⠀⠀⠀( SHIVERS : EASY - SUCCESS )
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( you know a place , you've *always* known a place . what was that about wanting more buns ? )
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( fatty . )
⠀
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( she can feel the one sided tension die down . that uneasy expression slowly fades away . she's happy to not stress over the embers of a topic . )
⠀
⠀⠀yes , that was the last one for today .
⠀
⠀⠀have you any place in mind ?
⠀
-
⠀⠀
⠀⠀Forgiven .
⠀⠀Again , last prescript , correct ?
⠀⠀How about we have dinner , I’m hungry .
⠀⠀( Who else would lead the remaining conversation time but Persephone ? Even if she was quite the poor conversationalist . )
⠀
-
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( she doesn't know what else to say , what else is there *to* say ? what else is appropriate to say ? )
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( COMPOSURE - MEDIUM : FAILURE )
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( she looks uneasy . )
⠀
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( DRAMA - GODLY : SUCCESS )
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( come on . don't let her call you out like that . )
⠀
⠀⠀sorry . i have sensitive eyes ..
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( she turns her head back , opening her eyes to look at the other . )

⠀⠀You should look at the person you're speaking to when you voice a personal thought , Myria .
⠀⠀( Her gaze was never broken , despite the eerie silence . Easier for Persephone more than anything . )
⠀⠀However , I won't cut your eyelids for that transgression .
⠀-
-
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( her fingers resume their idle nervousness . she'd seen the thumb's brutality first and secondhand . somehow , it's comforting to hear she won't be punished . )
⠀
⠀⠀i will .. your words don't fall upon deaf ears .
⠀

-
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( even with her eyes closed , she shifts her head to the side , avoiding eye contact . )
⠀
⠀⠀i .. suppose i can say the same .
⠀
⠀⠀i will extend the same courtesy to you as well .
⠀
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( the concept of enjoying another's company had never crossed her mind . )
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( always on her feet , always another prescript to deliver , always some obstacle in her way . the city felt as if it watched over her , that was all the company she needed . )
⠀
-
⠀⠀
⠀⠀( . . . In part , it was because Persephone had remembered her from old . She was never close , their departments were quite distant , but it had meaning enough . )
⠀⠀( The other part . . . )
⠀⠀You don’t need reasons to like someones company .

⠀
⠀⠀( she remained silent , unsure of what to say . )
⠀
⠀⠀( her steady eyes darted around the room for a moment , before slowly shutting in that same penitent gaze . )
⠀
⠀⠀so it's out of your own will .
⠀
⠀⠀i see ..
⠀
-
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( she stares at the other for a moment , gloved fingers idly wrestling with each other in her lap . )
⠀
⠀⠀so why haven't you taken mine already ?
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( her fingers settle into place . )
⠀

⠀⠀
⠀⠀( . . . )
⠀⠀( 💭 she's never becoming a proxy . )
⠀⠀You need not , I don't worry about the unnecessary .
⠀⠀Though , mind that your head will be a red decal for any other Capo , should you get a message .
⠀⠀( tilting her head , amused a little . )

⠀
⠀⠀⠀( she gets up and adjusts her blade so that she may properly sit down . )
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( thoroughly embarrassed . )
⠀
⠀⠀godfuckingdamnit
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( she takes a seat , looking up to the other . )
⠀
⠀⠀the city has is interested in you , i can't say much more .
⠀
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( REACTION SPEED - HEROIC : FAILURE )
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( she falls backwards onto the chair , her sheathed blade hitting both armrests as she does so , preventing her from sitting fully . )
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( after a single rotation , she falls to the floor . )
⠀

⠀⠀
⠀⠀Good .
⠀⠀( Throwing her in that custom made leather chair , swinging around only one full rotation ..
⠀⠀ before landing with her two legs , neatly cross , leaned against the corner of her desk . )
⠀⠀You know , it’s rather surprising .
