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?
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.
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.
Hmm. Bunch of elitist fucks in Waterdeep. Maybe something about how the buildings are too big and empty and stupid, or how all the people there have their heads up their asses.

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.

Not a single person in there is like, shy about what they want. [a beat.] Well, I guess Vin and maybe Nona. Who knows.
no subject
Mm.
[ there. nailed it. ]
no subject
Okay. Well. I guess go with the cigarettes for now. [watch lowe be dead and i've done this for NOTHING]
no subject
Very well. It shall be done.

[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]
no subject
Tell me about where you're from.
no subject
Oh - yeah! Okay. [GENUINELY EXCITED] Have you ever heard of Baldur's Gate? Probably not, but long shots, right?
no subject
I have not, but go ahead.
[ regale them with baldur's gate so that you may keep talking to them (ugh). ]

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

they listen without any sort of interruption which probably isn't hard to believe considering how elusive they act anyway. ]
It sounds very lively.
[ they would maybe enjoy sorcerous sundries... listen here. ]
Are all three of you from this Baldur's Gate?

Oh - definitely that their taverns suck!
no subject
[ pfffft. ]
Well, this should go over wonderfully with Gale, I'm sure. Maybe I will insult his messy tower as well to add insult to injury.
no subject
Oh, you like him! This is wizard friends!
no subject
You have a bizarre notion of friends.

I have not known him long, so there isn't any way we would be friends.
