[ ... he gets closer to her rather than continuing to hold the thermos out and just. gently sets it in her lap. or in front of her. whatever. i'm too tired to think about locations ]
'Course ya are. [ he gives her a lopsided sort of smile. ] Just wanted to give ya a heads up that I'm gonna try patrollin' tonight before curfew hits, so don't go throwin' shit at any animals ya see wanderin' around.
I get the choice of one animal a week, so last week, I was locked into the crab form. I'm really startin' to think the "second animal power" theory is true...
This week I'm tryin' out a raven. Flyin' sounds a hell of a lot more fun than walkin' everywhere.
Huh.... yeah, there has to be at this point. But which one would it even be...? It'd have to be a Purple Heart or a Winter Wizard power, right? And one of the ones I don't know...
[who the fuck are they trying to track down.]
But alright - I'll keep an eye out for you. Where will you land when you're done?
I'm gonna be goin' back and forth for most of the night, just so people don't get suspicious 'bout me goin' missing later. You'll see me around camp like normal.
[ blinks ]
Oh, speakin' of powers and stuff. Are ya still on an infosharing ban, or am I gonna be left to wonder what the hell yours is for the rest of the game?
Mm, alright.... I wonder how this'll affect you in the morning, though.
[MAJIMA YOUR CURFEW EFFECT,,]
Oh - but I think I have one to spare this week... Purple Heart - technically we're on the same team now - Draw the Line. I can cast one illusion for one person each week.
It was originally my plan to use it in order to conceal myself in case I was attacked - having a power that can disorient my enemy was my only hope for survival for a while.
...yeah, okay, that's fair. [ a smart idea too... ] Guess I should feel lucky mine's lenient with usage...
[ he pauses again, then, ]
Hah. Didn't get to say it any other time during the week—[ lmao infodumping ]—but sorry for puttin' the pressure on ya last week to speak up for me without outin' me. Figure I owe ya somethin' more than just an extra-big serving of tea.
Well, yeah, if yer a decent person. But I also ain't the kinda guy to let a favor go without givin' back, ya know? Even if ya don't take it, the offer's there.
Not necessarily. I've talked through all my problems - so I think I'm doing well?
Of course in a stressful situation like this and in general people are going to feel things for others that aren't going to work out... but it's more awkward if you don't say anything, right?
... Remember that thing I said earlier, 'bout how talkin' to you is refreshin'? That's because ya get to the point, no bullshit. Other people, though...
( week 5 ) thursday
How are ya doin'?

loves a giant thermos full of tea. her eyes light up just a bit when it gets offered to her and she holds her arms out - too quickly and she winces.
and pretends like she didn't.]
Fine.

I haven't used it even once.
no subject
[ HE'S HAD IT SO MANY TIMES AND EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE JUST LOOK THE OTHER WAY AT THIS POINT IT'S ACTUALLY KIND OF ANNOYING... but, huh, ]
Not even the week where it was one of the tasks?

I couldn't risk it for a task.

... oh.
[ . . . . ]
No.
You exhaust me, but I would never allow anything to unfairly happen to you.
Isn't that a given?
no subject
[ kinda comes with the whole honor deal... ]
no subject
I don't ask you for favors, I just tell you what I need done.
[AT LEAST
SHE'S HONEST]
... but I'll keep that in mind.
no subject
Honest question, has anyone ever told ya how refreshing talkin' to you is?
no subject
I just don't have time for secrets and lies - so you can imagine how much I hated this week's set of tasks.
no subject
Yer not the only one. Pretty much the only secret I'm keepin' at this point is my power, and even then...
no subject
[does that count.]
So did you disclose your power? Or do you wanna make up a secret to tell me?
no subject
[ he snickers a bit... but then he goes back to frowning. but like, this time in thought. ]
Uh... I told one new person this week? So that's gotta count...
no subject
[THE HONESTY,,]
Oh - yeah, that should count.
no subject
What sorta stuff do you consider juicy?
