So. Now we've both done fantastic things, it'll be an interesting game. Or maybe it'll be even more interesting when we get into the stuff we did before the fantastic things.

[She raises one finger, as if in indication.]

I've never paid rent before. That's fun and interesting.

From: [personal profile] whichcraft
Ohhh, I've got you beat on that one. I learned late, but I still learned.

[She laughs a little, under her breath.]

You know why I put off doing it? Because I didn't feel confident being in control of a car. I was worried about being safe.

From: [personal profile] whichcraft
...Honestly, I just think it's kind of impressive that you were like — you make it sound like it never even crossed your mind, how much those guys could've helped you.

[She looks at him a minute when he turns to her, watching him, gauging the moment — and then takes just one step closer, putting herself distinctly within his personal space, but far enough apart that it's only noticeable, not awkward.]

You're tight with an actual prince and, like...the world's most competent bureaucrat and it's like it never even occurred to you that they would pull strings for you if you asked them to. Or even if you just needed it.

[She shrugs a little.]

I couldn't do it. I'd — I'm not saying it's a good thing, but I'd have taken advantage of them. I just know myself well enough to know I would've. And you don't. You just...you just don't.

whichcraft: lord deliver me for i know exactly what i will do (PENSIVE ♚ i am surrounded by idiots)
From: [personal profile] whichcraft
Yeah. I know.

[She glances up at him, conscious suddenly of the fact that he's taller than her, made more evident when they're facing each other like this.]

But I honestly can't imagine anybody wanting to lose you. You know that too, right?

whichcraft: god the killers truly understand my soul (BURN ♚ on the back of a hurricane)
From: [personal profile] whichcraft
I told you I'm keeping you, remember? So. ...Me too.

[The sound of her voice is like the look of his smile — soft, quieter perhaps than she means it to be. Something that could take an uptick at any moment, turn stronger and louder, but doesn't.]

I won't let you get lost. I'm too greedy to let you go.

whichcraft: can't save the world if you don't look cute (OPEN ♚ just like a cardigans song)
From: [personal profile] whichcraft
Like I said. Maybe I'm just greedy.

[She hesitates, as a tiny revelation of her own sparks in the back of her mind, and her expression melts into something just a touch more surprised as she seems to mull it over like a child turning over rocks along a garden path.]

But not enough to try to take you away from them, either.

[There's one last thought that makes it right to the tip of her tongue — maybe you guys can just adopt me, too — but she holds that one back after she thinks about it on a second pass. It's — it ruins it, somehow, by giving her something in return. The point isn't to get something; in a way, it's better when she doesn't.

Never have I ever, she thinks fleetingly, caught myself taking the selfless option, since I started calling myself a witch.]

whichcraft: the world might do me in but it's all right 'cause i'm with friends (SHADOW ♚ now you see me now you don't)
From: [personal profile] whichcraft
It's not like we're some alien species. If you have to talk differently to a girl than you do to everyone else, well. She's never really meeting the you that matters, is she?

[She smiles, a little ruefully, but with genuine sentiment behind it.]

Take it from someone who's been a dozen different people. Feels a lot better to just be yourself.

whichcraft: god the killers truly understand my soul (BURN ♚ on the back of a hurricane)
From: [personal profile] whichcraft
...Yeah?

[There's a tiny little twist in the pit of her stomach, a little jump that's always there whenever someone innocently mentions the seasons. It's the sort of tell she's long since learned not to show, but showing and feeling are two very different things.

Outwardly, she's calm, but all of a sudden her nerves are starting to buzz, drawing out of the sleepy contentment she'd been settling into as she starts to pay careful attention again, the way she always does when she senses something coming, something important.]


I guess you're right. In spring it'd be more like fifty-fifty, but these days it's light late. That's...not a spring phenomenon.

whichcraft: and the ones that you wrecked won't take you back (FRAGILE ♚ you're the last beautiful girl)
From: [personal profile] whichcraft
[There it is again. There, again, for the second time, and this time she didn't even have to trick him into doing it — he just did it on his own, like a gift, unthinking, summer.

It's so much of a coincidence that she can't help but wonder if it's intentional, if he really knows. If he saw the card and remembered it, after all. If that's what he's doing now, in a weird sort of charming roundabout way that lets her believe that maybe he hadn't.

Or maybe she's being paranoid.]


Oh — really? Huh. We're month twins, then. I'm the thirteenth, August thirteenth.

[IT'S HARD WHEN YOU'RE THE WORLD'S MOST PARANOID FUCK, YOU DON'T KNOW UP FROM DOWN ANYMORE

oh my god she's the vriska to his john what even]


...Hang on, aren't you forgetting something? Quid pro quo, Mr. Silver, when's your birthday?

Ooo. A week before Halloween.

[That's easy to remember. Which is good, because she's making a mental note of it.]

Do you guys do Halloween, where you're from? Do you have it, I mean, or is it like geese?

Date: 2018-08-03 01:22 am (UTC)
whichcraft: high self-esteem is essential to a happy life (HELLA ♚ i'm the motherflippin')
From: [personal profile] whichcraft
Halloween is like...a kid's favorite holiday except for maybe Christmas. You're supposed to dress up in costumes and go around house to house knocking on doors and shaking people down for free candy, and they're socially obligated to give it to you.

[Although there is something pleasantly refreshing about hearing the word "dick" repeated this many times in a short sitting. Kind of like being back with the boys all over again.]

I don't recall mentioning geese as being dick-eating in particular, either, so who else in this dump has been telling you stories about geese?
