The heads up was appreciated.
Stop dropping me crumbs if you're not going to give me the sandwich yourself.

[ For the first time in a while, he's frustrated that he can't just psychometry the story out for faster drama progression.

...He can also hear Malkuth's voice echoing 'cheater' over his own thoughts. ]

One thing.
I'd like to hear about the City sometime—from your perspective.
If you need to be plied, I can treat you to food.

[wheft]

Wow, someone who's actually interested in the hellhole we live in.

Fine, but only because there's food involved. [ the sinners sure have big stomachs... ] I'll let you know when I'm free.

[seafloor]

I'm interested in a lot of things.

Oh, and tell me a dish you like.
This is important.

[wheft]

Uh... Seafood?

[ idk what you expect from a sailor, dude ]

[seafloor]

[ Oh no, we're gonna get specific. 😤 ]

...I suppose that's a start.

[ Not five seconds later— ]

Dry dishes or wet dishes?
Spicy or mild?
Between fish, shellfish, and crustaceans, which is your favorite?

[ So much for one more thing... ]

[wheft]

[ jeez........ ]

I have no preference otherwise. Just... surprise me, okay?

[seafloor]

[ Listen okay there's just a little bit of overlap between Kaito and Malkuth when it comes to cooking— ]

Oh.
Right.

My bad, I get a little worked up thinking about food.
Any allergies?

[wheft]

None that I know of.

Why so particular about all this?

[seafloor]

I used to be a chef.
I'm a little anal when it comes to details.
Bit of a perfectionist.

[wheft]

Oh. Makes sense.

Still, I'm really not too picky with anything. After eating nothing but shitty canned food at sea for practically half my life, anything else would be more than enough for me.

[seafloor]

Lived on the waves for half your life, huh?

I could have had a life like that, but it was taken away from me.
Used to have a real complicated relationship with open water.

[wheft]

You and me both.

[ the ocean... it's all she's ever known. but that's a traumatic backstory for next time. ]

Is that all?

[seafloor]

Maybe. I don't know.
I could send you messages for the rest of the morning.

Kidding.
Get some sleep, Ishmael.
Thanks for entertaining my texts.

[wheft]

[ GROAN

but at least he's finally letting her go now. ]

NP 👍
