Video | Backdated to 30th | Private To Phillip

[She's nervous.

There's no getting around it, really. This is her first Inmate since Jason, and while that went well - she was a different person, then. It feels like a lifetime ago.

But it doesn't show in her smile. (She's grateful, today, that Phoenix doesn't need to sleep; the shadows of her nightmares don't hang beneath her eyes.]

Hey, Phillip. I'm Jean.

[She gestures to the file on her desk.]

I wanted to talk to you, before I read this. I won't do it at all, if you don't want me to.

[He's really not. And that's about 90% of his damn problem when you get right down to it. But he fixes her with a hard look. Even if there's not much he can do to her here and now (possibly ever), this is the first time since he's been on the Barge he's looked remotely aggressive. He's been somewhat unnerving towards others, but never more than that.]

[But he refuses to say anything one way or another because he doesn't like her assuming anything about him or making any claims to know him. Even if she does eventually read the file, he still doesn't think she'll know anything. Just if looks alone could kill...]

[Jean's response, naturally, is a bright grin.] Finally. There's definitely a person in there.

I've gotta warn you, throwing a punch at me wouldn't go well. ...Unless we're just sparring. Want to do that sometime?

[broughtwhiskey]

[Excusez-vous, this is not something to be grinning about!]

No.

[The idea of any kind of fighting that doesn't result in killing something or someone? Well, that's just a foreign concept to Philip at this point; even the rigged fights at Woodbury seem miles and miles behind him at this point. You fight because you have to, because someone has to be put down. Or something needs to be put down. Whichever the case may be.]

[But more than that, the less he has to do with Jean, the better.]

[fireincarnate]

[Interesting. She's not cowed, but the smile fades.]

All right, no sparring. What did you do for fun?
