[Overdressed, meet underdressed.

Not that Zagreus knows what exactly makes one underdressed or overdressed anyway. Everyone is entitled to their own expression, and he's from a place where skulls, spikes, gold bands, jewels are just uniforms, and even Goddesses decide to eschew clothes altogether (looking at you, Aphrodite) in favor of some strategically placed hair.

After waving his goodbyes to the fishmonger and patting the pouch at his waist full of coin, he feels the device in his pocket thrum and he whips it out.

Oh! It was today and he's late! It's a good thing he's close by and doesn't take much time to find the bar. The crowd is rambunctious enough for him to spot it, and it's not very far from his own little flat. He's seen it every now and then, passed by the establishment, and probably sold a fish or some clams to it for their snacks. He doesn't really remember; his unlife has been a blur.

Spotting Lottie isn't difficult, even within the crowd. Her hair stands out, for sure, but it's more familiar than anything else. It had reminded Zagreus of a sweet, hard-working gorgon back at home, and he only positions himself so he shows up over her shoulder in the 'reflection' on the screen, a hand waving and his smile beaming, honest and glad he's finally meeting someone who was so nice on this device in person.
]

Lottie? Hello, there. It's Zagreus.

[Thank Ancient Greece, Lottie, and the fact that he's a human furnace. His feet are gaining some activity then like a dormant volcano, the glow steadily increasing across the days he's been here, recuperating slowly, and so is his resistance to the cold. Not that he doesn't feel it. He just doesn't get as affected as most.

He sits down on the stool next to her, the bartender flashing recognition in his eyesβ€”not that he's not easy to recognize, anywayβ€” and Zag tilts his head in reply. It's the first time he's been to this bar, but it's the first time he's an actual customer.
] Oh, thank you for inviting me. [His smile widens, obviously happy to meet a friend and trying something new.

He's been doing that a lot, here. Go figure.
] What are you having? What's good here?

[He peers curiously at the drink, a little blink of recognition when he sees the gummy floating within the cubesβ€”ice, he knows that's ice, nowβ€” finding the little fellow adorable. The godling leans in closer, a moment of hesitancy, mostly because he can afford his own drink, and he knows prices are steep in this underworld.

Once she does give him some reassurance, he cradles the glass carefully and sips at the drink, cautiously removing the straw and placing his lips on the brim.

It's… sweeter than he thought, his eyebrows arch, a little surprised, and he licks his lips as he slides the drink back, a little giddy and signaling the bartender to give him one of those, too.
] Oh, this is actually quite nice! What makes it blue, do you know?

[Probably both! He's squinting at the bottle, too, and it's not because she has great vision, the label is, indeed, worn out, and most of the letters have peeled off. Still, it didn't really matter, and after the bartender slid the drink to Zagreus with a nod, he raises his glassβ€”gently so as not to topple, the cup is filled to the brim.]

Here's to you, Lottie. [He clinks their glasses.] For helping me out with how to work with a phone. Very thankful that you did.

Of 'her'? [He parrots softly, eyebrows arched as he sips through the straw (and if there's a mention of how silly he looks doing it, it'll only get a laugh). He was unaware that people attributed gender to their phone, but it must be the same as people do with ships, or so he heard. He brings a bundle of fabric up, setting it on the counter between them and unwrapping it to show the cellphone in there, unscathed.]

Is it normal that she keeps trying to slip off my fingers? [He perks up.] Oh! I did almostβ€” ah, what was the nameβ€” buttdial, isn't it? I almost did that once. Would be embarrassing if it did happen, but I stopped it before it would actually call anyone.

[ Considering all of her various... afflictions, Lottie seems like someone who might know how to deal with the gradual, floral shutdown of lungs that's going around. At first he'd assumed it was some bizarre, magical bug going around the gallows, spreading between inmate to inmate, but even after his escape he's been seeing signs of it: people coughing into their hands, a few petals flying free from their fingers.

So that brings us to the present: him, watching her rifle through the tinctures and potions that she's bought, stifling a soft cough before speaking over the clink of glass. ]


...Do you think there's really a cure out there?

[ People had made claims, but he's not sure how much of it is snake oil. Guess they're about to find out. He sounds exasperated for being sick, annoyed at the hoarseness of his own voice. ]

I've never heard of a plague involving flowers, even in tales of whimsy.

My shield instructor. Well, that's not quite right. [He's chuckling throughout his explanation, amused at his mishap and delighted that Lottie finds it funny, too. Zagreus squints at the mid-distance, trying to figure out something that's honestly not difficult to explain.] Rather, a friend who decided to teach me how to use a shield for defense.

[He pressed on it when fishing at the pier because a fish was escaping between his fingers.] I wasn't aware it happened so often. Thankfully the sound was loud enough for me to hear it.

[ It's always easier to open up when someone takes the first step, giving a little. And in their case, that first push was an outright shove, one neither had invited. But now that there's no headless murdering horseman chasing after them, it's... nice. In its own way. He doesn't have to admit his own deficiencies, the aches of old battles and stiff scars, the way some of his senses are dulled. There's still some secrecy in not laying out explanations for it all—he doesn't know why she breaks out into hives or anything—but the latent understanding is a comfort.

Even if he still doesn't totally understand. He doesn't know what an internet is. If only he also inherited her pop culture knowledge. He eyes the flask she's plucked up before he takes the... shot glass. lottie why this glassware ]


Mm. Growing is a good way to put it.

[ Terrible as that is. He takes a little sip. It smells slightly chemical, even if it tastes like nothing to him. ]

I hope it hasn't caused you too much pain, at least. [ her lungs already seemed kind of. broken. ] You seem to be taking it in stride. As much as one can, anyway.

[His eyebrows arch when he's about to take another sip from the straw. Pursed lips and nipple out, he really doesn't care if he does look silly. There's already too much toxic masculinity in Ancient Greek Myth and Society anyway. ]

'Vibes'? [He chews on his lips absently, both because the drink really is syrupy and trying to remember if he did learn about that word in his newly-discovered lingo lexicon.] Not quite sure what you mean.

[ Bossy... It's sort of novel being told what to do when he's been ruling a nation for years, though. So when prompted, he drinks the rest down smoothly (if there's any benefit to ageusia, it's not needing a chaser with bitter medicine), wondering absently what this tonic even does.

At least Lottie seems to know what she's doing, though he's not sure that's a good thing. He sets the glass down with a quiet clink, looking concerned. ]


Are you ill... constantly?

[ The flowers he can understand; there's no need to explain how uncomfortable it is when something pricks inside of you like thorns, the uncomfortable pressure of leaves and petals building up until they're coughed up. But he's usually healthy otherwise. And he doesn't know what the science of an allergy is. His world probably still thinks it's a random fun quirky weakness of the human body. ]

lottie would have a field day with all the nips out in ancient greece

A feeling during practice... [Leaning his chin on the heel of his wrist, he frowns thoughtfully, trying to recall that. Shalem had looked very okay during the practice following that blunder, or so he seemed. He wonders if he should have let it ring and actually called him, but he supposes that he's used to this kind of thing happening, too.] I don't think so. I met him the next day, and he didn't say anything about it. Then again, he knows I'm new to this.

Why, though? [His mismatched eyes flit over to Lottie, who looks so at ease in this kind of setting that he wonders if this is something everyone else on the surface does.] Are there supposed to be?

ofc she would <3

[Nodding through her explanation's ups and downs, Zagreus takes what Lottie says to heart, learning a totally new thing and a diligent student if he just puts his heart on it. He finds himself arching his eyebrows as he realizes how the social dynamics regarding the phone work and laughs.] Oh! I see!

[He gently tips his head and equally tilts his glass against hers.] I'm sorry you have to spell everything out for me, you know? I've realized I'm incredibly sheltered, so you've been very helpful. Thank you.
