by Kount Xero

AU/what if. Things end differently in Sam's room, quite differently. Brigitte's life is broken and she and Sam must pick up the pieces left of Ginger finally snapping. Brigitte/Sam. Contains swearing. Please read and review.

9. Ask

"Was it a nightmare?" Sam asks. He decides, this is the way. Ask. Learn. Inquire. She's a silent one, he's discovered; without the benefit of monkshood and lycanthropy to provide equal ground, she just clams up.

"Yes." Brigitte says.

"The same one?" he asks.

Brigitte glares at him, surprised that he'd notice. Surprised that he was paying attention. Why would he?

"Yes." She says. Maybe this is how she can respond, she thinks; without the benefit of monkshood and lycanthropy, she can't find her way to a dialogue, so maybe this is the way. Answer. Tell.

"How does it go?"

"What?"

"The nightmare, how does it go?"

How does he do that? How does he just ask things like that?

"I don't remember." Brigitte lies.

Sam notices, but doesn't press it.
