[ sadly, he comes from a time where #thosecustomers maybe didn't exist?? at least not like this.

but, to be honest, it's kind of funny to see her struggle with them, even with her condition. he's honestly about to cave and help her, but then the fish flops into someone else's cart and then the other fish lands at the edge of the table before flopping on the ground.

just like that the impact on the ground makes it go splat. some blood now leaking out from somewhere on its body.

ah. ] I thought you didn't like the idea of gutting them. [ but, really, now that they're gathering a crowd, maybe they should actually just be leaving and potentially never coming back here?

except, callisto genuinely does not know such shame. ]

[oomfies]

[ What the fuck. People are watching? A fish landed in someone else's cart??? Lottie pales, laughs stiffly before forcing their cart into whatever direction that is away from their crowd of onlookers. She doesn't care about gutting or his stupid pretty face looking down at her all weird, she cares about reputation. ]

Now is not the time to talk about that?! I want to come back here, Callisto!

[ She says, just loud enough for him to hear and low enough for no one else to catch onto. ]

We have to go.

they def. look insane....

[uncourteous]

[ honestly, the eyes of the masses or public opinion never bothered callisto. but, that was probably obvious with his reputation as a tyrant and nothing less of a crazed animal. hence, he almost misses the fact that lottie... looks so uncomfortable.

it's only when she calls her name aloud does his attention snap back towards her. to be honest, despite time passing, he's still not used to the idea of his name being used so openly, and it's enough where he pauses a second too long, before... ]

My lady is far more fickle than I expected. [ but, despite this, he doesn't actually seemed bother. with this, he secures her wrist in his grip before....

he makes a run— don't worry, it's a store, so he just speed walks, abandoning their cart and all. ]

they're going to have posters of their face up..banned from fish market forever

[oomfies]

[ My.. Lady?!!! Lottie's face burns, both from the fact he says it so genuinely she wants to scream and also because her lungs are particularly, especially, weak as he leads them on a speed walking venture away from their things. He's lucky she was already wearing her purse, otherwise she'd kick and scream for him to go back! ]

I'm not.. I'm normal!

[ She protests weakly, only allowing her to look back once at their abandoned cart. Her anxiety spikes at the fact someone will have to empty out their things and put it away, and she groans loudly, distressed. Her hand clenches at nothing, a little breathless when she asks, ]

W-where are we going?

was it worth it....

[uncourteous]

[ the weakness of her voice actually does... hold some effect. while he seemed largely unmoved and carefree on the surface, he is reminded of her condition all the same, and his feet naturally begin to slow their pace. granted, it's probably not helpful considering the cart is no longer in sight, and there definitely are different pairs of eyes staring in their general direction. they definitely are being labeled as some crazy couple in the market...

he keeps this semi-brisk pace until he kind of stops. ] I hope you know that calling yourself "normal" isn't exactly convincing...

[ though, he is here to help so he pauses on yet another remedy. it looks like some type of dry lizard? ] To find you a cure, of course. [ he is earnest about at least that, but maybe... lottie should stop him from making yet another mistake.

i was going to pm you a pic of said lizard, but it was too much. nsfw... ]

if he gives her a kissy it will :eye:

[oomfies]

[ what hello..please show me the lizard

Also, while Lottie is rightfully upset that her status as a regular shopper at this market will more than likely be revoked, she is swayed to at least let some of it simmer when he goes and says that. Its effect is only semi working, because the lizard is.. Lizarding. Lottie only gives a few, scattered glances to the crowd, cheeks flaring while she breathes grossly through her mouth (that's right, open mouth breathing glory).

There's a massive frown that makes Lottie look, frankly, silly. Childish, almost. ]

You're too much.. Seriously! [ I just don't get you, she thinks. ] Just.. Pay for it and let's go? Okay?!

:eye: :eye: even if lizard is superimposed now?

[uncourteous]

[ he's a bit surprised... that she actually gives in. he isn't sure if it's her accumulated shame, or if it's the fact that she was perhaps a bit more easygoing than she appeared on the surface— but, he decides to take full advantage of the moment. he scoops up the packaged "mating ball"— the last of its kind left, apparently. or perhaps, one could only forage so many of these in the wild. after all, there probably is something to be said about lizards fuzed together by the act of pure thirst??

regardless, callisto actually doesn't ponder upon it too deeply. it wasn't like he was particularly empathetic. so he does pay for it, before tucking it under his arm. with that he reaches out and ushers her out beside him; even offering his arm for her like a proper gentleman.

or out of sheer habit. either way: ] The lady really does enjoy protesting. But, I see even you have a conscience to recognize concern. [ says... callisto. ]

after seeing the png the lizard has effectively blue balled both of us..gomen

[oomfies]

[ 'The lady really does enjoy protesting..'

He's lost her. Completely. Really, she can put up with a lot of odd things, like the snake making ball, but after hearing that? From him? It doesn't matter if he's hot, Lottie is miffed — so she doesn't take his arm (although she does debate on it, clearly, from the way she eyes it), as a result. ]

..The lady enjoys protesting?

[ She crosses her arms. ]

The lady also has a name.

it is... what is is. maybe one day they can move past this...

[uncourteous]

[ while he was slightly more self-aware than he led on, he has to admit that lottie was fairly difficult to get a read on. hence, he has no idea what about his words may have led to disturb her. he gives a look of consideration for a second, before: ]

Do you dislike being referred to as "the lady"? [ then, slightly quieter. ] ... and are you scolding me? [ oddly enough, he did notice there was trend here in people preferring their own names, or a nickname. which, does give him some pause, before he eventually speaks again. ]

Lottie. [ the way he says it, it's clear it's a bit more... unusual for him. but, he doesn't seem to find any displeasure in it. ]

Right? Unless you prefer another title?
