Who: Requiem, Nemesis
Where: the lobby, for starters
When: Day 181

[Nemesis is waiting in the appropriate spot at the appropriate time, hair tamed and carrying a small bouquet--long stems of bluebells, lily of the valley, sunflowers, carnations, and a pink rose, tied with a tyrian and navy ribbon. She rocks back on her heels as she waits, the anticipatory type of nervous, but straightens as Requiem approaches]

Hey. Wanna head out?

[pulls the sweater up a little, but ultimately just slips her hands within instead, running her hands over Req's back and closing the non-existent distance between them]

It'd be just like this, 'cept the one giving you the hug'd be the water. Super cozy~

[stakesthesame]

Gross. I'd rather have you.

[ Makes a pleased noise at the warm touch, her skin definitely pretty chilled by now.

But after a moment she pulls back, to lean down and kiss her cheek. ]

Food first, sexy bath time later.

[unbr8kable]

Hey, I was doing my part.

[She gestures to the half-unpacked meal components on the table]

You'll just have to stop being so distracting.

[stakesthesame]

Absolutely not. Besides, you're the one slackin' on sweater removal.

[unbr8kable]

You're the one who wanted to eat first. I just wanted you to stay nice and comfortable until then.

[stakesthesame]

There's no way you're not hungry.

[ okokokokok, hunches slightly and pulls back to pull that sweater off, there we go. ]

I'm gettin' kinda hungry so you GOTTA be by now.

[unbr8kable]

[shrugs]

Wasn't really thinking about it. Like I said...distracting.

[but she kneels down at the table, finishing up sorting all the food.]

[stakesthesame]

[ dumps her sweater on the floor somewhere and floats in to sit next to Nem, helping arrange the food and also grab the first red warm thing she sees. ]

Yeesssss.

[unbr8kable]

[pops open the curry bowl and starts scooping on pickles]

--You're not allergic to garlic breath, are you?

[stakesthesame]

Haven't tested it yet! We'll find out I guess.

[ drinking up some red from the sauce of some kind of soup ]

[unbr8kable]

Well, lemme know if you feel faint and it's not from my general badassiness. Maybe you can break the vampire's curse, and finally love garlic butter.

[stakesthesame]

What, has that been my curse this whole time? I'm shook.

[unbr8kable]

You gave up garlic knots in favor of super strength and flight... It's honestly not something every man could do.

[stakesthesame]

I mean, that IS why women are superior, generally.

How's your curry?

[unbr8kable]

[snickers]

It's fine. I'm not expecting anything life-changing from the convenience store, but it does the job. How's your...that soup?

[stakesthesame]

Some kinda stew, I guess? It's pretty good.

[ a pause ]

I mean, it's red and warm so I can't complain overly much.

[unbr8kable]

If you like it, then you like it. I don't see any need to be picky.

[stakesthesame]

Pretty red, so I'm happy with it.

[ not that happy. but happy enough, anyway.

she leans slightly against Nem's side. ]

[unbr8kable]

[Scoots in against her, comfortable]

...What about if you just put paint in the microwave?

[stakesthesame]

It'd smell really gross but I could eat it, sure.

[unbr8kable]

But how would it taste?

[stakesthesame]

Like whatever shade of red it is, with a side of awful paint smell. Probably.

[unbr8kable]

[takes another thoughtful scoop of curry]

Yeah, but like... If you had a super ripe strawberry and you had a photo of a super ripe strawberry, do they taste the same?

[stakesthesame]

Nah, fruit's still juicy and stuff. And a picture ain't gonna compare tti the real thing.

[unbr8kable]

But is it like fruit snacks-fake or strawberry milk-fake? 'Cause those aren't the same at all.
