November+December Catch-All

[loopsiedaisy]

Who: Siffrin (Shinx) + Shoka, Laios, Cedric, Chara, Anasui, Parvati

Where: Spire, Canopy, wherever various search quests take them
When: One thread backdated to October, otherwise throughout November (including during the snowstorm) and December
Warnings: Potentially Siffrin's warnings (definitely spoilers & alluded-to suicidal ideation in Shoka's thread), the usual quest peril

How would you know?

[They're just saying that to be nice, she assumes, but she can't help asking. Her voice is too weak to sound like much of an argument. Only after she's said it does it occur to her that she's not entirely sure if the Siffrin of now is even the type to say things to be nice.

Whether they are or not, she does appreciate those words, even if it's hard to take them to heart right now. At least she can believe that they mean that last part.

The piece of malasada finally disappears under her disguise rag.]

Either way... you definitely have weird taste.

Experience!

[Not a very satisfying answer. But now that they've said it, and they're thinking about... it would be a lot to explain.]

[So their next line starts off a bit more hesitant, then gets injected with confidence again.] If she really meant it - all she'd have had to do was avoid you! Not try to get away from everyone.

[And they're sticking to that.]

[And also... sticking their tongue out at Shoka.]

[Shoka eyes them for a moment before deciding that must be a story for another, less fraught day.]

... I guess... [She can't muster an argument against that, at least.] If you decided to talk to me again, then...

[Then maybe Noelle would, too? Not that the two situations are even alike. She lets the sentence trail off.]

... Thanks. Again... [Another scrap of malasada disappears into the void under her shroud.] It's good.
