[This still sounds like a terrible idea!!]

For sure, I'll give it a shot. But I'll be sticking my hand in the on-fire horse before anyone else does, 'kay?

[Just in case it doesn't work.]

[pundemic]

[She blinks. And then,]

Oh my god, you are totally being protective of me right now.

[She says that like it's the weirdest fucking thing that's happened to her all week. Maybe all month?]

[spellslots]

Nope, nuh uh, I'm just making sure the fucking cops don't come after me for letting you get set on fire. I'm looking out for Taako here.

[Don't call him out like this, Ellie.]

[pundemic]

[No, it's just.

It's just.

Maybe one of the first times in her life she doesn't have to fight for it. It isn't like Marlene, protecting her because she might be the cure to the Infection. And Joel... she had to bleed for that.

Give her a second she has to loudly sniff and wipe her eyes thank god this is audio only. She doesn't even know why she reacts like that. Maybe it's some side effect of all her fucked up emotions after David. Maybe it's a lot of things.

Fuck.]

Right. Can't have that, can we?

[A watery pause.]

You gonna come along or what?

[spellslots]

[Ah, shit. It really is lucky this is just audio, because this way he can pretend that he can't hear the way she sniffles and the change in tone. Caring about people is hard, because all it does is open him up for getting fucked over, and he doesn't want to think that Ellie would do something like that, but he's not... great at trusting people.

But here he fucking is anyway.

Gods.]

I do have an image to maintain.

[So that's why he can't admit that he's being protective, it all makes sense.]

Lemme get my shit, where am I meeting you?

[pundemic]

Uh... I dunno yet. [She is still rubbing her palm against her eye socket like it's going to help.] he hasn't gotten back to me. Why don't you swing by my place and we'll go from there?

[spellslots]

Should I bring oats? Do magic fire horses like oats?

[It seems like a good a plan as any, also he's stalling just a tiny bit to give Ellie time to collect herself.]

[pundemic]

[If she knew what he was doing she'd probably appreciate it. As it stands, she still thinks she's being Super Subtle about this whole emotional upset thing.]

I dunno. Let's find out?

[What harm could it bring, really?]



[ooc; wanna do a 3way maybe? i tossed the question at ivar's player so if everyone agrees we can do that!]

[spellslots]

[There's the sound of someone rifling thought cupboards on the other end of the line, as Taako grabs the bag of rolled oats and shoves them into his bag, along with anything else he thinks might be useful.]

Okay, all good on the oats front and the magic front. I'll be at yours in a second, better get started undoing those traps.

[Jokes!! To distract Ellie from having feelings.]

[pundemic]

[With mock-exasperation,]

Yes, mom.

[spellslots]

That's "Mr. Mom sir" to you.

[He's a shit.]

[pundemic]

[She is probably STILL rolling her eyes in exasperation by the time he knocks on her door. Probably. Even so, she pulls it open and steps out into the hallway with him.

Her eyes are barely even red.]

C'mon. He wants to meet us by the forest.

[spellslots]

Alright, let's do this shit.

[He gestures for her to go on ahead, and she's definitely going to get her hair ruffled as she goes past.]

[pundemic]

[rude as shit, Taako, her hair's in a messy enough ponytail already.

she tells him about Ivaar as they go. Some of it's a warning (after all, she likes the guy so far but he's kind of psychotic) and some of it's just talking about cool Viking shit just to bring him up to speed, but the end result is that he'll have a pretty good idea about who he's facing once they reach magical fire-pony land.]
