[Rider wasn't one to angst and cry over losses like some people. Oh, no. That wasn't her style.]

Prospero, I'm not a woman who likes to screw around and repeat herself. So I'll ask this once. Just once, and if I don't get a satisfactory answer I might just start wrecking shit.

Where.

Is.

Nathan.

Drake.

[Her coping mechanism was anger and threats.]

[Some time after that call, Rider could be found on the deck of her still rather banged-up ship in the harbor--slumped in a chair over a small table she set up when it wasn't sailing. Usually she enjoyed blasting terrible music from a radio set upon it, but today the only thing on it was an alarming number of empty glass bottles.]

...fuckin' city.

[Anger, threats of violence, and alcohol were perfectly good coping mechanisms in her book, thank you very much.]

Wouldn't be the first time I've been shot at.

Feel like talking about it?

[hellburner]

I don't talk about my problems. I kill them or I drink until I forget there was ever a problem to begin with.

[theycallmesnake]

Both methods sound like you're in denial. Killing your problems won't make them go away, it'll just remove them temporarily. They'll still linger in your mind, and drinking is just gonna kill your brain cells.

You're not my mother, don't tell me what to do.

You sure you're an adult? Cause, with that kind of response, you sound like a kid.
