at first, all that she is capable of giving back is just a nod, a little more than a shake, and that’s it. glassy eyes and fast paced breathing—not frantic ! no, already past that part at least. not the calm, eased inhales of someone at peace with their own minds either. but also not the suffocated gasps of survival that once were. she stops, collects herself. “ sorry… ” and she means it, the guilt of waking him up faint but present even when this dynamic has been a constant since infancy. but she can’t help it, no. she’d like to make a promise of uneventful nights but that hasn't happened yet. not through all these years, and not with that restless mind of hers.
but her brother’s bed starts to have an effect on hers, or so she’d like to believe. soon, the fear in the back of her mind meets with the possibility of safety ( so scarce in the own silence of her room ) and although not quite there yet, she dares to speak. all in the name of distracting herself, just a little. “ were you... dreaming—about something? ”
“ who, me? miss eve, why i'd never. ”
okay, now—i know what you’re thinking. behind that angel face and the most honest smile you’d ever seen on this side of the earth, could it be—like, could it really be possible that reevah ( serious, consequent, always hard work and no fun at all reevah ) could lie or compromise the other’s wishes on something so frivolous and small as a good laugh? WELL—any other time? ...the answer probably would have been yes, no doubt. and even more now that work had been growing a lot more tedious since all of the ‘ end of the world ‘ stuff had everyone pushing to meet deadlines and paperwork she hadn’t even looked at since 1736.
BUT—but, and this was the important part. but, she wasn’t anybody. from all creatures in existence, now and in the past, this one, standing right in front of her, was no more, no less than eve, the first woman. eve, THE EVE, a LEGEND if you ever thought about disobedience, the very one who said ‘ no, i choose ‘ in the face of god and went on from there because so was her desire. and if you ever came to such an opportunity yourself, wouldn’t you try to make the most of it in whichever terms you were allowed to?
god, this HAD to be the closest thing to meet your favourite superstar on some random bus stop, like—harry styles or something like that.
“ —BUT ” for of course, this is where her excitement couldn’t be contained any longer. “ if i could only ask—and i mean it, i wouldn’t tell a soul, but—what could you possibly be doing in a place like this, uh? ” and rather than a scold she simply seemed fascinated by the whole deal. “ and how, like—aren’t you a human soul? no offense but, last time i checked it wasn’t allowed that you guys went back once your time was passed. so—who’s even guarding the door up there these days? ”
@choicelesshope sent “Surprise me!”: for Reevah
Send “Surprise Me!” and the mun will make a starter with a random muse. I did a number generator and got Eve.
“I hope you’re not planning on causing too much trouble while I’m here. I’m not looking to get involved in anything.” Eve was taking one of her secret trips down to Earth, as she had missed it and wanted to see what had changed since the last time she stepped foot outside of Heaven. Still, she knew the kind of energy that an immortal being exuded. A little bit of focus, and she could sense what kind she was dealing with.
ok, sure. perhaps if we gave this whole deal a closer look, appearing just like that wasn’t the most sensible thing he could have done for the other’s peace of mind. surely if you are at work, actively dealing with something or right in the middle of your only break, having a stranger jumping in front of you from god-knows-where dressed head-to-toe in red and blue isn’t exactly the way to go for a nice first impression. and yet—( yet ) the amount of excitement that you could simply feel coming from his direction spoke of an impulse, yes, of rushed decisions, but also about genuine good intentions, and too many questions he was just waiting to let out of himself.
and maybe—one or two explanations, if we are lucky enough for that.
“ HI! hi, oh my god, hi. hi, uh—dr… christine palmer, right? man i hope i didn’t go through the wrong window ‘cause this is gonna be very awkward if you aren’t her—you! you, i mean—heh, sorry ” where was he again? oh! right. “ i—do you maybe have a moment, or—? a friend told me that you worked here, and that i could come and you’d understand, and—then he told me you were THE DR. PALMER from that one cool laminectomy technique and i was like WOAH, REALLY? so i—ran here, and… here we are. ”
and he might… be forgetting something there. details really, definitely not the whole point of this visit, of course.
“ —also i kinda have a bullet in my leg that i could use some help with, if—you can, i mean. ” yeah, there it was.
@choicelesshope liked for a Dr Palmer starter
Turning around, there was suddenly spiderman hanging upside down right in front of her. Christine couldn’t help the scream the escaped her as she jumped back in surprise. “Hi,” she breathed out shakily. She needed to stop being so jumpy. “Can I help you?”
