Re: cw: suicide; witness ok; endwalker spoilers

[scattershot]

Well...

[She laughs, weakly.

[There are so many things she could say to him about that: the contemptuous, the cutting, the frankly cruel. Lash out. Hurt him. Feel better - for the moment or two it took him to realize what she'd just said, and for her to realize just what she had sunk to. So she doesn't say any of them. Alisaie lets them swirl about her head, and laughs.]

You always have had the advantage over me there, brother.

[sagescion]

[He shakes his head.]

I wouldn't say I have an advantage over you. There are times when you think in ways I do not and I find that helpful. I only hope that you feel the same.

[He has no idea of what thoughts are swirling about her head, but he knows his sister is agitated. That's easy to see.]

What do you need?

Re: cw: suicide; witness ok; endwalker spoilers

[scattershot]

[I need to get out of this place. We both do.

[She doesn't say that either. What good would it do either of them?]

Have you had lunch yet?

Re: cw: suicide; witness ok; endwalker spoilers

[sagescion]

No. Let's go find something to eat.

[Offering his hand so that he can lead her away.]

Re: cw: suicide; witness ok; endwalker spoilers

[scattershot]

[She takes it. Squeezes his fingers for a moment.]

What are you in the mood for? I was thinking of something entirely self-indulgent. And warm.

Re: cw: suicide; witness ok; endwalker spoilers

[sagescion]

Indulgent? Hm. Where did you have in mind?

[Lacing their fingers together while they walk.]

Re: cw: suicide; witness ok; endwalker spoilers

[scattershot]

Oh, nowhere in particular. But somewhere with coffee and cake and - I think I'm in the mood for pizza. There's got to be somewhere in this benighted city to go and get a pizza.

Re: cw: suicide; witness ok; endwalker spoilers

[sagescion]

Pizza and coffee? You're certainly in a mood to require both - mayhap not at the same time.

[He chuckles.]

[scattershot]

Pizza first. Then coffee and cake for dessert. You have tried cappuccino, haven't you?

[sagescion]

Not lately, no. However, I think I still prefer tea.

[Tea has much more varied flavor if you ask him.]

[scattershot]

Oh, you would. Well, I'm sure we can find somewhere that sells them both. You're coming, right?

[sagescion]

Why shouldn't I? I don't suppose you'll try to eat an entire pizza yourself?

[scattershot]

Not in a single sitting, brother, no. And certainly not without your capable assistance.

[sagescion]

Perhaps a friendly competition, then? To see who eats the most slices.

[He's joking. He'll lose for sure. He's just trying to make her laugh.]

[scattershot]

I don't need to make everything into a competition, you know.

[Yes, well, that's probably because you lose every time it doesn't involve upper arm strength or generally existing around medium to large bodies of water.]

But, if you insist...

[sagescion]

I still don't know where we would find pizza, however. Do you have any ideas?

[He just eats whatever Hurricane cooks or whatever he finds at the store and cooks it himself - nothing too fancy, though.]

[scattershot]

Well, there are approximately eight hundred different restaurants here. One of them has to serve it. Take that covered marketplace by the sea - Aqua City. That has dozens. It's certainly a bit of a trip, but I'm rather in the mood for one. What do you say?

[sagescion]

I say a trip for pizza is a trip worth taking, sister.

[Which is to say, he'll let her lead the way.]

[scattershot]

It's about three-quarters of an hour, by train. That's probably the most straightforward way to get there. Unless you've been taking driving lessons while I wasn't looking?

... you know, mayhap we should learn to drive. It can't be that difficult.

[sagescion]

Then we best make haste.

[As to her thoughts on driving-]

Could someone on Heart teach us?

[scattershot]

I'm sure Zhongli would know. We've seen him do it, and he did say he knew how to ride a motorcycle.

[Beat.]

Hurricane too, I suppose.

[Her enthusiasm for asking Hurricane to perform any kind of service at all is lukewarm at best. At best.]
