[ it's only flirty if you're a cute girl, wrath. we'll see.
she gives her usual, polite nod when she sees them. ]
You seem comfortable. [ again, she has to bite down the urge to tell them that their posture sucks. ] Have you enjoyed witnessing our sordid secrets this week?
You're right, I'm a damn cute delight. [they say, turning their head to look up at her.] Quit trying to flatter me to get answers out of me. Like, it's working, but stop doing it.
[ she used to be a lord, she's used to buttering people up. but also, she doesn't mind wrath. they don't seem... callous, necessarily—not after beau's death. ]
But yes, I was wondering if you could tell me what that Bridge area is for. I saw out the window of it, but... perhaps you know more about what's out there than I could make of it.

I am, yes. [they say lazily, glancing over at her.] And uh, no, actually! You guys are all very sad! It bums me the fuck out.
no subject
[ why else would they want enough to be here? it's just sad jerks and sociopaths here. ]
From what little you've told me of yourself, even your past does not sound all too happy.
no subject
It's not all sad honking and sob stories with me. I've had a pretty good life.
no subject
[ she probably doesn't have a lot of thinly veiled trauma or anything ]
So I was wondering if I could chance entertaining you with some questions again, if I agreed to something in return.
no subject
[they groan, sprawling out on the table.]
Sure, sure. Ask whatever.
no subject
The two are not mutually exclusive, you know. I think your reactions sometimes can be quite cute. [ when they aren't trying to set her on fire ]

I don't know what's out there. But if you saw out the window I'm sure you have a pretty good guess?
