[Spam for Bond]
[It's been quiet, since the gas leak. She hasn't heard anything about any progress being made on narrowing down the list of who might have done it, but it isn't like she can hold it against the people who had promised to look into it, as frustrating as it might be. Too much on the Barge goes unnoticed, unpunished, and it's a waste of time and energy to
But lately, it feels as though most of what she's doing here is a waste of time and energy. She's restless and bored, and has been for some time. The only reason she's still here is because of James, and as much as she loves him (and she does, she absolutely does), she just... can't be here indefinitely. Can't be here for another month, at this point.
She brings it up after he's been out of the infirmary for a while, after dinner when they're on the couch with some wine. She's got her head on his shoulder, her legs tucked up on the cushion, and for a long moment, she's almost reluctant to say anything at all because she doesn't want to walk away from this, not for a second time.
It comes out anyway.]
I've been doing some thinking.
[Public]
[Vesper's in her room, sitting at a desk, and looks as put together and professional as usual.
She doesn't waste time with memories, or explaining what the ship has done for her, or how she feels about leaving. That's no one's business but her own]
I'm leaving. [And she's not expecting there to be a lot of sad feelings about this. It's not as if she's gone out of her way to make friends here, so it doesn't especially bother her.] For good, hopefully. I've been here for well over a year now, and I think it's important to realize when you've spent as much time here as you can.
[This isn't running away. It's choosing to build a life for herself outside of this place, something she hadn't had when she first arrived here.
She smiles a little wryly when she thinks of how to conclude this, this incredibly strange second chance she'd been given.]
It's been... an experience.
[Private to Cassel]
[There's one person apart from James that she's especially sad about leaving behind, and in many ways, this is a lot harder than telling her - she still doesn't have a term she likes to describe their relationship, and she's not sure she ever really will - boyfriend.
It's ridiculous to think of Cassel as a son for so many reasons, but she's stopped trying to question her feelings of responsibility for the teenager a long time ago, and they're making it difficult to be really comfortable with saying goodbye.]
Where are you planning on going, once you've finished with the Barge?
