Amberite in the bar.
Eating eggs benedict. With roast tomato.
Breakfast IS the first meal of the day, after all. And he didn't bother with that or lunch, so...
But my, doesn't he look cheerful. Come say hello?

She sounded semi-excited and that was something. Despite the lack of shoes and the fancy dress and the depressed look she had been wearing earlier.

"Good to see you, Aeryn. It's been too long."
no subject
"How have you been?" Her voice was even, but inside she was leaping with joy.
no subject
He pulls back, and guides her to a bar stool.
"We need to get you something to eat. Share my Benedict?"
no subject
"I have no idea what it is, but gladly. I've had a hellish day."
no subject
He settles onto the seat next to her, and orders another plate, and another set of cutlery. He cuts off half the food and slides it over to her.
"What went wrong?"
no subject
"I slapped him."
no subject
"As a man, if my partner slapped me, it'd tell me I was being an idiot. So long as you truly believe he deserved it, then I wouldn't shed any tears over it. What did you slap him for?"
He takes a bite of the egg.
no subject
The hands holding the cutlery had begun to shake slightly and she quickly used the implements to disguise it.
"He was always shutting me out. Sometimes I wonder if he just wanted to bed me and be done with it."
She shook her head, sighing loudly.
"But that's just the bitter part of me that says that. He didn't really deserve it, he's been going through a rough time."
And now you've lost him.

"And here I thought it was later than that."
no subject
He shrugs.
"And thus ignorable. It passes silently, and I give it none of my attention- for which it returns the favor."
He's feeling philosophical. Can you tell?

He grins, and stands.
"Shall we? Out by the lake is best."
no subject
He sighs.
"Is there anything I need?"
no subject
He smirks and sets off at a fast clip, not checking over his shoulder to see if he follows.
no subject
He rolls his eyes and follows.
This is ridiculous.

Random only slows when he reaches the edge of the forrest, before turning to face Parnasse.
"So... what's the longest knife blade you've ever used?"

"Random, it is driving me crazy!"
no subject
A cough.
A fine patina of orange juice covering the counter.
"...'lo Gorlim. What's up?"
no subject
Yes, this is a Very Important Question.
no subject
He grins, and shakes his head.
"No. There was enough gravity that I simply laid on the bed."
no subject
He sits there looking pleased with the answer, but as it gradually loses its shiny new-information-having quality, he defaults to fidgeting.
"Did you ever... uh... Right, so..."
Quandary!
"Then how did you ever sleep with anyone??"
no subject
He shrugs.
"It wasn't like that, when I was there."
no subject
He sighs.
"I'm going to regret saying this, probably within the next ten minutes, but life is boring when nobody's trying to kill you. Wanna get drunk?"
no subject
"Sorry, Gorlim. But my blood doesn't let me. It just... doesn't work."
A small smile.
"Not good for you, anyways. How about we share french fries instead?"
