day 2 (after trial)

[heroizes]

[ Ever since Jack had seen the profile cards, there had been an immediate and heavy sense of guilt to settle in his gut, because... Good lord, a lot of these really hot people were so young? It wasn't an isolated case, which made him feel worse, but none so much as Elizabeth, who, uh.

Well. He didn't want to think too much about just much he'd been charmed by her. Like, it was the embarrassing "meeting Mox for the first time" level, and that was something he'd never wanted to relive. And yet, here he was, trying to mack on a twenty year old. Dammit.

It's something he's actually pretty embarrassed about, and it's why he hadn't approached her earlier. He knew he really should have, but he at least gave himself the excuse that things had gotten a little crazy what with people turning up dead and all. Still, it's not something he wants to let sit too long, lest she think he's... God, a creepy old perv? He doesn't know. He hates this.

Regardless, after the execution (and probably body cleanup, yikes) as everyone disperses, Jack approaches Elizabeth. He waves idly to catch her eye, though once he's done so, he'll step closer to speak to her. ]

Hey, Liz- [ :) ] Y'mind if we chat real quick? I've got something I want to tell you.

[ It seems like there was going to be a long night for everyone. Even if curfews were so strictly enforced, Elizabeth knew there wouldn't be much else keeping her from thinking about this until she falls asleep. Elizabeth did her part, both good and bad, in this "trial" and she's having to own up to that.

It makes her wonder: how did the girls in Rapture do this? How did they lead people on, make them do the dirty work or just... dance like puppets on strings?

When she hears her name - er, nickname - she stops in her tracks to turn to the familiar man who... honestly, hadn't spoke to her since she made him breakfast.

Rude. ]

If it's about freezing the body, I can assure you, it was just a suggestion that -

[ But, she studies him a bit more, getting the feeling it was something else. ]

Can I help you with something?
