night 18

[maege]

[hahaha yeah so about all that murdering

the deed is done though and Mae kind of—half-staggers at the gymnasium, clutching her side, thinking maybe she ought to do something about that wound there but the nurse's office is so far away? and she could just go to bed? and bleed out there??? it would be nice.

surely, she figures, it's safe to take her time in the halls. what would anyone else be doing around here this time of night am i right???? (spoilers)]

[you know. you know??? it's too late and she did ask and she has that now and you know, ain't no taking that back so she's gonna make the most of it]

...Well, given the circumstances, I'll take it!

Fortunately for you, though, I am a moron, so I'm gonna stay undeterred from the actual trusting you part of all this.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[snorts out a breath, that is honestly the best way that could've gone and he is not gonna push it]

...Do you sleep?

[maege]

...Are you asking me that question because the answer has been "no" before?

[she sleeps until like noon on the regular and misses every investigation and she sounds straight up offended by the prospect of the answer being no, ever]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

I'm neither your guardian nor your doctor, sorry if I haven't been keeping track of your bedtime habits. I meant, I don't mean to keep you up just because I don't.

[maege]

Oh. What, like, at all? How do you live? —Anyway yeah I sleep, at least in theory.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

I live perfectly well, thank you. Sleeping is an inefficient waste of time.

[bloodloss-buzzed or no, he looks tired as fuck tho]

...Anyway, don't feel like you have to stay up on my account.

[maege]

Yeeeaaahhh that's one of the fakest things I've heard since I got here. I can take a hint, though! If you want some peace and quiet I absolutely can provide.

[pushing herself out of the chair is proving difficult but less so than last time anyway]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

No,

[then he scowls to himself, since if there's anything he doesn't need right now it's honesty, time to rein that shit right back in]

...I mean, I'll walk you back, at least.

[he says, not moving]

[maege]

Oh, is that what that means?

[look, she can take a hint, and so she gives up mid-motion and sits right back down. he can get moving whenever, she's got nowhere to be!! also sitting is nice]

How gentlemanly of you.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Just because I'm generally not polite doesn't mean I don't know how it works.

[maege]

I just figured you knew but constantly decide it's not worth the trouble.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Exactly. It's not.

But that doesn't mean it's safe to go out alone. If something were too happen now, it'd be a waste of bandages.

[maege]

Aw, you were doing so well for a second there, but I have to take back the gentleman comment now. It's gone.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Good. I do have a reputation to maintain.

[maege]

Don't worry, you're doing great. No impressions that you're anything but a big dumb jerk all the time made over here, no sir.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

I am a very intelligent jerk, decisions of the past few days notwithstanding.
