Your sin is greed, correct?

[ she's here to help indulge(?) ]

Perhaps you should ask me to give you something.

[alteracion]

Well, if you kept hiding it, I was going to take it. [ it's? teasing again, but don't mind her: ] How about you give me what's behind your back?

[chevaleros]

[ 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

...rustic. ]

You can consider it a gift.

[alteracion]

[ 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?

[chevaleros]

[ very greedy! good, good. ]

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.

[alteracion]

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 ]

[chevaleros]

[ it's only something she's picked up again recently herself, too. as for the chocolates... ]

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. ]

[alteracion]

... 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.

[chevaleros]

[ oh, that's much worse than forgetting how to cook. don't say that so casually, grace. ]

Are you all right?

[alteracion]

Of course. Don't I look fine?

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

Mostly.

[chevaleros]

Mostly...

[ 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.

[alteracion]

[ she kind of goes phbbbbbbt ]

Nothing about this is funny.
