Petra opens the door to her room with a deft twist and pushes the doorway in. She steers Bonzo into the room before turning and shutting the door firmly, and locking it, just in case.

"Sit down Bonzo."

Petra sets the food down on the desk.

Bonzo does sit. Actually, it's more like...collapse into a heap on the nearest chair or bed. He's not too particular at the moment.

Petra gives Kit a pat and settles down on the bed, with Bonzo in the only other chair 'n all.

"Talk to me Bonzo, what just happened?"

Other then that you just confronted the man who tried to kill you and all...

Bonzo shakes his head.

"I...I don't know. I snapped..."

Date: 2005-09-22 05:15 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
"Understandable."

Kit jumps up on Petra and mews. After another brief pet and a silent apology, Petra offers the Kitten to Bonzo.

Bonzo shakes his head.

"I shouldn't have done that..."

From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
"Bonzo, it was a perfectly good responce for anyone" Petra places empasis, "Look at me."

"It is OKAY."

From: [identity profile] mandercommander.livejournal.com
Bonzo looks Petra in the eyes.

"Petra...I -shouldn't- have lost it...should I?"

Date: 2005-09-22 05:27 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
Petra stares at Bonzo, willing him to understand.

"You should have lost it, it was perfectly okay. You're not sliping to the darkside, you're being -human-. It was simply against Milliway's rules, so I had to stop you."

Date: 2005-09-22 05:31 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mandercommander.livejournal.com
Bonzo looks at her, confused.

"Petra...I haven't lost it like that since..."

He stares, not wanting to say it.

Date: 2005-09-22 05:38 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
"Since?" She can guess when this was, but it was better for him if he said it.

"Bonzo..."

Petra chooses her words carefully.

"Everyone wants to kill someone else with all of their heart and souls more then once in their life time. Your problem is complicated by the fact that Graff -did- allow you to be killed. You have every right to be mad, but you've got to understand that the Bonzo that died, he wasn't you."

Date: 2005-09-22 05:48 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mandercommander.livejournal.com
Bonzo looks highly confused by this.

"He did...but then how was that Bonzo not me?"

Date: 2005-09-22 05:50 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
"Darling, you're -here-, You choose not to hurt Ender anymore. The timeline broke when you made that choice. You are now two diffrent people, just like the Petra in your world is much diffrent then I am."

Date: 2005-09-22 05:58 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mandercommander.livejournal.com
Bonzo looks at Petra.

"But...how...he was still willing to kill me...he was, Petra. He said it himself."

Date: 2005-09-22 06:00 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
Petra doesn't know what Graff said, she came in too late.

She risks it though, "Darling, Could it be that he might have already killed youre 'otherself'?"

Date: 2005-09-22 06:02 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mandercommander.livejournal.com
Bonzo looks up at Petra.

"He said that I was dead...that if I was alive, that he'd failed..."

He shakes his head.

"He was willing to kill me, Petra. But...I -wanted- to kill him. I really did."

Wither Bonzo knows it or not, Kit -is- on his lap right now mewing very softly. He stands and walks in circles on his lap, attempting to be soothing.

"You know the way he thinks, he thinks that he is god allmighty." Petra adds her soothingness to the conversation.

Date: 2005-09-22 11:00 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mandercommander.livejournal.com
Bonzo nods.

"He does...he does think that."

Date: 2005-09-22 11:01 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
"Let him play his little game, there's nothing you can do now, about what has happened in his reality."

Date: 2005-09-22 11:45 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mandercommander.livejournal.com
Bonzo looks at Petra helplessly.

"He still...either he let me die or he was willing to."

Date: 2005-09-23 12:05 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
Petra doens't have much she CAN do, so she does her best. She leans forward snags the drink, rummages in the desk and pulls out a cup which she fills 'n hands to Bonzo.

Date: 2005-09-23 12:30 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mandercommander.livejournal.com
Bonzo accepts the drink and sips it. He already feels calmer than he did earlier...at least in part, he needed the calming-down time.

"How should I deal with him? I mean...the bar's only so big."

And he's a bit -too- big to hide here, too...

Date: 2005-09-23 01:10 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
Petra rubs her forehead and leans back. "I don't know what you can do about him. You might just have to pretend he doesn't exist."

Date: 2005-09-23 01:12 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mandercommander.livejournal.com
Bonzo stares at that before looking back into his drink.

"How can I do that, though?"

Date: 2005-09-23 01:13 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
There is a rather long pause before Petra answers, "I don't know."

Date: 2005-09-23 01:24 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mandercommander.livejournal.com
Bonzo sighs, trying to sort through this mess in his mind. Why him? Why Graff?

"I'm...I'm sorry, Petra. I'm sorry about all of this."

Date: 2005-09-23 01:28 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
"Why? Because you reacted like a human being?"

Date: 2005-09-23 01:29 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mandercommander.livejournal.com
Bonzo takes a deep breath.

"Petra, I should be -better- than that. Did you see the look in my eyes?"

He sighs.

"You're the only thing that stopped me."

Date: 2005-09-23 01:33 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
Petra is calm.

"I don't suppose you managed to notice Val's reaction to Graff did you?"

Not that Petra knows more then a tiny bit of what she saw.

Date: 2005-09-23 01:37 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
"From the glance I got when I turned around after closing the door to this corridor, she had hit him once, and was going for another shot."

Date: 2005-09-23 01:44 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mandercommander.livejournal.com
Bonzo looks rather...surprised.

"She was hitting him?"

Great...

"Then...why couldn't I?"

Pause.

"No...why did I stop when she didn't?"

Date: 2005-09-23 01:47 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
Petra pauses before answering, choosing her words carefully.

"I don't know Val, and you didn't need to be sent to the jails." Or Cells, whatever they were called here.

"You stoped because you had better control then her."

Date: 2005-09-23 02:05 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mandercommander.livejournal.com
Bonzo nods.

"Thanks. And you're right...I didn't need any time in the brig."

He'd spent enough time there in Battle School, thank you very much.

Date: 2005-09-23 02:07 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
Brigs are not fun. The food is getting cold so she reaches out 'n brings the food closer.

"Sandwhich?"

Date: 2005-09-23 02:08 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mandercommander.livejournal.com
Bonzo nods.

"Thanks...I didn't get to finish my dinner back in the bar."

He greatfully accepts the sandwich and begins munching on it.

Date: 2005-09-23 02:15 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mandercommander.livejournal.com
Bonzo smiles.

"Thanks."

There's a pause here, as Bonzo munches on his food.

Date: 2005-09-23 02:18 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
Petra munches also. Food has always been a good thing for her nerves.

Date: 2005-09-23 02:23 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mandercommander.livejournal.com
Apparently, it helps Bonzo as well...he's calmed down now.

Date: 2005-09-23 02:25 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
Petra eats quickly and brushes herself off.

"Well, I should probably go back."

Date: 2005-09-23 02:27 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mandercommander.livejournal.com
Bonzo nods to that.

"I'll head to my room...I need to rest."

He smiles.

"Thanks for helping me out."

Date: 2005-09-23 02:33 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
"No worries, thats what friends are for."

Petra doesn't want to go back. Her head hurts much too badly.

Date: 2005-09-23 02:34 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mandercommander.livejournal.com
Bonzo nods.

"Thanks, Petra. Thanks."

Date: 2005-09-23 02:35 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
"Again, no worries."

A puase.

"If you see Graff... feel free to come here 'n play with Kit to avoid him."

Date: 2005-09-23 02:40 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mandercommander.livejournal.com
Bonzo nods.

"Thanks, Petra. Good luck when you go back."

And, with that, he heads back to his room to get some rest.

Date: 2005-09-23 02:44 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] petraarkanian.livejournal.com
Petra tips her 'hat' off at him and falls back on the bed, meaning to just rest for a moment but falling asleep as soon as her head is on the bed.
