Careful; I bite.

Neither. It worked until it didn't. I don't know what to add to that.

[deuceoftears]

You don't have to add to it. That's a full answer.

What is it that refused to be distracted from?

[sixfeetofdirt]

The death toll. General ennui. I'm sure there are other things.

[deuceoftears]

I'm sure too.

[sixfeetofdirt]

Yes, well. I don't really want to talk about it.

[deuceoftears]

Okay.

I don't want to let you slip away again because I was too chickenshit and shy to correct your assumptions that you're unwanted.

[sixfeetofdirt]

I can accept that there's no accounting for taste.

[deuceoftears]

Please do. My taste is unaccountable. You aren't even close to the worst my taste has picked out.

Also I just like you.

[sixfeetofdirt]

Due to your unaccountable taste, yes. I understand.

[deuceoftears]

I'm just saying, it's not just because you have pretty hair. Gojyo has pretty hair and he's insufferable. 😒

no accounting for hakkai's taste either, alas

[sixfeetofdirt]

I don't need you to expound upon my appealing qualities, darling. Thank you.

[deuceoftears]

what about being gossipy bitches about other people, can we do that

[sixfeetofdirt]

Did you have anyone in mind?

[deuceoftears]

not really almost everyone is messy around here

lets start with girls it's less confusing for me, what do we think about sokie, she's newish

[sixfeetofdirt]

I've never spoken to her.

I don't speak to a lot of people, actually. You may need to go elsewhere for your bitchy gossip needs.

[deuceoftears]

i've only talked to her once, but i definitely judge people based on their comms presence

that's what i get for projecting, i suppose

would you let me take you to a place with a beautiful sky if i promise not to talk about it while we're there? sometime this week, maybe

[sixfeetofdirt]

Alright.

[deuceoftears]

Today, tomorrow...?

[sixfeetofdirt]

What would be easier for you?

[deuceoftears]

no u

person who died gets to pick

[sixfeetofdirt]

Today, then.

[deuceoftears]

I'll pick you up at teatime, around 3?

[sixfeetofdirt]

I'll meet you at the Enclosure entrance. 3 is fine.

[deuceoftears]

:> see you there

And sure enough, he's waiting, with his sleek yet very stupid new haircut. Instead of his usual chunky sweaters or Jedao Shu's scarfs and blazers, trying to look both professional and approachable, he's wearing an Aloha shirt - mostly buttoned, at least - khaki shorts, and is fully barefoot.

[sixfeetofdirt]

Astarion, for his part, is dressed like it's his first day on the ship - white poet's shirt, black leathers. The unusual look Jedao is sporting is noted but not remarked upon, except to ask:

"Should I have worn something else?"
