[Asuka stifles a (slightly mean-spirited) laugh at Kanaya's expense.]

Yeah, I know. This clothing is weird.

[Hey, wait a minute.]

Hey, if you guys have those sylladex things, how come you use pockets?

[speakveryclearly]

Strife specibi work differently from standard fetching.

[...

She pauses a bit trying to figure out the best and clearest way to phrase this.] Everyone can wield weapons from their sylladex easily. Other objects... everyone has their own fetch modus. Mine is Chastity. It locks things up. So I only captchalogue objects I need to keep safe rather than immediately retrieve.

Hence, pockets.

[redheadcarrier]

Your weird pocket dimension is based on chastity?

[Sorry Kanaya, Asuka can't restrain her laughter now.]

Do you lose it if your virtue is impugned?

[speakveryclearly]

[WEIRD ALIEN BLUSH]

It's figurative! It means I can't use my objects until I'm ready!

[redheadcarrier]

[Too late Kanaya, she found something to grab onto. Her voice takes on a sing-song, teasing tone.]

Does that mean you need a partner?

[speakveryclearly]

N-n-n-no it most certainly doesn't--!

Wouldn't, wouldn't intuition prohibit the inclusion of a partner by principle.

[FLUSTERATION.]

[redheadcarrier]

I thought you said it wouldn't work until you were ready. If you're ready, well-

[She's milking this for all it's worth.]

[speakveryclearly]

I don't think my sylladex is releasing any untoward receptacles any time soon!

[redheadcarrier]

[Asuka's too busy laughing her butt off to ask about receptacles just yet. Give her a moment to recover.]

[speakveryclearly]

[Hiding her face in her hands. MAYBE EVEN STEPPING BACKWARDS AWAY IN SHAME.]

[redheadcarrier]

[Asuka leans back on her elbows, still laughing.]

The look on your face - why are you so uptight?

[This from the girl who manages to find the worst side of everything these days.]

[speakveryclearly]

Because everything is terrible.

[And reproduction is always a touchy subject for a troll.]

[redheadcarrier]

I think it's pretty amusing.

[She's never going to let you forget this.]

[speakveryclearly]

Good for you. [Actively trying to sink into the core of the Earth.]

[redheadcarrier]

Lighten up! You take yourself too seriously.

[Asuka nudges her with a foot, still grinning ear to ear.]

You walked into it, anyway.

[speakveryclearly]

[She puts her hands behind her back and gently nudges Asuka's foot back.]

I can't deny that I did.

[redheadcarrier]

[Well, at least Asuka's been amused for all of five minutes.]

What the heck did you mean by receptacles, anyway?

[speakveryclearly]

Ah-uh. I am not walking into that one. No.

[She's on to you.]

[redheadcarrier]

What? I really don't get it.

[Picture of innocence.]

[speakveryclearly]

Ask another troll.

[redheadcarrier]

[Asuka huffs.]

Fine. I'll just ask Nepeta next time I see her.

[speakveryclearly]

[...welp hopefully Nepeta won't trace this back to her nope]

I'm going to be back on my shift soon.

[redheadcarrier]

What? Really? They're not going to listen to us! Why are you even bothering with these idiots?

[speakveryclearly]

No, I mean at the seamstress's shop. I'm earning room and board, there are only so many inns here.

[redheadcarrier]

That's ridiculous! Why should we have to work for these people?
