recrowns | [ queen of the kitchen lup and bougie boy won ]

[ fuck i erased alyssa she was also there pretend lup also said alyssa ]

Well, um. I mean, he was - he was being Schwann? Or, whatever. But he's been like that for a couple days...

[ALYSSA KEEPS DYING]

So he has... I suppose I'm just looking to see if anyone was behaving as oddly as Claude last week. But if not, then we can simply keep looking.

At the fort it was only myself, Blanca, Hansa, and Fox. But I believe... you can tell what our effect was.

[they're currently in the fort]

[ STOP MY ANDIE CRIMES ]

You - you guys, you keep getting NPCs with you! I want an NPC! Lemme stay with you next week. [ whiiiine ]

[he

turns a beat exhausted]

... Yona already asked and I told her to invite Zuko so he wouldn't be alone....

And Blanca and Hansa might not leave me alone at this rate....

[PLEASE DON'T GIVE HIM ANOTHER GIANT FUCKING POSSE]

[ wehhhhhh she kicks her foot ]

Me and Taako and Sora go everywhere.

I'll see if I can send Goat to you next week then, and he'll look after you for me.

[maybe that's a deal???]

[ soo-won don't indulge her ]

... 'kay. [ sniff. ] Maybe I can make Wolf come with me. I like them a lot too.

I'm sure it's worth trying - though I'm sad I didn't get Wolf this week either. Even though Fox's company was fun.

[soo-won stop trying to finesse lup's npc]

I'm glad that you get along with him, though.

[ soo-won out here to steal your man ]

He's showing me how - oh. Oh, wait, did I, um. Did I tell you that already? We did sword fighting and he showed me his room and his face. [ yawn. ] I mean them.

You beat me to it...

[don't pout]

Mm, then I won't ask for more details. I'd like to get to know them better for myself.

[ she nods. ]

They're real good. They're good people. I'm gonna see Goat too. I talked to them but I don't know if they liked me. [ ... ] I want people to like me so I don't die.

Goat likes everyone, so you don't need to worry about that.

[he starts there first

before his feelings turn a bit inquisitive, worried]

... do you think that you're going to die here?

Mmhm.

[ she kneads a bit at the pillow, almost sleepy. being drunk all day is exhausting. ] But not if everybody likes me and Taako. If they all like us they won't pick us to die.

[ . . . . his voice is soft then, and he'll aim for reassuring - ]

... I can't make promises, because I don't want to lie to you.

But I like you and Taako very much, so I'm going to do everything that I can to keep you both alive for as long as possible. I can promise you that much.

I know. [ sniff. ] But you can't do everything. Nobody can, nobody can do everything. It's always just me. I can do it. I've protected both of us since we were small, I won't - I can't stop now.

[ . . . . he listens closely before trying to peer more closely at her face]

... nobody can do everything - and you can't do everything, just as I can't.

But... if we try to do everything together - we can get a little bit closer, right?

[a beat]

... I don't expect you to entrust yourself and your brother to me. But I hope you'll let me help you, so you don't have to feel scared anymore.

[ she is so drunk she can barely words. she brings a hand up to rub at her eye. ]

Mmhm. [ she says finally, with a sniff. ] Don't tell anybody I'm scared.

[he presses a finger to his own lips]

I'll keep it a secret.

[ . . . ]

What do I have to do, to make you a little less scared when I'm around?

[ she thinks about it for a minute, drifting. ]

I think I'm already a little less scared when you're around.

[ . . . he sighs a little bit at that]

... then I'll work harder so that it'll gradually become 'a lot less scared when I'm around'.

[ she holds the pillow a little more tightly. ]

I know you will. [ sniff. ] If anything happens to me, Soo-won. Won. If anything happens, you have to take care of Taako.

You can do that for me.

[ . . . . . . there's an odd little knot in his chest - if only because he seems to recognize how important this is to lup.

but.]

.... I was always going to. That's part of my responsibilities as your best friend, right?

[ . . . ]

Nothing's going to happen to you, Lup. Though you're making me wonder if there's reason to be concerned.

[ she seems to relax just a little when he agrees, closing her eyes. ]

M'really drunk. [ she mumbles. ] S'okay. I - I told you I'd tell you. I'm not telling you anything this time. I don't have - there's nothing to tell. S'okay.

[ . . . . he settles for contentment again then, if only so that he can let the feeling wash over her]

... okay. I'm going to trust in that.

Tomorrow... we're going to do what we need to - but I won't let anything happen to you and Taako. If you need to be scared with me... I won't tell anyone.

I'll hold onto that feeling for you, too.

[ she sinks down into the pillow further. she's very exhausted and in her emotions, which are all out of whack. she's not sad necessarily, just a little overwhelmed. ]

Okay. [ she says, calmer. he promised he'd look after taako. that's what she wanted. ] I'm not going to let anything happen to you.

Can I stay here for a while? M'tired.
