[He flips open to the page and Lup doesn't quite get the design at first. What's a bear paw got to do with-- Oh.

Oh.

The grin she shoots him is as shit-eating as they come.] Ho. Ly. Shit. Babe, that's gay.

[requiemshark]

[Ephemera huffs, giving her a playful nudge.]

Oh, shut up. You love it.

[restinglichface]

I do, but don't you dare tell anyone. I got a rep to keep up.

[requiemshark]

Batch atcha. [Ephemera knocks his head against hers briefly.] People think I'm all badass and scary. Appearances.

[He grins. Tips the sketchbook towards her.]

C'mon, tell me what you think.

[restinglichface]

[He knocks his head against hers and Lup laughs, sticking her tongue out at him... right before curling up closer, of course.]

S'nice. Like, stupid meaningful and shit. He'll love it. Somethin' to keep you two grounded to each other even when you aren't near.

[requiemshark]

Yeah.

[Ephemera's tone is soft and fond.]

You got a spell or something that'd help me tattoo it?

[restinglichface]

[Oh. For some reason, the request makes her a little warm, like she's a part of this happiness between them.]

I could probs come up with something. Gimme a few days. I'll chat with Taako, see what I've got.

[requiemshark]

You're the best, you know that?

[Ephemera nudges her gently.]

You want one? A tattoo. I can design one for you, if you want.

[restinglichface]

You better not just be realizing that, goobus.

[Hm. Now that's an idea. She's had them before, back during the cycles when her body would reset on the annual, when she'd get a new piercing every year, but Lup's never had one that would last. It's not a bad idea.]

You know, I might take you up on that.

[requiemshark]

[Ephemera huffs, grinning. He likes this, having Lup next to him. Talking like this. She's safe and even more importantly, he understands her. In a lot of ways, she reminds him of Chica. They have that same sort of energy. Fucking untouchable.

And unlike Chica, Lup got back up after she died.]

Yeah? I'll have to start sketching. It'll be fun.

[restinglichface]

[Hey, thanks for ruining my life.]

Shit with us always is. Alright, alright. That's enough friggin' sap. Can we drink and go set someone on fire? Like old times?

[requiemshark]

Oh, fuck yes. I have tequila. We are doing shots. Hey, you wanna try the flamethrowers?

[restinglichface]

[Watch the woman throw her hands up over her head and quickly chant "shots! shots! shots!" like she's in a LMFAO music video.]

Why the fuck not? I'll give anythin' a try at least once. Thing looks pretty fun.

[requiemshark]

[Ephemera laughs, nudging her again.]

Then get off me, you oaf, and I'll provide the booze.

[restinglichface]

[Lup quickly scoots away, but only so she can throw her legs up on the couch and give the man a playful shove with her feet right into his side, trying to push him off.

Definitely siblings.]

I demand booze!

[requiemshark]

Pushy, pushy, [Ephemera teases, though he gets up and retreats into the kitchen. Alcohol it is. He returns with a bottle and stack of shot glasses.]

C'mon, we're gonna be classy about this shit.

[They're going to get absolutely wasted, is what they're going to do.]
