@11thriptide [ practically throwing herself in his arms—. squeezinggg. ]
oh, thank god you're back. i couldn't handle this place any longer without you, really.
@hydrotides don't worry your pretty head, i didn't tell anyone a thing. i just needed to make sure you weren't scheming anything we should worry about. those were your tsaritsa's orders. [ he scrunches up his nose. ]
@hydrotides tea and pretty things make a woman happy. fetch me some fancy jewelry in your next trip and i might even raise your funds. it's not like i can leave this forsaken place often.
