week 1; saturday ( stephanie )

[axilium]

[well, that was a ride. honestly, it's been kind of overwhelming, so belph's doing what he does best, which is emotional repression!]

... Just our luck that our target ended up being a murderer this week, huh?

[it's a little awkward.]

Comments

[vigilantics]

He's not my boss. I am an adult and can have a drink if I want to.

[axilium]

He doesn't have to be your boss to be concerned about you.

[vigilantics]

[ every time someone mentions hikage being concerned for her, steph wonders if she is missing something obvious. ]

... I can't really change how I act that easily just for someone else.

[axilium]

[he drinks some more.]

Touchy subject?

[vigilantics]

[ she shrugs. ]

I've just been told I am very bad at listening to people and that, sometimes, it causes issues.

[axilium]

... If it's any consolation, I don't dislike that part of you.

[vigilantics]

[ she just quietly grabs her drink and takes a long sip from it at that. ]

Thanks. [ it's a little embarrassing how happy something like that made her. she's not used to hearing it. ] You haven't seen me at my most annoying yet.

[axilium]

Heh. You can't be more annoying than I am.

[vigilantics]

Everyone here is just too distracted by my charming personality and tendency of getting injured to notice my obnoxiousness yet. But just wait!

[axilium]

[drinks some more!]

I get the feeling I'll be waiting for a long time.

[vigilantics]

We'll see.

[ it's supposed to be a joke, but she also just. immediately drinks after saying it. ]

[axilium]

Hmm.

[more drinking!]

[vigilantics]

I'm glad we ended up together.

[axilium]

[CHOKES ON HIS DRINK BECAUSE WHAT THE FUCK.]

[vigilantics]

You okay there?

[ she's clearly amused. ]

[axilium]

[cough cough]

... Give a guy some warning before you say something like that, would ya?

[vigilantics]

[ she'll take another drink. ]

Well, I am. I think we make a good team.

[axilium]

[belph immediately drinks to cover up feelings.]

Well, you're not wrong. You're so active that I can count on you to make up for my laziness.

[vigilantics]

[ hmmmm. ]

Is that all my good points?

[axilium]

Are you fishing for compliments here?

[vigilantics]

[ she bats her eyelashes. ]

[axilium]

[sips at his drink.]

You're kind of cute, I guess?

[sorry steph]

[vigilantics]

Kind of? You guess?

[ belph!!!! ]

[axilium]

[he just sips at his drink some more.]

[vigilantics]

Call me cute properly, nerd.
