W6 : SUNDAY

[disestablishment]

[ I guess this is after their little Verdant party. Aymeric is packing the slice cakes that they finish for the residents now. Despite the show he put on earlier, he seems... Haggard, dispirited.

Still, his GOOD JOB NOT DYING cake must not go to waste. ]

[fleshedout]

...

[She's coming up to put a hand on his back.]

You're going to tire yourself by working hard for everyone else's sake, you know.

[disestablishment]

[ He does stop when she puts her hand on his back. ]

... I know, but I also know not what else to do during such times.

[ Aside from work. He coughs some petals. ]

[fleshedout]

Let me help you.

[Please.]

[disestablishment]

[ He laughs a bit. ]

You can help me slice the rest of the cake then, into reasonable size pieces.

[ Their GOOD JOB NOT DYING cake. ]

Maybe paired with some light conversation.

[fleshedout]

Okay.

[She can do that! Time to get the knife.]

Light conversation I can try to do, too.

[disestablishment]

[ me like a knife to stab aymeric that's fair. ]

And you are in charge of the topic.

[fleshedout]

...I'm not good at this stuff, you know this.

[disestablishment]

I know.

[ he is a little shit actually ]

[fleshedout]

[SHE SORT OF KNOWS THIS BUT >8I]

What can I even talk about? The people here, maybe?

[disestablishment]

If that is on your mind, then aye. I won’t struggle or shy away from any topic.

[ aymeric gives hot pants the gun she didn’t want but she has power now ]

[fleshedout]

[why are all her friends insufferable and why does she like them for being insufferable even if she's >8I about it]

...I've met a lot of good people here. Including you. And I'm...glad for that.

[UNEXPECTEDLY CANDID???]

[no she's like this but its still >8I]

[disestablishment]

That is sweet of you, Mistress Hot Pants. Of course I’ve always known, considering your heart is so spacious.

[ so insufferable actually ]

I am, too. Did you wish to speak of someone in particular?

[fleshedout]

Ugh.

[Don't say it like THAT.]

I-I don't know.

[Just name a certain person and she'll probably talk about them.]

[disestablishment]

... What about whom you'd call your best friend?

[ Aymeric thinks this shouldn't be hard? Hot Pants wears the big pants. ]

[fleshedout]

....

[A bit flummoxed?]

I have...several? Maybe? It's hard to choose...

[disestablishment]

[ A laugh. ]

Our Mistress Hot Pants is quite popular.

[fleshedout]

[SHE IS GOING TO PUT THIS CAKE IN YOUR FACE]

Stop, no, it's...I just have...several people in mind, okay...

[disestablishment]

[ HE WILL BEHAVE. ]

Then choose one that comes naturally to you. Or you can name them all in whatever order you wish.

[fleshedout]

[mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm]

Um. November. Garou. Itsuki. Buzen. Kazunari. Kashuu. Maybe. But I...like a lot of other people too...oh, and, uh, Jiuqing. No order.

[disestablishment]

[ me: they're all men
also me: this game has too much testosterone ]

That is a very good list, Mistress Hot Pants. [ But this has him curious: ] Did you not have anyone on your star?

[fleshedout]

[GO TELL BRITT THAT JIUQING IS A GUY NOW, HEI]

...No. I had colleagues, but no friends. The job didn't allow for much else.

[disestablishment]

[ SHE WAS LISTED LAST AFTER MORE WORDS ]

An adventurer whose duties shut away connection... 'Tis good you got a chance here to make friends, then. A fulfilling journey.

[ Thinks. ]

What of love?

[fleshedout]

[MAYBE THERE WAS A REASON...]

Yes, I agree.

[About the friends part, but then...she frowns.]

What about love?

[disestablishment]

[ whispers crystal is this a crush...... su pants.... mi pants is su pants? ]

Have you found it here?
