Nothing where they've swallowed all your food whole into nothingness? It sounds like your Z nuns were amateurs. [ though, which would be worse, really? ] So far, it's alright for two of us — my roommate and I. Dana has a friend who's been taking her out on runs. Makes me feel like I'm slacking in pulling my weight. I'm not exactly ... good at digging around.
[ pietro always took care of it more when they were younger, just so she wouldn't have to.
but her voice brightens with his reveal, because it's always nice to have someone, even if this town isn't always forgiving to those in it. ]
That's ... that's good. Right — ? Well, circumstances aren't exactly ... blossoming here right now, but well — I'm glad you have your friend with you. Are they going to be living with you out there?
All they did was try to turn us into food. [...] Yeah, I guess they were pretty basic.
[Did he just make a "basic bitch" reference over zombified nuns? He did. Small town life truly does change a man.]
I suppose you can't just magic up some food... Now would be a great time to pull a rabbit from a hat. [No loophole blossoming for the magical contingent among them, huh. Figures Deerington wouldn't make it easy.] Yeah. I mean, no--no, I don't think she missed my company so much she wants to rough it with me any longer than she has to. We did plenty of that on the road.
[Amusement over Addy's city girl roots shines through.]
But I thought she was dead. So yeah. It's good. Addy's in town--you might bump into her. She's the one with the spiked bat.
[He means it in a reassuring way--that Wanda is his friend and so he knows Addy would lend her a hand with runs or bludgeoning things in the head if need be as a friend of a friend--but it doesn't occur to him the description might make her sound like someone you'd cross the street to avoid.]
Unfortunately, I’m not that kind of magician. [ not that she’d call herself a magician at all, though some would say she’s not exactly a witch either. not that it mattered, they were all just simply titles, and what she could do — present the illusion of pulling said rabbit out of a hat without actually doing it — didn’t seem like it’d have much use here for what they needed. ]
Well, I’d say she isn’t wrong considering your choice of residence, but you don’t seem to be doing so bad out there.
[ it’s almost … fitting for him, for what she knows of him, anyway. ]
Addy with the spiked bat. [ that’s definitely ... concerning, and maybe it could even sound almost like a bit of a threat if she didn’t know any better how 10k just seems to say things as they are. ] Actually, you know — I don’t know about spiked bats but I think I do know about an Addy. I think that’s who Dana’s been running around with. She said she knew a thing or two about surviving in a pinch. Red hair, I think?
[ not that wanda’s gotten to meet her for herself, but maybe she and dana have just been fairly lucky at picking up the apocalyptic kids of this town. ]
If that’s the case, I think our friends have abandoned us for each other. [ spoken completely out of affection, of course. ]
[Do illusion rabbits taste good? Food for thought.]
Times like these, it's good to be living outside town--supplies in a community are the first to go when food starts running short. That's, um, why I called. To see if you needed anything. I've got plenty, and the chickens are still laying eggs.
[Your local apocalypse veterans are here to pave the way to self-sufficiency when the 7-Eleven no longer stock the taquitos.]
Oh yeah? Sounds like her, all right. Dana... [Hm.] That's not the blonde who likes business clothes, is it?
[That Dana? If he and Addy could find each other again, then anything's possible, even the corporate lady and Addy finding each other again.]
Business clothes? [ who? ] I think you have your Danas mixed. She's another red head. Less business, more casual, I would say. But she's wonderful. Makes things less lonely around the house.
[ because, well, wanda's never been good on her own.
maybe that's why she's warmed a little by his offer, raising a brow with a soft smile heard in her voice. ]
Are you sure? Growing boy like you, I'm sure you eat eggs by the dozen. [ ahaha. ] But that's — that's kind of you. Maybe I can return the favor by cooking you up something with those eggs sometime. I'm due for another walk through those woods anyway if you wouldn't mind me coming by.
[Too bad. Much as he'd be happy for Addy to run into an old friend, that definitely doesn't sound like business casual Dana. Which is unfortunate, because he'd wondered how well she'd do apart from the whole... trust fall thing.]
Never mind. We knew a Dana once, but we must be talking about different ones. Addy sure seems to attract Danas wherever she goes.
[In more ways than one...]
You should've seen me in the beginning when I weighed ten pounds less and got sick from all the fresh food my body didn't know what to do with. [A year ago a single egg might've constituted a meal--and now it only seems fair to return the favor and fill some starving bellies. He's nowhere near the standard definition of rich, but he has enough. Most importantly, enough to share.] Yeah, come over and help yourself. You and your Dana can take what you need. The deer seem to be helping protect this place same as the houses.
[ she’s not so sure if that’s supposed to constitute a good or a bad thing to attract danas, but if 10k’s putting in a good word for her, then it’s easy for her to trust that her dana is in good hands. ]
It’s a good thing you’ve adjusted. Would have been a total waste if you were puking up everything I’ve been feeding you.
[ so very classy. but those are top self desserts, 10k. he clearly doesn’t know how lucky he is.
but in all honesty, she does smile appreciatively at his offered kindness, though it doesn’t come as much of a surprise. he’s been generous towards her since the moment they’d met, and continued on the trend in small doses throughout the months. he’s plenty awkward (as she is) and he may not always be the most self aware in a conversation, but he has a good heart. ]
They’re overwhelming sometimes, in seeing them everywhere, but they have been helpful these days. I could come visit you this afternoon. Would that be okay?
