~ Scylla shivers as he walks, his shoes making the slightest rhythmic clicking noise against the concrete as he walks. It seems like her course is interrupted when he spots a familiar face. He waves, grinning. ~
Sulfur?
- @mors-venator
{Sulfur looks up upon its name being called. Oh, Scylla. Sulfur waves back somewhat, and stays sitting in the same spot it has been for hours now.}
~ He considers leaving Sulfur be, unsure if it wants to be around anyone right now, given the fact that it’s sitting outside alone. But he decides to take a chance, walking over to Sulfur. He does his best to attempt small talk once he reaches them. ~
Hey, how’s it going? It’s chilly out, isn’t it?
"Going fine," {Sulfur shrugs.} "Yeah, it is pretty chilly, huh?" {Sulfur's outfit doesn't seem that well prepared for the cold air, but it doesn't seem that bothered.} "Bit warmer than last night, though."
Well, that’s good to hear! Hopefully it keeps getting warmer, can’t stand the cold.
~ As he speaks, he turns and begins rummaging through his bag. Two bouquets seem to be sticking out of it, and he handles them very gently as he moves them around to grab something. ~
Plan on doing anything for Valentines-Palentines day?
"I, uh. Didn't even know it was today. I never really do anything for it, rarely even know when it's happening because I'm usually either at home or working when it comes around."
Ah, fair enough I suppose. I was actually ‘bout to head back over the the apartment to hang out with Mopsy and maybe Nikki if they wanted to come, do you wanna join us? I don’t think we’ll be doing anything big, just- there we go!
~ Finally, he manages to pull from his bag a small stuffed animal, presenting it to Sulfur. It’s a crow, or raven perhaps? I didn’t read the tag. ~
{It was going to respond to the offer but paused at the stuffed animal being presented to Sulfur. Surely this can't be for it, can it? It glances between the plush and Scylla, and then slowly stands up, using the tree for support.} "Is that..?" {Sulfur's voice trails off, a silent "for me" hanging in the air. It can't be, but why else would it be shown to Sulfur like this?}
~ Scylla nods enthusiastically. ~
For you! I would’ve gotten you a bouquet like I did for Nikki and Mopsy but I didn’t know what flowers you liked or if you were allergic to them sooo I decided to just play it safe. I mean, you’re basically part of the group now yeah? And I thought this was really you-coded, ya know?
{Sulfur does not know what the plushie being it-coded means, but it doesn't have the words to respond right now. It very gently takes the plushie from Scylla's hands and stares at it. Sulfur has been included it in so many small things that usually guests aren't part of. No, actually, guests are never part of. It has had to be a guest on jobs before. Guests aren't treated as well as this. Sulfur doesn't care about people like this when it's a guest.} {Sulfur holds the plushie close. It is smiling.}
~ Seeing Sulfur pleased with the gift, a wave of relief washes over him. He had been worried to gift wouldn’t be up Sulfur’s alley, and had kept the receipt neatly folded in one of his pockets, but it looks as though that wouldn’t be necessary. ~
Do you plan on coming back to the apartment soon? I’m heading over there now so we can walk together if you’d like?
{Sulfur takes a moment to register that it has been spoken to. Then it considers for another moment.} "I probably should, yeah?"
Mhm! I mean, I’m sure Mopsy would be happy to see you, and if Nikki is there then we’ll have everyone!
~ Scylla offers a hand, but then quickly retracts it as a harsh breeze fucks up his hair, obscuring his vision for a moment. Then he offers his hand for Sulfur. ~
