Adria Arjona in Andor S02E04
she doesn't waste another glance on the brewing storm. she'd spent enough years tending the aftermath of ego; split lips, shattered knuckles, the kind of hurt that clings long after the blood dries. the pressure built from years of silence and pushing war down your throat because it's not man enough to admit it's there. so the marines punch the Green Berets and the SEALS knock both of them to the ground. on and on, like all traditions of broken systems and the bodies they leave behind. it’s an old but familiar ache now, a quiet grief for how easily people throw themselves into ruin, knowing there's nothing she could do to stop it.
❛ smart. ❜ once, she might have stayed. might have tilted her chin up and thrown herself into the fray out of pride or stubbornness, to prove she could survive. it's almost worse knowing she can. worse, even that she might have tried to if she had felt the spark of violence gather close enough to the surface. gloria was grateful for lizzie's presence. a tether to the femininity the former combat medic nurtures within herself as though it might undo every terrible act.
❛ not just that, i have a bottle of zacapa if you think you can handle it. ❜ it's a gentle nudge of words, limbs slipping into her jacket, purse tucked high beneath her arm. gloria bids the rabble behind, leading out the door.
lizzie dons a mask of careful ambivalence, holding the brewing fight in her peripheral as her sights languidly cycle: her present company, her empty glass, the fine lace of condensation wound along its surface. a tattered slice of lime sits at the bottom, sprawled over half-melted ice. she prods at it with the end of her straw, quietly indignant of the acuteness of her awareness so deep into the night, but she avoids the bartender’s eye. tries to stifle the way she stiffens as egos swell, boisterous voices teasing the bounds of violence. she knows this game. could, theoretically, understand its basest appeal: the thrill of a fight projected. life rendered in adrenaline bursts and broken skin. finds herself, suddenly, inwardly, grateful gloria doesn’t seem to share in this interest.
“not much of a gambler.” only in the company she keeps, if murmurs were to be believed— diluting their business to the simple whim of gangsters and murderers. as if she were any better. but, stealing another glance over her shoulder, lips pursing in careful assessment, lizzie inclined to agree. with a little over a foot of difference between them, they weren’t exactly entering on even odds.
“yeah?” she smiles at @medicbled's choice of word, obnoxious, shouldering her purse in silent acceptance.
"If I'm giving up everything...I want to win. We have to."
❛ there ain’t language for the things i’ve seen. ❜

🌶️ SC // @weaponid ( frank )
no words, no hesitation. not anymore, not when they'd spent so long trying to rationalize and stay away or convince one another: never again. his mouth crashed against hers, the taste of smoke and sweat and adrenaline still roaring hot beneath his skin. she lets him take. let herself take what wasn't hers. fingers curled around the chain that marked them both as numbers and cannon fodder, yanking him down like it wasn’t fast enough, never fast enough. she could still smell the blood on him, on both of them. could still feel the ghost of the fight buzzing under her skin and gnawing at her nerves. strung so tightly she might shatter if she didn’t have something to ground her, to hurt her, to remind her she was alive.
frank didn't ask and neither did she, that fucked up tether keeping them soulbound in ruin speaks for them. gloria shoved him backward with a snarl caught in her throat, pushing until the back of his knees hit the bed. it wasn't grace, it was instinct as she pried his belt open with the same frantic dexterity it took to pull a tourniquet tight. feral tangle of limbs and need, clawing at flak and cotton, scraping at skin and trying to tear him apart just to feel something through the noise. just to have him destroy her in return. she straddles him, fingers digging into his shoulders, nails biting down hard enough to leave moons in battered flesh. marks that will wither with time, but for now she wants him to wear her like the agony that lives between her ribs when he isn't inside her. ❛ i'm sorry. ❜ teeth tugging at lips, tongue tangled up like she's prying hell through the gates of heaven. ❛ sorry i can't stop needing you. ❜
her jaw tightens with the kind of tension that comes from holding too much in. too much blood, too much memory, too much of that awful, helpless ache that comes when it’s a kid on the table and the universe dares to keep spinning.
at the sound of mel's voice, she turns to face her. there’s always the undertone of something haunted in her gaze, but it doesn’t waver. not, when the junior staff are looking at her like she’s supposed to make it make sense.
❛ yes, doctor king, please, ask. ❜
Mel doesn't like this. She doesn't like when it's kids; she doesn't like when there are parents, and siblings, just a few steps away.
Eyes daring between Dr. Robby's still frame and the boy on the gurney, Mel wonders what's keeping their boss from sharing a few words of guidance. Whether it's a reassurance or next steps, she'd like to hear it.
But Robby remains silent.
"Uh, Dr. De Lima," Mel tilts her head to the hallway. "Can I ask a question?"
one thing about gloria is that, she loves very intensely. it isn’t something fleeting that can be turned on an off like a faucet. yes, she can have a one night stand but it won’t mean a single thing to her…she won’t even get off. if she has feelings for someone and she isn’t sure they’d want her because they have not shown anywhere close to signs she would recognize, she won’t do a damn thing. but back to the point, they might not be able to handle the level of love she has to give. it’s consuming, it comes from the perspective of someone that leaves claw marks in things because she can’t hold onto things. people die, people fade and time is a luxury.
