ɪ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ, ɢᴜᴛs ᴀɴᴅ ᴄʜᴏᴄᴏʟᴀᴛᴇ ᴄᴀᴋᴇ.

Date & Time: This afternoon
Location: A bar.
Characters: "Cat" and you.
Summary: Little girl hangs out at age-appropriate locations. Because that's how she rolls.


[ The girl sits at a table near the door. She has a good view of it and of the rest of the locale. She kicks her feet idly as she eats. The chair is too high for her to touch with anything but the very tip of her toes—and then only if she strains.

The owner had not been too pleased when she first began to frequent it, but she had not caused trouble and had money and had widened her eyes and jutted her lower lip and he had caved. Sometimes now he will even let her have a small cup of watered beer. She smiles and is sweet and he'll sit at the table with her when there aren't many patrons and entertain her with stories.

People like to hear themselves talk.

At the moment, she is alone. Her cup is near empty as is her plate. She takes her time. It is always cold and wet outside; she hung her cloak to dry on the chair beside her.

She shuffles a deck of cards one-handed. She has been practicing every day. The cards are as much an extension of her hands as her sword.

No, but the slight of hand? The way you hide movement, distract your mark. That is key.

Laying all your pieces on the table for your opponent to see is what gets you killed.

[ For a moment, the happy-hippy facade drops and Drift speaks earnestly, the almost whimsical inflection draining from his voice. ]

She said we were the only two from our world. I didn't correct her. Not that she's much trouble.
weapabilities: (Awhhhhyeah)

[ Drift only props his chin in his hands and gives her a stupid smile. ]

Alright.

But what do you say? Would you like to train with me?

( His smile is a little distant. )

Nothin', really. Stories are something y'share if you want to. If you don't, there's not a lot a' point.

Yeah, but they want the coin.

Fine line, that.

But y'know, the good thing 'bout stories? It's hard ta tell the lies from the truths.

Not at all. I got no reason ta.

[personal profile] freewoman 2013-03-28 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you will. [She gives a nod before watching her leave her seat.]

Okay, okay. No cheating of any kind.

Great. When would you like to start?
weapabilities: (Holoform - Ha!)

[personal profile] weapabilities 2013-03-30 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. Well, how about tomorrow?
