some night after snow planet

[whisted]

Are you busy?

[tombing]

not particularly
what's up?

[whisted]

I thought I might stop by.



[#casual]

[tombing]

[ that's. surprisingly casual. but lara's up for it. (is she assuming this is a booty call now? possibly.) ]

yeah, sure
you know where to find me

[whisted]

[First, she should absolutely teach him about booty calls. His education in casualness is clearly incomplete.

Second, and much less encouragingly, the quiet gloom will absolutely precede him down the hall before he's tapping at her door. Not the sexiest vibe, but not not Horatio's vibe.]

[tombing]

[ one day, she will absolutely teach him about booty calls. but with the quiet gloom about him, preceding him, it probably won't be today.

not a booty call then, clearly. ]

Hey.

[ head tipping to the side as she considers him. he seems gloomier than usual. ] What's up?

[whisted]

It's...

[It's hard to put his finger on. It's hard to unpack how much it had helped to have an old friend constantly at his elbow. It's almost as hard to explain why it soothes the ache to be standing here (or, at the very least, dulls it appreciably).]

...quiet.

[Which generally Horatio appreciates, but it's become deafening without Archie's breathing close at hand.]

@libertalia — misfire ;

[pilferings]

there's gotta be a way i can make it up to you

[tombing]

[ lara has no idea who this is or what it is that he or she needs to make up for, but she's —her hands keep turning translucid and her heart is beating too fast and this is a distraction. so: ]

probably, yeah
what did you have in mind?

[pilferings]

[ Well, that's ... mildly embarrassing.

There's no way around it, this message does sound like him, but he hasn't messed up this time. Yet.

Whatever. ]

oh wow i don't remember sending this

sorry

maybe save this for later when i do mess up, huh?

[tombing]

is that likely to happen?
because if it's not, i feel like i should insist now

[pilferings]

knowing me? probably

i have a knack for screwing things up

[tombing]

do you have a knack for making it up to people, too?

misfire???¿? » @drake

[snaffled]

😜Hi Lara, don't be shy, cuz I wanna shag you 🍑🍌💦. I'm Harry, send 💌 if u fancy me😜

[tombing]

[ does she know a drake does she know a harry, no?? anyway ]

not even going to try and buy me a drink first?

[snaffled]

( fuck's sake. this again, huh. not that it's gonna stop him from playing along. )

right where are my manners
how's this
send 🍸 if you fancy a drink

[tombing]

much better
and well, you've got me curious now
so 🍸

[snaffled]

( is this the fastest harry's ever gotten a date? probably. )

bar in 10?
or is this where you play coy and make me work for it

[tombing]

no, that part comes after you've bought me that drink

[ never mind that drinks, like everything else, are free on the danae ]

text | un: hornblower

[whisted]

He's back. He was still here this morning.

[He probably needs to explain, but he's also sort of... jittery and unfocused.]

[tombing]

which he are we talking about?

[whisted]

Archie.

He's older, but it's him.

[tombing]

[ oh. ]

does he remember?

[whisted]

He does not seem to.

[so.]

[tombing]

[ ah. ]

how are you doing?
