[ he asked for a title that's one of affection??? also she's not a brocon wtf

but okay, fine. maybe she's giving him a bit of a hard time despite the kindness he's shown her just a while ago. to be fair, he was asking for it after all the teasing he's done with her in the past, but she supposes that she can lay off—for now. her own way of returning his kindness, kind of.

the audacity to ask her if she has no friends, though— ]

Of course, I have friends. They usually call me Lumine.

[ girlie

because that's her name. plus, it would be weird if she asks him to call her traveler, considering he doesn't know the reason behind that monicker. ]

[ her defensive stance on the matter of her "having no friends" gets a chuckle out of him. well, he figures she didn't seem like the friendless sort to begin with. he presumes there was a lot to be said about a woman who had a conscience enough not to leave a total stranger in the middle of what was no less than wastelands. packed with reapers and all.

if that wasn't a testament to her character, then he wouldn't be sure as what could be constituted as one. but, wow. girlie? you're lucky that's too far out of callisto's usual language and comfort zone. ]

Then it looks like you were spared a nickname for now, "little sister." [ lol, is he making fun of her? absolutely. ]

[ lmao she'll not!break up with him if he calls her girlie

the urge to roll her eyes at that, though. if only she's given a coin for every sigh she exhales whenever she's around callisto, she wouldn't be doing these commissions or requests. but as it is, she's not rewarded by having to endure his teasing. ]

Great, I do like hearing my name more than a nickname.

[ she assumes he's the same, considering he called her out earlier with her use of his title. in any case, she points at a stall a few feet away from them, turning to callisto. ]

That's my stop right there. [ for the goods, at least. lumine holds out her arms to take back the items they've picked up. ] ... Thanks for carrying them for me. And for the handkerchief.

[ despite the twists and turns of their every conversation, callisto doesn't dislike it. all the more, he seems to think that time passed by far more quickly than he expected. but, naturally while he could have just been a perfect gentlemen, he never does quite leave it at that. ]

You're really the only one who could use me as a mule with zero remorse. [ however, with his words, there's more a smile than there is a frown. it stays even as he turns his back. but, slightly more quietly, he speaks in tune. almost as if uttering his usual threats, and yet a little softer somehow. ]

No need to thank me. After all, I'm expecting something quite extravagant in return.

[ .............................. archons, this man.

she's been stifling the desire to do so, but lumine does it anyway, roll her eyes out of exasperation. he really has to have the last word, doesn't he? in every conversation they've had so far, in every interaction they've managed to get into, callisto is acting like himself.

this is despite the spreading illness around, and he's completely unaffected. ]

Learn how to manage your expectations, Your Highness.

[ and before he can scoff at that, she's off! not letting him get the last last last word here. let her have her win, you 2nd ml!! ]
