[ She tugs on his arm to get him to stop walking, and even if he doesn't, she does. ]

However important it was or not, I still made the choice to visit you.

[ Her tone and her gaze are intent. ]

Recognize it.

[dotcom]

[ he'll pause when she tugs, tilting his head as he listens to her.

there's a small smile. ]

I won't waste the visit. [ and a little more thoughtfully, ] You're the first person I'm seeing.

[ other than mineo, but he doesn't count since he literally lives here. ]

[fergalicious]

[ Medb turns that over in a head for a second before she gets on her tiptoes to press a kiss to his cheek. ]

Good. You're not the only one who can leave people on read.

[ But apparently, she's appeased enough because she starts walking again, as if she knows where the fuck she's going. ]

[dotcom]

[ he believes in her ability to look like she knows what she's doing

but that's fine, since their destination is nearby. it's a fancy tea shop, that serves nice tea related foods. it shouldn't be a surprise that takeru would go to somewhere that sells pastries.

but once they get close to it, he points it out to her. ]

[fergalicious]

[ Yeah, she isn't surprised at all. She laughs softly and walks in like she owns the place. ]

I want the best table.

[ Wish that would get her in trouble. ]

[dotcom]

[ i also wish it would, but she gives the aura of being Important, so the staff will bow and start walking to a very scenically placed table.

takeru just snorts. ]

[fergalicious]

[ She would also magically cheat her way out of being in trouble because everyone here is a normie even if they can also be a secret or not-so-secret terrorist. ]

You wouldn't want anything less either.

[dotcom]

[ yea they just don't have superpowers. they have like, bombs,

but he will settle down and hand her a menu. lots of pastries and cakes and the sandwiches you get with tea. their drinks menu is so long. ]

It's still been a while since I've seen this in person.

[fergalicious]

[ and everybody still has a gun?

She peruses the menu once she's seated, too, skimming over all the options. She knows what she likes most, so she flips to those sections. ]

It's a treat.

[ Said like she's a full banquet, but seeing her be herself is a treat. ]

[dotcom]

[ don't remind him

he is sure there are people who disagrees with that statement.

... very unfortunate that he is not one of them. terrible. ]

Just a treat?

[fergalicious]

[ It's very terrible.

Medb hums, and her smile is beautiful in the way the flower of a Venus flytrap is. She closes her menu and sets it down before leaning forward. ]

It's too little to be called more, but I can give you a meal later. You can even have the full banquet, if you show me a good enough time.

[dotcom]

It's a deal then.

[ and anything else he is about to say gets interrupted, as a server comes by to get their drinks order


takeru gets a coffee drink but it is so sugary. he has my irl tastes. ]

[fergalicious]

[ How much sugar Takeru likes ends me every time it comes up in his route. Francy, your irl tastes.

Medb flashes the server a flirtatious smile before ordering a milk tea. ]

What are your plans, now that you're done with your terrorists?

[dotcom]

Well, I still have some unfinished business to take care of.

[ he still needs to murder a man. ]

But I promised that I'd take care of Adonis first.

[ waiting shouldn't do any arm, since the wish basically means he'd be able to accomplish it. ]

[fergalicious]

Are you going to finish it alone?

[ She's not so worried he'll be able to do the act itself because she knows his wish will help him do it, but she is a little worried about the aftermath for him. ]

[dotcom]

Well, the only person here is Mineo, and like hell I'd want him there for it.

[ it took a lot just to invite medb over to just chat. ]

[fergalicious]

[ She checks to see that their server isn't coming back soon before she speaks. ]

That kind of business is personal, so do it in whatever way that satisfies you, but since you had to wish for it, I'm a little worried about the aftermath.

[ She isn't someone who will say revenge isn't worth it. Revenge can be very sweet, but she doesn't know if the person Takeru wants to kill will lead to someone coming after him for it or not. ]

[dotcom]

[ hm...

he has to think about it for a second before he answers. ]

Oh, there's a real possibility there could be some fallout. I never really expected to live that long if I ever got to kill him.

[fergalicious]

[ Displeasure twists her expression, and she stands abruptly. Surprise flashes across her features, as if she's surprised by her own reaction, and she slowly sits back down with a frown. ]

... You really are hateful, huh?

[dotcom]

[ he's also startled by her reaction, his eyes widening for a moment until he settles his expression into a smile. ]

Well, it's not like I'm going to try to die. I'm not suicidal. [ a pause, and his smile lessens. ] Just realistic. I've spent too much time on this to not know what the odds are.

[ admittedly, he knows the immediate odds are now more in his favor because of his wish and everything else that happened on the base.

but. he can't say what the longterm consequences will be. ]

[fergalicious]

[ Medb's displeasure wanes. She said all that because she's realistic enough, but hearing it from him is more unsettling than she thought it'd be.

All her desires aside, she never expected to like him this much. ]

... Yeah. I know you're not usually stupid. You're terrible at communicating, but I don't want to never hear from you again.

[ She now thinks his wish is too focused. ]

[dotcom]

I think I'm done with running away.

[ he is still pretty uncertain of how he's going to react after he gets his revenge, if he's honest, but at the very least... takeru will try to stay put. ]

I'll just need to figure out some... logistics, I guess. In case things go wrong.

[fergalicious]

Yeah? It'd be nice if you could run to me.

[ Her smile is teasing. How much she means it is up in the air, but at the very least... ]

I could make things simpler, after you get your wish.

[dotcom]

[ ah, yes. the other thing he considered.

so many people at the base have powers where they're from. ]

Hmm, how so?

[ the server is going to return with their drinks in a minute. ]

[fergalicious]

I'm charming.

[ Oh, her confidence.

She means she can magically charm people to do whatever she wants, but she sees their drinks coming. ]

Don't you agree?

[ This question is to their server, no magic skills active, even if they didn't hear the first thing she said. ]
