... I can't promise you more at the moment. I'm admittedly, a little messed up.

[ he's fine with admitting to this, considering he told her about saying yes to the furby and his whole revenge scheme. but it's said casually enough that he's generally fine with it? it's a fact of life that he has accepted and will deal with. ]

But... I'd like to try.

[fergalicious]

Aren't we all a little messed up?

[ She doesn't think that makes her any less perfect. Maybe that's the difference - she's died with regrets, but she hasn't regretted the choices she's made.

Given the option, she would have said yes to the furby and not regretted it. She only would have regretted getting fored (furby vored). She's hatched a whole revenge scheme in the legend she's known for and not regretted that either. ]

It's really okay if you are. [ She stood beside someone who sealed away their ability to feel joy and... didn't feel too much regret about that. ] I don't mind. Just try hard for me, okay?

[ ...

She leans in closer to him, keeping her voice low as if to impart a secret (because for her, it is). ]

I'll try for you, too.

[ hilariously, takeru probably would not have regretted it if it actually worked. instead, he immediately got triggered after and then had to still hang out with the people he attempted to betray. in all of his plans, he never actually had to deal with the consequences of his actions. not being able to run after really ruins that.

it's also hilarious that they're having this conversation in public. some guests are shyly peaking at them. medb is hot? ]

... then, we'll both do our best.

[ whatever that equals to. ]

[fergalicious]

[ Imagine facing consequences for your actions? Who does that? Live and learn, Takeru, or set up a fall guy next time. They're both awful people, and his betrayal didn't have lasting consequences for her, so she can sweep it under the rug for now.

Medb is used to people looking at her because she knows she's hot, and unfortunately, it's not enough to deter her from doing what she wants.

Which is to steal a kiss from Takeru.

It just happens to be in public. ]

[dotcom]

[ takeru is the opposite of pda-y, but sadly he likes kissing, which is why he kisses back easily enough. when they pull apart, he raises a slight brow, resting his chin against a palm. ]

You just disappointed half the people in this room.

[ he sounds like he thinks this is funny. ]

[fergalicious]

[ It's unfortunate that she'll try to take advantage of how much he likes kissing for her own desires. She giggles, amused. ]

That's too bad for them, hm?

[ Said in a tone that asks why she should care. ]

They should be pleased just to see me.

[dotcom]

[ unfortunately, they probably are.

he opens his mouth to reply, but the waiter hurries over with the rest of their things. i am assuming they ordered food i don't actually remember if they did or not and i'm not backreading.

he looks back at her after. ]

Mmhm. What have you been doing since then anyway?

[fergalicious]

[ They have food now. It's fine.

She breaks off a piece of cake with a fork and waves it about idly. ]

Oh, nothing too much. Killing monsters, correcting history, making mead.

[dotcom]

[ i see.

he takes a bite of his own food, blinking just once. ]

Mead.

[fergalicious]

Yeah.

[ She takes a bite of her cake. ]

It's legendary. [ Well, more like it's part of her legend. ] It's delicious and potent.

[ It makes anyone who drinks it intoxicated with her. All her powers be like, you will be captivated by me. ]

[dotcom]

[ this is so suspect ]

Visited anyone?

[ he's just curious, since he hasn't really... visited... or reached out... ]

[fergalicious]

You're the first. Feel special.

[dotcom]

[ not even to go stab childe again, wow ]

I'll take the honor seriously.

[fergalicious]

[ Childe would like the stab too much, wow. Why would Medb give him the satisfaction when her affections for him dropped at the end there?

She's not that generous. ]

You'd regret it if you didn't.

[dotcom]

Mm. Even if I had time to see anyone before this, I think most people were in the middle of their planets exploding or whatever.

[ would he have visited them even if that wasn't the case?

probably not. but it just makes it more inconvenient. ]

[fergalicious]

Even if you had the time, would you have wanted to?

[ She's going to call him out. He was running at the end of their time at the base. It took him so long just to text. ]

[dotcom]

Hm. Probably not, no.

[ another bit of honesty.

he really was highly considering never seeing anyone again, but unfortunately he could not escape mineo since they went back to the same place. ]

... in general, the number of people I'd want to see again is small.

[fergalicious]

[ She hums. ]

Me. Mineo. Grace. Your adventure group.

[ Those are her guesses of who he might be willing to see or has a chance of stopping him from running completely, at least. ]

[dotcom]

[ ughhhh

she's right but ugh. ]

More than I would have thought going in...

[fergalicious]

[ She finishes her cake with a smile. ]

Don't act like it's such a terrible thing.

[dotcom]

It was a terrible thing.

[ past tense. ]

I didn't want to deal with most people.

[fergalicious]

[ The tense isn't lost on her. ]

Most people aren't worth it.

[ She isn't going to try to convince him to give (more) people a chance. What matters is that he likes her in the end. What matters is that she has every chance. ]

[dotcom]

[ he is

not going to argue that because he agrees. ]

No, I don't think that's going to change. People are usually idiots.

[ ppl at other tables: why are these two so rude ]

[fergalicious]

Mm-hmm. That's why it's nothing to take advantage of them and then leave them.

[ people at other tables: why are these two so horrible ]

[dotcom]

Words of a true heartbreaker.

[ he takes another bite of his food. ]

Oh. Do you have anything in mind that you wanted to do? Since there's a lot more things open now, there's more options.

[ nice that quarantine is lifted ]
