Ruru! I finished the little project you asked me to work on. Did you want to see it over smoothies at The Nest?

[ His treat, naturally. ]

What about Rufy?

What! I'd never.

But if I really wanted to get more favours out of you I'd tell you that I ran out of material and needed more Β°Λ–βœ§β—(⁰▿⁰)β—œβœ§Λ–Β° Since that isn't the case, have you considered that I maybe just want to get smoothies with you just because?

Well, I'm afraid that unless we come up with another nickname for you it's going to be one of those two.

...Do you not have friends at home?

[ Winkity wonk. ]

I love a good nickname. Would that make us friends if you come up with one for me?

[ Get back here you stupid tall, handsome man - ]

If writing the word "friend" is difficult for you, you could just say so you know.

[ She's been bitchy and annoying enough to him (and others) over text to know when there's a tonal shift. It's the main reason she doesn't continue to be a brat now. ]

I'm just trying to understand you.

I've seen people who interact and surround themselves with other people but that doesn't mean that they have friends. Not having people you can count on like that seems lonely to me.


[ In a place like this where sex isn't necessarily synonymous with feelings, platonic or not, doesn't sit right with her. The next message comes after a beat of silence. ]

I guess I don't want that for you.

[ What is her deal with befriending calculating, somewhat paranoid men? She's cursed.

It's hard for her to believe that people, Rufus included, would just be fine with not having friends. But she'll let him have it for now. ]


So if you didn't have friends what did you have?

[ SHE CAN SMELL THEM A MILE AWAY. ]

A dog.

You think all of those things and a dog are fulfilling enough that you don’t need other things in your life?


[ She’s not trying to be judgey but… ]

You never tried to make friends though?

Or is this a, "I'm so powerful and influential that everyone who offered me friendship probably has an ulterior motive," situation.

That's hard to say without knowing what your world is like, don't you think?

You're right. It is. So it's really rude to leave my invitation to smoothies at the Nest unanswered. Maybe you can tell me more about where you've come from, I can deliver your commission to you, and maybe we can both weigh in on the fate of our friendship.

Great! Don't be late and look cute. I'm not friends with people that aren't cute.

[ Rufus there isn't even any sunshine in the Nest. Why do you need sunglasses?

That aside, she does think that they complete the look. Sometimes you need a little accessory to tie everything together. Case in point, the bow tied around her ponytail that quite literally is tying the athleisurewear look she's chosen together. In a pink tennis skirt and white cropped jacket, she looks like she's just finished a tennis match or practice.

(In reality it's neither. She's just making use the things she's scrimped and saved for - and the closets that she's been allowed to borrow from.)

While he doesn't wave, she does, immediately perking up at the sight of him as she waits just outside the Nest for him. ]


Special? I didn't realize we were starting the nickname trial early, Ruru.

[ IF YOU HAVE TO SAY IT LIKE THAT, CHANCES ARE YOU AREN'T VERY COOL, RUFUS.Β 

Just because she's basically a peasant by rank, she's not about to let that dictate how she dresses - even with a limited number of chips at her disposal. And as if she would be seen walking around in the equivalent of gas station clothes. Even if came to that, she probably would have found some way to get a hold of some scissors and thread and make it look somewhat more presentable before wearing them off the rack.

Listen, he can be a rich bastard if it means he buys her a smoothie. But that will not stop her from pouting at the straightforwardness before holding out a little pink gift bag stuffed with tissue paper and tied with - you guessed it - a white bow. ]


Obviously. Did you really think that I'd forget?Β Even if I had, it's not like we'd have to go very far to get it from my room.
