I'm sorry to ask, but... is it okay if I stay over?
apprenticemerchant
Oh! Um! Yes it should be fine! We'd have to share the bed, or I guess I can clear off the couch for you but it's not very comfortable! Um
shallart
I am fine... with whatever.
Th...thank you.
Where's your dorm?
apprenticemerchant
Roshar Hall, first floor! Someone carved extra numbers and symbols into the door but its room 1H!
shallart
((Shallan Knocks))
apprenticemerchant
It's unlocked!!
shallart
((Shallan enters awkwardly. Her face is obviously the face of someone who's been crying))
apprenticemerchant
Oh Shallan! D:
shallart
Hi.
apprenticemerchant
Is everything okay???
shallart
No.
Adolin... I broke up with him.
apprenticemerchant
Oh!! That's awful!!!!! He seemed so... decent!!
shallart
He... cheated on me.
apprenticemerchant
That's terrible!!!!!
Boys are so dumb!
shallart
Yeah...
((She slumps onto a couch, too tired to cry more))
apprenticemerchant
((Rysn gives a command to nydyr to bring her a blanket off the back of a nearby chair. She hands it to shallan.))
shallart
Okay, Nydyr is... really cute.
apprenticemerchant
Isn't he?? He gives kisses kinda if you want one!
((really theyre just wet piggy nuzzles but))
shallart
((Absolutely a kiss))
I... would like one, yes.
shallart
How was your day?
apprenticemerchant
((she sends the piggy out for some cute kissies that are probably pretty gross but still cute))
apprenticemerchant
Oh, you know! The usual! Watching several hours of news and then scrolling through craigslist! I worked a little on my painting for class, too.
shallart
hehehe
Can I see your painting?
apprenticemerchant
Um!!!! Okay!
((its not exactly this but its an abstract sort of thing. kinda looks like gemstones a bit? https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/91/74/3d/91743d1845c991521dfd493cd816a467.jpg unfinished of course. less than 1/4 done))
shallart
Ohhhh that's so pretty.
I've never done this kind of thing, I always do representational art.
apprenticemerchant
I'm not a very good draw-er with things. I can sort of draw people! And pigs!
I like shapes more though
I'm not majoring in art, anyways
shallart
Neither am I. Art is fun, but... a hobby.
Oh...
I just remembered... I left my art stuff at Adolin's...
apprenticemerchant
We can go get it tomorrow!
If you want I have some things you can probably use around here... for now!
shallart
... I don't think I should see Adolin any time soon.
I uh
pointed my Shardblade at his throat.
apprenticemerchant
YOU HAVE A SHARDBLADE???
shallart
Yes.
shallart
Sort of.
apprenticemerchant
Whoa
shallart
I have a Cryptic.
apprenticemerchant
I didn't know girls could have them!!!
:0
shallart
He can turn into one.
apprenticemerchant
Whoa
shallart
I may have hid it? For a long time? BEcause we're really not supposed to?
apprenticemerchant
That's really cool
shallart
Thank you.
shallart
But... yeah.
I wanted to show you my latest drawing.
It was of us, with knives and fire.
apprenticemerchant
:O
shallart
Ready to storming go to war or something.
I was a little angry at Adolin then too hehe.
apprenticemerchant
ᕙ( ^ oo^ c)
Be angry!!
shallart
hehehe
shallart
((If Rysn is on the couch too, Shallan leans against her))
apprenticemerchant
We should probably get you to bed! Being sad makes you tired and being angry makes you even more tired!
shallart
Yeah... I'm really... really tired...
apprenticemerchant
My room's the door on the left and the bathroom is the one on the right um... You can stay in my room if you want? Nydyr can take the couch. I dont think he'll mind!!
shallart
I would love to... I'm not taking the bed from you, am I?
apprenticemerchant
Um no you'd just be taking Nydyrs spot, silly!
shallart
:)
Are you staying up a while longer then?
apprenticemerchant
I should probably go to bed! Or shower and then go to bed!
shallart
... I'm probably really gross, aren't I.
I...
((tears fall down Shallan's face))
apprenticemerchant
Passions! No no! Um
shallart
I'm... I'm sorry.
apprenticemerchant
((She grabs at Shallans hands because thats what Gal Pals do as a sign of friendship or whatever))
I sleep with a pig! It's fine!
shallart
((Shallan brushes when Rysn grabs her safehand))
Oh.
I... that's not...
um.
((wipes tears))
apprenticemerchant
((Rysns eyes go wide as she figures out what she just said.))
I mean....!
I'm sorry!
shallart
I'm sorry. It's just... last night, I... was going to have... shower sex with Adolin... and that was the first thing we talked about this morning...
I'm sorry. It's not you.
((Shallan claps her hands to her mouth))
I'M SO SORRY
apprenticemerchant
((Rysn, eyes still wide because shallan said the sex word))
shallart
that's.. TMI, isn't it???
apprenticemerchant
No! it's fine! Um! Its! Fine!
shallart
I um.
((Shallan's beet red as she takes her hands from her face))
I'm so sorry.
apprenticemerchant
Maybe we should get ready for bed!
shallart
Yes. Bed.
apprenticemerchant
((She claps a bit excitedly))
You go ahead I'll be there in a few?
shallart
Okay.
((Shallan goes and lays down in bed))
apprenticemerchant
((it takes rysn several minutes to sort herself out and make it to her room in the first place. she isnt exactly graceful when she manages to flop into bed beside shallan))
shallart
Oh. Hello.
Thank you for being so nice.
apprenticemerchant
It's the least I can do!!! Always gotta help a girlfriend out!
((she says girlfriend in the way straight people say girlfriend))
shallart
((Shallan reaches over and hugs Rysn))
You're amazing. Thank you.
apprenticemerchant
((rysn does the same smile she uses on customers that buy from her.))
Thank /You!/
shallart
I don't really know much about you, do I?
apprenticemerchant
...Nope!
shallart
((Shallan breaks off the hug and puts her face in front of Rysn's, kinda close but not quite kissing close))
Why don't you tell me about yourself?
apprenticemerchant
!! Okay um
apprenticemerchant
My name is Rysn! I've traveled just about everywhere with my Babsk! I like pigs and merchantry! And rocks! and plants! and animals! and Rainbows! and I'm Theylen if you can tell! ((she rambles a bit))
shallart
((Shallan just smiles and listens))
apprenticemerchant
...and that's about all you need to know!
shallart
That's so cool.
It sounds like you've been everywhere.
apprenticemerchant
Mostly just Roshar, really! But I have left a couple times!
shallart
Oh? Where to?
apprenticemerchant
Um...... Sel, once?
The other times were just over the border so not really... far?
shallart
Ooooh, that sounds fun.
Sel sound so colorful and bright.
apprenticemerchant
((Rysn yawns, a combination of being tired and talking too much too fast))
Oh goodness,
shallart
Oh goodness indeed.
Stormfather, this... feels nice.
You're so wonderful.
apprenticemerchant
!!!
I'm glad you feel better!
shallart
((Shallan looks into Rysn's eyes)) You're... really pretty.
apprenticemerchant
((Rysns eyes go wide. Did the prettiest girl shes ever met just call her pretty???????))
shallart
((Shallan's face goes red again)) I'm... so sorry!
apprenticemerchant
Um!!!
shallart
Um.
apprenticemerchant
It's okay
shallart
It is?
apprenticemerchant
Yeah because youre pretty too,,,!
shallart
Oh.
I uh.
((Shallan slowly reaches her hand to Rysn's face, guaging her reaction))
apprenticemerchant
((Rysn leans forward, kissing Shallan strongly but quickly, pulling back, long eyebrows raised in shock or fear. She doesn't say anything.))
shallart
((Shallan blinks in surprise)) Wow.
I.
apprenticemerchant
((Rysn stammers))
I-I'm sorry!
shallart
((She pulls Rysn up and kisses her again, softly. She puts her hand in her hair and gently strokes Rysn's head))
apprenticemerchant
((Rysn squeaks, then whispers))
I think I'm going to die
shallart
Please don't. There are more where that came from if you don't.
apprenticemerchant
I promise,
shallart
((Shallan smiles, and climbs on top of Rysn, giving her a quick kiss)) Is... is this okay?
apprenticemerchant
((Rysn nods, a little frozen.)) Watch the legs...
shallart
I'll be careful.
((Shallan takes it however far Rysn lets her, and regularly asks to make sure it's okay and that her legs are fine))
apprenticemerchant
((Just kissing? That's all shes ever done before and isnt much of a Random Hookup kinda gal))
shallart
((Legit, Shallan is fine with stopping there))
apprenticemerchant
((at some point Rysn yawns again, and covers her mouth before suggesting Real Sleep))
[Shallan, Adolin, Renarin, and Kaladin are in one of the (unused) basements. Shallan is distraught over Adolin, and Kaladin and Renarin were there to calm her down. Adolin shows up.]

Shallan: ((Shallan throws Pattern at him.))
Shallan: OUT
