[shipper]

[her mouth twists up in a manner that indicates she's really not buying any of this]

I don't know, I think that food being in my mouth is the most purrfect complement it could pawsibly have.

[glowsferatu]

It's about completing a palette, Nepeta. A painting isn't complete with only one color.

[shipper]

It sounds like you've nefur seen a really good painting with one color.

[glowsferatu]

That, and I'm reasonably certain that they don't exist to begin with.

[shipper]

I used to do tons of them! They were all purrfect.

[glowsferatu]

I'm sure they must have been!

[ kanaya laughs lightly as he finishes setting the infuser in the kettle, the fish having been put on a plate that hasn't yet left her hand (she's tall enough it can stay out of reach this way, since everyone knows cats aren't allowed on the counter). then the skillet is in the sink and she's checking on the rice again. ]

[shipper]

I should make some fur you sometime soon so that you can see.

[having finally acknowledged that she's not getting any delicious food in advance, Nepeta begins rifling through the drawers for cutlery so that she can begin setting the table. if they're going to be unnecessarily fancy then she's going to help god dammit!!!]

[glowsferatu]

I wasn't sure you had anything available to make them with. I could make a few acquisitions along those lines, if you need them.

[ the rice seems to be finished, so she goes ahead and scoops out a bit to give it a sniff, but not a taste. hard to taste test when you can taste it, so she hopes everything's in order as she scoops out a bit more onto the plate and moves it toward the table. ]

The tea still needs a few minutes more to steep.

[shipper]

Oh, I'd like that a lot! I haven't really been drawing much lately, and that'd be a nice reunion gift for you.

[lately means since they were all parted, but it's the sort of understatement that Nepeta's found herself making more and more frequently. it was better to soften the reality of her life, she's found; the truth is less important when it comes to her when the price of it is friends' peace of mind.

the cutlery clinks against the porcelain of the plates as she circles the table and sets things in their place]

[glowsferatu]

I'll have to buy you some in the morning. That at least should provide us good excuse for a later meeting.

[ it's been about the same amount of time since kanaya had done any sort of sketching or truly involved sewing. the plain black dress she wore now betrayed how large a hit her fashion sense had taken from both a change in priorities and a need to hide her identity.

she brings nepeta's plate and the teapot to the table before taking her seat. ]

[shipper]

I'd like that a lot! Although I don't think that I really need a good excuse to meet up with you again.

[Nepeta waits until Kanaya is seated before reaching for the teapot, pouring herself a steaming cup with the barely contained expression of someone who has been waiting a very long time for this. her hands dance to the sugar bowl, picking up far too much to dump into her tea; even through all of the disasters, some things never change]

[glowsferatu]

[ once nepeta's done with the teapot, kanaya pours her own cup. she doesn't bother with sugar, cream, or any other additives, she just takes it plain. it wouldn't change the taste for her anyway. ]

I should hope we wouldn't, but knowing the different directions our lives have taken us, sometimes an added incentive can be helpful.

[shipper]

All you'd need as an incentive to see me is a desire to take a walk in the park! I'm pretty easy to find if you know where to look.

[the tea is delicious, made all the more tasty from the years spent without it. Nepeta inhales the aromatic steam, letting the cup linger close to her face before placing it back down again]

[glowsferatu]

You don't think the park would be too open an area?

[ she's put too much work into establishing a human identity that wouldn't be suspected as an import. having that compromised could throw a wrench into all of the work she does outside of it. ]

[shipper]

Not when it's dark. I know all the places that most people are too scared to go.

[most of the fear is because of her, but who needs to know that? everyone needs a few safe places, even in a large untameable place like the park]

[glowsferatu]

Fear often gives way to action, eradication. I prefer places they don't know exist to begin with. It's safer that way.

[ that's the whole purpose of her hub, after all. this apartment and the others she has scattered through the city are set up so no one gets in if they don't know how, if she doesn't bring them. ]

I'll arrange a time and a location for you. That will be your window to arrive here. I'll have dinner already waiting next time.

[shipper]

...that's fine too, I guess. [she takes a bite out of her fish, chewing thoughtfully. Nepeta doesn't like hiding, even though her entire life has become a cloak and dagger operation. meeting in public places, even ones that she's specifically shrouded in urban terror, take away from that a little.]

I'd purromise to bring dessert, but I don't think that you'd like anything that I could get my hands on very much.

[glowsferatu]

[ she sits there idly staring into her tea as she stirs it. ] You never know. It would depend on how hungry I am.

[ blood is far sparser these days, after all. she doesn't like settling for animals, they taste ghastly, but he knows that if push came to shove, that might be her only option. she had to go that route already in some of the darker days now past. ]

[shipper]

[that gets her to laugh]

Really? Geez, who knew that this was all it'd take for you to share my favorite meals with me!

[glowsferatu]

[ kanaya gives a fanged grin right back to her. ]

It's utterly shocking what just a smidgen of desperation will lead one to do.

[shipper]

If you're not careful you'll stop brushing your hair and wake up to cute pictures in blood on your wall.

[glowsferatu]

[ kanaya scoffs, amused. ]

I think that would cost a slighter higher price than I'd be willing to pay.

[shipper]

Good art is priceless! You should be grateful to get it fur free. [she giggles a little]

[glowsferatu]

Too bad I'll have to wipe it away before someone else might see.

[shipper]

Yeah, I guess you're right. They'd probably be way too jealous if they saw something like that.
