The aggressive knock at the front door made Rina lunge from their relaxed stance on the couch. Grabbing the remote, they mute the television which was playing some kind of anime. Rina wasn't really watching but their dazed gaze had to be aimed somewhere. Their first thought is that this is some kind of raid, next is that their management found out about the meet up with Silas in the motel parking lot.

Hearing Uly's threatening voice somehow was worse than the first two options.

"What is—" a bleach blonde pokes her sleepy head out of Rina's bedroom but Rina hisses her away. "Stay in there. Don't come out." Throwing on the first shirt they found, Rina gives the apartment a quick once-over.

There's still a light white powdery film over the glass coffee table and Rina diverts from their path to quickly try and wipe it away with their hand before Uly makes good on his promise. There wasn't enough time to hide all the evidence of the night before, but it was good enough.

Opening the door, Rina guards the entrance to the apartment and gives him a confused glare.

"The fuck is your problem?"

With his hand balled into a fist, Uly uses the side of it to knock on their door loudly and obnoxiously enough that he couldn't be ignored by either Rina or their neighbors, depending on which stuck their head outside of it first.

With no immediate answer or sounds of footsteps approaching on the other side that he could hear, he gives the only warning he was going to give on something they both knew he would follow through with without a further thought.

"Open this fucking door or I'm gonna kick it off it's fucking hinges."

FIVEL STEWART AS HANNAH COPELAND | THE RECRUIT, SEASON 2

[rinaxchiron]

How do you speak about others when they’re not around?

"I don't say anything behind someone's back that I wouldn't say square to their face and I think more people should adopt that. If I have a problem with someone, they'll know 'bout it."

[rinaxchiron]

[ 💢 ]ㅤ.ㅤwho have they never forgiven and never will ?

"The motherfucker who murdered my brother. They never found him, or maybe they never even tried, I don't know. But he's still out there, probably living his best fucking life and shooting down other people's family members."

[rinaxchiron]

[ 🔦 ]ㅤ.ㅤwho do they search for ?

"In every room, there's only one person I'm ever searching for."

"I just wanted to see you."

A rare moment of truth that was probably plainly apparent. Rina had only come here for her. The other stuff that Phoebe alluded to, now wasn't the time nor the place to get into it now, so she remained silent.

Rina shrugged at Phoebe's question, as if the notion of her having a date didn't bother in the slightest. "I saw you dancing out there with some guy. Blonde. Doesn't matter."

Amidst their sparring, Rina thinks of how easy it would be to ask Phoebe to dance. It's on the tip of her tongue. And Phoebe would say yes, because despite all the terrible shit Rina put her through, she never gave up. Not on anyone but especially not them.

That thought alone was the cold splash of water Rina needed to be brought back to reality. They could live a thousand lifetimes and never deserve her.

"Sorry, I've got to go—" Rina said quickly, taking a step backwards from her ex-girlfriend, the distance much needed. "But you.. enjoy your night, yeah?"

( @phoebekeller )

There wasn't much left to be said after Rina agreed that Phoebe was right about their behaviour being confusing. They were both on the same page, yet on completely different books at the same time. "What do you even want from me? This isn't going anywhere, not like this. I'm not just going to do the small talk thing with you until we've addressed all the other stuff, too."

Phoebe looks down at her shoes, kind of wanting to burn them now. "I'm just as clumsy as you are, if not more," she points out, failing to see their point. She suspected it had more to do with Uly's presence, once again. "Ah, yeah, I'm sure my imaginary date would be incredibly frustrated to see me dance with someone else. Who are you talking about exactly?" @rinaxchiron

Silas: I can do tonite Silas: Were? @rinaxchiron

[rinaxchiron]

Pursing their lips together, Rina knew this anger was coming. Whether or not it was directed at Uly or at the whole situation seemed uncertain. "I know," she agreed, it wasn't fair to keep showing up like this, messing with Phoebe's head. Life just didn't feel complete without her.

"You know me," Rina implies. "I got two left feet and you're wearing nice shoes." There was just an excuse, one of many when it came to the two of them. The music wasn't Rina's speed, Uly might seem them. The list went on and on, but there was really only one that gave Rina pause.

"Plus I'm sure your date would be pissed."

( @phoebekeller )

"Of course, I know how he is, I've known him forever. He's the closest thing I have to family. That doesn't mean he gets to decide who can be in my life and who can't. Doesn't mean you should be listening to his input either," Phoebe snaps, anger growing in the pit of her stomach. There were very few things more irritating than being treated like a kid. So what if she wanted to let Rina back into her life and risk them hurting her again? That was her damn mistake to make. "Which, by the way, you're not doing a really good job at listening to him right now. It's confusing."

Her anger faded just slightly when Rina complimented, implying that she had been watching just a few seconds earlier when Phoebe had been dancing. "You should've joined me." @rinaxchiron

[rinaxchiron]

Rina: whenever youve got it Rina: tonight? ill pay extra ( @silascody )

Silas: Not so much these days but can sort Silas: When ? @rinaxchiron

[rinaxchiron]

Rina made a disgusted face. "What's romantic about that?" If there was, they didn't see it. All it was is two horny people who couldn't wait until they got home. Considering everyone seemed to be reverting to their teenage selves at this event, it likely wouldn't be the last sex sighting for the evening.

Making their way back in the thick of it, Rina's step hovered as Eleanor asked a very genuine question. There was a moment of processing the information before their head threw back in laughter. The first genuine laugh in months. "Fuck," a hand went to their chest. "Some security is gonna have a hell of a night watching that back."

( @gcldrushed )

" you make it sound so unromantic when you put it like that, " eleanor joked, not that there was anything romantic about what the pair was about to do. but they probably found it thrilling and she was not one to judge. nonetheless, she followed rina's cue to go back to the party for them to grab a drink. she definitely needed one to get through the night. but as they were making their way inside, she tilted her head and curiously asked as she scrunched up her nose a little, " but don't they have cctvs in classrooms, now? " // @rinaxchiron

[rinaxchiron]

What is their favorite song?

"As a music lover, it feels fucked up to pick a single song as a favorite."

"Songs that come to mind right now are Heart's a Mess by Gotye, Saw You In A Dream by The Japanese House, Pictures Of You by The Cure and Linger by the Cranberries. In no particular order."

[rinaxchiron]

you've been walking, you've been hiding / and you look half dead half the time (don't care) / monitoring you, like machines do (will not) / you've still got it, i'm just keeping an eye (the end).

you know you're better than this.

[rinaxchiron]

Which of their personality traits do they wish they could change?

"I'd like to be less of an asshole. No luck so far."

[rinaxchiron]

What’s another career that they think they would love?

"I've tried a lot of shit. Hospo, customer services, hairdressing, freelancing. Creating music was all I ever wanted to do and now I get to. I wouldn't mind producing too."

[rinaxchiron]

👀 + who do you regret hurting the most?

"I know that Phoebe is probably the person I hurt the most, but she's the type of person who forgives easy. I feel bad about us breaking up but I'm glad she wasn't around for how I was back in LA. She didn't need someone like that fucking with her heart.

But Uly.. I know I've fucked him over so bad. He doesn't give his loyalty to many people in the first place so to lose that, I know I'm not gonna get it back any time soon."
