(Lucretia is turning a corner into the market when something bowls sharply into her legs. She blinks and stumbles back, looking down: it's a child, a little elf with a pastry clutched in his fist. The vendor is yelling in the distance, and it doesn't take long for her to put two and two together: she promptly side-steps in front of the little kid, hiding him from view with her long robes.

When the vendor comes stalking through she simply stands in place until he's left, making a ploy out of checking her phone, tapping at nothing on a blank screen until he's passed. The whole thing has actually reminded her of Taako, and actually has his network name pulled up before she realises that she can't message him right now. Or rather, shouldn't. Not when she's like this.

It's on that somber note that she puts her phone away, glancing down and behind her as she steps forwards.)


Are you alright?

name one other sad thread weve done

No, I... don't think so.

(But he does seem familiar. He's got the same colour hair as Taako now that she's looking at him properly, the same nose. Maybe that's just an elf thing, though?

The way he's tearing into his food is breaking her heart a little bit; little kids shouldn't ever be so hungry that they have to resort to stealing.)


Are you hungry? I can get you some food if you'd like more.

thats what i thought!

(Lucretia almost laughs.)

So you don't have to keep taking it and nearly getting caught? (Standing here in the middle of a market place and talking to an elf child abruptly makes her miss Faerûn; a strange thought. The memories that she has of it are fond.)

>:P

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-06-21 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
I don't! I just– I would feel uncomfortable if I knew a child was going without enough to eat, that's all.

(His suspicion is both endearing and sad auuaughgh)
scholiast: <user name=sloanecakes site=tumblr.com> (★ i'll consider it)

big lie

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-06-21 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Lucretia.

How about you? (Hopefully he's not so sus that he won't withhold that information from her?)

yfip: justine

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-06-21 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
(She opens her mouth to say thanks, but says nothing, and closes it again. Opens it again.)

Taako? (Like, from TV? Well, at least she isn't elf racist or something: this little kid looks exactly like Taako because he... is. Huh. The chalice must have got to him.

Lucretia has been standing and staring for a good thirty seconds now. Eventually she catches herself, clearing her throat.)


It's uh– it's good to meet you, Taako.
scholiast: <user name=wheresmytabletpen site=tumblr.com> (☆ i dont like lup what are you)

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-06-21 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
(She doesn't know how she'd possibly go about explaining this in a way that would be satisfying, so she just... lies.)

No. (All the while super aware that Taako basically invented lying.)

Do... do you want to go get something to eat?

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-06-21 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
(But she said it with a straight face and everythingggg cmon)

Course. Want to go through the stalls and pick something out?
scholiast: <user name=ursminor site=tumblr.com> (★ no diamonds)

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-06-21 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
It's called the Quarantine, (she explains, as they meander through the various stalls together, Taako all but hanging off her sleeve.)

And it's quite far from home, I'm afraid.
scholiast: <user name=lesbianvoidfish site=tumblr.com> (★ we deserve this huh)

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-06-21 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
(Even though he's much younger, it's still just like having Taako about; that and Lucretia's mind is partly elsewhere, and so she answers automatically:)

No, she isn't.

(It's strange to think of Lup as being... dead, now. Or that she will die eventually, in a more permanent fashion.)
scholiast: <user name=aggressivebagel site=tumblr.com> (☆ GULP)

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-06-21 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
(She blinks, and looks down at him nervously. Well, so much for that.

Let present Taako never, ever find out about this, because he will surely laugh her right out of Quarantine.)


Oh– well... (Stuff it, she can't be bothered coming up with any more lies.) Well, uh. Yes. I do know you, in a way. And I know your sister too.
scholiast: <user name=anonbeadraws site=tumblr.com> (☆ it’s not a lacking of spine)

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-06-21 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
(She nods slowly, startled at how quick he's caught on.)

Yes. Much older.

(And then she smiles, suddenly.) How old do you think I am?
scholiast: <user name=anonbeadraws site=tumblr.com> ((young) no more dying)

[personal profile] scholiast 2017-06-21 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
(Yeah it's kind of a trick, made obvious by the way she's grinning.)

I sure am.
