Kobin slouched on the bed in the cell, throwing the tennis ball Charlie had given him for entertainment. He had to admit, while the boy had somewhat teasingly given it to him, the ball was helping him keep his mind intact. Continuing to improve his hand eye co-ordination he heard the beeps of the code lock on the door. He kept throwing as he listened to her walk, realising that she was back to her normal self.
Grim stopped, standing half a metre or so away from his cell, her eyes settling on him as he ignored her and continued his activity. She increasingly got frustrated as he ignored her, and took a step closer crossing her arms. She cleared her throat.
"I'm sorry Grim, I didn't see you there." Kobin acknowledge her flatly. He put the tennis ball down and stood up to face her,
"Manners Kobin, you should learn them."
"That coming from the woman who has me locked up in a cell with bread and water."
"In case you forgot, you're a wanted arms dealer and it's a bit better than bread and water."
"'Bit', being the key word here. Of course." He paused for a moment. "Oh Ice Queen, how I have missed this banter, why'd we ever stop?"
"Because you didn't keep up your end of the bargain and helped to try assassinate the president. We stopped the first attack. I thought you should know." Grim replied emotionless.
"Yay, I guess? You seemed thrilled about it?" He asked sarcastically. He took a step forward and it was almost like the bars weren't there. She stayed silent.
"What's the problem, Grim? You should be celebrating. Fisher and Grim save the world again! Ugh." Kobin joked.
Still silence.
"You know we used to talk once."
"Did we?" She asked deadpan.
"Guns, bombs, kidnappings, faking deaths…" He offered, she looked up and then down again.
"He doesn't trust me anymore. He went with Charlie over me."
"Come on Grim what did you expect? You lied about his daughter for years."
"It was for the greater good! I had no choice!" Grim replied defensively.
"Whoa, calm down. Look Charlie got it right yes?"
"On gut instinct, it was a gamble."
"But it worked." Kobin reasoned, and Grim acknowledged defeat, nodding.
"You need to relax Grim." Kobin said a smile twitching at his lips. He really couldn't help himself, playing with her was a favourite past time.
"Excuse me?" Grim looked shocked, and took a step back. He was doing it again, just like years ago. She felt the blood go to her face.
"You know relax, have some fun. I mean, when was the last time you, you know?" Kobin smirked watching her smirk.
"This conversation is over."
He listened to her walk. How he loved that walk.
