"...aye. And if you want to talk about this later, that's fair."

"Just... you're important to me."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Mar 02, 2020 8:30 pm

"I've said more or less what I can say on the subject," Tereza says, obviously still trying to be soothing. "But here comes the food, we can certainly talk later."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Mar 02, 2020 9:07 pm

"Sorry. Not meaning to cause problems, here."

She looks to the arriving food.

"Smells delicious."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Mar 02, 2020 11:58 pm

"A little heavy handed with the garlic," Tereza whispers after the waitperson leaves, "but that may just be my nose."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Mar 03, 2020 12:19 am

"So I'll have to brush my teeth before I go back to my room," she chuckles.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Mar 03, 2020 12:45 am

"Probably would be polite to the enhanced senses," she nods, digging into her food.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Mar 03, 2020 12:49 am

"I don't even know if she's got a problem with garlic, but I'm not keen to find out," she smirks as she does the same.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Mar 03, 2020 1:14 am

"Yeah, probably not one of those things you want to find out the hard way."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Mar 03, 2020 7:13 pm

"Besides, I used up all my roommate capital giving her nasty looks when she called you my lap dog."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Mar 03, 2020 7:20 pm

Tereza tilts her head and shrugs, "As good a thing to spend it on as any, I guess."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Mar 03, 2020 8:57 pm

"You know, sometimes it surprises me what does roll off your back."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Mar 03, 2020 9:00 pm

"What do you mean?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Mar 03, 2020 9:07 pm

"I mean obviously you're not exactly... carefree? I just don't always get what makes you cross and what doesn't."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Mar 03, 2020 10:35 pm

"Well, I mean, in this case, she's not exactly wrong. That's part of the disagreement, right?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Mar 03, 2020 10:54 pm

"Did we not confirm that I don't see you as a pet?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Mar 03, 2020 11:13 pm

"Yes," she says with an exasperated sigh.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Mar 03, 2020 11:17 pm

"Sorry. I'm being difficult again, aren't I?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Mar 03, 2020 11:37 pm

"A bit," Tereza admits.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Mar 03, 2020 11:42 pm

"Just... kind of fresh," she sighs.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 12:18 am

"Sorry, didn't mean to add to it," Tereza says, focusing on her food.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 12:19 am

"It's not your fault in the slightest."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 12:40 am

It can't always be your fault.

"This is a little spicier than I thought it was going to be," she says, sipping at her water.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 2:12 am

Sam frowns a bit at that passing thought, but the last thing she wants is to make things worse.

"I like that they're not pulling their punches on the seasoning."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 2:44 am

"They could have pulled the punch a bit on this," she says, "I prefer my spice to be more of a slow burn."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 2:52 am

"You want a bite of mine? The bechamel tames it down a bit."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 2:57 am

"No, it's okay. I think I'll just have to order some creamy dessert."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 3:24 am

"Aye, they had a few," Sam says as she brushes an errant lock out of her face. There seem to be a few white hairs in it.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 3:37 am

Tereza glances at the stray lock, but doesn't say anything about it, instead finishing a bit more of her food before pushing it away.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 3:39 am

"Ready for dessert already?" She quirks a paling brow.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 3:41 am

"Not yet. Just... done eating," she says with a sigh.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 3:45 am

"Should I flag down the waitress to get that boxed up?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 3:48 am

Tereza shakes her head, "I hate to waste it, but I don't think I'll finish it."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 6:20 pm

Sam's brow furrows briefly, and more white hairs start to emerge.

"...I'll make sure it doesn't go to waste."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 6:39 pm

"Okay," Tereza says, eyeing Sam's hair with some uncertainty before glancing at her own slightly streaked hair.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 7:13 pm

"I just wouldn't want you to..."

She closes her eyes with a brief wince, and then suddenly all her hair darkens to black.

"...there. That should do it," she says as her eyes open and regard Tereza.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 7:36 pm

Tereza raises an eyebrow, "Should do what?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 7:39 pm

"I've sent them to their corners for now."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 7:41 pm

"That didn't really answer my question," she says, tapping her fingers on the table.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 7:44 pm

"Oh that's right, you usually don't see me, do you?"

"Macha," she says, holding out her hand across the table.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Wed Mar 04, 2020 7:48 pm

"Pleasure," Tereza says in a polite, controlled tone, looking at the hand and then back up at 'Sam's' face. "I've heard the name before. In my reading somewhere, I think."
