w7, monday

[haematocritical]

[ we're on the hiiiighway to an Ending of Some Description. ]

So. Is there anything you desperately want to get done before we get ripped out of this place to wherever we may or may not end up, or have to go home, or whatever?

Drinking every juice at the juice place? Gothic makeover? No fighting the bees.

[ablazement]

[it's alpha affection week so she just immediately grabs his hand

I'M NOT DOING MOIST I HATE IT so she's normal.]

Oh, gothic makeover sounds very fun. I really want to just sort of... have a good time before everything goes to shit.

[haematocritical]

[ oh he is alpha handed. yuul will be delighted. ]

Agreed. Make use of all the stuff we have here before we have to hustle or perish, something like that?

[ablazement]

[why yuul help]

You got it -- oh, I guess I can't really call you fangs anymore, huh.

[haematocritical]

[ because yuul keeps asSIGNING HIM A NESTING OMEGA ]

I think at this point the nickname has stuck.

[ablazement]

Guess so.

Let's do the salon? We've got a lot to gossip about, I think.

[haematocritical]

[ THE OLD WIVES GOSSIP. ]

We do? [ they do ] But yes, I’m interested in the salon. After you, darling?

[ablazement]

What, you don't think so?

[but yes let's goooooo salon time]

[haematocritical]

I have heard all about your sex life at this point, darling.

[ JUST AS A REMINDER. let's have painted nails for whatever shenanigans happen on tuesday ]

[ablazement]

[yessss painted nails]

Not just that. There's other things. [a beat] Oh, Boots got very mad at me for not mentioning the tadpole, I hope you know. You tattletale.

[if they already talked about this no they didn't i'm too tired to go find it]

[haematocritical]

[ STYLISSSSHHH. ]

And here I thought you'd have shared the potential life changing tentacle issue with the love of your life, darling.

[ said like a fucker who didn't have to tell his boyfriend anything because problems shared and all that. ]

[ablazement]

Well, I was a little busy with the engine problem.

[she does not protest the phrase love of her life though.]

[haematocritical]

[ hehe ]

Which was resolved when you got here, but being dead is an issue in and of itself I suppose.

[ablazement]

I'll be honest, fangs, half our conversations end with us in bed, so between that and dealing with curses, teeth bees and the whole idea that only five people can be left alive, we got distracted.

[haematocritical]

This does not surprise me in the slightest.

[ GOOD FOR YOU GIRL. GET LAID. MULTIPLE TIMES. ]

Well, lucky you that I'm here to tattle on you.

[ablazement]

Lucky me. [she squeezes his hand.] Lucky me that you're here. Gale too. It was a little lonely.

Not that I don't love Aerith and the others, but the two of you are important to me.

[haematocritical]

It wasn't even that long, but it was quite strange not having you around. Probably strange in different ways for all of us.

[ he as the spoilt child who only had to miss each of them for a week. ]

[ablazement]

I could see you but I couldn't talk to you. I've gotten so used to it.

[...]

After all this, when we go back - you'll stick around, right?

[haematocritical]

And there we were knowing you could see us but with no clue where you were.

[ hm. ]

Gale's planning something regarding that, isn't he? [ their aus ] Where, precisely, would I end up going with a tadpole in my head?

[ablazement]

That's what he said but - that's not what I mean. I mean, more like... after all that. After we take care of the brain and everything.

[haematocritical]

[ hmm. ]

I'm not sure I plan to stick around Baldur's Gate. [ he's barely left there for two centuries. he doesn't relish the thought of staying there longer. ]

Gale's heavily hinting I go to Waterdeep with him.

[ablazement]

I don't know that I'm gonna stick around the Gate either.

[it was home once, and she loves it still, so much. but... the longer she's been here, the more she's wondered if it's just her memories that she loves. not the city itself.]

I think you should, you know. Go to Waterdeep. You haven't got to stay, but I think the two of you should get to know each other without all the fucking peril.

[haematocritical]

[ imagine if karlach comes to visit and they're like oh we broke up. without the peril we hate ech other. ]

...

It's not not appealing. He's certainly make a big deal of the culture and social scene there.

[ablazement]

[i'm wheezing no!! be in kiss forever]

As long as you don't feel trapped. You're free to do whatever the fuck you want now.

[haematocritical]

[ it'd be so funny but i think they're married now. if you ask gale. ]

Terrifying, isn't it? I don't even need to think of a way to keep the bloody tadpole.
