[ she is not swayed by the sweettalk at all, still carefully keeping grace's eyes off of the Surprise. ]
This time? Nothing. [ will she come ask grace to do something very dangerous with her eventually? almost definitely. they're in it now.] Actually, I was thinking I could help you.
[ robbing is fine for the purposes of this indulgence ]
You drive a very hard bargain.
[ but she hands it over without any more fuss. it's... a box of chocolates! one half of them look very nice with a professional finish, and the other half is more
[ she takes it, examining them in clear interest ]
You should give me gifts more often. [ this is the greed version of thanks, considering she winks after, but she seems taken with it ] Did you make these?
Yes, it was almost Valentines Day before I was brought here. On our airship, we customarily made and gave out several chocolates. It was all very rowdy.
[ the good half does seem very practiced, mostly dark chocolate with lacy designs piped on. ]
Someone else asked me for a gift, so I thought these would be appropriate.
Oh, wow. I can't even remember the last time I celebrate Valentine's Day. [ she will pop one of the chocolates from the good half in her mouth, humming at the taste. chocolate good ] So what's the difference between both kinds?
[ she's not going to point out one is kind of ugly YET ]
... They're probably fine, but I'll keep them for later. [ or like, never, just in case? but: ] Yeah, everyone's been forgetting things. I lost my sense of balance for a while? I was in the middle of walking the tightrope, so that was great. This place is the worst.

Truth be told, they're not supposed to be different. I—forgot how to make them? At some point...
[ thanks weekly effect ]
I should hope they at least taste all right. [ they are probably filled with sweet-adjacent things like carrots and beets. ]

Are you all right?

[ twirls in place and like, fucking stumbles because she did lose her grace. har har. ]

[ it's a good effort. vira's found herself to be pretty clumsy at—everything? so she feels this. ]
—Oh, that's right. Your profile mentions you're quite good at dancing, right? I suppose this place thought it might be funny to see you struggle.

Nothing about this is funny.
