Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[selfpreservationist]

I... know what they are.

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[420blazeit]

... that’s a start.

I’m sure I could find something you’d like, if you were interested. [ a long sort of pause. ] I just kind of feel like crud and if you have the time maybe we could spend a little time together. It seems like a lot of other stuff timed poorly with this imp crap and... it really just fucken sucks...

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[selfpreservationist]

[right, he remembers what nero told him earlier...]

I'll come by in a bit.

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[420blazeit]

I’ll see you soon.

[eventually, there's a knock on hss door]

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[420blazeit]

[ rolls out of bed and wanders to the door, opening it for him. ]

c'Mon in.

[the first thing he does is hold out a small bouquet of pink and red roses]

Here. For you.

[ she's just going to stare at it for a couple of moments, one hand reaching out, but then it retreats to cover her face instead. she normally doesn't like to cry, because she can't stand showing weakness, but things have been pretty bad lately and she's crumbling under the pressure. ]

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[420blazeit]

Raven... you- you didn't have to do this. [ but it's so sweet and they're gorgeous. she'll be trying to wipe her eyes, because she's actually 110% fine. for real. ]

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[selfpreservationist]

Of course I didn't have to. I wanted to. Do you have a vase for them?

[winding his arm around her shoulders]

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[420blazeit]

I'm sure I can find something in the kitchen.

[ grasps onto his front to lead him into the kitchen, so she can find one. ]

[ going to keep wiping at her face while she's at it. there must be no evidence. she's incapable of crying. ]

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[selfpreservationist]

[HE SEES ALL

and he's going to take a seat at the kitchen table and wait for her, politely

but knowing]

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[420blazeit]

[ she sets them on the table and just sort of... stands there. awkwardly. ]

I'm sorry about Dante, by the way. I noticed his profile, since somebody close to me lost somebody special to them recently too. It... sort just seems like it's one thing after another.

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[selfpreservationist]

[he lowers his gaze]

... I didn't think... it would affect me as much as it did. He infuriates me half the time, after all... and yet...

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[420blazeit]

[ she takes a step back, so she can lean against the counter. ] I miss him too. He reminded me of... me, and we got along really well. And now that's one less person. But he's just in the other Hell somewhere, so... at least he's not lost forever...

And he was a part of your family. And you got along with him, even if he was, like, annoying to most people. He was still fun and friendly and... really just a great guy...

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[selfpreservationist]

... Dva, did you sleep with him?

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[420blazeit]

[ she arches a brow, tilting her head because what. ] What?

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[selfpreservationist]

It's... fine if you did.

[he's deflecting to keep from talking about his feelings, it's a tried and true method, okay]

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[420blazeit]

Did you?

[ she hasn't caught on to that yet, so she's still reeling from the abrupt subject change. ]

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[selfpreservationist]

... I did, actually. Twice.

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[420blazeit]

Rode the cowboy, huh? [ chuckles. ]

I did too. Once. It kind of happened out of nowhere.

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[selfpreservationist]

[clears his throat]

He has that effect on people, I'm beginning to think...

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[420blazeit]

Charismatic people do.

Let me show you something. [ she pushes off the counter and heads for her room. ] Follow me.

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[selfpreservationist]

[follows]

Re: day 263, post library stuff probably.

[420blazeit]

[ she leads him into her room, through the closet, over the river, through the woods, into the workshop, and finally into the bodyshop... where cavaliere is parked among her vehicles. ]

He bought this while we were together, because I coerced him into racing me. We raced, crashed, and... yeah... but, ah, because leaving vehicles just, like, out and about is no cool I said I'd keep it here.

[ sets a hand on it. ]
