[befittingvenus]

[ sitting outside Migard at night with a blanket around her shoulders, twirling a lock of hair around her fingers. ]

One would think we'd be out of here by now...

[ looks forlornly down at the empty bottle at her feet ]

...I'm going to need a job.

[ sigh ]

[justlikesilver]

Rangiku? With a job~?

[sup, just out and about bein' my sneaky self]

[befittingvenus]

[ shoulders freeze, but she doesn't turn around ]

Stranger things have happened.

[justlikesilver]

How true!

[walks up]

[befittingvenus]

[ glances over her shoulder ]

Don't you have somewhere else to be?

[justlikesilver]

Not really.

[sits!]

[befittingvenus]

I'm sorry, that seat is taken.

[justlikesilver]

Is it? Well, I'll keep it warm till whoever it belongs ta shows up~

[befittingvenus]

[ takes a swig from the bottle to stop her from saying something maybe a little too mean ]

How kind of you.

[justlikesilver]

Aw, well, ya know me. Always thinkin' o' others~

[ah, sarcasm]

[befittingvenus]

[ looooooooooong pause ]

Do you want something?

[justlikesilver]

Well... sure.

[befittingvenus]

Well?

[justlikesilver]

What, ya care?

[befittingvenus]

Just spill it, Gin.

[justlikesilver]

[uses his fingers to count as he lists]

I can't find a single persimmon, let alone a seed, anywhere in this place, m'sick of bein' cold at night, but I can't get ahold of anymore blankets - an' I think Izuru's gonna actually slice me next time I try ta take his - I got two weeks of ration tickets an' don' want a single thing on 'em, an' my shirt's startin' ta smell since I ain't got soap ta wash it with. So, yeah, there's plenty I want.

[tilts his head over towards her, grinning]

[befittingvenus]

[ stares at him like he's grown another head ]

...

[ sighs, knowing he knows that's not what she meant, but... ]

Well, I can't help you there.

[ turns her attention back to the drink ]
