Okay, good.

[The hallways are quiet, a few 'do not disturb' placards on the knobs, and they arrive at room 109!

She makes a show of grabbing a key from a skirt that's way too tight to have any pockets, it mostly just appears. Waving it is easy, then green light comes on and she opens it slightly.]

Gladion ...

[hairrowing]

Hmmm?

[he's turned to leave, but he raises a brow at her, half twisted to look at her]

btw I just adore these two and cannot get enough of them jsyk

[gunslingerqueen]

[... Actually, everything she wanted to say feels kind of silly, so let's just go with:]

I'll see you later! And thank you, for everything.

[Maybe one day there'll be a chance to return the favor.]

OMG me too!! i just love them so so much

[hairrowing]

[smiling, he nods and gives her a wave before he takes off down the hall]

i'm so glad!!!! gna keep this going if that's cool but if you prefer memes i'm down w/e works!

[gunslingerqueen]

[Inside, she keeps her promises. Tea, a gathering of pillows, and then sleep.

For a while, maybe a day, maybe a little longer, there is nothing from her end of things, until:]

i've been thinking about what you said and i need to steal someone's kitchen to test something

yesyes this is absolutely great

[hairrowing]

well...i know one you can borrow if you don't mind a bunch of punks watching. and wanting a taste

\0/

[gunslingerqueen]

i don't mind an audience, as long as you're up for trying it, too! Just tell me where to be :3

[hairrowing]

hmm...we can try it, see if they behave.

[he does attach directions to -- an abandoned town???]

[gunslingerqueen]

behave?
oh i'll be there in a bit gotta go to the store

totally unrelated question what's your favorite thing to eat

[Why is it an abandoned town? You know what. Never mind. He can take care of himself, and when he can't, she's available.]

[hairrowing]

they will, don't worry.

mine? uh. potato salad......dont laugh

[gunslingerqueen]

no no i’m still confused on what you’re even worried about them doing??

also. excuse me.




pick an entree

[Why do you hate flavor, Gladion. Maybe this explains meeting in the Denny’s.]

[hairrowing]

just being annoying


uh
chicken?

[gunslingerqueen]

all men i'm not dating are annoying that is a given which means i'm used to dealing with them

chicken! i can work with chicken, thank you!

[Please hold while shopping completes~]

[hairrowing]

they'll be annoying in different ways than that, i'm guessing.

okay...good luck

[gunslingerqueen]

it'll be fiiiiiiine

:3

[Some not particularly unreasonable amount of time later she arrives at ... This shady ass town!]

one of these days we are going to talk about the people you hang out with

[hairrowing]

[he believes her.........kind of]

only out of necessity. did they bother you?

[gunslingerqueen]

i just feel like i need to know the necessity so that i can solve it bc what in the world. also i'm lost please come get me ):

idk some guy asked me about pokemon and kept following me so i punched him

[hairrowing]

alright i'll be there in a minute

good. he sounds like he deserves to be punched.

[gunslingerqueen]

hurryhurry i can't waaaaiiittt!

oh and he absolutely did but i was a little worried it might be someone you cared about

[In the meantime, Nariko waits with surprising patience! She's donning her usual expensive as hell outfit, scrolling on her phone with one hand, the other held onto a personal grocery cart stuffed to the limit.]

[hairrowing]

[he sees her before she sees him, attention intent on her phone, and some Team Skull goons skulking around until they see him. after that, they scatter. but he does answer first:]

i don't care about anyone here

[and then, aloud:]

You've been busy.

[gunslingerqueen]

that’s not true you care about me!!!

[A surprise for later, maybe. The present is made for her big, excited grin.]

I’m always busy!

[A small pose goes here, one arm sweeping dramatically to show off her groceries as if they were priceless artifacts.]

Show me the kitchen before everything spoils!

[hairrowing]

[he will not see it until she cannot see his face when he does spot it

he'll lift his hand in a wave before he joins her side]

Don't think it'll spoil in this rain, but alright. C'mon.

[the surrounding Goons get a glare as he leads her along]

[gunslingerqueen]

It's the principle of the matter!

[Really, she's just in a hurry, sparkling with even more anticipation than usual, which might be a personal accomplishment.

That glare doesn't go unnoticed and to think she'd help herself is foolish:]

Oh~! Are you being all protective?!

[hairrowing]

[hopefully her hurrying distracts her from how run down this place looks-- graffiti everywhere, trash scattered-- if he can't have the glare being overlooked, let him have something

a huff]

I know you can handle yourself.

[gunslingerqueen]

[if he ends up kidnapped after she finds a proper apartment it definitely won't have anything to do with what she absolutely doesn't notice!]

Yep. Now, the real question is can you handle the amazing meal I'm about to make!
