Woman, You've Got Too Many Brambles [Closed]

WHO| Venus, Wyatt and Maximus
WHAT| Awkward relationship talk.
WHEN| A few days before the Arena.
WHERE| Training Center
WARNINGS| Discussion of relationships, virginity, sex and social mores surrounding women. Basically, I am hella pretentious.

Fear isn't a totally foreign feeling to Venus, but it's one she came to piece with a long time ago. Generally it's managed by the knowledge that she doesn't have much to lose, that pain and humiliation are both temporary states of being that one passes through rather than becomes.

The fear she feels now is different. It isn't the passing assessment of a threat so much as a nagging sensation that some part of her is damaged, broken in some way beneath the skin that she can't see. It wraps itself around her bones and follows her throughout her day, sipping coffee with her, putting on her clothes with her, showering with her, especially when she showers. It's worst when she's nude.

It's with her when she's beating the hell out of a tackling dummy, and that's where Wyatt and Maximus find her one morning. She wipes sweat from her brow and straightens up to see them and Ferox. The fear, the sadness, clings to her like a dress that even they should be able to see despite the cocky smile.

"It is not my business, Venus, beyond you directly asking me for advice. I would not take it to him unless you asked me to."

Shotguns would be a good idea, if he thought of it. As it was, he was only thinking blades.

He wouldn't sit by if Enjolras hurt her purposely. For now, it was only his stupidity doing so. If that ever crossed to deliberate intention...

As if reading Max's mind, Wyatt took a step closer, arm brushing the other man's purposefully.

Awkwardness happened, so long as the boy took steps to fix it, there was no sense in sticking him yet.

"What you've told us, will stay with us until you deem otherwise." He smiled gently at her. "Ya need some help though, you don't be afraid to ask, huh?"

"Slit his throat," Maximus said, completely straight-faced, in the way he would say so to one of his soldiers, flatly and completely.

After a moment he offered her a warm smile. "Don't let it define you," he murmured, lowly. "Do not take it to heart. It is not who you are."

Wyatt slanted Max a bemused smile, snorting gently before turning back to Venus.

"Jus' remember that nobody runs before they walk, an' if he can't swallow that, he ain't worth yer time."
