knew_anyway[The feed clicks on to show Nat in his study- but unlike his public addresses, he's not sitting calmly at his desk, or even looking at the camera. Instead, he has his back to the device, reaching up to get a book from his top shelf.
His study is nothing short of painfully organized chaos. Stacks of books and loose papers seem to reach the ceiling. His walls are covered with chalk marks, very few of which are English. He has Japanese characters, foreign words, and even a hieroglyph or two- and of course, lots and lots of Latin interspersed, with dark, angry lines connecting words together or crossing sentences out entirely.
It looks very much like he's lost it, especially as he opens the book he'd just gotten, turning slightly so his face is profile to the camera. He hasn't slept in days, his hair is messy from the times he's ran his fingers through it, his shirt is untucked, tie loosened.
With a negative mutter, Nathaniel snaps the book shut and turns to cross out another line of foreign writing, letting the book drop to the floor by his feet in frustration.
He continues working tirelessly, unaware that he'd being recorded, until the feed shuts off.]
[[ooc: SOOOO to anyone who can speak a foreign language, the words he has written are all regarding names- names of deities in that language's culture mostly, but also little scrawls on statistics and probabilities and things relating to alternate worlds, dimension hopping, and Other Places.
I am JUST returning from being internetless as well, so all of Nat's, Rome's, and Regulus' tags will be done shortly <3 <3]]

That could have been a huge security breach. Even if you couldn't tell me where you were going, if you could tell me you'd be gone, I could shuffle the other units and prepare for it.

And you know very well that I couldn't have told you I'd be gone without telling you were I was going.
[She's not your not!girlfriend, John. So why are you angry with her?]

It's not about trusting your squad, it's about putting them through additional work and danger because I didn't know to make it easier on them to make up for all four of you not being there.

Date: 2012-01-02 08:47 pm (UTC)[She's glaring at you now, John. What's wrong with you?]
I did not put them through danger.

no subject
Date: 2012-01-03 06:54 am (UTC)...Also since when did this become my trial? From hearing you, one could think the whole operation was my idea.
[She snorts softly.] I'm glad to see you weren't too worried about my well-being at least.

This is getting us nowhere. Is there anything else?

We did what we thought was right, for the greater good. To try and fix this city. And I was worried about you all up there. I feared Thalatte would betray us... But I trusted some of the people in the city to take care of anything that would happen. Including you.
I thought that if someone could have been able to understand our reasons, accept that and support us, it would have been you.
But perhaps I was mistaken.

Date: 2012-01-04 02:03 am (UTC)We aren't going to come to a peaceful resolution. I suggest we stop arguing. [Quietly, calmly, he repeats-] Is there anything else?
no subject
Date: 2012-01-04 04:17 am (UTC)[She nods again.] I wanted to discuss a few things about the outcome of our Undergrounds exploration and about Raphael's death. Thought you'd have me over for tea. [Because he might have noticed she's wary of PCDs when it comes to important things.] Maybe tomorrow?
