It's a dessert snack, after all! Makes the teeth cringe.

[chevaliered]

Yeah, that's a pretty accurate description of it. How many of these things do people usually eat?

[momming]

It depends on the person. Usually I can only manage one.

[ Because yeah. They're sweet. ]

[chevaliered]

Yeah, I'm thinking that might be my limit too. I guess I underestimated these things.

[momming]

[ She has to laugh. ]

Maybe you're just more of the savory type?

[chevaliered]

Or an all things in moderation kind of guy?

[momming]

Oh? Nothing you could always eat more?

[chevaliered]

Well, between sweet and savoury, I mean. But I’d never say no to a fish burger, even if I’m normally the one making it.

[momming]

A fish burger...

... Goodness, that sounds delicious!

[chevaliered]

Right?

[ united by FOOD as things should be ]

It’s my speciality. My hometown was on the sea, so we had a ton of good seafood to mess around with in the kitchen.

[momming]

... Well, now I'm a little sad we're not by an ocean.

[chevaliered]

Yeah, I don't think the moat's gonna cough up the kind of produce I'd prefer to use.

[momming]

... No, I imagine it would be best to not even consider it.

[chevaliered]

People have been catching stuff in it though. Worryingly.

Week 0, post-execution

[ Well. They make it to the dorm. Otome has gone from "kind of leaning" to "practically sagging", though she's at least still moving her legs to get them inside.

She definitely underestimated rib pain. ]

[chevaliered]

Probably a good thing no one offered to carry you, huh?

[ don't think he can't see she's in real discomfort here. ] Ribs?

[momming]

[ of course he can't, all is well. ]

... Mm. I'm going to have to tape them.

[chevaliered]

You don't want to ice them first?

[ crow, talking like someone who has broken a rib or two in his time. ]

... Then again, maybe we should avoid cold for a bit.

[momming]

[ With a very wry smile, and still very pale. ]

I think for now, let's forego the ice. I can deal with some discomfort.

[chevaliered]

If you have something for pain in that bag of yours, alongside the tape, we might be able to help with that.

[ hopefully it's warm in the summer dorm. he'd be nosier but uh. their doctor got the shit kicked out of her, so. priorities. ]

[momming]

[ Thanks, Crow. It's definitely warm, with beach-y decor. ]

I should have painkillers, yes. I'd prefer to use them for the people who need it most, but one or two should be fine.

[chevaliered]

[ he just


LOOKS AT HER?? ]

Otome, your ribs are at best cracked, at worst broken. I think you count as someone who needs them most right now. [ take the DRUGS. ]

[momming]

[ she just--

LOOKS BACK. CALMLY. ]

Two are fine for now. If... this continues, I don't know how much worse people will get hurt.

[chevaliered]

[ this face. ]

If this continues, we'll adjust. We have vouchers. Right here and now, you have busted ribs.

[momming]

... Goodness, I didn't think you'd be the one to fuss between the both of us.

[ He has a point, though. Which is why she doesn't protest. ]
