Your secret's safe with me. [yuri's a good dad.]

...it's a long story and I have some idea, but not enough proof of it! It could also just be as simple as Sloth figured out how to summon it themselves.

[aubins]

And then suffered for their actions, apparently.

[ he's stirring the chocolate on the heat again. it looks much more like actual hot chocolate now. ]

[probe]

Yup. You'd think it'd be a lesson, but I don't think it's one that's gonna stick.

[aubins]

Are you telling me Sloth is literally a ... [ what was the word? ] meth-head, now?

[ lust... ]

[probe]

I really, really hope not. But I don't know enough about drugs to say.

[aubins]

Me neither, or not about this at least. I wasn't really aware of what the opium den was when it first showed up either.

[ he's going to get two mugs down ready to pour out the drinks. ]

[probe]

Don't tell me you've spent time in there since. [teasing...but she's watching him work.]

[aubins]

Oh yeah, I love a little recreational use of drugs I've never heard of before, you know me.

[ pff. ]

I remember Luca saying it was pretty dangerous, so I've avoided it. I don't really want it messing with my head.

[probe]

I mean....[but she's laughing so at least it's lightening the mood.]

Luca's right though. But then again he usually is.

[aubins]

[ he tilts his head to look at her. ]

Sometimes. Unless his hair's involved, in which case I think he just goes into dramatics.

[probe]

It's kinda cute though isn't it?

[please stop making fun of luca he's not even here.]

[aubins]

[ gently bullies from across the raveyard line ]

A little. It looked like a mess after we went to the "beach", but he didn't actually seem to mind then.

[probe]

Probably because he was with you. You tend to forget that kind of thing when you're with people you like a lot.
