6th Jewel Seed [In Person]

[hasilluminate.livejournal.com]

[Fate's in the kitchen again, and she doesn't exactly look like she's gotten much more sleep since the Author had "misplaced" her. The small mage is standing there, staring blankly at the food with a knot in her throat. She's aware she should eat something, but she's a bit too upset, and weighing the odds that anything she eats will stay down. Equally, there's nothing truly appealing to her in there.

She was conflicted, too. Alicia's favorite foods had always been sweet, but sweets didn't appeal to Fate in large amounts, too cloying and heavy for her tastes. Should she have liked sweets more? After all, she was a creation, modeled after Alicia... Fate shakes her head a little, as if to clear it, and starts to leave the kitchen. There's something gnawing at her stomach, but it's not really hunger.]

[Honestly if this week could go ahead and end Badou would be more than thrilled, grateful enough to do a damn rain dance even. Those are his thoughts as he marches, head held high, back ramrod straight, into the kitchen; only to come face to face with another human being. Great. He has to come up with some sort of quick, easy explanation for his stupid pirate costume, right?] Shit...no I ain't gonna hop out of a cake or do bachelor parties, this ain't my day job, y'know...go look for clowns if you want somethin' like that.

[His pokerface is in great use this round as he then sidesteps the girl and makes a beeline for the random bowl of assorted candies on the counter, using his peg arm (thanks to the costume option and all, that was quite a thing to wake up to and he of course had to make sure other things hadn't been peg'd) to scootch the bowl over in order to stuff his face, noisily crunching on the candy. He pauses a second later and looks towards Fate, distress written on his face] Ah damn, these ain't got laxatives in them, do they? You coulda told me that before, jeeez...

...Oh my god this is amazing. SHE HAS NO IDEA HOW TO REACT.

[There is a strange man in her path. You have successfully confused the nine-year-old with what you're saying, getting her to blink and just-- stare for a moment.]

I-- wouldn't know if they do or not... [Fate seriously looks like she just wants to bolt. Have you ever seen a kicked puppy, Badou? If so, that body language is probably disturbingly familiar. She's torn between staying here because running would be rude... ...and just bolting to go hide in her room.] ...Sorry...

foidahoidhg p. much Badou's M.O in life

[Since the girl seems to be having some heart to heart with herself or something, Badou's just gonna lazily drag a barstool over to his ass and pop a squat, still crunching away even with the risk of laxatives or hell, even poison. He's a smart guy. The girl's words finally register]

Mmm well, 'm sure you'll know when you see me high tailin' it for the shitter. Least it'll be worth it.

[He cocks his head to one side quizzically, mouth open, candy spilling out, jeeezuz] For what? I was just joshin' ya kid, I doubt you spiked the stuff, you don't really look the type. The doe eyes're deadly, y'know.

XD

[It's more that she doesn't know what to make of you. At all.] ...Doe... eyes? [You know, Badou, that's just getting her to do it worse. She's just... fidgeting with her clothes and still seriously debating the merits of running off.]

[notkinkypatch.livejournal.com]

[Well Badou doesn't exactly know what to make of her either, so he just gives her a sideways glance and keeps chompin' away]

Yeah like, I know you probably ain't gonna turn out to be some kid all gun ho about shankin' anybody when the curtains come down or whatever. [Badou!shrug] Innocent. <[Notices the fidgeting] ....So are you gonna have some or what? Pretty sure the candy thing takes the whole van outta the equation...I can't eat it all myself.

[Fate is just shaking her head.] I don't... [...Except maybe Fate shouldn't say something that makes her different from Alicia...] Um, I'm not hungry right now...

[notkinkypatch.livejournal.com]

[Badou shrugs his narrow shoulders and pops a chocolate m&m into his mouth, chewing with his mouth open, the whole charming nine yards, and sends her a quizzical look]

Then why were ya in here in the first place? Unless this is where you're hidin' some kinda stash. That ain't a bad idea, actually...[He's thoughtful as he munches]
Oh well, suit yourself kid, more for me. An' they're sooooo damn good too, mmm-mm!

[Have some asshole-y exaggerating chewing motions]

[hasilluminate.livejournal.com]

[Really the more Fate sees of sweets the more queasy she gets.] I was just... looking, I guess. [Because normal kids come into kitchens when they're not hungry to stare at food, right?]

[notkinkypatch.livejournal.com]

[Mid munching and messing up the counter and just ignore the scratches his peg arm did, it dawns on him and his eye widens] Ooooohhh. I get it now.
Damn, I'm a dick. My bad, kiddo. If I knew you were on a diet I wouldn't of tempted you. I know how particular you chicks are about that sorta shit. So I'm doin' you a favor, then! [And so he beams and resumes]
