shitposting rave 4: (almost) anything goes

"Mostly Pennarines, and mostly members of my pride. But it is nice to see you here. There are actually not as many Talassani in my pride as you might think!"

"Your ... ex? I don't think I quite understood?"

 

She dated the same lady as her daughter is with now.

 

Angela, yes. Our friend here has the right of it.

 

I'm Clover.

 

Thank you. I'll make sure to remember it. Oh, it might get lost for a bit but it'll come back. I assure you, Shamrock.

 

-She wrinkles her nose, unamused.-

Sure thing, Maria.

 

Well Pines isn't a Talassani name so I'm not too surprised! You mentioned Clover as a sister and she looks... Terran? Is that the one? -she keeps stretching and curling her toes-

 

Oh, dear, she didn't misunderstand it at all. Well, people in different worlds do things differently, don't they? They certainly do.

"Ah, yes, I can see how that could be awkward," Valiska says lightly.

 

-chuckles happily about that-

That's a good girl. Sassing your elders.

 

Give me a moment and I can make it even more so. My mother will be rolling in her grave.

 

-Clover tosses Ana a can of sparkling strawberry juice.-

 

Aren't you the kind one? Thank you, dear.

Tea?

-she is grabbing a cup and pouring out tea already. it is set down near to clover and ana opens the juice.-

 

Naw, I've got a drink, but thank you.

-Shit. Would it be rude to not drink? Clover takes a courtesy sip of tea.-

 

Nonsense. You can always have tea. Sugar? Mint?

 

Uh, no, I'm fine, thank you.

 

"That's okay," Valiska says quietly. "As long as everyone concerned is all right with it..."

It's really not okay. But she likes these people and thank all the gods it is not her problem.

 

You're sure? Alright then.

-she is satisfied by the one sip at the tea so the sweetener is not pushed-

We seem to be. Angela and Fareeha are happy enough, and that's well for me. I just want to see my daughter happy, you know. Safe too.

 

-Clover goes back to drinking her juice. It was good tea but she wants juice.-

 

-you escape through the webs of hospitality now young child. but you will fall someday. that you will. but for now we bide our time and drink this juice you gave-

 

"Of course," Valiska says. That they can agree on. She just...can't fathom how anyone could look at a lover's kits as potential mates when they were grown. You'd still remember...
