BWI Airport, Portalocity Lounge, Saturday Morning

[hasthegirlballs.livejournal.com]

So everyone else had, like, dramatic backstories and reasons to show up here and stuff. Which was fine, you know, if you were emotionally in the zone enough to go to those kinda lengths. Denise had just been, you know, chilling with her dad last night watching some hockey guys really pound in on each other - no, seriously, really get into it. One of them broke a rib or something, which was kinda cool.

Then she'd been dropped off at the airport, gotten a ticket stuffed into her hands, and that was that. No reason to get all dramatic and touchy-feely about it.

And now it was Saturday morning and she was on the airport. Sitting around. Chugging water and listening to her discman while watching the kids down the hall, trying to figure out how they were gonna croak. Sure, there was some kind of shuttle supposed to show up, but it wasn't there yet. A girl had to keep herself busy.

She figured the dweebs starting to mill around the terminal were probably classmates or something. Lame.

"I've never heard of London. Is it far from here?"

Rosalind was... bad at small talk. She shifted a bit awkwardly and let the question stand.

Christian blinked. "It's across the ocean," he said. "Largest city in England, actually. Where would you be from?"

He'd heard Americans were ignorant, but he hadn't dreamed it went quite that far.

"Midgar," she replied, a bit haughtily. "It's largest city on The Planet."

"What country is it in?" Christian asked, uneasy. He wasn't about to accuse her of making things up, but there'd never been a Midgar in any of his lessons.

"It's on the Eastern Continent," she said, resisting the urge to do something so silly as shrug. "You've never heard of it?"

Of course he hadn't.

"I don't know as much as I should about the Orient," Christian said. "You'll have to teach me."

Rosalind blinked at him.

... The Orient?

"As soon as I figure it out myself," she said, very dryly.
