“ … are you trying to gatekeep me? ” perhaps, if she weren’t so exhausted, she would be able to retort to his obvious attempt at flattery with a less snappish reaction – maybe a lifetime ago, she would’ve smiled, too. But it’s Friday night, and the stack of files she slams onto the bar’s counter as she takes a seat next to him speaks volumes of how overworked she is this week. And to further assess her actions, she places both elbows on the bar when she speaks again, “ I just came here for a drink. I wasn’t aware I was supposed to look a certain way. ”

“nothing wrong with that.” ( @asperad )
“ i’m glad we can agree on that. ”
a small smile, soft cant of her head forwards, Emma spares a few seconds of silence while stirring the steaming contents of her coffee mug, as if waiting to see what Stella Gibson will say next – a woman of few words, or so it feels like to Emma. there’s a certain feeling of being in the presence of an enigma every time the two have to interact, but as brief as their conversations are, she can tell with conviction that Stella Gibson isn’t unpleasant company.
“ when I was working at san onofre, there was plenty of … uh, shall we say, reluctance to my methods of helping the inmates. mostly, they were completely ignored. ” a small shrug is offered as she brings the mug to her lips ( it tastes like reheated coffee machine brew, but it keeps her awake ), “ then again, the system was very different. the edification was falling apart, so I suppose there were more relevant matters to spend money on. ” surely, Stella will notice the biting cynicism in her voice – it took her three years to find out there was simply no attempt at improving the system in the slightest. It was all about who would take the biggest cut when the day was over.
sometimes, she still recalls many of Rita’s words. Half of them were actually advice just to survive, she realizes now.
“ I just think human beings aren’t born inherently rotten – everybody can turn into a better version of themselves if they put their backs and sweat into it. i’ve seen it first hand . ”

truth be told emma leaving for the states and seeing a different type of prison system than the one she was used to was a good thing for her - not only because the change of atmosphere was immense ( the subhuman living conditions that the inmates in south american prions have to endure for example ), but also because it allows her to exploit her degree and passion for social work at its full potential -- something that sadly wasn’t entirely possible at san onofre due to the corruption within the penitentiary. i’m not saying there isn’t corruption and its own set of issues at state penitentiaries in the us/a, but the structure and conditions she has to work with are much more favorable compared to what she was used to, and she acknowledges that. it allows her to put her knowledge and ideas to full use, and she plans on incorporating them to the prison system in argentin/a once she goes back with her master’s.
still, she has trouble dealing with the trauma she endured in san onofre, and it shows in the way she’ll be uneasy around male authority figures within law enforcement, not trusting them at all and instead preferring to respond to female authorities.

“ detective superintendent gibson? ”
tone is clear, yet slightly hesitant ( she’s bothered by her own accent, the way it’s difficult for her to pronounce certain words still – Emma was never a perfectionist, but her job has become the key element she chose to focus on ). still, her chin remains tilted straight, a polite hand extended towards the woman standing by the desk. For some reason, she feels more at ease with women lately ( many a therapist has talked about suppressed ptsd when assessing her – she chooses to believe it’s just a matter of ‘two peas in a pod get better along’ ). working here is different, people from this side of the continent remain at a prudent distance at all times, and she’s just now begun to get used to the notion that a kiss to the cheek isn’t a proper greeting.
“ i’m emma molinari, i work for the department of social services – i’m here because a request for mental health assistance was made by an inmate awaiting trial next week. I, uh, I believe it was one of your cases – an extradition to the states from london. ” she’s slightly uneasy ( there used to be enough confidence in herself four years ago to be able to stand her ground at San Onofre. Now, she just feels on shaky ground twenty four seven ). “ I suppose that’s why they told me to meet up with you. ” a pause, she takes in the woman’s features ( strong, sharp – the kind of woman who would’ve been able to control San Onofre much better than Antín ever did ), “ may we revise the case together, if you’d like? I think you’ll be able to fill me in on the details. ” ( @asperad )
