week 7; saturday ( stephanie )

[belph is a bit difficult to find, tonight—namely because he's in the last place steph might think to look for him.

...

which is to say that he stands in the observatory, watching the constellations play out. it might be a lie to call him peaceful, but if nothing else, he looks contemplative.]

[axilium]

I'll be broke now. Sorry.

[though he seriously does not mind no longer being rich.]

[vigilantics]

I'm going to be a sugar mama...

[ no ]

[axilium]

... You're the one who said it, not me.

[vigilantics]

There aren't any other witnesses here, so I could say it was you.

[axilium]

It sounds more like you than me.

[vigilantics]

You've said some weird things.

[ belph has brought up kinks more than she has. ]

[axilium]

I plead the fifth.

[vigilantics]

Overruled.

[ that's

not how that works. ]

[axilium]

That's not how that works.

[vigilantics]

Well, we're still here and there's no real court of law in Hotel Murderfornia.

[ she pauses. would he get that reference... ]

[axilium]

[...

no.]

[vigilantics]

I hate timelines!

[ NONE OF HER JOKES LAND. you're either too far in the future or past or from some fantasy land!!!!!!! ]

It was funny. I promise you.

[axilium]

I'll take your word for it, then.

[vigilantics]

Our entire relationship is you humoring me, isn't it?

[axilium]

Absolutely.

[vigilantics]

And not much else?

[axilium]

I suppose I might be coming with you for a few other reasons.

[vigilantics]

My amazing personality and fun jokes?

[axilium]

One of those things is debatable, but...

[vigilantics]

[ she immediately reaches over to smooooosh his cheeks together again between her hands. ]

... aw. This is going to be the last time I do this in this castle.

[ is that really what you wanna get nostalgic about ]
