Okay.
That’s okay.
Anything you need help with in the meantime though?
[ if you’re gonna be mia for a bit. it’s good to know that! but. eddie wants to help.
otherwise, he needs help with getting some resources for a literal pet project. a lil jumping spider terrarium. it’s very pure. he doesn’t ALWAYS have sex on the mind when he’s texting wash. ]

[ not like eddie isn’t used to getting arrested. not for murder. or for any violent crimes. but, he’ll understand, on some level.
naturally he worries, reading that. doesn’t think to appreciate the honesty, but he does. ]
I can buy the stuff later, it’s not important.
Dom jail isn’t as bad, from what I’ve heard? That’s where you are, right? [ u sure ur okay?? ]
Do I get to know what landed you in there?

[ no one should have to be in jail for...most of what they put people into jail for in duplicity! but eddie's glad for some of the conditions being better than others, even if wash could handle being in a worse scenario. ]
I'm really sorry it's been bad.
How long do you have to be in there?
[ can't show how sincere that sorry is, or say much more than that without feeling like it'd be insincere. ]

me either
( she'd like to think she'd try — but hadn't she had opportunities like that before coming here and not taken them? deflected with a quip if possible, ignored or walked away or pretended not to understand.
would she try with him? maybe. probably. )
i didn't
put too much pressure on you
did i?
( to go on this date. to be a date, something other than just her 'dominant'. )

( there's a part of it that stings — even though she knows better. don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to, natasha. maybe this is karma, payment for what she'd kept insisting over and over again (to bucky, to ash, to steve, to tony — it's complicated).
she's not arrogant enough to think he'd killed because of her. but if she'd been a factor — )
i was, too
when do you think they'll let you out?

and you don't want me to pick you up?
( 'pick up', break out, same difference.
maybe the time apart will be good for them. )

i'm going home then
( no reason to continue to linger awkwardly in the alley behind the restaurant, anyway. he might be in jail but she's still wearing his collar (and will have to do so in public, no matter how much natasha wants to rip it off and throw it at a wall right now) — the guards won't bother her while she has that.
it feels cold to just sign off that way, so after a few minutes: )
anyone else you might be standing up that i should reach out to?
( ok, that maybe wasn't any better. )

( ‘don’t be sorry, do better’ feels unproductive, even if it’s what she really thinks. but… )
if you think i’m angry now
it’ll be worse if you don’t call me if you need something while you’re locked up
so keep me on speed dial, david
