[The screen shows the dim glow of a darkened room, half-candlelit. The Forge isn't on Asellus at all, though some people might recognize her room or her sword, and possibly the occasional flash of green hair as she reaches for a bottle of wine and uncorks it. There's silence while she drinks, before she puts down the wine bottle. Keen eyes'll catch ( Read more... )

[The last several days has had him teetering between hoboing around, and heading into that weird sort of middle ground where his own brand of trouble starts to border on just-less-than-harmless. Perhaps it's a defense-mechanism, who knew?]

[And so, have a Tyki with curly hair ruffled around his face, but missing the hobo-glasses that usually hide his eyes - they're a very odd shade of brown - peering into the forge with a sort of lazy interest. He may or may not be chilling somewhere familiar - the spare parlor?]

Kinda makes you think no one has a sense of family anymore, don't it?

[If he's in the parlor, it's a miracle she got in mostly undetected; getting home was such a priority after everything calmed down that she hadn't bothered even trying to stay quiet. Even so, even as strained as she is, she smiles-- it's a mask, something she keeps up even though she's too tired to sleep and too riled to rest, but she's prone to those even at full power.]

Family... [She can't talk about that; she hasn't got any. But it does make sense.] I guess that's a part of it. I mean, it's not like the woman didn't deserve it, but... [But glass coffins are a personal hang-up. She takes a long swig from the bottle.]

[On the contrary, she didn't get in mostly undetected; Tyki just blatantly ignored it. It's easy to do when you've lived a life on the road. He does, however, see completely through that mask - not really for what it is, so much as for what purpose it serves. It's kind of a unanimous thing to be able to see these things when half of your life is spent behind a mask of your own.]

[It's a silent acknowledgment.]

Gonna share that?

[She pauses mid-swig and puts the bottle down slowly, considering... But she can't honestly think of a reason to not do so, and she can think of a few in his favor-- namely the things she's got planned the next morning.]

Probably shouldn't drink it all myself, should I?

By all means, it's yours. I'd hate to steal it all from ya. [Buuuuuut. It's booze. He likes booze. And she's a pretty lady. He likes those too.] But if you think you'll get more enjoyment outta drinkin' with some company, I'd be willing to offer you a hand.

[A raised eyebrow and she actually picks up the Forge and converses like a normal person.] I don't think you'd be able to steal it all, seeing as I've already taken possession of a quarter of it. [Her grin turns a little ironic.]

Do you think you can figure out how to get here? [Yes, she's aware he's right down the hall. It's not a serious question.]

Details. [And he matches her grin with one of his own.]

Dunno, seems pretty far to me~ [Playing along.]

Well, if you can make it, I'm sure I can spare some of this.

Just don't go passing out in my bed if it's too much. I don't have the energy to try to drag you out.

Gonna take a lot more than that to make me pass out, I assure ya.

[But he turns the Forge off, and there's the quiet sound of rummaging as he makes himself known - wouldn't want to scare her by sneaking up on her. That's just poor form, in white mode.]

[She's sitting on her windowsill, in a position that looks almost haphazard-- like if she sneezed, or leaned too far, she'd fall right out. She wouldn't, of course; nevermind that she's got far too much grace for it, but she's got one leg planted on the floor inside and the other knee drawn up to lean on. The bottle's hanging in her hand, fist around the neck of it, and she turns to look at the door, waiting patiently. She's not drunk-- as he said, it would take a great deal to do that, but there's a pleasant buzz in her head and she's in better straits than she'd been before going out to buy the bottle.]

Just come in. Don't bother knocking. [She calls it lazily, not really in the mood for formalities. She suspects it might have been a superfluous thing to say, though.]

Heh, wasn't even plannin' to, Sweetheart.

[Haven't even been here a week and already he's resorted to names. The honest to god truth is that Tyki never does names - names are only for when he's serious. And, let's face it, he hasn't been serious about a damn thing since winding up in this curious town.]

[He's a hobo anyway - though, thankfully, showered and in fresh clothes now - which means that formalities mean jack squat.]

[Tyki flops down on the end of her bed and props his chin on his hand.]

You look like something's eatin' at you.

Do I?

[A flash of amusement, and she hands the bottle over the three or four steps' distance to her bed.]

I guess that's about right. Have you been watching the networks?

Not at all.

[And he stretches to meet her halfway, taking a swig of whatever's inside before holding the bottle out so as to get a better idea of what he's drinking.]

Lucky man. I sort of suspected that might be the case. [She turns her face back to the outside world for a moment, thinking.]

I guess what the whole mess boils down to is that personal experiences are kind of clashing with the ethics of the whole situation. There's nothing to be done for it, of course, so there's no point fussing too much. But it's a little strange, finding myself at odds with people like this. [She turns back to watch him glance the bottle over.]

It's not very good wine. A little less 'alcoholic' than 'rotting grapes'. But it was a native seller, so that's not all that bad. Anyway, I guess I'm being a little maudlin about the whole deal. [A sidewise grin, and she decides to test him in one of her thousands of unintelligible ways.] Par for my age, I suppose.

Hai, as far as I'm concerned, a lot of it doesn't involve me. Best to stay out of everyone else's politics.

[Or, really, he's just been watching how everyone else reacts. Who knows his true motives.]

... it ain't half-bad. I've had better, but it ain't half-bad. [Sideways look.] C'mon, you're really not gonna pull that on me, yeah?

Probably the best policy, really. I wish it were so easy as it seems. Anyway, the wine. It'll do its job. [She makes a grasping motion at the bottle as her look shifts to playful innocence at its best. It's not a hard leap to go making, if he's figured out she's not the age she seems. And it speaks well of his mind, which she was already pretty well impressed by.

Otherwise, she'd never have offered the parlor.]

Pull what? I've no idea what you're implying.
