Patrick Mulligan (298) has posed:
    A few days had passed since he'd found his way thrown through the window of Morrigan's apartment. The Police chalked the entire thing up to Carnage and Venom, and with things as they were, it was quickly buried by more important news. But, every day around sunset, Patrick stood at the corner of the road and looked up, to make sure things were getting better for Morrigan.
    "Sentiment... how boring." The voice would whisper when others had left earshot. "You tried to eat her," Patrick reminded the creature coldly. "You wanted food, too, Pats." The creature added. It was a young creature but it was honest, at least. He was hungry, then. Only what Toxin would call human sympathies kept him from eating people. "Why did it have to get so complicated..." He would ask himself, to the warm air or the night.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
This was the first night Morrigan had been back to her place. And she was indeed a night owl. The redhead was still piecing things back together, but the contracting company had done a quick wall for her so she could at least function at the apartment.

There's a lot of plants on her patio, he probably doesn't remember them given he ruined half of a table full. She's currently up there repotting flowers. Transferring them to new homes and cleaning away the dead and broken ones.

Patrick Mulligan (298) has posed:
    Patrick crossed the street beneath the apartment before the symbiote had a response. "I did save your life..." It leveraged, trying to earn Patrick's sympathies. It worked, even if he wouldn't speak of it. "You endangered it in the first place," Patrick says, but, the symbiote knew it wasn't so simple. He knew it was a lie. Patrick did that a lot. "You want to see her." The voice reminded him, before Patrick shook his head no. "Don't be a coward." The voice chided, causing Patrick to scoff. "You're the one that tried to kill--" "Eat." "--Her."

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan wasn't aware of the mans presence downstairs. Maybe she would have ran back inside and bolted the door if she was. She finishes potting the moonflowers and settles them down on the tiered table she has for her plants. With a look around and a sigh she heads back into the apartment. Out of sight. Maybe it's because there's a delivery boy with a bag full of food that rings the doorbell. Patrick can see that it's from a chinese place not too far from here.

Patrick Mulligan (298) has posed:
    "We can sit here and argue the merits of seeing the woman you almost made us kill, but, it isn't going to happen. We're not going to torture the girl--Let her get on with her life," Patrick explains. The symbiote is quiet on the issue, offering nothing of substance to counter. They could smell the Chinese, though, and it made the symbiote grumble at his loss of the discussion.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
A few minutes go by and then Morrigan appears at the door. There's a smile to the delivery guy as she shoulders the door open. She stands where the cuts on her face can't be scene. "Evening, Ben." she states as she hands the kid some cash and he hands over the bag. She does this often it would seem.

The kid makes small talk for a few minutes before his phone beeps and he heads off. Morrigan turns to head in, but she feels something that makes her turn around. Her violet eyes catching sight of Patrick as she does.

Patrick Mulligan (298) has posed:
    With a pickup of wind, Patrick turns away and rolls his shoulders, as he continues onward. "I remember where I was when I first heard about Venom, you know. I was in Jersey City playing cards with some friends. Taking all their money, when, back here the pictures leaked. Never thought I'd end up like him," he says. "Where's the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man when you need him?" He asks.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan frowns when Patrick turns and walks away. There's a bit of a debate within the woman. One that doesn't involve hitting him in the head. Finally, she takes a deep breath and turns to head outside, walking after him.

"Officer Mulligan?" she calls after him. She wasn't wanting to sneak up on him. So she announces herself.

Patrick Mulligan (298) has posed:
    When at last she does call out to him, Patrick sighs a bit to himself and comes to a stop. After a moment, stopped, he turns and glances over his shoulder. "I just wanted to make sure everything turned out for you. Needed to make sure you weren't out of a home or anything," he says quietly.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan stands there looking at him. Food in hand. She gives him a nod, "The contractors are going to fix things next weekend. But it's alright for now." she tells him. "I'm fine...I'm not the one with a symbiote in me." she points out. Then she looks around, then back to him, "Would you like to talk upstairs. I've got enough food for everyone." she admits.

Patrick Mulligan (298) has posed:
    "Don't say that--That's just going to encourage him," Patrick says, shaking his head at the idea of the other one getting excited at the prospect. For now, the thing didn't mention how they were only there because it was what Patrick wanted. "You don't have to do that. I understand if you'd rather we just scram," he offers.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
"So it's still around. That's interesting." Morrigan states. Sometimes the scientist came out. There's a bit of an embarrassed look, "I'm sorry." she murmurs. "If I didn't want you to come up, I wouldn't have asked." she tells him. "I'm still scared he's going to try to eat me. But I promise not to hit you with a book again." she tells him. "So...do you want to come upstairs?" she asks him.

Patrick Mulligan (298) has posed:
    "Next time just be sure HE'S the one you actually hit," Patrick returns with a sneer. It was her fault, after all! "And yes--He's probably not going anywhere anytime soon. We're going to have to live with each other for the moment," he explains, before motioning for her to lead the way.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
"Hey. It was a lucky shot. Does it look like I'm violent with people regularly?" Morrigan huffs at him. "Sorry." she adds after a moment. She was still frazzled. "Come on in. We will eat and talk." she tells him as she heads back in.

Patrick Mulligan (298) has posed:
    Patrick follows after her, quietly considering her offer thoughtfully. He didn't bother mentioning that he and the alien had come to an understanding, or even that the alien would probably end up eating some poor fool regardless of any deal they had. But, he was also trying to teach the thing about how to do things right. Sometimes that was just ... harder than usual. "In any case, I'm sorry as well," he adds.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan hits the button for the penthouse and there's a soft smile to Patrick when he gets on the elevator. She shakes her head, "Something tells me you'll be having your hands full with getting things straightened out. So...just try not to eat me and we'll be okay." she smiles brighter at that.

Patrick Mulligan (298) has posed:
    "We don't eat people," Patrick says. Somewhere, in his mind, the word 'anymore' seemed to be struck clear like a bell. He ignored it, however, and stood to one side of the elevator to give her some space. "Just a matter of learning. And teaching. It's ... complicated," he adds.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan waits for the soft sound of the elevator stopping at the top floor. She gets off the elevator and heads for her door, which is still intacted. She gives a look to Patrick, "We can talk about complicated. That's something I'm good with." she smiles to him as she opens the door and allows him in.

Patrick Mulligan (298) has posed:
    Patrick considered this for a moment before he shook his head. "Look it's real nice of you to offer, but, forgive me if I'd rather be careful. There's a lot at stake here... if word of this gets out, they're not gonna ask a lot of questions before they stuff me into Rykers," Patrick explains. "Maybe in time, you can have your shot at taking a look at what this might be. But for now, I'd rather keep it friendly," he adds.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan settles the food down on the table. Then she looks at him. "Wow..." she shakes her head. "I was actually talking about just talking. You jumped straight to me wanting to dissect you like a lab rat." she huffs. "Friendly is talking about things...like trying to help out." she explains to him. "Lets just eat." she adds as she settles herself into a seat.

Patrick Mulligan (298) has posed:
    "Let's see where dinner goes," Patrick says with a light chuckle. It was almost a laugh. If one were mistaken they might begin to think that the cop actually had a sense of humor somewhere in there. Or maybe that was Toxin, too, that birthed that side. It was hard to tell. "Nice place you got here, by the way," Patrick offers, glancing around.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan gives a bit of a smile when he seems to have a sense of humor. That was a good start. Then there's a chuckle. "Yeah, and I was thinking about taking that wall out anyways. So you guys saved me the trouble." she teases him gently as she starts to unbag the food.
