[guestservices]

...you do realize it's incredibly difficult to imagine you as a monster. Feral or otherwise.

[evocationary]

Well. That's because you've never seen it.

[guestservices]

And what does that matter? What I said remains true.

[evocationary]

[a little laugh.]

I guess so. [...] Hopefully you won't have to.

[guestservices]

I'm sure I won't. And even if I did...we would deal with it when the time came.

[evocationary]

Haha. That sounds foreboding.

[guestservices]

Ah. My apologies, it was...meant to be more reassuring.

[evocationary]

I know it was. I'm just teasing you.

[guestservices]

Oh. Right. I knew that.

[...aggressively continues making cinnamon rolls instead.]

[evocationary]

[a little laugh.]

I appreciate the reassurance, don't get me wrong. It's very sweet of you. [...] Good job on the rolls, too.

[guestservices]

Yes, well...you do deserve the truth in that regard, I think.

[evocationary]

[her ear flicks.]

You big on truth? [teasing... she's going to put the rolls in the oven in a sec here.]

[guestservices]

Yes. [immediately. ] Even if the truth is difficult to face and it takes effort to find it.

[evocationary]

[she watches them for a moment.]

Even when it hurts. Even when it doesn't matter, in the end.

[guestservices]

Do you really think there are times where the truth doesn't matter?

[evocationary]

[she thinks about that.]

Depends. It didn't seem to matter to the people at the station, sometimes. But for me, I guess I can't think of a specific time.

[guestservices]

[...they nod.]

The truth is a delicate thing, Lup. Even if we don't always understand it. I'm sure you know that as well as I do.

[evocationary]

[she smiles again, and this time it's a little more fond.]

You have got to stop sounding like someone I know! I already made a dumb assumption once, I refuse to do it again.

[takes the cinnamon rolls to the oven...]

[guestservices]

You do know what they say about assumptions...[but they watch her go.] Dumb or not, I'm sure you had your reasons.

[evocationary]

Catfished by an NPC... humiliating. [she huffs, shoving the rolls into the oven.]

[guestservices]

Mortifying. [dryly.] We could always tamper with a cinnamon roll to give it to them as revenge.

[this is absolutely not a serious suggestion.]

[evocationary]

[that makes her laugh, actually.]

No, no. I'm already sure nobody is going to eat these ones that I'm making, I might as well not make it worse. [she's doing it because of her brand not because she's not petty for absolutely no reason]

[guestservices]

You really ought to consider the fact that people are curious by nature. Someone is bound to eat them.

[evocationary]

I hope so. It'd suck for all this work to go to waste.

[guestservices]

They will. Believe me on this one.
