[ Ivy is typing. . . ]

[and he will, passing through the kitchen first to put on some tea]

[ifyoulive]

[ five minutes later, knock knock

looks like she hasn't slept since the performance yesterday ]

[throughbamboo]

[he's slept, but he still looks pretty pale from all the blood loss.

Still, he opens the door and just steps aside to let her in]

Kitchen's that'a way.

[ifyoulive]

[ looks both ways before stepping in, almost like she's expecting to be jumped ]

You look. . . less shit than before.

[throughbamboo]

Y'look 'bout the same way I feel.

[ifyoulive]

Yeah?

[throughbamboo]

Yeah. Did ya sleep last night, kid?

[ifyoulive]

[throughbamboo]

Mmm, thought so.

[heads into the kitchen to get the tea]

[ifyoulive]

[ fOLLOWS HIM DON'T LEAVE HER STANDING AWKWARDLY IN THE MIDDLE OF FORGE ]

[throughbamboo]

[pouring them both cups, then nodding for her to sit]

Most of Forge is restin' or out, so no one'll bother us.

[ifyoulive]

You could have opened with that.

[ sits (poutily) ]

[throughbamboo]

[slowly takes a seat himself, putting the tea in front of her]

Even if they were here they wouldn't, honestly.

[ifyoulive]

Must be nice.

[throughbamboo]

[ifyoulive]
