week 0, tuesday

[disingenuous]

[ roxana is standing outside those curtains of the baggage claim, peering through into the hallway.

she looks behind her whenever she senses someone. ]

Have you taken a look?

[peripheries]

[so different. a terrible boy.

Anyway, he shakes his head.]

I tried to crawl in after I arrived when I was looking for Lady but something prevented me from entering.

[disingenuous]

Lady?

[ she has not learned the cat's name yet. not as of this tag, anyway. ]

It looks like it may be open now, if you want to try again.

[peripheries]

[OH WELL. HE GETS TO EXPLAIN AND HE'S QUITE EXCITED.]

Lady Nyanders Qui'skers of Waterdeep. She's a cat and my best friend. A wonderful creature like I've never known before.

[He's so excited he almost forgets about the opening. Composing himself, he crouches down and crawls through.]

[disingenuous]

You're quite fond of her, and that's quite the name. Did you help name her?

[ she watches him go through but doesn't follow quite yet. ]

What do you see?

[peripheries]

I named her "Nyanders" then Anders added the other stuff.

[No... he hijacked the cat and other people wanted tease Anders so there they are. He peers further.]

Nothing now. Just a dark hallway. Though perhaps its that way to tempt us.

[disingenuous]

It's quite the distinguished name.

[ it is like all the dog names that are registered to the akc, not that roxana would know about this. ]

Are you worried there will be a trap?

week 0, saturday

[disingenuous]

[ kaworu can find roxana on the floor in the gate area. she's leaned over with her hand covering her mouth. ]

[peripheries]

[gonna stand back but he doesn't say anything. He's had his fair share of being sick after these things ]

[disingenuous]

[ sweet kaworu.

roxana rises to her feet slowly after wiping her mouth with a napkin that she neatly folds. her lipstick is a little smeared as she turns to look for a trashcan. ]

Hello, Kaworu. How are you doing after all that?

[ as if she hadn't been on the floor five seconds ago. ]

[peripheries]

You're the one who looks like you just got done puking up breakfast.

[disingenuous]

[ she'd be more amused if boothill didn't just say some things. ]

Why don't you answer my question?

[peripheries]

It's usually a question people start with if they want an opening to ask another one.

[disingenuous]

That is how conversations usually go.

[peripheries]

[Ugh.]

Tired. There, I answered.

[disingenuous]

If it's a chore to answer, you can leave at any time.

[ she won't stop him. ]

[peripheries]

[He's just an ornery teen and he feels a little bad about that.]

It's not. I just don't always trust people's questions at first.

...Are you actually okay?

[disingenuous]

You don't have to trust anyone or anything right away.

[ she'll agree with that much. ]

I am. You needn't worry.

week 1, sunday

[disingenuous]

[ she will come to check in on kaworu. how is he doing? did he get healed at all? ]

Did it make you feel better?

[peripheries]

[He got healed and he's just kind of... hobbling back to his lounge. He stares at her for a few seconds, debating if he might lie and then he shrugs.]

No.

[disingenuous]

As expected. What will you do now?

[peripheries]

Dunno.

Just stuck with it, I guess.

[disingenuous]

... You should likely rest first. Have you sent him a message yet?

[peripheries]

If I send him a message like this, I'll only worry him. I have to be collected and unconcerning.

[disingenuous]

If you care about him and he cares about you, it shouldn't matter what state you're in.

[ a beat. ]

It's too late for you to be either of those.

[ everyone here has already seen him be the opposite of collected and unconcerning. ]

[peripheries]

...I just don't want him to be stuck there worrying.

[And yeah. He can't argue that. So he just... presses the palms of his hands into his eyeballs and sighs.]

Or anyone else.

[disingenuous]

You'll just have to give him a reason to worry less. Like making it back to your lounge sooner.
