The Beach, Sunday

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

After hanging out with Raven & Karla & Momoko for most of the day, Dinah held her breath and sent a text to Priestly.

Beach, in an hour?

And got a y in reply.

So. Sand, surf, wind, wheeling birds, sunset. Beach.

[ooc: for the BFF, but open for anyone wanting the beach after.]

"Yeeeeah. Extremely." Dinah had a weird expression on her face, and said, "I don't ever want to be evil. But."

[lovemykilt]

Priestly snorted a half-laugh. "How is there a 'but' on not wanting to be evil?"

"Not the evil, you're right, that's not the..." Dinah huffed in exasperation, mock-glaring at him. Then back at the ocean. "They were having fun. Horrible, homicidal, selfish, but." She was quiet a second and said, "I have the same kinda fun when I go out fighting crime. It freaks me out. Where the lines are."

Great, now she'd given him another reason to give her weird sideways looks.

[lovemykilt]

Like, say, the one he was giving her now. "I'm not sure whether to be weirded out or impressed by that."

Dinah winced. "See, and now... Things are complicated. When I'm honest. I hate that." She paused, musing, "I had the same kind of thoughts after I was a vampire. Not that I wanted to kill anybody, but to just be wild. And irresponsible and destructive and this is probably freaking you out, I need to shut up now." GAH.

"Okay, well, we already knew you were an adrenaline junkie."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. There was a lot of adrenaline."

And sex.

And wow, did she need to get a boyfriend or a fling or something, that was not a good road to go down.

"...how are you doing with it? With the parts that have, you know. Nothing to do with me?"

[lovemykilt]

"I dunno. I mean, he wasn't that different from me. But he was also crazy different."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Best part?" Dinah rested her chin on her knees. "Worst part? And that can include Sheba, so. There had to be *some* best part in there."

[lovemykilt]

"Sheba was very cool. I would like to be Sheba when I grow up."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Me too." Dinah smiled a little. "I miss her. I wanted to keep her, but I wanted you back at the same time." She frowned. "And now I'm remembering saying something like that and it's weird, 'cause I forgot you'd know."

[lovemykilt]

"Well, yeah. It's weird, though, you know, because I remember her as me, but she also . . . wasn't. This whole thing is just bizarre."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Worse than usual because it lasted so long." Dinah grimaced. "Are we ever going to talk about it more than this?" 'Cause she kind of felt like she had stuff to say, and he had stuff to tell her, but pushing more than that was just-- yeah. No.

[lovemykilt]

"It's just hard to wrap my head around."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Tell me about it." Dinah frowned. "I mean-- oh, you know what I mean."

[lovemykilt]

"Yeah. I know." Priestly smiled a little. "We're okay, right?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah wasn't sure about that. But now.... "We're gonna be," she said, with confidence. "And hey. You'll be in New Gotham." She grinned again. "We have time."

[lovemykilt]

"Not till the end of the summer," Priestly said. "I gotta make sure the diner's in good hands. But yeah. We'll have time." Priestly hesitated, then leaned into her a little. No skin to skin, but pressure. A little weight.

A start.

Dinah squeezed her eyes shut tight, and smiled as the tide came in.
