124. Plans

[corrinesbell]

I've been thinking about it for the past few days, and I think...I think I wanna have a tea house. It was...I liked it. Anyone wanna point me in the right direction for a place where I could put one? The place it was...y'know, before...isn't what I can use anymore.

[She's thought about how doing something like this is pretty much declaring, after all this time, a belief in the permanence of her situation. ...Oh well. It's also something to do and maybe it'll give other people here a chance to just not think about some stuff, if they need the chance.]

Hey, Elicia? D'you think I could come and...look at some of those, uh, pictures you had? ...The ones from the orchard, I mean.

[Alternately, you can meet up with her on her way to the clothing shop to see if there's anything...well, if there's anything.]

[He looks closely. He looks kind of dorky when he sticks his tongue out unconsciously.]

Mmmm. Nah.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

You sure?

[but she guesses he looks sure enough]

Mm, okay. [for now she's going to just...hold onto this dish towel then.] Sorry. I didn't mean to do that.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

It happens. Better the glass than me.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[a nod, but nothing else really.]

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Sorry. I shouldn't have gotten so mad over what you said.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[a bit more silence first]

I just wanna know if it's all real. If this would even be happening if we were where we belonged.

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

I can't say for sure. Wouldn't say it's impossible, though.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Isn't it? They wouldn't accept you and Meltokio doesn't want much to do with me either.

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Who said anything about Meltokio? The way things are going, all my influence will be gone pretty soon anyways.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

...Well it's where you live. And I don't think I'm gonna be able to stay there.

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

We'd figure something out.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[she just throws her dish towel in the sink and starts looking around for the band-aids]

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Here, I already got one for you.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Thanks.

[...then you are doing it. Have a hand again.]

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

[Sure, sure. He'll fix her right up.]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Thanks.

[arguing with you is so tiring.]

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

[Well he is kind of like a brick wall some days.]

Anytime.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[She needs to hit a brick wall some days.]

I'm sorry I yelled at you too.

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I need it, you know.

[Want a hug, dear?]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah but...not all the time.

[yes. Hugging is go.]

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Whatever you say.

[Yay!]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[he's doing most of the hugging and she is doing more of the making herself as small and huggable as possible.]

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

[Well, that works too.]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[...She may be having a moment. It's so dumb to get this way over a drinking glass]

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

[True, but Zelos doesn't really care. She can have all the moments she wants.]
