O Mater, ego tam fessa sum.

[Good afternoon, Mayfield! Today you'll find Celes doing one of three things

Comments

C

[sting_like_a]

[SUP SISBRO. Miakis is going to saunter up to Celes's porch and sit herself down next to her comfortably. She's smiling, but it looks somewhat... forced, like she's tired.]

Hey you~

Re: C

[lady_general]

[Celes wordlessly hands over her cup of tea so that Miakis can have a sip. Never let it be said she didn't share some of her things.] Good afternoon, Miakis. You're looking... unusual today.

[sting_like_a]

[Such a good girl, Celes. Miakis takes a sip before handing the cup back.] Unusual? Hmmm... I guess that's one way to put it. It's been a long couple of weeks.

[lady_general]

[That is what a brosis is for, Miakis. She turns the cup in her hands and sighs.] So I've noticed. [Celes touches the marks on her neck from Dias's vampire escapade almost a month ago.] It's starting to look a little hopeless, despite all the efforts. Especially if they're just becoming more demented with their attacks on us.

[sting_like_a]

Yeah... I think, after all this time, the town is finally starting to wear me down. [The fact that Miakis is willing to admit this to Celes is a good measure of just how much she likes the other woman. She usually prefers to keep her happy face on and play the role of the morally supportive optimist. It gets old after a while, though.

She shakes her head wearily.] But I'm not about to let them win! I just... I wish we could get a break from all this. Just... a week or two without weird candy or my friends getting droned or my idiot husband getting into trouble. That's all I want~

[lady_general]

That sounds like a rather tall order, Miakis. [have a half-hug, Miakis. Like, Celes's first one, ever.] Perhaps we should stick our troublesome husbands in a closet for a bit. At least it would keep them from running into anything ridiculous.

Or eating bad candy and biting one of us. [Celes is not still annoyed about that at all, whatever do you mean?]

[sting_like_a]

[Miakis will happily return the hug! She's not half-assed about it, though, and she gives Celes a good, tight squeeze. We'll teach you how to properly show affection yet, sisbro.]

I think Ken might give me even more headaches if I locked him in a closet... but at least he didn't eat any candy. That was all me, I'm afraid~ [Groan. The sexy nurse funtimes were kind of humiliating. B| ]

[lady_general]

[Celes pats Miakis's head. It might be the most awkward headpat known to man, really. Though Dias might have her beat there.] Oh, he'd probably just complain a bit. It's nothing.

What happened to you with that candy? I was safe; I don't really enjoy sweets, so I was uninterested in it. Dias, however, apparently has quite the sweet tooth.

[sting_like_a]

[C-Celes why so cute. Miakis is going to ruffle your hair now. Are you prepared for this.]

I really like candy, but if I never see another piece of candy corn ever again, it will be too soon. [FROWN.] The stuff I ate forced me into a stupid outfit and made me very... ah, outgoing~

[lady_general]

[N-no! NOT PREPARED! NOT PREPARED! She flails a bit and almost spills her tea. Boy, that would've been embarrassing.]

Outgoing? You're already quite outgoing, Miakis. I can't imagine you even moreso, honestly.

[sting_like_a]

[It takes all of Miakis's willpower to keep herself from giggling. SO CUTE. How do you put up with her, Celes?]

Well, uh... it was a different kind of outgoing~? It made me really... forward, I guess. [There is the slightest pink tinge to her cheeks. Miakis is not a flirtatious person, unless she's trolling someone. IT'S EMBARRASSING, OKAY.]

[lady_general]

[She questions this herself, Miakis.]

Oh. Oh dear. [Why yes, she does have some sensibilities!] Well, I'm pleased you're yourself again. I'm still glad I didn't eat it. I have nightmares of becoming an opera singer, and you quite honestly do not need me shrieking about the town like some fool. [Not that she didn't enjoy it, but really... she'd just rather be a soldier. No need for all that frippery.]

[sting_like_a]

...Opera singer? [She can't help but laugh a little at that particular mental image.] That'd be an interesting sight~!

[lady_general]

No, it really, really, truly wouldn't be. Trust me, Miakis. [The lady doth protest too much, amirite? Still, Celes takes this time to drink the rest of her tea and try not to look so embarrassed.]

[sting_like_a]

I dunno... I think that's something I'd like to see~

[lady_general]

[What is this face you're making at her. Celes sort of looks like she wants to retreat.] And why in the world would you wish to see me make a fool of myself?
