[looks at the parasol and is IMMEDIATELY distracted by it]

Look at you with your little umbrella! Cute.

[lmao]

[mygod]

[ really considers giving her a ol' hit with it. ]

Please. It's a necessity, but it doesn't have to look out of place.

[ablazement]

[nooooo she is so injured war... would you do this to her.......]

Necessity, huh. Why, not a big fan of the sun? Minthara's like that, except I think she'd rather die than have a little thing like that.

[mygod]

[ 😐 ]

It's uncomfortable on the eyes. What, is she afraid something small and dainty will destroy her authority?

That's rather sad.

[ablazement]

[SNORTS.]

Might be that she's just used to it. I actually haven't any idea how long she's been out from the Underdark. She hates it when I ask her questions.

[mygod]

Well, we have that much in common at least.

[ can't all be a fire-resistant tiefling. ]

If you have the option of utility and style, why not take both?

[ablazement]

Gods, that's the most wizard thing I've ever heard you say. Okay, Gale.

[amused.]

Hey, though, I wanted to ask if I could get some things for real, though. It's a week turnaround?

[mygod]

[ DO THEY BE OFFENDED BY THIS? THEY CAN'T DECIDE. they sort of exhale through their noise. like a hmph but less haughty. ]

You may. It takes about a week, yes.

[ablazement]

[this is so funny schrodingers offense]

Could I get some tools? For whittling.

Guessing weapons are out of the question?

[mygod]

I can place an order for whittling tools, yes. I cannot guarantee any weapons.

[ablazement]

Yeah, figures. That's alright. I don't care about the weapons as much.

What about cigarettes? Oh, and soba noodles.

[what a weird fucking assortment but ok]

[mygod]

[ this makes them chuckle ever so slightly. ]

One order at a time. You may pick which one you'd like first. Is there a reason you want cigarettes and... soba noodles?

[ they say soba in a funny accent exactly like someone who has never said soba in their life. ]

[ablazement]

[it's fine she doesn't notice because she has also never said soba noodles ever in her life]

They're not for me. I wanted to get something nice for Daan and Kanda. [because of course she does.] But...

[she's struggling here because she really wants the whittling tools for herself but also, she wants to be nice to her favorite sad man and her less favorite grouchy binch]

[mygod]

[ :handshake: ]

I see. What shall you do? Order for yourself, or succumb to the whims of friendship?

[ :) ]

Perhaps there is one you could borrow for a short time until you receive your own? Someone else received one as an order.

[ablazement]

[okay you little twerp]

Oh, yeah, Aqua said she put in for one, I'd just feel bad taking hers. [and there was one in her house but she has no idea who it belongs to] D'you know who the one belongs to that was at the Mortuary?

[mygod]

[ what the be nice ]

There is a difference between taking and borrowing. [ they seem thoughtful for a moment. ] Ah... I'm not sure if they would want me to say. They're very particular.

...Mm. Someone you would expect to have a tool like this.

[ablazement]

[she's like ??? who the fuck in the mortuary wants to whittle]

Not a single person in there is like, shy about what they want. [a beat.] Well, I guess Vin and maybe Nona. Who knows.

[mygod]

[ the way they smile tightly at her BUT SHE CANNOT SEE THIS WITH THE MASK. ]

Mm.

[ there. nailed it. ]

[ablazement]

[THIS IS SO UNHELPFUL THANK YOU WAR]

Okay. Well. I guess go with the cigarettes for now. [watch lowe be dead and i've done this for NOTHING]

[mygod]

[ ur welcome. ]

Very well. It shall be done.

[ablazement]

... Thanks.

[a beat.]

I really ought to learn some magic shit so I know what to talk to you about. [stubbornly continues to want to talk to them]

[mygod]

[ HELP. they sort of get this impression. ]

Tell me about where you're from.

[ablazement]

[friends you friends you friends you]

Oh - yeah! Okay. [GENUINELY EXCITED] Have you ever heard of Baldur's Gate? Probably not, but long shots, right?

[mygod]

[ NO ]

I have not, but go ahead.

[ regale them with baldur's gate so that you may keep talking to them (ugh). ]

[ablazement]

It's a big port town, yeah? On the Sword Coast. It's an absolute shithole, full of right bastards and murderers and thieves, but - that's the charm of it. Because every corner has got something worth it. There's a pastry store near the Elfsong that has these fucking amazing donut holes, they've got cream cheese in the middle of them. You'd love Sorcerous Sundries, too, it's a magic shop that's got wands and books and all that wizard nonsense.

And when it's dark, they light the streets up with cantrips, and... [a pause. she sounds a little like she's talking about an old friend that she misses, here.] The sky's so pretty, and everybody is inside the taverns, singing and laughing and talking.

It's a dream. It's like a dream.
