[unbr8kable]

Not worried, just asking. And it's fine if I do, I'll grab Hurricane's breakfast first, don't worry.

[stakesthesame]

[ ?? pushing herself up to sit so she can grab the strawberries, giving a handful to nem ]

"Hurricane's breakfast"...?

[unbr8kable]

[has a strawberry; doesn't look quite as red as she'd thought they did, but tastes okay]

He can't go in the kitchen so I usually pick it up. Buying food every day is expensive.

[stakesthesame]

[ takes a few herself and starts sucking the red out of them...

mm. worry. ]

Hey... do you remember what happened yesterday?

[unbr8kable]

Yeah? What in particular am I supposed to be remembering?

[stakesthesame]

I thought you said...

[ ... ah. well, it's either a sentimental thing or a "forgot hurricane is gone" thing, but either way... ]

No, nevermind. I must have misunderstood. Come on, we should eat and head back soon.

[unbr8kable]

Alright.

[pause]

...You wanna go back now? Your team must be missing you.

[stakesthesame]

I can wait until you're done. I ain't leaving without you anyway.

And I already texted Doodles, so he knows what's up.

[unbr8kable]

I would go with you. I can eat stuff even if it doesn't got a color, y'know. And--you got injured, right? You should be resting somewhere nice, not out here with me.

[her tone isn't guilty, it's matter-of-fact]

[stakesthesame]

Well. I want to be with you.

[unbr8kable]

Even you've gotta have more options than that.

[stakesthesame]

I like this option a lot though.

[unbr8kable]

You sure you're okay? That was a heck of a scar.

[again, her tone is even, placid]

[stakesthesame]

[ yeah. Worrying... no sense in freaking too hard she knows what's going on. ]

The sleep helped a lot. I'm sure. I'll rest more later, it's okay.

[ giving her the rest of the colored strawberries also. ]

[unbr8kable]

Alright.

[obediently eats a few more berries, even]

Lucky you guys're immune to this stuff.

[stakesthesame]

... yeah. I'll be happy when you're back to your fussy old self honestly.

[unbr8kable]

I'm not fussy. Name a time I wasn't reasonable.

[stakesthesame]

You can be fussy and reasonable at the same time, geez.

I'm just saying I miss your attitude, that's all, as much as I enjoyed cuddling in an abandoned store.

[unbr8kable]

[hesitates]

[but simply blinks in response]

If you say so.

If you're ready to go, come on. I'll take you home.

[stakesthesame]

[ this is so so so so awful. Just smiles through it. Act normal. ]

No way dude, I'm the one taking YOU home.

[And gets up]

[unbr8kable]

Guess that's easier, since you guys hate us more than we hate you.

[also gets to her feet, brushing off her trousers]

Got everything?

[stakesthesame]

[ Grabs her bass and folds up the blanket ]

What? Ww dont hate you. You can come to Zrael whenever you'd want.

But yeah, let's go.

[unbr8kable]

Yeah you do. It's not that big a deal, it's pretty old news.

[starts for the exit, calm. surely one can't get lost this close to home, and even if one can, who cares?]

[stakesthesame]

Nah, dude, we don't really do... grudges and stuff. Eater says it's more just something that happened? And some personality clashes.

But I know Zrael's got this reputation, so whatever.

[ gently steers her the right way if she goes off course... ]

[unbr8kable]

[she is more or less fine at picking the right direction, even if she has to take more time considering the intersections, and at least it isn't far.]

Got this reputation for targeting us max strength every chance, even when there're other choices. I mean, I get it, easier that way. But don't talk like it's some misunderstanding or anything.
