Quit that. [ don't you woosh him. ]

[evocationary]

What, you got my whoosh joke but you didn't get the government-assigned one? God, I wonder what your world must be like.

[retellers]

From what I remember? Not great.

[evocationary]

Considering there's weird glowy eye soldiers and mercenaries, you're probably right.

Is this place from home? The, uh - the church.

[retellers]

Should I be offended? [ HE'S the weird glowy eye soldier and mercenary??? but since she's taking a break from swording he puts his at his back, walking over to the flower patch. ] ... Don't know. Haven't remembered it yet. But... pretty sure flowers didn't grow where I was.

[evocationary]

[ she doesn't answer that first part! heehee.

but she does follow him over to the flowers. she crouches down to look at them - can she touch them, are they real? ]

That's grim. [ she says, head tilted. ] Maybe they're symbolic.

[retellers]

[ they're very real! growing in a single patch of sunlight. some very pretty yellow flowers. ] ... I can't remember what, but I think they mean something.

[evocationary]

[ she very gently picks one, and stands up with it, looking it over. ]

I bet they do. Seems like - way too significant, you know? Especially if you don't remember any flowers.

They're pretty.

[retellers]

I don't remember much in general. [ he'll call himself out, it's fine. he looks down at the flowers ] The ex-SOLDIER thing, and... [ ...................... nop stopping there ]

[evocationary]

[ she lifts her eyebrows. a beat, and she takes a step or two closer, and just tucks the flower behind his ear. ]

And?

[retellers]

[ a mistake on her part, because now he just looks Prettier. he frowns lightly ] It's... personal. [ he looks. a little flustered. ]

[evocationary]

[ just according to keikaku ]

Okay. [ she says, amused. ] You don't have to tell me.

[retellers]

[ ... blinks. i'm glad they're probably still close because neither of them moved away after the flower thing ] Surprised you're dropping it that easy.

[evocationary]

[ definitely because she hasn't moved, ha haaaa ]

I get secrets, especially when they're personal. [ she says, shrugging. ] Besides, if I bug you about it, you'll dig your feet in deeper, and then I'll never hear anything.

I'm a bully, but I'm not stupid.

[ at least she admits it... ]

[retellers]

[ mobile life... Also I'm in tears neither will be the first to move away. wolf raises an eyebrow ]

A bully? What are we, twelve?

[evocationary]

[ she tweaks his nose. like they're twelve. ]

What else would you call me?

[retellers]

[ he kind of jerks his head away with The most offended look ] Annoying.

[evocationary]

Yesss. Mission accomplished. [ but - the look she gives him is pretty soft? gross. anyway, she moves away finally to go look at the flowers again. ]

I like this place. [ she offers. ]

[retellers]

[ the soft look just gets a ?, okay. it just gets a ??? ] ... Thanks? It's an abandoned church. Not like I made it up myself.

[evocationary]

Oh my god. It wasn't even a compliment, you awkward nerdlord. [ she says, laughing. ] Do you think you're like, religious?

I assume the other leaders have places just like this.

[retellers]

[ ... his face goes >:T... she's the nerdlord... ] Considering the state of this church? Doubt it. [ he nods, though ] We've all got personal rooms. I don't know what theirs looks like, and I can't get in even if I wanted to.

[evocationary]

And you don't want to, because you hate everybody.

[ she nods, sagely. a beat. ]

Actually - question. Do you want to come stay with me and Taako this upcoming Thursday? During the inevitable murder time.

[retellers]

[ he doesn't even deny it? but. he looks surprised at the invite ] ... It's my week off. I'm castle side.

[evocationary]

Yeah? And? [ a beat. ] You don't have to.

I just thought I'd ask. The, uh. The powerless team leader rule made me wary.

[retellers]

[ there's a pause and then he lifts his sword ] Trust me. I'd be fine.
