UNSTOCKED MARKET

<sub>[All Elliot wanted was a carton of eggs. Not even a dozen, just half would've done. But there aren't any that he can find. For some reason they're entirely sold out, regardless of which stall he goes to, which only leaves him feeling frustrated, if not a little dejected. The thing about Olympia is that it's a lot more organized than Wyver (at least in his opinion) and there are a lot of things in the market Elliot's never really seen before. Especially in the fruit section.

The thing about being rich is that you really don't know where your food comes from most of the time, and there's one fruit in particular that has Elliot completely perplexed. He stands there, holding a pineapple, looking more than a little confused. It was so...weird?]</sub>

...Do people really eat these?

STRAYS

<sub>[He's really weak. Really, really weak.

To cats, that is.

This current, new furry friend is a stray gray cat with white paws that Elliot is currently infatuated with. So much so he's taken it upon himself to make sure no one is around him as he stands off to the side in an alleyway, crouched down to pet the friendly creature on the head. It's clear that for now nothing else matters other than the attention he's getting from this cat. He's totally blissed out even. Maybe you should let him be...

or tease him for it.]</sub>

You're so cute...do you have any friends?

TAVERN

<sub>[Somehow, Elliot had managed to strike a deal with the owner of a tavern not long ago. In exchange for performances on the establishment's piano he'd be allowed to stay there in one of the upstairs rooms. The same applied to Leo. He's just finished playing for the night and is more than a little tired, but he seems content enough to linger by the piano a little longer while patrons filter out of the tavern and toward the exit.

Maybe, just maybe, if you're polite enough and stick around he'll play you an encore.]</sub>

...Did you need something?

Comments

[yelliot]

_{[His arms aren't crossed anymore as he'd been pointing, accusingly, at his servant. The sudden yell back has him flinching before he's steeling himself, going a little pink.]}

O-Only because I pointed it out!

[flips]

Well, what do you want? I am trying to live normally but it's not enough for you. What do you want me to do?

[yelliot]

_{[Good question, what did he want?]}

What, do you just want to forget it ever happened? Is that what you're saying?

[flips]

I told you not to put words in my mouth.

[yelliot]

Then why don't you tell me what words you've got in your mouth then!

[flips]

Answer my question first.

[yelliot]

What question?

[flips]

What do you want?

[yelliot]

Does it matter what I want Leo? I don't know what I want! What do YOU what?!

[flips]

That's rich! You don't know what you want, yet you expect me to have all the answers in the world?!

[yelliot]

You always call me an idiot so clearly you're the smarter one!

_{[Ah...Leo's yelling...that means he has to yell louder.]}

[flips]

That doesn't mean I'm here to tell you what you want! YOU figure it out!!

[yelliot]

_{[Stupidity...at its finest.]}

YEAH WELL I CAN'T JUST WANT SOMETHING IF YOU DON'T WANT IT, CAN I? I CAN'T JUST SAY OH, LEO, IT'D BE NICE TO KISS YOU AGAIN, AND THEN YOU DECK ME IN THE FACE!

1/2

[flips]

[ AND THEN HE DOES GET DECKED IN THE FACE ]

[flips]

HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO WATCH WHAT YOU SAY, MORON?! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL! IF YOU JUST WANT TO KISS SOMEONE FOR THE SAKE OF KISSING GO OUT ON THE STREET!

1/2

[yelliot]

_{[A self-fulfilling prophecy...the world is truly cruel. Elliot immediately covers his soon to be bruised cheek, staring at Leo in shock.]}

[yelliot]

I'M THE MORON?! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL! AND HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW YOU FEEL IF YOU DON'T TELL ME?! IDIOT! STUPID! WHAT DO YOU TAKE ME FOR? SOME WHORE WHO WANTS TO GET OFF AND KISS THE FIRST PERSON THEY SEE?!

[flips]

ISN'T THAT WHAT IT IS?! I WAS CONVENIENTLY THERE AND NOW I'M CONVENIENTLY HERE!

[yelliot]

<sub>[Elliot goes...incredibly quiet then, holding his tongue for a moment.

Is that...really how Leo saw it?]</sub>

...Do you really believe that? That I'd use you like that?

[flips]

[ leo deflates when elliot does, guilt sinking in at the look on the other's face. he went too far. he regrets it.

but at the same time, maybe it's what elliot needed to snap himself out of it. ]

... You wouldn't use me. I know that.

But you don't know how you feel either and that's difficult for me to accept.

[yelliot]

_{[Elliot's arms find his chest once more as he sighs, moving to sit down on the edge of his bed.]}

I didn't say I don't know how I feel...I just don't know what words to use to explain it. _{[There's a pause again.]} I want to be close...to you...without getting punched for it.

[flips]

... And being close to me meant kissing?

[yelliot]

I thought it would be nice.

_{[Let him live.]}

[flips]

That's it?

[yelliot]

No that's not it!
