Spring Break, Cyseal, Friday Evening

[endsthegame]

For once, it was a quiet evening in Cyseal. Nothing terrible happened. Nothing attacked.

Obviously, it was the best possible time for a fireworks show, right?

The mages that had travelled all the way over here to clear the lava field certainly thought so.

"Go ahead and tell me why you're not worth wasting brainpower on," she challenged. "Go ahead. Tell me why I shouldn't give a fuck."

"I think I'm gonna have a nap," Dante muttered, taking another swig. "Right here."

You could walk off an argument with Kathy, too, right?

Walk off? Maybe. Walk away from? Well...

"Good. Maybe when you wake up, you won't say such stupid fucking things." That was helpful, Kathy, good call. "Not worth worrying over my ass."

Dante put the bottle back down next to him and... ... yeah, he was curling into his coat. Sleepy.

"Y'gotta stop taking things so personally," he mumbled, half-inaudible.

"And you've gotta start realizing you're more than just what you think you are." Her voice was still angry, cadence stilted. But there was a hand creeping into his hair, lightly running nails over his scalp in small, soothing circles. "You should also drink some water or you'll have a bitch of a hangover tomorrow."

"Eh," Dante said. "That means gettin' up."

Her hand was nice; he overcompensated by overfocusing on it and completely losing track of his general position in the world otherwise.

And she couldn't get up to get him some without stopping what she was doing. So, oh well, enjoy your hangover tomorrow, Dante.

"Dammit, Dante," she said quietly, more to herself even than to him. Her nails glided over his temples, down to the bottom of his skull, then back up to his brow. "You need to take care of yourself. Give some thought to those of us you're going to leave behind. We're not ready to bury you yet."

Re: Cyseal - Docks - FIREWORKS

"Nobody's buryin' anybody," Dante muttered, squinting up at her and getting disoriented almost immediately. "Cheer up, Kat, 's fireworks."

Re: Cyseal - Docks - FIREWORKS

Only because they'd be lucky if the demons left anything to bury.

"You're hopeless," she told him, shooting for withering but ending up somewhere around fondly exasperated instead. "Close your eyes and I'll tell you what fireworks I see, okay?"

"Mhm," Dante sighed, shutting his eyes.

Congratulations, Kathy. You were now quite possibly the only person alive who knew how much booze it took to floor a Nephilim.

Truly, she would write of this wonderful discovery in her diary.

"Night, Dante," she murmured, resolving to worry about how to lug him back to his room in a few hours. That could be future!Kathy's problem. Right now, she had fireworks to describe. "So now there's one that's ice blue," she narrated. "It looks like a flower that takes up half the sky..."
