baebladie | .:Week 4 Curfew:.

[ For some reason, Blade is here. He has a drink with him or something, and is wafflowering...but he is here. ]

Hey, Bladie!

[ He's here!! ]

You got my text?

...I did.

[ He turns to look right back at her, expression the way it usually is. ]

It isn't exactly one of the most conventional places to be.

Don't look at me, I just go wherever the crowd goes. And now you can, too!

[ Taking a sip at his drink. ]

I suppose I can. Though, I can't promise to give much to it in turn.

That's fiiine, it's usually my job to drag people out anyway.

'Course, I can't ever force you, but always happy to have you around! And now you're not stuck somewhere all alone like a loser.

[ ... ]

Hmph.

There is nothing wrong with being alone.

[ That said, there is a pause. ]

You're also correct you can't force me. I came here of my own volition at the offer; fortunately, the gathering doesn't seem too unreasonably loud.

There's a little wrong with being alone on a mystery murder night.

I can't promise you that every time, but I'll take it!

A little wrong...like what?

[ Blade doesn't subscribe to the thoughts of the majority. ]

Oh! Hello again!

[She has come to perceive his drink. What's in there?]

[ He doesn't give traditional greetings, so he just looks at her, and nods in acknowledgement.

But, if she wants to scope out his drink, she will find it's something pale-colored. ]

...Did you want something?

Did you sneak alcohol in here?

[ He takes more than a few gulps instead of some sips, so he can finish it a bit faster. Though, he takes pause to answer. ]

I did. Why?

[She purses her lips.]

Well. There's not any more of it, is there?

[ There's a slight, crooked smile. The container isn't empty. ]

There's still some remaining, if you want to dare sample it from someone you barely even know.

[Hmm.]

And what if I did?

[She holds out her hand expectantly.]

[ Staring at her, bewildered...why are people here so...different? Gets him surprised all the time. ]

...Then you can have some.

[ Passing the container along to her, sure. It's just some fancy-tasting alcohol if she gives a try of it. ]

[ he'll give him a short but cordial wave! also he looks pretty surprised to see blade here :O ]

[ Blade will look over at Diluc, and give a nod to acknowledge the wave. ]

...You look like you wish to say something.

[ he smiles a little though i have literally no smiling icons. ]

I just don't often see you in the company of so many others.

[ ...mini-events aside! ]

[ I can see Diluc's heartfelt smile from here, it's fine (no) ]

You wouldn't be wrong. Normally...it is not my preference to be as much either.

However...

[ He trails off, but then comes back to it. ]

I suppose, I thought...it might not be too bothersome this week. As for you, you seem to have acclimated just fine to these gatherings, haven't you?

[ he huffs a little, and shakes his head. ]

I've never been a stranger to crowds.

...At any rate, it's good to see you here.

[ like a cat that needs to be socialized... hehe ]

...I can understand that, considering your background. But, perhaps this type of crowd is a lot less troublesome, hm?

[ A little smirk at that.

As for the other matter...he blinks, and the expression remains as is. ]

I can't recall the last time someone has dared to uttered such words and not regret it. [ He is stretching his mewie little paws. ] But, you will find that it goes both ways. Such words should be reciprocated, after all.

Mhm. I'm far more fond of the company here.

[ his fwends...

also sorry he snorts a little, trying not to laugh. ]

Do you see everything as a challenge, Blade...? I appreciate the returned sentiment, though.

...Hm.

[ Blade doesn't know most of the people here, but they don't really seem so bad from surface-level impressions. He will save deeper evaluations for if he has the chance to learn more.

As for the laughter, Blade seems to hardly mind. Maybe because he in turn is amused. ]

Good. Though, if I say that I do see everything as a challenge, would you be surprised?
