[no, the bottle is hers. but she will pour a glass for her.

(if she doesn't take it, she'll drink it herself.)]

This probably won't help much, but it's at least making me feel a little better.

[femmefinale]

Pray don't drink too much that you'll be unable to function in the morning.

[ Though she says it with a trace of a smile, taking the glass to drink from. ]

I had half-expected something like this to happen, but I had hoped it would not.

[shiftingwinds]

...looking back on it, the signs were there.

[she just

really wanted to be wrong.]

[femmefinale]

[ And who can blame her-- ]

I agree. But that it still hurts you just means that you were kind enough to believe otherwise. I wouldn't call that a bad thing.

[shiftingwinds]

[she's definitely old enough to know better, is the thing.

anyway, she sighs.]

...that's kind of you to say, Miss Primrose.

[femmefinale]

I am not kind, Shi Qingxuan. [ when is she ever going to get good at saying her name-- ]

Merely honest, when I can be.

[shiftingwinds]

[she'll get better with practice! my goal is now for shi qingxuan to die right after she gets it exactly right.]

...still, you didn't have to be. [anyway. she takes another drink.] Not thinking about it won't do any good, since it happened whether I think about it or not. But it freaks me out to think about it, so...

[compromise! she's drinking so she's less freaked out.]

This helps.

[femmefinale]

Then would you prefer I leave you to it?

[ Not everyone wants company, after all. ]

[shiftingwinds]

...I'd prefer not to be alone.

[she tries to smile]

But I know I'm not good company right now. You don't have to stay.

[femmefinale]

... [ She takes a sip from her glass. ]

I should hope I'm not fickle enough to stay only when I think the company has something of value to offer.

[shiftingwinds]

[that actually brings a smile to her face - one that reaches her eyes.]

Thank you.

[femmefinale]

[ Primrose raises her glass in a toast, a softer smile curving her lips. ]

Think nothing of it. Shall we indulge in idle gossip for the time being, to allow your mind to breathe a bit?

[shiftingwinds]

[sqx already liked primrose, but she just shot way up in her book. she's the best.]

...that would be nice.

[femmefinale]

Then, tell me... has anyone caught your interest?

[shiftingwinds]

Honestly, most of you are interesting.

[that's not what she means]

[femmefinale]

I meant in a more... romantic way.

[shiftingwinds]

Oh!

[oh. hm. romance, huh? shi qingxuan laughs.]

I don't know that I've known anyone here long enough for that, but I must admit, the majority of us are very attractive.

[femmefinale]

I would have to admit the same. I suppose that's meant to encourage us to indulge more.

[shiftingwinds]

Oh, it most likely is. It's easier to be comfortable around someone who's easy on the eyes.

[femmefinale]

Mm, yes... that's what makes people dangerous, at times.

[ The ones who are just too pretty. ]

[shiftingwinds]

Hmmm... I guess you're right. Sometimes beauty can be dangerous.

[femmefinale]

I do wonder... who will end up poisonous here.

[ Buncha dangerous hotties. ]

[shiftingwinds]

That's a good question...

[whoever killed tamaki aPPARENTLY. AAAAAAAA.]
