[ dimitri why

she will take the cake. thank you. at his comment though, she tries not to smile. it doesn't work, though, and she uses her free hand to try to politely obscure it. ]

So did I, actually. It's a little funny.

[ two rich bitches out here in the world ]

[paraselenes]

[ the lesson here is that rich people belong in hell, oopsie. that does explain her demeanor some, though. she's genteel in a way that suits someone with a higher class upbringing. ]

Is it? [ he sounds amused. ] We must look a little ridiculous to the people here.

[ two rich bitches, out here foraging cake... ]

[declass]

Possibly. Although maybe that'll make us seem more approachable...?

[ well. rosa has cute bear ears, she'll look approachable no matter what, and dimitri doesn't look like a raccoon.

does dimitri want some nuts. ]

[paraselenes]

[ i. i guess. he will take some nuts. ]

Me? Approachable?

[ that earns a disbelieving puff of laughter. ]

No one's ever said that to me. You're perfectly friendly though, Rosa.

[ truly her ears are so disarming... ]

[declass]

[ dimitri has been nothing but pleasant to her since they met, so it is a little surprising to hear him say that... then again, what you see doesn't necessarily mean that's all someone is. ]

Thank you. I don't see the point in being rude for no reason. [ yjh. felix. ] But you've been rather fine to be around, Dimitri.

[paraselenes]

[ why do tsunderes exist and insist on being rude as hell. in contrast, dimitri cracks open one of the nuts, freeing the inner flesh of its hard shell as he hands half to her. ]

Most would say that I'm dour company at best. [ it gets much worse than that, though. ] Truthfully, despite the soirees and functions that come with wealth and nobility, I've never known how to conduct myself in places like these. Festivities and the like, I mean.

[declass]

You have been more than pleasant so far, although I am sure there are moods I haven't seen.

[ rosa won't pretend that she knows everything about him, given they've only known each other for a short amount of time so far. but from what little she does know? he seems fine.

she'll take the offered piece. ]

Do you typically stand to the side then, for parties?

[paraselenes]

[ at least she acknowledges that people have layers. or ~inner darkness.~ who's to say whether she's showing all her cards right now either?

maybe their worse selves will stay hidden, though. ]

Mm. I prefer more private gatherings, if anything.

[ it's nicer to just have a tea party with one person than a gala with a million, where his attention is meant to be divided amongst countless guests, critics and sycophants both. ]

I often content myself with watching people make merry from a distance. But you must be familiar with this sort of environment as well. [ since she's also a rich bitch ]

[declass]

Yes, although the company here has been far better than what I'm used to.

[ she doesn't mean just dimitri though; most of the gatherings she's used to are a lot of important people sucking up to more important people, and doing your best to not give someone else a reason to talk about you negatively.

it's way too much work. chatting and eating nuts is much preferable. she'll take a bite out of one. ]

Everyone seems to be doing their own thing.

[paraselenes]

[ he's just snacking idly, which is a bad idea because he'll probably have a terrible trip later but it's fine. ]

It's a shame to meet good company in death, but I agree. [ definitely better than a stuffy soiree. ] Have you found anything to occupy your time with, Rosa?

[declass]

Someone suggested that I check out the school, so I think I'll do that and see if I learn anything interesting.

[ she doesn't sound like she's too convinced that'll lead to something helpful though, going by what's advertised as the curriculum... but better to check all avenues than not. ]

But besides that, I've mostly just been trying to adjust.

[paraselenes]

Oh, you are about the age to be enrolled in school. I was about seventeen when I was in Academy myself.

[ And there were people even younger than that at the school of sorcery, too. ]

I hope you do attend. It would be a good opportunity, even here.

[declass]

I figure that even if nothing ends up being interesting, it could potentially be useful to really see what this area finds important enough to teach...

[ maybe it'll be useful later? and if it's not, she can just stop going and never finish her education... again. ]

Is there anything you might check out?
