9th Dusting

[Video]

[The camera begins opening on her naval area. She has on a loose top despite it's finally getting warm enough for her to reasonably do so - as such, her middrift is exposed. And with it is exposed something she got this time last month. It's a very deliberate showing (and a message about being willing to talk she hope she doesn't have to say outright), and she then jerks it back up to her face. As usually, she has about four earrings in and the nose stud, but her wings are exposed due to a lack of coat. The silver clip on her left wing and the tattoo she has on that same shoulder are thus both plainly visible.

And her expression... well she's trying to make it less hard than it maybe tends to be. Still, given her subject matter, it's still severe]

Four rutting kidnappings on this book in the last three days. Anyone spot that? Had to. [exhale]

Need some carrier pigeons. [Maybe she should request that if/when she gets a new mission. Yes, definitely should.]

...Everyone new, I'm Melaka Fray. Slayer- call me if you needed someone to punch things.

[Okay, so she's restless. Sue her. Azusa isn't here and she swore she heard a vamp on there too a while back. she's eager to fight something right now] ...Got any other recs, I'll hear those too. [That's more for friends or. Whoever.] For stuff doing, I mean.

[makeitquick]

...What.

[she did think it was weird they were still there but.]

[accepted]

...I said I left food for you, in the fridge. I was just doing what Azusa wanted me to.

[Did she not hear him or something.]

[makeitquick]

She- [...Melaka pauses. Wow. she really did that] -Wow.

[accepted]

[Wow? ...They're just sandwiches.]

Weren't you expecting any food this week because she left?

[makeitquick]

That's not- [...Ugh.] Azu's way too 'siderate. Y'don't nee to do that.

[accepted]

She's just being nice and looking out for you, if anything she seems happy to be helping out like she does. [...] It's fine, just make sure you eat them before they spoil.

[makeitquick]

...Thanks?

[HOW IS SHE SUPPOSED TO FEEL SHE HAS TOO MANY FEELS HIS VOICE BETRAYS THIS SOB]

[accepted]

No problem...? [Why was that thanks posed as a question anyway. What do.] ...They're just sandwiches anyway. No trouble.

[makeitquick]

Yeah, guess not...

[Azusa...] Thanks though. It's. Nice.

[accepted]

You should tell Azusa that when she comes home, she'd be really happy to know you think it's nice. [...] Maybe make her sandwiches in return for once, say thanks that way.

[makeitquick]

Azu makes 'nough for herself and me. Leaves 'em out for the floor.

[accepted]

Oh, well I guess there's nothing you can do... Unless you tell her you'll make the sandwiches next time. Or don't tell her and surprise her with them, even better!

[makeitquick]

...Not sure that's me.

[A beat] That'd be spin.

[accepted]

That's what would make it a surprise... Huh, wait, a what?

[makeitquick]

I'm a Lowers.

[accepted]

...Does that mean you're really short or low down or something?

[makeitquick]

Means I'm from the Lowers. Warrens, spec'd. Low down in the D. Bottom floor.

[accepted]

Right... And what does living underground on the bottom floor or whatever have to do with you not being able to leave sandwiches for Azusa? [ ':| ]

[makeitquick]

...Cus I'm not domestic.

[accepted]

But it doesn't take much effort to slice some bread and put some lettuce and meat between it. It's easy!

[makeitquick]

Jesu, you nag- I'll 'sider it.

[accepted]

Hey I'm not nagging, it's true sandwiches don't take long to make that's all! [Huff.]

[makeitquick]

Alright. So I won't thank you 'cus it isn't any effort for you?

[accepted]

[--Urk!] You should still thank me! It's what you're meant to do when someone does something for you, even small stuff!

[makeitquick]

[ . . . ]

Thanks.
