[ She laughs, but not maliciously. She just can't help it! But, taking the joint back she hops up and fetches him something to drink. ]

Sorry, [ about laughing ] it helps to chug something when that happens.

[ With the drink handed off, she takes another hit for herself, holding in the smoke for a moment and then letting it stream out her nostrils as she laughs some more. ]

If you have a mind to, you'll get better at it.

No.

[ One of these days she'll stop ruining her own jokes by smiling through them, but today is not that day. ]

Yeah, of course you can.
sulahnan: (smirk)

[ It takes until after she hands off the joint for Athessa to realize he means Batty Batkins. As if there were some new, interloping giant bat in the room. ]

Oh! That's Batty Batkins. Me n' Mhavos found him a while back, [ She moseys over to Barty and gives him a few affectionate scritches. ] I decided to take him in.

[ Batty Batkins chitters happily about the scritches, and Athessa let's out a soft scoff. ]

Hardly. Best I can figure is someone used magic to make him like this, and then he got loose. The type of bat he is seems to be a relative of the tent making bats they have in Rivain, [ She returns to the pillow she was sitting on before and approximates the size of the Rivaini bats with two fingers. Barely bigger than a coin. ] Which are about this big and brown with stripes.

[ She takes the joint back and ashes it into the fire before taking another slow drag. ]

I think it's probably difficult here, too, but I don't know how it's done at all. What does it take in your world?

[ That's a funny way to not drink a drink, Richard, what on earth? ]
sulahnan: (yeah ok)

[ Athessa nods, and nods, and continues nodding even after he's done speaking, but remembers to stop nodding right about the time Richard chuckles. ]

Sounds pre-tty similar to me. You have much experience with that kinda stuff?
sulahnan: (yeah ok)

[personal profile] sulahnan 2020-03-19 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, no kidding. ]

I think... I am, yeah. There've been a few others but they've all gone now.
sulahnan: (I chase the memory of it still)

[ Good because he has to wait until she takes another before she hands it over. ]

Well, there'd be no point in leaving, would there? It's not like abandoning the war effort would make it go away, and I don't have any family to return to.

[ That's not about to change when the war is over, but better to save the world and be lonely later than be lonely now and watch the world burn. Or something. ]

[ Fire is so interesting, isn't it? The way it dances and warms and burns. It's like...a living thing. ]

Deceased. Coming up on...eighteen years, now?

[ She scoots down to lay more or less horizontal, propped up by her cushion and staring hazily up at the ceiling. It's all very casual, matter-of-fact. ]

I'm the last of my clan. Other Dalish treat me like a child because I didn't get my rites, and city elves hate me, so actually... both deceased and estranged.

[ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

Thanks, [is a thing people say in response. ]

Do you have family back home?

[ Sure she'll take the last hit, prone, before flicking the roach into the fire. She tries again to blow rings and some of them kind of almost look good! Wow. ]

Rites of passage. When Dalish elves come of age, we get a symbol of the god that represents our values tattooed on our face. Going through it without making a sound is kind of proof that you're ready for adulthood.

[ The more she thinks about it, the more she has to wonder how different she might've been if she'd been able to earn that rite. Would she be happier? ]

Are you sad about not having much-or-as-such a family? [ Just to gauge how sad she should be for him. ]

[ Athessa gestures noncommitally at roughly the speed you'd expect from someone neck deep in treacle. ]

Not unless another clan wants to take pity on me, but I'm not even sure I'd want it, anyway.

[ She turns her head to regard him, her expression of awe muted by the elfroot haze and the languid relaxation it brings. The structural integrity of a Beanie Baby™. ]

I wish I could be not sad about stuff. Is that on purpose?
