Caritas, Monday

[1000yearstoolate]

After getting stuck in a place without tea, Seivarden had spent the rest of the week at home with plenty of tea, a cat, and entertainments. She had almost run our of cat food though, and it had ended up being a bit boring.

Which was a good reason to teach herself another drink, wasn't it?

Tonight's Special
Mojito

It was actually quite nice. She had to remember it.

Tino was quiet, and Seivarden would have been happy to just let him be, if it wasn't for the fact that he kept trying to juggle ice cubes.

"Aatr's tits, will you fucking stop that!"

Tino just looked at her, still quiet.

Caritas is open and OCD free!

"Well, hey, now," said Amaya, as she made it into the bar that week and grinned sideways at the specials board while taking her seat, "look at that! Not a beer!"

She was going to mention it pretty much every time now, Seivarden. You only did this to yourself.

[1000yearstoolate]

"Does that mean you'll try one?" Seivarden said, ignoring the teasing and sounding cheerful.

[special_rabbit]

"Of course I will!" As if it was that difficult to get Amaya to try anything booze related in the first place. "This is clearly a special occasion; it'd be an insult and a shame not to!"

[1000yearstoolate]

"I am actually trying to learn new drinks," Seivarden said, not sounding too defensive, as she began to make the mojito. "So, how have you been?"

[special_rabbit]

"Well," said Amaya, with a sigh that matched the casualness that went into the words, as she gave her head a disappointing kind of shake, "other than me and the shop winding up in a hole for a good chunk of time and that whole business with the slumber party this weekend," she really hoped she did't have to elaborate on why that whole business with the slumber party this weekend was a concern, "I'd say just swell. I've been up to my eyeballs in repairing weapons."

This was not even remotely a bad thing.

"Still haven't decided what to do about the giant shuriken in the middle of the shop floor, though," she added, with a thoughtfulness that seemed to invite perspective on the matter. "I'm starting to feel that the fact that it doesn't exactly seem to want to budge is a good indication that it should just stay there.

"How 'bout yourself?" she then asked. "Good trip back home?"

[1000yearstoolate]

"Good trip," Seivarden said, not going into detail. Amaya wasn't the right person for that. "I missed the hole. And the slumber party."

She placed the drink in front of Amaya.

"The shuriken?"

[special_rabbit]

Amaya hummed a confirmation...and a thanks...with her nod, reaching for the drink as she extrapolated. "You know the one," she said. "The big one. The centerpiece of the whole weapons wall. You can't miss it."

You know, the one that she absolutely did not have any sort of ridiculous emotional attachment to, at all, why would you even.....

"Anyway," she continued, "fell off the wall when the shop fell into the hole, got itself stuck straight in the floor! It's a dramatic statement, to be sure, but it kind of interrupts the flow of the workstation, if you know what I mean. But it's in there but good."

Too bad she didn't have a good, strong apprentice on hand to--

Amaya cleared her throat, emptied about half her glass.

"Working on an upgrade for the Crumbler that might help," she said, "if I decide to move it at all."

[1000yearstoolate]

"Oh, that one," Seivarden said. "Let me know if you need any help."

She didn't have much else to do, and she wasn't aware who Amaya had just been thinking about.

[special_rabbit]

"Well," said Amaya, looking thoughtful but for the eager way the corner of her mouth turned up into a grin, "I don't know if it would be much of a help or a hindrance, but...Don't suppose you brought home with you any of those fancy guns to spare, did you?"

[1000yearstoolate]

"No faith in my abilities?" Seivarden said. "I did bring a gun, although I meant to keep it for myself."

She was aware that if Amaya was stubborn enough she would probably end up giving it to her.

[special_rabbit]

Well, Amaya had said 'to spare,' so she was just going to take a moment to look a little disappointed at the lack of consideration to share the shiny gun wealth before asking, "Want me to at least materia-boost it for you?"

[1000yearstoolate]

"Will I get it back?"

Seivarden grinned.

"I did take some photos of Mercy of Kalr though."

While making fun of the silly piece of technology called a phone to Ekalu.

[special_rabbit]

"Of course you'll get it back," Amaya informed her, with a scoff that, by the grin, was clearly not offended.

She couldn't guarantee exactly when, but she would!

"And good pictures? Guts and everything? Or just some more basic shots?"

She would clearly be pleased with either.

[1000yearstoolate]

"From one of the shuttles," Seivarden said. "An as close as I can get to the engine."

She handed her phone over to Amaya.
