[ then, off they go! aquila reaches into their sleeve, fiddles around for a moment... makes a and then pulls back out a bottle of wine. making a little noise of "eh that works", they sweep their other hand to create a shadow portal, then offer their gloved palm to lup so they can step through.
and when they step out, they'll find themselves... on the beach!
she can hear a little mischief in their tone. ] Trick of the faceless trade. Skip the door, don't get spit out somewhere random. [ wehe ]
[ she may hold onto their hand as long as she wants, they don't seem to mind. they gesture with the wine bottle, though, letting her kick her shoes off. ]
Think a little fresh air and sunshine could do anybody some good. I walked around here earlier in the week - you can go pretty far and explore, too.
[ whoop goodbye yeah they just let her tug them along - they laugh, startled, and then off they go! they're pretty light on their feet, so, no one's going face (veil?) first into the sand yet, probably. ]
Yeah?
[ they glance around at the surroundings. ] Didn't read a lot about the station beyond the fact that everybody, y'know. [ they
make a rude gesture with the wine bottle up ostensibly near where their face is. ] From what I saw...the station was pretty cooped up compared to this place, wasn't it?
There was a lot of that, yeah! [looks away in molly and lup's threads here] It was smaller scale. Like, uh - limits, you know? The UWU could do a lot, but uh, not make a whole beach like this, or a volcano, or whatever else.
[ aquila is giving off very pleased wehehe vibes, and she might feel like she got winked at when they stop. ]
Yeah, well, think I'd take some place made by...iunno, weird magic over just about anything something called the "UWU" was making. Wouldn't even have to show it to me. Seems like a low bar.
[ no uwu speak for aquila. they've still got lups hand, so, they use their other to fiddle with the bottle top, working off whatever's holding it in place. ]
You're right, though. This place's - I like the wide openness of it. Think the hotel feels kinda cramped sometimes, too. Can't imagine how it feels for you guys.
This week was pretty shitty, but I'm okay. Sweet of you to ask.
[ they take the bottle back! lup is holding their hand and now touched their gloved fingers so i can tell her that aquila's hand is cold even through their gloves.
before they fully take the bottle, though, they give their sleeve a little shake, and out slides a curly straw, which they let drop into the bottle. the straw then disappears underneath their veil so they can actually drink. ]
I know I'm preaching to the choir on that one, though. You had the week from hell - grats on saving Cloud, though. How are you holding up?
actually - she touches their gloved fingers and startles, because she of all people recognizes that feeling.
... the curly straw makes her laugh, because it's so ridiculous.]
Um, well, better than I was on Friday? [she watches them drink.] Wine can not taste good like that. Actually, fuck, never mind any of that, are you dead?
they laugh a little around the wine, making an "eh" noise about the straw, and then promptly choke on what they're drinking. it is incredibly ungraceful and they start coughing, afterwards. ]
Wh - don't just ask people if they're dead out of nowhere!
[ they adjust their gloves. this tag is very funny now that the mingle dropped. ]
Feel like that wouldn't make me very cold, just saying. [ lava... ] Anyway, my relationship with death's like a third date conversation, at least! Fuck. Maybe it was my shtick first!
Ooh, horny. I see. The sticky hands were like a peacock flashing its feathers, huh?
[a pause.]
Well, listen. I'm not into fucking with the hood on, so you get back to me when you're allowed to show me your face. [a beat.] Really worth wooing, huh? Explain.

also, BEACH. yes!!! immediately she kicks off her shoes into the sun. goodbye.]
Oh, this is a good combination. My favorite place was the beach, at the station.

once she's out near the water, though:]
I like this place. Not just, uh, the beach, but the Prism in general. I think it's better than the station.
no subject
Yeah?

You said yours had a beach, though, right?
no subject
[she kicks at the waves.]
We had a beach, but it was uh, it was different. It was in a little room, and you could see the end of it. It wasn't like this.
no subject
[ no uwu speak for aquila. they've still got lups hand, so, they use their other to fiddle with the bottle top, working off whatever's holding it in place. ]
You're right, though. This place's - I like the wide openness of it. Think the hotel feels kinda cramped sometimes, too. Can't imagine how it feels for you guys.
no subject
It's a riot. [she says dryly.] Murder in a small cramped place is exactly my idea of a good time.
no subject
Yeah. I mean, murder in a wide open space, least you feel like you can spread your wings a bit.
[ this is returned exactly as dryly. ] Cheers! Murder sucks!
no subject
Cheers! Murder sucks. [she echoes. and then hands the bottle to them.] You uh, you surviving so far?

[ they are trying to pull their hand back now. ]
no subject
[she lets them pull away, but.]
Sheesh. Stealing my shtick. Next thing you know you're going to pull off your gloves and have lava cracks.
no subject
Feel like that wouldn't make me very cold, just saying. [ lava... ] Anyway, my relationship with death's like a third date conversation, at least! Fuck. Maybe it was my shtick first!
no subject
anyway she puts her hands on her hips, ear flicking.]
First of all, it wasn't. I'm older than you. [she does not know this.] Second of all, is this a date? You trying to woo me, party bird?
no subject
[ so nyeh.
they wiggle the bottle, though. ]
And it could be if you wanted it to be. You are really worth wooing.
no subject
[a pause.]
Well, listen. I'm not into fucking with the hood on, so you get back to me when you're allowed to show me your face. [a beat.] Really worth wooing, huh? Explain.
no subject
[ they say romancer a little exaggeratedly and more dramatically than necessary.
but they cock their head to the second part, though, veil shifting a little. ] Do you think you aren't? Or are you fishing for compliments.
no subject
[maybe a little of both, but she's not going to just say it.] If you're so good at romance, romance me, romancer.
