After everything, why this...?
*comes into the House soaking wet and miserable, collapsing immediately upon closing the door, kneeling with her face in her hands and fat droplets dripping from her skirts and hair upwards into the ceiling to form small puddles that will irritate her later if they don't evaporate first*

*has her acoustic slung across her back and a small knapsack clutched in her hands by the straps, making for the door as Clara is coming in* Heya, Clara. Got caught in the up pour?

*doesn't move for a few seconds, then sniffs loudly, wiping her face with her hands before laying them listlessly in her lap and gazing morosely at her fingers* ........Yes. I did.

*tries to laugh a little and stops abruptly when she realizes how dangerous that is* ...It's not the rain. The rain is annoying. I don't care. It's not the rain.

...Right. Of course. Never mind then. ...Have you told anyone else, yet, that you're leaving? *sighs, putting her face back in her hands* My best friend went crazy and is murdering people and I've had to cut him off. *well, might as well be blunt... feels like something is stuck in her throat now, blinks rapidly*

*freezes, doesn't even remember to breathe for the longest time, just stares at Vorpal... then slowly, slowly, gets to her feet and draws herself up to her full height (5'3"! :D), glaring coldly at her* Get out. Get out of my house. Leave and don't ever come back. If I ever see you again, I swear....

*so indifferent to the situation that it could almost be construed as funny; picks up her knapsack, which clinks ominously, and moves towards the door again* Whadda ya think I was doin' before you started your sobfest?

That was different. You were leaving. Now I'm throwing you out. Leave faster, please. ...And while you're at, don't even think about going near Mal. Ever.

*actually snarls, trembling with rage and digging her nails into the palms of her hands... can't move or speak for a few seconds, but then slowly and deliberately reaches into her purse, pulling out Faye's Glock and aiming it with perfect accuracy at Vorpal's head, thumbing off the safety* I offer you the same courtesy, you unholy creature. Get. Out. *gun hand trembling only slightly*

*any traces of amusement that were on her face are now wiped completely -- a shot to the head would undo her faster than she could raise one of her dead; without a single word, she puts the door between herself and Clara, stepping out in the upward pouring rain and onto the road*

*stands stock still, keeping the gun pointed at the door, her heart in her throat... after a few moments takes a few swift steps over to the door, making sure it's closed and locked and peeking out a window to make sure Vorpal's actually leaving... thus assured, she thumbs the safety back on and drops the gun to the floor with a clatter as dizziness and nausea hit her... collapses back on the floor on her hands and knees, breathing heavily*

*hey, how about that, he would be right!... sniffs loudly again, raising her head and wiping her eyes... reaches for the gun that is still on the floor and shoves it back in her purse, looking embarrassed and ashamed, unable to meet his eyes* ............Mal... I'm so sorry....

*didn't notice the gun until Clara picked it up - and put it in her purse?!; takes a half-step back, worried that this is some crazy double until she speaks... and how would a double know his name?* What happened? *with trepidation*

*sits down carefully on the ground next to Clara, crossing his legs and resting his elbows on his knees* ....Yeah. She's been acting really weird lately. *glad this is only a domestic dispute and no new catastrophe* Did you two have a fight?

*stomach sinking - he is a little less surprised, thinking back on their joking outing with the zombies* Shit. *presses a hand against his brow, almost too overwhelmed by all the violence and awfulness that he can't feel any worse for this new blow* Are you OK?

*opens his mouth to say that that would have been great but catches himself - this is CLARA after all, of course she's torn up even though she didn't do anything* But you didn't, so don't feel guilty. *sighs, reaching over and putting a hand on top of Clara's head reassuringly - for some reason he can't bring himself to hug her, as much as he would like to* It's been a bad month, hasn't it?

*barely listening to him* She told me she would kill you. I've never felt so.... I would kill for you, Mal. In a heartbeat! *sobs harder upon saying this* What am I... horrible... I don't know... I don't know anymore! *sobsobsob, still feels nauseous*

*despite what he's been telling himself about nothing being able to get through to him after all that has happened, this manages too; Mal draws in a sharp breath, thoughts racing* Well ... she's just one more person on the list, huh? *swallows, running his nails across the back of his neck very hard and trying to keep his breathing steady* The bitch. *voice cracking; clears his throat* Do you think we should leave? She knows where we are, and it might not be safe for us here. I mean, she can't be happy you pointed a gun at her. You didn't have to, you know.

I... I don't know... God, Mal, I don't know.... *trying to calm down enough to think* I don't know where... Father Thomas? He would give us cots, and that's a different dimension entirely.... *sniffs, shaking, scrubbing at her eyes* I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I was angry. And scared.

How long would it take to get there? *in practical mode, because it helps him not think about the fact that the girl he had a crush on wanted to kill him and that so do half a dozen serial killers and that the sky has gone red exactly like the elderly people in Ishbal always said it would when the world was dying* Why are you apologizing? You defended me. *strained smile* You're a brave woman.

*forcing herself to calm down and concentrate* Depends on if we're walking... oh, phones, can't call cab, so... walking... half an hour? Forty minutes? We could probably find a cab once we get into town.... *shakes her head* Not brave. Desperate. Everything's falling apart.
