The Perk, Saturday Afternoon
Coffee. Sparkle had a class on the mainland later this week, had to throw together revisions that his instructor had given him on his 'Big Bad Wolf' costume design by Wednesday, and was going to have a long night ahead of himself if he wanted to get the first draft of his pattern done up so that he could start sewing before the weekend was through.
Which, of course, was why he was at the Perk. Procrastinating. A lot. In one hand he had the biggest possible cup of the sweetest, most syrupy garbage they would serve him. In the other hand, a pencil, which was just sort of hovering over a sketch of someone in clothing meant to be evocative of oppressive wolfishness, ragged and military both at the same time. Now his teacher wanted him to add a little more actual wolf.
"I don't want to design an actual furry," he was muttering, tapping his pencil to his paper. "There's gotta be a better way."
There was not enough coffee in the world. And really, there probably weren't enough distractions in the world, either.

She spotted Sparkle while waiting for her drink and debated not coming over (related to that second specific reason), but when she heard him, she couldn’t resist asking, “A furry?”
no subject
That probably either cleared up very little, or at the very least raised a few more questions. He glanced up at the one who had asked the question, and then blinked and tilted his head.
"Sia, right?"
It had been a while.

"Homework," he admitted. "I'm taking a costume design course on the mainland, and I'm trying to get a wolf look without just straight-up dressing somebody up like a wolf. I'm getting tempted to slap some fluffy ears and a tail on there and call it good enough."
Only he actually cared about his grades in this class, for once. It was one of the few things he'd done for himself, and he was weirdly terrified of screwing it up.

He was pretty sure half the people in his class had gone that route, after all. Most of them probably hadn't also been on a stage before, either.
"So... what brings you around?"

"Yeah, makes sense," he replied. "Sounded like things got pretty intense for you the past few months. It's, uh, calmed down now?"
He was a little sparse on the details, but figured that was probably none of his business, anyway.

He shrugged. Vaguely. But there was a faintly knowing look in his expression and the slightest twitch of a smile on his lips.
"Stuff."
no subject
"What stuff?" she asked.
no subject
Fortunately, he was willing to give her a little slack, here.
"He didn't go into, like, details or anything? I was having a shitty day, the conversation went off on a tangent, you know? So, uh, I don't actually know if I should be offering you a high-five or being all weirdly protective of a guy who can clearly take care of himself right now."
no subject
"I would hold off on any of that," Sia said slowly. She'd been over here trying to figure out how to approach him when she assumed he wouldn't want to see her. "What did he say?"

The barista gave her one look (a very unimpressed one) and prepared the tea just as Seivarden liked it and placed it in front of her without saying a word.
"Thank you?" Seivarden frowned, but picked up the tea and turned to look for a table.

no subject
The barista could probably hear her.
"Oh! I have been meaning to talk to you."
Since Sparkle had said she could. Seivarden still didn't trust him not to throw a fit over something unexpectedly.
no subject
Which was more often than some people did, granted.
"Oh, yeah?" He sipped at his drink. "Something on your mind?"
no subject
She was being careful today.

"There's a holiday coming up soon and people keep ordering flower arrangements for it, in very specific colours. I think I need to know what it's about."
no subject
That wasn't until April.
no subject
Her flower arrangements were getting better, luckily.
no subject
"I think it started as a feast day for a saint? Like, some kind of really pious religious figure? But it went all commercial, so now it's really just a day for people to get chocolates and flowers for the people they love. Expect your flower orders to get way busier before they go away. Valentine's isn't until the fourteenth of February."
no subject
A holiday for giving things to people you love didn't sound that fun when there were no such people around, and Seivarden decided to change the subject. She was looking very hard for one.
