I will never understand you.

I’m going to stay somewhere else.

regardless of my remorse or attempts at atonementˎ my very nature will always lead to hurt and suffering. that is the truth of who i am: a bad person.

He sucks at dancing.

I hate being all wet and cold like this. I don’t want to be here.

I don’t know how he convinced me to come here.

He keeps staring at me what do I do

Just seems like more trouble than it’s worth. Too rowdy, too risky. If I wanted to deal with that, i’d be in another admin-filled interrogation room. ( a laugh escaped her, leaning back a bit with a grin. some snickers following it while looking off to the side. ) Only benefit I see +

That’s certainly a … creative solution to such a problem. Commendable. ( their body pointed toward the other. attention solely on him as they spoke. despite how awkward the body language was, he remained surprisingly well articulated. ) You don’t have to worry much. I’m not exactly +

. . . I don’t much care for strawberries, truthfully. But I suppose it wouldn’t be so bad to try some other things. Just don’t make a mess, dear. ( grabbing a napkin, and gently dabbing at the corners of her mouth. )

. . . I rather like owls. They’re very intriguing, not only visually but in the way their instincts work. I could go on about them. What fascinating little avians they are.

( hesitant , yet they lean forward. a gentle bite taken from the strawberry before she soon leans back again. )

. . . I suppose I could indulge you.

get me out of here.

I’m not a part of the freak fest i’m minding my business.

How many times do you think it would take to hit your head enough to become comatose ?

. . . 💢💢💢

Perhaps not, I must refuse such an … offer.

. . . ( 💭 ) Quite an assumption, no .ᐣ

I heard that. Don’t play coy, Chance.

Perhaps your skills would be better utilized on Chance.

? ? ?

?

Is this like how presumably animals have “love bites” ?

?

I miss my Achilles. Poor darling … if only I could hear his sweet little hiss now.

Ok

He ( for some reason ) seems to not dislike how I act.

Hm.

I suppose that’s better than nothing. But it certainly isn’t ideal to have to rely on the luck of . . . Someone. To even get the ability to have a bed. ( Eyes rolled , as their feathers shook slightly. ) Also , i’d like to apologize if any feathers slip in my time here. I’m sure you +

Interesting. Bit of a handygal, I guess. Perhaps they could use one of those falling over into their laps. My goodness … not to be cruel, but the arrangements and environment there feel far less comfortable. ( A slight sniffle , as a shudder came to her. From the cold or from horror, who could +

. . . oh

Hm … nice place.

( Isaac shifted in their seat. A mix of discomfort and mild upset flickering within her icy eyes. Grip tightening on her own thigh. ) . . . I see. ( The tone seemed dejected. Like hearing of the gambler made the casual aspect of their talk turn more tense. Something was there, +

I feel like having a dream of someone specific shooting you isn’t very great of a sign.

( His head slightly leaned against the others’ , a small sigh escaping her grasp. A slight side hug as an arm wrapped around her friend. ) You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll handle it, even if I come up with something from scratch. Trust me, it’ll be fine. Relax.

. . . Care to elaborate? I’m fairly new , so I don’t really know the details of whatever feud exists around here. ( Hands move to fold and rest upon her own lap. Interest had certainly been piqued, and their eyes were all on him. Awaiting some sort of explanation. )

Troubling . Very troubling .

I wonder if they still hold onto the late night ice cream ‘adventure’. … I don’t wanna know, actually.

( Out of sight, a necklace hidden beneath clothes is gently held. An expression almost close to pain crossing the icy prince’s face. A shine of something catching in the light, before she quickly shoves it back to its place. )

. . . Eh .ᐣ Survivors .ᐣ ( Sitting down near — yet a reasonable gap between the pair. Looking toward Mafioso with a genuine confusion. ) You mean the guys who live there .ᐣ They didn’t have much to do with that whole thing. Just … some complications.

( Silently trailing behind , she couldn’t help but pause for a moment upon seeing the grandiose room before them. Overkill, wasn’t it ? But not a word was said, as a nod of appreciation was given. Soon slipping in and gently closing the door. Quickly slipping into the smallest of the suits +

. . . It ended fine. It got handled. I’d consider it a success. ( The tone , once light now had a coldness to it. Arms folding over his chest. Looking away from their friend. ) I have it under control.

. . . Then don’t. Don’t worry. It’ll happen, mistakes will catch up and I will handle it. I’ll handle everything. I did it before, didn’t I .ᐣ

You’re a mega dork, forgive me. I must remember titles better. ( a gentle snicker. )

Nate ratted you out. What were you thinking .ᐣ

Perhaps memory doesn’t serve them too well. But when it hits .. surely he’ll remember what I did. Then it’ll happen.

Caleb.

( fighting back an amused smile , their arms cross. ) You find new ways to baffle me, and I realize how much of a weirdo you are every time, dork.
