[THEY ARE AT THE LIGHTHOUSE, admiring its majesty. Maybe they took some drinks with them from the bar. Richie's not an alcoholic but shit, if it's free? He's partaking a little more than usual. Not that he's been pregaming or anything.]

Kind of implies that we're expecting more company at some point, doesn't it?

[florescences]

[ elysia is a social drinker, at best, but she will keep him company because that's what she does.

and because we want biting to happen. ]

Because we've gotten more places to run around in?

[gutterbound]

Because a lighthouse is meant to hail ships in.

[He waves a hand out to the sea.]

I mean, it can't all just be ocean forever.

[florescences]

Some things could just be for the aesthetic, but.... a train did come to the train station, so a ship could come to this beach.

[gutterbound]

Would you be into that?

[He glances to her, one brow raised.]

Ship travel. Cruises or whatever. Surely you've spent a little time on the wide open sea in your lifetime.

[your extremely long life]

[florescences]

Sure. I had to travel for what I had to do. Soldiers are deployed.

[gutterbound]

Soldiers?

[florescences]

I am—or was one. Combat is one of my skills.

[gutterbound]

[in that outfit.......

Richie takes a sip of his drink.]

No offense, Missy Lyssy, but I wouldn't have pegged you for it. Not in a million years.

[florescences]

[ she laughs a little. she's not offended at all. ]

A little surprise is good for health. I know my appearance can be deceiving.

[gutterbound]

That part of the military strategy? Blind them with a girl who — what was it? Is as Gorgeous as Dancing Petals?

[florescences]

[ she winks. ]

It could be.

[ she shakes her head. ]

The Honkai doesn't care about that. The way it threatens humanity is many, and appearances don't have much to do with it.

[gutterbound]

And the "Honkai" are the baddies in this equation, I take it.

What do you do then? All guns and artillery, projectiles...

[florescences]

Yeah, all of that. Weapon development is always in the works.

[gutterbound]

So you ran the big guns? My god, Miss Els, you're damn dangerous woman. Should I be afraid?

[He takes another sip and something strange and glassy comes over his expression. He goes silent.



Then leans over and nips her on the juncture of neck and shoulder. Enjoy your belated sinjury.]

[florescences]

[ whoa making my strip check a lie.....

she stills a bit in surprise. she saw the change in his expression, but that was still too random for her. ]

Richie? What was that?

[gutterbound]

[It was also too random for him. There's a quarter second more of blankness. And then suddenly he's flinching back.

Hopping onto his feet even, backing up, hands up.]

I — Jesus I don't — god I don't know what came over me! I swear, Els I wouldn't...you gotta believe me, I wouldn't!

[florescences]

[ she holds up a hand to say it's fine. she smiles to reassure. ]

I know. It's okay. I believe you. People have been adding oddly after eating or drinking something, but I didn't think...

That's just so weird.
