a part of him feels like he should be concerned by this? undead are usually ... violent, enemies and prone to attacking, but. well. this isn't home and lup isn't that so he just, gives her a look up and down. ]
You look delightful for someone with great experience in dying and coming back to life.
... Seriously though, how did you even pull that off? A lich...?
[ he's leaning in regardless to start on her eye makeup. the conversation might be serious, but he's here to make a hot lady look hotter, and he's going to excel at it. ]
[i'm tired of embedding icons so just imagine her face is there]
Aw, thanks babe. No, uh, it's... it's a process. Magic. You take your soul, and you separate it from your body. It takes a lot of raw magic power to do and it can send you over the edge if you don't do it right.
But I did do it right, because I'm a really powerful wizard when I'm not here.
This place continues to screw everyone over, I see.
[ he's dabbing something around the marks surrounding her eyes, focusing on that as much as what she's saying. ]
And... what that makes you functionally immortal? You said it's a process you've gone through a number of times, the whole dying and coming back to life thing but... how does that work, do you just have to reunite with your body each time?
Yeah, it's... like, uh, possessing my body. It has to be living, it's - a whole thing, it's too complicated to explain. Magic. But I died that last time and I got stuck without a body, so - now I'm here.
[ he's going for something like this, mostly enhancing what's already there. ]
...
[ and then he reaches out and pinches her cheek. ]
You don't feel like you don't have a body, Lup. In fact, I'd say you've always felt like you've had a body? [ he. is probably qualified to say that at this point. he knows this body. ]
also that makes her burst into giggles.] That - okay, yes, I have one right now. I didn't before I got here. But this is all real. It's what I look like usually, just uh -- well. Sort... sort of.
[her ears twitch back, sadly.] I used to look a lot like Taako.
Yeah. One time, uh - one time we were at a tavern, and this guy would not lay off on Taako, so he was like, "Okay, we can go on a date, and I'll know it's a bad idea if me from the future runs in and slaps me," and I kicked the door open, slapped him, and ran away.

Well... you're twins aren't you? There's usually a similarity there.
no subject
[sensitive about the way she looks, but not for the reasons you'd think.]
no subject
I wouldn't say you're impossible to tell apart, but I have known you a few weeks now.
[ eyeshadow finished, he's gonna do some gold liner. black would just blend in too much. ]
no subject
[she pauses.] I don't know. I like looking like him.
no subject
Did you ever do those tricks where you pretended to be each other to confuse people?
no subject
Yeah. One time, uh - one time we were at a tavern, and this guy would not lay off on Taako, so he was like, "Okay, we can go on a date, and I'll know it's a bad idea if me from the future runs in and slaps me," and I kicked the door open, slapped him, and ran away.
The look on that guy's face. Hah! Incredible.

You must miss him.

Desperately. [softer:] He's my whole heart.
no subject
Is... that what you're here for? Trying to get back to him?
[ there's a pause and then: ]
Don't answer if you're going to get backlash for it.
no subject
Sort of. [that's the best she can do.]

Oh - wow. Wow, that looks incredible, babe, you're good at this.
