[ they take a breath. in, and out, and then straighten back up. ]
Yeah - yeah! 'm fine, yeah. Y'know, love getting my memories dumped out in front of people like that, especially the shitty ones.
[ there's a little clack noise when they pull their hand down, like metal hitting against wood, but it's small, and they shake their head afterwards. ]
...had something I loved that I had to protect. Doesn't make it right, but... [ well, they trail off there. they had this conversation already. ]
[her ear flicks a little at the sound of the wood.]
Listen, I tried to kill Rupert in my excursion for the same reason, I'm not judging. [...] And uh, no kidding. Did you know I'm getting flashbacks of memories that don't even belong to me?
You too? Someone else told me the same thing. [ it sounds like they might be making a little bit of a face. ] 's really fucking weird to think about - a million different versions of you, getting sucked into ... whatever these things are.
[ they wave their hand in the general direction of the hotel. murder hotel. ] Weird that this is so consistent across all these places, too. Guess it's... really shitty bonding. The memory thing.
mm. they make a quiet noise, agreeing with her - it does suck. their veil shifts a little, like they're watching her hand, but they don't say anything about it.
[ this is more dry, matching her pouty tone as they lift up their mimosa glass and absently summon up their little shadow portal of holding to pull the breakfast back out for them both. ]
...I get it, though. Jokes aside. [ there's just not much they can do, goes unsaid, but - lup will probably get that too. ]
You'll be here all week. [ they're snickering at that joke even still, because they too have a terrible sense of humor. we need a lawyer! yeah! we sure do! ] I'll give you hilarious.
Apparently, we need a union, whatever the fuck that is, too.
You do. A union might actually be a bit more helpful. You ask for a lawyer and you get, uh, Sebastian. Which - don't get me wrong. I love the boy, but he's missing a few pages in his Extreme Teen Bible, if you get my meaning.

Trust me, bucko, I don't like it either. [a pause, as she absently rubs at the back of her neck.] It's entertaining, at least.
[sigh.] Though I gotta say, I'm kind of sick of being that.

and to the question; ] Entertaining, you mean?
no subject
Yes, entertaining. I'm not a circus animal. [but she's mostly just pouting.]

no subject
Yeah, I know. This whole gig seems like a circus. Are you even getting paid?
no subject
Agreed. Think I've had enough clowns for ten lifetimes at least. [ like a hard pass on that one. and to getting paid...
... they make sort of a wavy hand noncommittal gesture like "eh?" so jury's out on that one. ]
We get tips! Guess that what matters. Even if some of you guys're terrible at tipping.
no subject
You really should get yourself a lawyer. [she thinks she's very funny]

Thanks, I'm hysterical, I know. [for a lot of reasons that she probably doesn't even know, lbr]

[ shaking their head... they huff a laugh, though, amused. ] I just wanna pinch his cheeks, sometimes! Can't help myself. Too easy to pick on.

[ that's very cute... his cute little nemesis ]
Are you colluding with the enemy? [ this is playfully threatening. ] Lup.
no subject
and then she keeps going.]
I'm not speaking without my lawyer present! [heehee.]
no subject
Criminal. [ teasing. ] How dastardly.
no subject
[a pause.] I think I am going to do the fire hair thing, after all.
no subject
[ but, oh! they cock their head, and... seem to be grinning, a bit. ] You want help?

[they might get the sense she is teasing, though.]
