Whatever it was that made her voice falter could be considered as some sort of fear for Sonya, it wasn't. Narcissa wasn't afraid because she felt like she had nothing to lose. Truly, there was enough to lose as the prideful woman did not want to lose her life and yet it wouldn't be so bad. It would all be over, this battle, this exploring of the new self, everything. The thing is she wanted to learn more about the villains, how did they think and how did they work? Who else to ask but Sonya, the one who played her role so eagerly of a good citizen, worried with the best interest for the civilians around her, as her speech after the prison break had shown and what more. But also the motivation towards the villains, the rallying of a sort of underground army if you could call it that, putting a word of encouragement for them after the prison break as Ishtar. It was fascinating and surely something Narcissa in a way wanted to do, but just in the shadows. She gave a small nod, not entirely sure if she agreed with that, she believed that this freedom would come with pain and karma, but that was what the cards would tell her. She would not have to show much further fascial expressions, after all, Sonya turned to the screen.
She watched through what she did and nodded, putting some snacks in her mouth to remain quiet. Then what was it that this woman was doing? There was something and at this exact point in time Narcissa couldn't figure out why she felt the impulse to get up and walk away. Time would tell her eventually. She would sit a little lower and just try to make her body relax when her mind would just remain alert and yet turn her eyes to the movie. "I will see what I think about it then." She wasn't sure if she had seen it, she wasn't that much of a movie or tv watcher, so it was definitely something to consider but she would keep quiet and look, try to not say much and just make sure she was quiet and doing alright, all that was expected of her. This wasn't new so it was an easy performance for sure, be quiet and be pretty, what more would a woman want. Such an old suggestion her parents gave her and yet it was still in her mind.

Sonya tried to relax as well, it was harder than it looked. Narcissa was someone she wanted to bond with but she could sense the coiled tension in that person. A roiling inferno of doubt and insecurity that boiled beneath the surface and threatened to explode. Sonya remained quiet though; not wanting to call her out, just wanting to give her a space to relax and at least try to be at ease in. Sonya offered her some ice cream part way through while she ate some for herself; laughing at the funny bits and reacting when the first moment of tension between the protagonists came up. Romantic comedies were sappy and predictable but that's what made them good for comfort.
This particular one was about a pair who had never had the time or energy to date someone, they'd spent their lives working as professionals, marching through the world solo without a support structure beyond their friends. There was never enough minutes in the day. But one day they meet, taking one look at one another and just knowing that this was the person they wanted to try for. But life had a way of pushing against them, and so their efforts to see one another were constantly stymied by the day to day grind of reality. The comedy came in as their friends tried to step in to fill their complex and difficult roles to give the protagonists time to see one another. The result was a series of ludicrous and hilarious events as they tried and failed to live up to the skills the protagonists had.
This brought on the conflict. While the couple was happy together, they knew they couldn't last. Being together was causing more harm than good and it was beginning to show. Eventually it came to the dramatic climax as they both mutually severed ties, Sonya dabbed an eye, gripping the spoon in her hand, having forgotten about the ice cream in her lap. | TAG WORDS NOTES

As nothing was said and thus no easy buttons were pushed (as all her buttons seemed to be easy) she relaxed a little more, eating the chips from time to time and just sitting there, her eyes glued to the screen that showed a movie she had never seen before and thus something that interested her greatly. She was even though a mean informant, a person that was hungry for information, no matter what it was or how silly, she wanted to learn. She would get the ice cream without much notice like she did not take her eyes off the screen but she watched, laughed a little bit as well but said mostly nothing, it was a funny thing romcoms. She was doing okay, she was going to do a little better every time and if she got the space and support maybe one day she dared to open up to someone who was intriguing and scary. It was just that Narcissa felt so out of it, out of everything that she did not know what to do at all, the film was helping a little bit considering the romance and the different aspects of both main characters. It was something.
She stared with open mouth at the screen as she thought everything was a happy ending, "What?" She squealed, again not noticing how Sonya dabbed her eye and gripped the spoon, nope she just sat there baffled, how was this a good movie?

Sonya instinctively reached over to her friend and grabbed her hand; giving it a squeeze without taking her eyes off the screen. The couple were now apart, it was the lowest emotional point of the movie, how could they reconcile what had pushed them so far apart? Was there any way to overcome the obstacle between them and happiness? Each of them go through a miserable day of their lives while the world seems to pass them by. They notice little things in their life; little moments that remind them of their lover and little hints that suggest that there was more out there than the jobs they'd surrendered to so early in life.
The two gangs of friends meet to try to intercede, they each go to the opposite friends' workplace but are stunned to see that they are not where they should be. The group gathers at the place where they'd planned to lure the lovers only to find that the two of them had arrived on their own. They both want something more out of life than the grind, they want to achieve their dreams and support the other while achieving theirs. More importantly, they want to be with the person they fell for.
Sonya lets go of Narcissas hand and lets out a breath, fanning herself, as the two embrace.

It felt like she sat there for hours, not in a bad sense, that's how the movie caught her. She could not believe at first that this was the ending, but the show went on and it wasn't the ending, it was just the middle part and she sat there and watched. Allowing Sonya to hold her hand as she did not move at all, she also did not squeeze back. Once upon a time, back in Barbados, she had been engaged. She had thought he was the end, but just like everyone else he turned her back on her. Her job was more important, her everything was more important but herself. She wished that there was someone out there who cared about just her, just Narcissa. Her thoughts, her suggestions and her opinions and surely they were allowed to find her beautiful, heck they should. But were her feelings and her security not the most important part in a relationship? What else did matter? Why did everyone she cared for cared about her reputation and her job? The former-pro hero sat silently as the movie unfolded that those two lovers did not care about their job but about each other and she felt that. It hurt. With her free hand she stuffed her face with ice cream, but she watched and she swallowed and she said nothing.
With a big breath, Narcissa was glad that the movie was over, slowly letting out the air she took in her lungs. "Thanks for that, it's good to relax once in a while." But now she wanted out, she needed a massage for how she had slept and she needed several tissues and a phone call to get over her frustration. She held her phone in the other hand and untangled her fingers from Sonya, "Let's discuss some things again but I have to go, I hope you don't mind, thanks again though... Sonya." She had not said her name like that before, but she hoped that she could leave without giving some bad vibes. She needed to think about the plan she had now made and discussed with Sonya, her problem, her thoughts, everything would linger and simmer until she had finally figured out what she wanted.
She wanted the King dead but she couldn't, she would not give up and she would find a way to reconcile with herself and she would find a way to win.
