Love is Dangerous for Your Tiny Heart [Closed]
Who| Linden Lockhearst and Nill
What| Talking after Linden's Avoxed parents are relocated to District 9's suite
Where| District 9 suites
When| Post-crowning after Linden's chat with Jason, several days after the Avoxes' relocation from 7
Warnings/Notes| Swearing and angst? Will update if necessary!
It had cost two and a half months worth of winnings, but Linden is certain that what passes for dignity in District 6 remains intact for him. His parents, a matching set of pale, dark-featured Avoxes have been relocated to District 9 in accordance with the contract he and Jason had drawn up and signed; they're far enough away from him and 6 to keep from drawing unnecessary and negative attention, but close enough to exist alongside friends who are sure to treat them kindly. As far as Linden sees the situation, it's the best possible way to handle matters for now.
He can see them whenever he sees Nill, which he's long since established that he doesn't need a reason for anymore. Fraternization is a rule he hasn't explicitly broken, though there are certainly rumors about the District 6 Mentor and District 9 Tribute, even jokes that together, they make "69", very funny among the cruder-minded Capitolites. Linden tries to ignore it, just as much as he tries to ignore the soft, insistent urges that prick and pull unfairly at him when he's around Nill. It's doubly frustrating because he's certain it's not entirely one-sided, but it is illegal now as well as heavily frowned-upon. Despite his sharp intelligence, Linden sometimes lacks for common sense, and he's always had an addictive personality, so tempering the situation by staying away is, quite simply, out of the question, even though he promised Stephen that he'd do his absolute best to keep his nose clean and not get removed from his post as Mentor. He rationalizes that he's managed to stay off Morphling and if Nill is turning into a habit, she is at least one that's much better for his health.
He lets himself into District 9's suite, glancing around for his parents; his father, as always, does not recognize him. In fact, he may never recognize him again, but his mother's dark eyes light up when she glimpses him. Immediately, she's off to fetch him a glass of water, one of the only ways she can express recognition and lingering, residual love.
