[ what a cute new outfit. roxana has also chnaged into something a little more modern than her usual.
she smiles and inclines her head. ]
Thank you. Shouldn't I take what I can while I can?
[ she'll roll with the joke, a hint of teasing in her own voice. she takes in the dual interior design with some interest but heads towards the table. ]
Did you split your aesthetics instead of trying to compromise?
Of course? It's just a missed opportunity if you don't go for it.
[why not! it's what wiš'adel would do, after all.
the bowls on the table appear to have some sort of light seafood soup, along with a serving dish and a couple of plates-- the roasted potato dish there is more for wiš'adel, but it doesn't look very heavy. easy on the oil and seasoning, with some spices on the side to add to either dish as needed.]
And yeah, that's more or less what happened. Nobody was going to be able to talk Rosie out of her aesthetic dreams, soooo we just blended it.
Exactly. I wasn't the only one objecting to the entire place looking fluffy, buuut the boys were being babies about actually saying something out loud... I don't think it was really Manwol's style, either. So I took over a few additions.
[it's compromise of a sort, isn't it? and they all live with it just fine, rosamund still got her cottagecore.
she takes a seat of her own.]
Most people don't think cooking seems like my thing! No idea why. It's just a different kind of assembly-- set everything up right, introduce the right ingredients to the reaction, but instead of an explosion you get a good broil going.
Oh, you know, a little of both? I've got my own name now and everything, we already took our home back from that so-called Regent of ours... the politics are going to be a real pain in the ass, but I guess I'll figure that part out.
[ some of that tracks with what little she knows of wis'adel. ]
Did you take over your country? I could see you doing the bombing to take it over, but you're willing to go to all the peace talks and political negotiations after?
It wasn't really-- like that. Dragging the Sarkaz into new wars, promising 'em more of it, that was the bastard's whole problem. Everyone hates us, better go kill them about it and surprise, surprise, they really do still hate us now!
[she rolls her eyes. see, this is why caring about history is so pointless.]
Stupid. It's always about getting back at them over moldy-ass history, they can't ever let that shit go.
I'd say so, but I don't know that I'd call it a trade...
That's what I'm doing, though, yeah. Got us pulled out of that war with an agreement to let his forces retreat safely-- how many people here do you think would say I'm making shit up?
[ i know you must be drowning in post cyoa pcs right now and if you're not busy tomorrow i'll grab you for one too roxana would just let people recover first.... so please don't be dead......
roxana is going to get up and sit on the leather couch. if there is a pillow with a floral pattern, she'll pick it up to hold. ]

[ you miss all the shots you don't take so why not take. she takes a seat at the table. ]
I didn't take you for the cooking sort, but this all looks well done. Well put together.
[ she points to the cottagecore decorations. ] That's Rosamund. [ she points to the black and red accents. ] That's you.

[ or how much some of them don't care enough about lounge aesthetics.
roxana tries the soup. ]
When you frame it like that, it falls into place. It's an extension of your skills. Nicely done.
no subject
[does she mean easier to bully? well, in some cases, yes. she absolutely does.
the soup is pretty good! wiš'adel isn't a great chef, this isn't oh-my-god amazing, but she knows what she's doing in a kitchen.]
And it is, more or less. Plus, if I didn't learn, I'd have been stuck with the others' cooking... not that it was inedible or anything.
no subject
[ or even right now. ]
But you'd prefer it more to your own tastes. You strike me as the type to know what you want.

[she tastes her own bowl, hums, and picks up a shaker of chili powder to add a little in.]
I'm not immune to getting lost for a little bit, nobody is.

I don't know you well enough to say how unbelievable it is, but you do come off a certain way. Most would have to ask again to be sure.
no subject
[especially when you're like her. she knows that.]
no subject
Well-played.

Kinda like how people don't question you on things if you're crazy enough. Some people here really give me a run for my money there, though!

Most of us can't hold up a candle to him.
