I can't deny that.

[ he's wearing a jacket over a t-shirt, so he'll remove that for now to wipe away some of the slime on his pants. ]

Is that your family?

[evocationary]

Mmhm.

[i'm sorry for claude's life but she has 0 shame, which is why she just takes off her clothes and throws them to the side. like she's got underwear on, but she doesn't care if he sees.]

My brother and the rest of the Starblaster crew.

[shaft]

[ help he's too ye olde for this carefully looks away

but

wait ]

Lucretia?

[evocationary]

[LORD. WELL.

she pauses, and drags in a deep breath. pulls... on a new shirt.]

Yeah. She was in your game, right? [and she DATED SOMEONE.]

[shaft]

Yeah. [ he looks fond ] I didn't realize you two were from the same place.

... Must be an interesting combination.

[evocationary]

An interesting combination?

[she asks, slightly amused.] But uh, yeah. Seems like a good chunk of our little crew has been here. Me, Magnus, Taako, Lucretia.

[nobody plays barry or davenport though rip]

[shaft]

Yours must be a popular location, not unlike Fódlan.

My condolences.

[ ... ]

Weren't you going to take a shower? You can ask me to get out of your hair.

[evocationary]

Oh, you thought I was kidding when I said I was going to make you wash my hair! That's very cute.

[she closes her closet, and then:] You don't have to go anywhere, but if you want, you can.

[shaft]

... You won't be naked, will you?

[evocationary]

[asdfks this makes her laugh.]

I guess I can keep my clothes on.

[shaft]

I'm sure you're lovely! You're clothes are going to get wet like this, aren't they?

[evocationary]

Thanks, I am.

[she's so amused.] Well, I mean, I can take them off, but you seem against it.

[shaft]

That's because I'm sure no matter how I explain it to my girlfriend, she wouldn't be appeased by the logic.

[ gives her a lil wink ]

[evocationary]

Ahhh, I see. [her ear flicks.] Well, then, I guess I had better stop hitting on you then, huh?

[shaft]

[ he smiles like he doesn't know the answer ]

Is that what you would want, if it were your partner?

[evocationary]

[she looks VERY amused at this.]

Oh, I don't know. I'm probably not the best person to ask.

[shaft]

[ he covers his face with his hands ]

We were only dating for two weeks before I got here and I've never been in a relationship before. [ ... ] To be honest, I have no idea what I'm doing, so you've gotta be better than me.

[evocationary]

[BUDDY she laughs, sitting on the edge of her bed.]

That's something you'd have to talk to her about, not me. [kicks her feet back and forth.] I don't usually mind if my partners hit on other people, but I came from an unusual circumstance, and uh.

[...] Well, I'm the third in a lot of couples, and the person I was dating before - we're not dating anymore. So maybe I don't know better than you.

[shaft]

[ stop he's really so stupid ]

Well, I did tell her that I was interested in two other people right after we got together, so our relationship has been odd so far. [ pinches his nose ] You're dating several people?

[evocationary]

[LSKJDKF CLAUDE]

Nothing wrong with that, honestly. [a beat.] ... I don't know, actually. I think it was just something fun. Stress relief.

[local elf thinks none of the people she was interested in the station like her back, more dumbass news at 11]

[shaft]

[ help ]

You should discuss it and clear the air. [ ... ] But I can also understand being afraid of the answer.

[evocationary]

Oh, well. I would love to, but two of them aren't here, another one is Molly, one of the first two is dating Molly, and the last is the future version of Emet-Selch, so you can imagine how awkward that is.

[also there's the afraid of the answer part but she's physically incapable of not making a joke out of her misery tm]

[shaft]

[ wait

what

he's trying to piece all of this together ]

... And none of them are Cloud?

[evocationary]

[a beat]

No. [...] I mean, he knows a me. Which I think he might be really close to, but jury's out on how weird that is.

[shaft]

Oh. [ hmm ] Molly seems easy enough to talk you, you don't want to bring it up with him?
