Demon Marcus, Sunday
Okay, so, it was time for the Valentine's display to come down, and...
Sparkle frowned at the window display thoughtfully. He didn't want to start putting, like, Easter or St. Patrick's Day stuff out yet. One was still too far away and the other one was just kind of overdone to the point of being tacky. He could do a display of, like, gear for outdoor winter activities? But it had been warm and rainy the last few days, he wasn't so sure he'd be selling a wealth of ski pants right now regardless.
He could... uh...
Hm.
Well, this was a dilemma.
Sale, Today Only!
Coordinate an outfit for a mannequin in the window today,
Get that same outfit for yourself, 1/2 off!
The answer? Let someone else do it.

He smiled a little at Breq as she stepped into the shop.
"Hey there," he greeted. "How goes it?"
no subject
"Good."
Better get this over with. "I wanted to thank you for the flower."
no subject
Even if Breq was going to drive him to a conniption fit before the end of the semester, he was sure of it.
no subject
She supposed she did. It was kind of Sparkle.
no subject
But really, Sparkle was both not into his students and super gay. That flower was a very platonic flower.
no subject
"I understand. None of the flowers I got were an expression of romantic love." That was a relief.
Her gaze shifted towards Sparkle's hands. Painting nails wasn't a fashion among Radchaai for obvious reasons, but she had seen it on other planets. That was a colour she hadn't seen used before though.
no subject
"I can only speak for me," he replied, "but if you think the other ones you got weren't romantic either, then, hey."
He held his hand up, inspecting his nails, and then he lowered it to touch them up further.

"I would be lying if I said they weren't, uh," he went silent for a second, groping for words. "Distressing? Kind of distressing."
no subject
Still no expression on her face. Breq wasn't sure which one would be suitable.
no subject
"If I tapped out on a conversation every time somebody said something that made me uncomfortable, I would, like, never talk," he noted. "I guess I just.... find it a little overwhelming? I guess? Just how casually you talk about some things."

"Well, basically any time we start a casual conversation about how to kill people by the dozen," he offered. "That's usually a little, uh, much."
no subject
She could probably avoid the subject.

"Where are all of those conversations coming from? You don't just talk about someone who read about it or anything," he said, carefully. "You talk like someone who's seen it."
And who had seen it a lot.
no subject
She added: "I'm older than I look."
no subject
"Like... a lot older?"
Because there was a lot of experience in those conversations, and while Sparkle didn't doubt that the Radchaai were super fucked up, he wasn't so certain someone who was maybe, like, twenty or twenty-two instead of seventeen or eighteen would have been in the middle of a lot of that, either.
no subject
"I'm not human," she said. "I'm a ship. Th last remaining human fragment of the Radchaai troop carrier Justice of Toren. The rest of me was destroyed."
