[Taako is a very good friend who politely looks up at the ceiling while she gets changed, even though a hundred years together meant they've seen way more of each other than they really needed to.

When she speaks again, he looks back at her and his expressions shifts to a very familiar smug one.]

Cha boy knows what he's doing.

[Also he owns a lot of miniskirts?? Which are not Lucretia's style.

He moves to sit on her bed, bringing his legs up to sit cross-legged (he took off his boots at some point while he was rummaging through his wardrobe).]

Now we've got that outta the way, who's the lucky lady? Do I know her? Is she cute? Should Lup and I make sure to pretend to be in bed by the time y'all get home?

[scholiast]

I suppose he does. (She's fussing with the straps of the camisole while she looks in the mirror, trying to get them to lay flat. Oh, boy. Here come the questions. She can tell even before Taako opens his mouth.

Lucretia sighs, and glances at his reflection in the mirror.)

Her name is Bill, (she starts, matter-of-factly,) and you might know her? She's very cute. And no, because it's just a walk and a trip to the market, it isn't... like that.

[spellslots]

[Oh, Bill! He likes Bill!

Taako's smile widens, looking almost like a little kid on Candlenights, except a little kid who cusses a lot and teases his friend about her sex life.]

Hey, you never know where the night might take you. [But no, he knows Lucretia.] Bill's pretty rad, we went clubbing together, she's into girls, for sure.

[Just in case that was a concern.]

[scholiast]

Maybe. (She walks back over to him but doesn't sit because she doesn't want to crease the pants, so she just stands there and twists her hands together nervously.)

Um, yeah I know. I figured, because she explicitly stated taht only girls were allowed to... um, bid on her in the auction.

(Her voice gets kind of small near the end there, and eventually trails off.)

[spellslots]

[There is a tiny little war that happens in Taako's head, where part of him wants to tease her about that, but another part knows that if he does, she's going to get all flustered and doubt herself and probably make the date awkward.

And as much as he'd love to torment Lux, he doesn't want to ruin her date by souring the mood.]

Well hey, my auction date went pretty well, I bet yours will be great.

[scholiast]

You didn't tell me about your auction date.

(She latches onto that real quick, relieved that he's refraining from teasing her.) Who was it with?

[spellslots]

You were off on your thing, and then Magnus showed up and that kinda seemed more important, ya know?

[He knows this is a diversion tactic, but decides to let her have it (for now).]

It was with Rin, the drow? I dunno if you guys have like, met.

[scholiast]

(What is with these twins and Rin. Lucretia makes a face.)

I know him. I'm glad you had a good time.

[spellslots]

We ruined some dipshit's day.

[They had a great time, but he doesn't miss her expression.]

What's the look for, bubbale?

[scholiast]

How lovely.

(Her suspicions are being confirmed rn Taako!!)

Oh, nothing. I just– we had a strange first meeting. I don't trust him.

[spellslots]

[Now it's his turn to make a face.]

Define strange, cause like, he seems like a pretty nice dude to me.

[Very dramatic and kind of intense, but that's not bad.]

[scholiast]

(Lucretia knows this is going to sound stupid the moment she opens her mouth.)

He was doing this card trick game at one of the speed friending afternoons and he used magic to cheat information out of me. I think.

(She's, like, eighty percent sure.)

[spellslots]

[Okay, well, that's kind of a dick move but also...]

You know that sounds like shit I'd do, just with money instead of info.

[Info is boring to Taako. He can't buy cute clothes with information.]

[scholiast]

Yeah but I know you, so it's fine.

(Not entirely true, but surely he gets what she means.)

[spellslots]

[He opens his mouth to protest that, but then seems to actually think about it and decides that yeah, he gets what she means.]

I'll be careful, bubbale. I always am.

[Well.... that's not always true, but whatever.]

It's not like it's a thing anyway, we're just friends. It's kinda just nice having another elf to hang out with, and someone who gets like - our world. A world like ours.

[scholiast]

I know what you mean. When I first saw him there it... reminded me of home. That's why I went to talk to him.

(She shrugs.) I'm glad you can have that, though. It's strange, seeing so many humans around.

[spellslots]

I miss dwarves, you know?

[It's not really... directly addressing the rest of what she said, but that's just how he rolls sometimes.]

Like there are some, but I'm so used to having Merle hanging around it feels fucking weird.

[scholiast]

I know. He's just always there, y'know?

(It's all good. She figures he probably doesn't want to talk about home, which is fine.)

Ditto Barry and Davenport. It's kind of like we're just in another cycle where they kicked it, huh.

[spellslots]

[Barry and Davenport are much more complicated, but he doesn't let it sink in.]

A cycle where they kicked it but we're not stuck on the fucking Starblaster, which is a mercy if there ever was one.

[scholiast]

I dunno, I don't really mind it so far.

Though I do enjoy having a bigger room all to myself, for sure.

[spellslots]

I'm pretty into the kitchen.

[But! As much as he'd love to keep chatting, Lucretia does have a date to get to.]

Who's in charge of your make up?

[scholiast]

I am.

(But she's only planning on filling in her brows and maybe putting mascara on, nothing too dramatic.)

[spellslots]

You suuuure? I can give you some sweet wings?

[Which is also not dramatic! He knows her well enough to know he won't sell her on a full face.]

[scholiast]

(She grins, a little nervously. Sure, if she's let him choose the outfit she may as well go the whole way.)

Sure. D'you want to do my hair, too? (its a joke she has very short hair.)

[spellslots]

[It's a joke but it's also a Mistake, because as soon as Lucretia asks the question, Taako snaps his fingers.

And her hair is now baby blue to match her top.]

Perfect.
