week 4, tuesday

[ravenry]

[ scien has his bread. shouxue has her baozi that she'll never pass up.

wherever he is working on something, she'll put a small box of bao near him as she puts one into her mouth. ]

Try one.

[ it's lotus seed filling because it's her favorite and it will remain her favorite even if the lotuses are what they are in the helly belly. it's fine.... ]

[egodist]

[scien tilts his head, looking up and then reaching out to accept]

The Busybody also likes these.

[baozi.... but he will eat one because he also liked it. he makes a little nod of acknowledgment, even though he's not polite enough to say thank you]

[ravenry]

[ she doesn't need a thanks as long as he eats it. ]

Busybody?

[ she doesn't keep track of his nicknames even if i do. ]

[egodist]

Detective Pearce.

[still doesn't call him by first name even though he obviously knows it]

[ravenry]

[ she makes a face. she doesn't think she agrees with this nickname, but she ultimately doesn't care either. ]

Does he try to feed you, too?

[egodist]

All of you have been this week, presumably because food is easier to get.

[scien will finish the baozi but will probably not take another. he's getting overfed.]

[ravenry]

Your habits leave a lot to be desired.

[ she doesn't say that as a censure, more like a fact (even thought it's an opinion).

that's fine if he doesn't take more. shouxue will happily stuff herself. ]

[egodist]

If I am the only one suffering from my choices, why should anyone else besides Dahut care?

[he'll admit dahut probably worries over his boss and his country's pseudo god as a reasonable concern]

[ravenry]

People care because they care about you.

[ she pops half a bun into her mouth. ]

Or they don't want to see anyone behave like that.

[egodist]

I'd rather have no one care for or see me in general, though that's less in my control here.

[he truly is so antisocial]

[ravenry]

I understand.

[ she does understand on some level even if it's not for the his same reasons. ]

We have too limited spaces. Maybe we will gain a location that you can lock yourself in and everyone else out.

[egodist]

That wouldn't be bad for a while...

[he misses his office]

But it would be inefficient. I don't need that much space, only solitude and people to have no expectations of our interactions.

[ravenry]

[ she isn't the type of person who shrugs, but she has a very shrugging feeling to what he just said. ]

Wouldn't people who talk to you for move than a minute come to that conclusion?

[egodist]

You would be surprised.

I try to be clear but people still expect more from me than they should.

[he's very straightforward..........]

[ravenry]

How odd. I find it easier to leave you alone.

[ she won't erase his terrible personality. ]

[egodist]

[ ? ]

But you still brought me food.
