uncurtained | pc catchall for dick (heh) (unpredicktable)

[ dick is, apparently, shock of all things-- taking a break! please clap. he's got his sunglasses on but he's still nearly fully clothed (boo) as he sits next to the pool, jeans rolled up and shoes off so he can leave his feet in the water.

he lifts them up a little with a grin ]

Never been busier. [ doesn't he look it, too. ] What's up?

[She smiles as she approaches, taking a seat next to him.]

First off... I'm going to go ahead and assume the answer is yes, given your offer yesterday, but - I wanted to make sure you were okay for this week.

[ wow the sun sure looks interesting. he's not necessarily embarrassed, but the context is... ]

You assumed correctly. [ he turns to look back at her-- though since he's got sunglasses on, it's not that expressive a look ] What about you?

Yeah, I'm good. Cool, now we can talk about... literally anything else.

[they're fine. it's fine.]

[ he smirks a little ]

What, you don't like the current topic? [ it's teasing, mainly, which is why he moves on quick-- ] You said first earlier, so... something else you wanted to talk about?

I don’t have an informed opinion on the current topic, do I?

[Teasing right back, but she continues after a second.]

Okay, two things. First off, I was kind of assuming that we could only get appointments with Chuuya and Nathan, given - you know, but I tried Carlos just in case, and... It worked.

You could always get informed if you wanted to. [ ohhhh my god ] That sounded-- never mind.

[ it sounded sleazy wow LET'S MOVE ON TO MORE IMPORTANT TOPICS ]

It did? So you talked to him?

[She - laughs, even if she feels a little bad.]

Depends how you play your cards.

[But! As he moves on, she nods.]

Yeah. Everyone else can, too, but... I don't know if it'll be obvious to everyone. Even I didn't know it would work. So I thought I'd, you know, spread the word.

That's great. Both the confirmation that he's... better, and the fact that maybe we can know more about what happens on the "other side" now.

[She nods.]

Yeah. I didn't ask him too much this time, mostly because I was just glad to see him, but... It's nice that he really is okay. I know he said he would be, but...

[They saw him get melty, so.]

It's one thing to hear about it and another to see it for yourself. I get it.

[ also, dead people stay dead normally, but like they should. potentially be over that one. ]

Your other thing?

Right.

[She reaches up to push her hair behind her ear, pausing for a moment.]

I was just thinking... If you're free tomorrow night, maybe we could have a repeat of Friday?

[ oh. oh. his eyes are still covered by his sunglasses so all she can see is the rise of his eyebrows-- but he smiles after a second, a bit soft ]

Well, I don't have anything planned so far, and last Friday was pretty fun. [ if they ignore the. murder part. ] Sure.

[Her lips quirk up into a grin as she nods.]

Cool. I just thought, since all this new stuff opened up... It would be fun.

Yeah? With me specifically?

[ he's grinning a little, like an asshole ]

Nobody would blame me if I pushed you into the pool right now.

Noted.

[ ... ]

But I don't hear you denying it.

[ he deserve to drown. ]

You're not really helping your case, you know?

[ he's cackling a little but decides he doesn't particularly want to get wet (ha ha) ]

Sorry. [ he does not sound remotely sorry. ] If it helps you not dunking me-- I agree. Exploring that stuff with you sounds fun.

Flattery will get you... not shoved in the pool.

[She smiles.]

Yeah. Almost nothing about being here has been good, but... You know. It’s been nice to get to know you a little.

Sweet. That's exactly what I was aiming for.

[ but he bumps her shoulder with his, a little ]

Glad I could help.
