the boos and the bees [closed to willard and clara] [backdated to the 22nd]
It was a perfectly ordinary end to a perfectly ordinary day in old London town. The sky was cloudy, the birds were singing, people were happily chatting amongst themselves as they wrapped up their daily business, and all was well.
Or, almost all. On the winding streets of Harrow this afternoon, one random asshole appears to be holding an argument with himself, seemingly oblivious to the strange looks he's earning from passers-by. However, the narrative also refuses to consider him as a valid point of view, and the focus shifts instead to the unsettling chill lingering on the sidewalk in his wake, endangering the half-lit streetlamps out of sheer annoyance.
Today was a bad lightbulb day, apparently. Many weep at the incoming hike of electrical prices.
"--and being unconscious for two days is still ridiculous. Completely ridiculous. I don't get why you think that's okay." So, maybe Aradia's been circling this particular topic for the past twenty minutes, but her point is clearly the sensible one. All she has to do is repeat it enough times for it to sink in past Mystery Dude's dumbass skull and she's won.

He did, and now she doesn't have to feel bad about being the only one who made that mistake. In front of Clara. This is probably not a good thing, but she'll take refuge wherever it comes, despite that being a much stronger outburst then the one Aradia earned. Which... switches her reaction from 'amused' back to 'worse', guilt and panic starting to mingle in annoying waves that get shoved down because she's okay. The whole point is that she's okay.
She totally didn't scoot back a little. At all. Nope. This wasn't meant to be about her problems, how did it come to this.
"Maybe I'm just getting better with control?" Except there's three ruined lights in the past hour alone that say otherwise, despite all attempts to pin it on her temper. Next- "And that's kinda balanced out by experience anyway. The being tied to reality bit, I mean. You said yourself that it's really hard to define."
Since everyone's so fond of skipping to the 'exorcise everything' step, but there's no point bringing that up again. It'd just lead to another circular argument and more fried wiring and that's the last thing this mess'd need right now.
