"It's natural," Rory said quietly. "Do whatever you have to to feel normal again, right? I mean, I trekked off for a summer when I was going through this last time. And this time I'm just repressing."
She flushed a bit. "Um, not that what's happening to me is at all the same. A very good friend of mine left very suddenly a few days ago, but it's not a big deal or anything, really."
Archie studied her face for a moment and took advantage of the opportunity to change the subject. "I spent a great deal of time hanging about the theaters before I joined the navy," he said slowly. "And Rory, I mean no offense, but . . . you are not, at least at the moment, the most convincing actress."
Rory actually laughed at that. "No, I guess not, huh? I've never been a good liar. So, okay, it is a huge deal, but it doesn't have to affect anyone but me. The way I'm feeling, I mean, not Anakin leaving."
Rory waved a hand dismissively. "Welcome distraction, honestly. I'm trying to keep from moping all over everything, and listening to other people's issues actually helps. I am sorry you're going through the weirdness, though."
