, resting her chin on them.]

Feeling worse, actually.

[recinerate]

[without asking (because what are boundaries, what is personal space), beyond hops up on the bench next to her, perched birdlike. it's a curiously childish pose for a man of his age. he studies tiffany for a moment, chewing on the end of his thumb.]

I suppose that's to be expected. Shock is common for people who've experienced such a trauma as you did.

[no, actually, people who've experienced a trauma like tiffany are typically dead afterwards and unable to feel shock.]

[tucky]

[She looks a little surprised, but she doesn't get up or shift away from him.]

Can I have a cigarette?

[recinerate]

Certainly.

[he digs the mostly-empty pack of gitanes cassel gave him out of his pocket, along with a lighter, holds them out for her to take.

and then, because he enjoys pushing buttons, testing for cracks, he adds:]

It's not as if they'll kill you.

[tucky]

[She takes the joke as a serious comment, and shakes her head.]

Nah, you know, they actually can if you smoke 'em too much. They give you cancer.

[recinerate]

I think it hardly matters if you're already dead.

[it's not so much a joke, but he's content to hammer the point a little harder.]

[tucky]

We ain't dead forever, you know.

[recinerate]

You of course would be an expert on the subject.

[tucky]

[She sighs wearily.]

You just here to make fun of me?

[recinerate]

[he shakes his head, expression serious.]

Do you think this is funny, Tiffany?

[tucky]

No. It's the exact opposite.

[recinerate]

You could have fooled me. You don't seem to be taking it terribly seriously.

[tucky]

[She lifts her head to look at him.]

You're wrong, okay? I take it really seriously.

[recinerate]

But not seriously enough to exercise more caution.

[tucky]

I don't know why you think I'm not doing that.

[recinerate]

You said you don't regret giving the inmate who killed you the benefit of the doubt.

[tucky]

Yeah, I guess I did say that. And I... I don't know her real well. But people who do know her, and people who know people like her - they're saying I probably insulted her by accident when I showed up all by myself. So I regret that. I regret thinking what worked for one person would work for somebody else.

[recinerate]

People who know her ... like the other wardens she's attacked, perhaps?

[tucky]

I don't know. In one of the cases, maybe; not in the other.

But I do know she's got people she likes. I think one of them should be her warden. You can't be a team with someone you wanna kill.

[recinerate]

There are people here who are quite concerned about your welfare, Tiffany.

[tucky]

There are people who think I'm a bad person now.

[recinerate]

Because you were killed by your inmate?

[tucky]

Because they think I fuck everything up.

[recinerate]

"Everything" is a broad category, Tiffany. Too broad for any one person.

[tucky]

I don't think I fuck everything up. But I know I don't do everything right, neither.
