(1407) 3/4ths of VT

"Doesn't your room ever feel all confined, though? Like, don't you ever just need to move elsewhere, even if your head is just going to be stuck in a book," Avis asked, peering skeptically at Asp while they walked over to chill in one of the arcades. The toothpick migrated over to the other side of her mouth by the time they reached the far wall, and then she sunk down onto the ground, her back pressed up against the marble wall.

"And Santa is totally creepy. Not boxing Santa, but, like, the fake Santa. Seriously. Reverse burglary isn't a good excuse to steal your food." That was about the only thing that was worse than confinement, in her opinion. Someone coming uninvited into the space that you called home.

  Keep wondering :P

Welp!

Honestly? He didn't know why he bothered trying anymore. It was past the point of a one-off to where it was A Thing, and he wasn't sure if it annoyed him or not. Which was annoying in itself. Because annoying.

"Oh, really?" he asked Asp. "I mean, I guess? I kinda meant, you know, when you both stayed here..."

Totally legit question. Him? He'd been tearing the seats out of the ground in his room. It was a testament to the sound proofing of the rooms that no one had noticed. There'd been plenty of noise. Not the seats. Him. Dropping seats on his feet. Banging at something and missing. This. That. The other.

He followed Avis. Pondered the situation. Maybe for a second too long? Then made a decision, and sank down next to the drab Warlock.

"Lots of that stuff is super creepy."

His All Time Creepy award? Tooth Fairy. Sympathy's a thing, yo. Who was indoctrinating people into casting off body parts?

"But, ummm. I know you said said speculating didn't help? But I just had this thought. Like, the Hierarch," he glanced at Asp, because she'd totally skipped that whole title thing, "He said we were going on the offensive."

He shrugged.

"That's cool, and it's not like we're all, like, you know, not in danger. But if Zoey gets made a Herald, that's, like, going to put a huge target on her back. Sentinels, too. I'm just saying, we should think about that. Be more careful. Armors. Sights. It's gonna get real. We shouldn't, uh, wait for something to happen first. Like, expect retaliation."

A hand drifted slightly, brushing a smaller, pale one beside him for just a moment before plucking at his khakis to straighten them out from sitting.

"We should also start training together, then. Or at least talking about how we like to go about stuff, ya know? Or how we'd imagine we'd go about stuff, I guess," Avis added. "And I'm pretty much doing the same thing, Asp. I gotta update pretty soon though."

He got ready to say something, but then his phone buzzed.

"Oh, snap, come on!"

Already, there were voices, making words. Brilliant. He climbed to his feet and offered Avis a hand.

Call this side thread a wrap and someone else post us into the main? Avis Asp
