" that doesn't sound like the you i know. " [ from anna ]

“i know, i don’t know what’s wrong with me.” babette huffed, dramatically collapsing and lying upon the sofa. “i just don’t want to do anything tonight. i feel so…blah.” she wasn’t normally like this. any other time she would have jumped at the chance to go out and do something. she was a party girl after all. but tonight, her clothes were just a little too comfy, her apartment just perfectly warm and cozy. “you could stay in with me tonight though! we can do something here? but if you’re set on going out i understand.”

“So much we don't know, lingering in the furthest reaches of existence.” (Padme and Ben)

ben hated how right she was. “this world is living proof of that i guess.” it was equal parts frustrating and amusing that at once point in his life, he thought he could rule the entire galaxy. the entire galaxy, and he didn’t even know half of it. he didn’t think that he would have ever found ivy cove on his own, not even if he had searched for eons. “this place doesn’t feel real. it is so far removed from the world i knew that i don’t even know where or how to fit in it.”

ben surprised himself, that was more personal than most of the information he shared with his own family. but there was something comforting about the other, and maybe it was daft to share information with someone who didn’t know him, and to someone he’d probably never see again. “what about you? was this place always home? or are you from somewhere out of our reach too?”

❛  but most of all, i hate how much i don't hate you.  ❜ ( shadowheart to astarion )

“well of course you don’t, silly.” astarion smirked. he rather enjoyed his light banter with shadowheart, she was a good time. she had wits and cunning of her own, and he had always liked that about her. maybe because it reminded him, just a little, of himself. “really, darling, it’s impossible to hate me, even if you wanted to. i’m too much fun, and you’re too serious. we compliment each other, in a strange way, don’t you think?”

❛ i don’t usually just walk up to strangers but my friends set me up to it. ❜ ( juliet to anyone )

“that’s okay, i don’t bite.” the burlesque dancer gave the other a kind smile and pulled up a stool for her to sit on. technically babette was off the clock, but she didn’t mind entertaining the club guests a bit longer. it was babette’s job to be a good hostess at the club, but most of the time it didn’t feel so much like a job. she liked people, and it was especially easy for her to make sure the women in the club felt safe. “my name is babette, what’s your name and what sent you over here, cherie?”

❛  are you always this straightforward with strangers ?  ❜ ( anastasia to anyone )

“are you consistently annoying?” erik retorted. people like her were the reason he never wanted to leave the opera house. even when people weren’t making remarks about his mask they could be aggravating. “it’s better to be honest than to make someone believe in a lie just to spare their feelings.”

❛ i don’t usually just walk up to strangers but my friends set me up to it. ❜ ( juliet to anyone )

“hi, i’m the doctor.” the doctor introduced, offering their hand with a charming smile. he didn’t know why the other came up to him, but he didn’t question it too much. he went up to random people all of the time. “there, now we’re not strangers. well…actually i didn’t quite get your name.” he prompted curiously.

“Your friends are lucky to have you.” [ primrose to anyone ]

vax gave a watery smile to the other. “that means a lot. i care for those idiots a lot.” the rogue laughed, looking down bashfully. “what about you? do you have anyone important in your life like that? friends? family?” he asked curiously, not able to imagine someone so kind being so lonely.

closed starter || vander and powder

“are you gonna wipe the counter until it shines? because you’ll be scrubbing a while.” vander teased from behind the bar. he had to give it to his manager, she was dedicated. she cared about the bar as much as he did, and that meant a lot to him. but he knew powder, and she wasn’t scrubbing the counter over and over again to get it squeaky clean. “what’s on your mind, kid? everything going alright?” he asked, genuinely worried about the other. he grabbed orange juice from behind the bar, put a little straw in it, and handed it to her.
