[mannerism]

Just taking it in a bit, nothing more.

Do you sew, too?

[ look at this point, it won't surprise her. ]

[spellslots]

I can sew, I can't tailor a dress.

Are there people who can't sew?

[They might have elevators and fake moon bases but he still lives in a somewhat scrappy fantasy world where most people have to take care of their own shit.]

[mannerism]

Oh come now, no judgement.

Not all of us can excel in everything.

[ she can't sew, alright. not at all. ]

[spellslots]

Different worlds are weiiiird

I know I've done this a lot but STILL

If I couldn't sew we would've spent our entire teenage years naked cause we could not afford new clothes whenever we got tears in our shit.

[mannerism]

I learned mending when I was a child.

Never took to it, I'm afraid.

Seems like I have someone to go to now if I tear one of my dresses.

[spellslots]

Oh gods please don't, just cause I can do it doesn't mean I'm any good at it.

Unless you're into jagged stitches!

[mannerism]

Not yet, I fear.

Modernity didn't catch up with me that much just yet.

well? have you bought it?

[spellslots]

That sounds like a challllllenge :)

[New goal: get Peggy into something "modern"]

And yes, for sure, I bought it the second I took it off, I only asked your input to maintain the illusion that someone else agreed with my poor financial decisions.

[mannerism]

Good god, it certainly does not.

All this hassle and for a dress already bought. Where shall you wear it too?
Any Friday night dates?

[ look, she has to ask. ]

[spellslots]

We're gonna get you into a miniskirt if it kills me :) Which it probably will!

I might have one, there are plenty of cute boys around here ;)

[mannerism]

A miniskirt? that is what they prefer these days? Never had anything that was above the knee, I fear.

What would do for a Friday night outing here? killing a monster in the woods followed by a journey back to the city?

[spellslots]

Nothing wrong with showing off a little leg. If you got it, flaunt it.

Monster fighting is not what I'd call a romantic date. Should I be worried that you think it is? Most people go see a show or grab dinner or like, go to a fun event.

[mannerism]

I'm not much for flaunting, I'm afraid.

There are advantages to longer skirts. More fabric to hide things beneath.

[ it's not even an innuendo. she only really means her gun. ]

Not very fond of shows, either.

[ your friend is a hermit, taako. ]

[spellslots]

What are you hiding beneath your skirt 😲

Peggy, darling, you're way too cool to be one of those weirdos who doesn't leave the house ever.

[mannerism]

Hardly the way to word that question, darling.

Weirdos?

[ really. ]

Good God, I go to work every single day.

[ and on the weekends, too. police-work never rests, after all. ]

[spellslots]

I don't mean like that!

Wait. You know I'm gay, yeah? I'm only into dudes, which you are not.

[He feels the need to clarify, now!!!]

Work does not count, do you leave the house to have fun? Like a real person.

[mannerism]

Well thank you.

Don't think I'd notice I'm not one if it weren't for this conversation.

[ oh boy, is she laughing to herself. a good thing he can't see. would have ruined her entire stern reputation. ]

We did go to look at the Portal didn't we?

[spellslots]

I hate you 😐

[He means that very fondly, but now he's embarrassed even though she started this whole thing with talking about hiding things under skirts.]

If that's your idea of fun this shit is way more dire than I thought.

[mannerism]

Oh come now.

Hardly the worst thing that could have happened, us discussing your affections.

[ a product of the 40s she may be but she's also a woman ahead of her time in so many ways. she hardly minds. though it is so odd to be speaking of affections so openly. ]

Where exactly would you have me go?

I've attended a dinner party with friends when I only just arrived. Surely that counts?

[spellslots]

You're mocking me somehow, I know it, nothing could be worse than that.

[He was trying to reassure that he wasn't being gross and hitting on her!!!

how-could-this-happen-to-me.mp3.]

I mean, it counts, but if that's the only thing there is I'm disappointed. This is the best fucking vacation, you gotta take advantage of it.

[mannerism]

You're being far too dramatic.

And it really is more of a mission than it is a vacation.

But now I must ask, is that dress for a date by any chance?

[spellslots]

I'm exactly the right amount of dramatic. Always.

[Everyone else in the universe would beg to differ.]

Unless you were sent here to do recon or something, it's not really a mission, bubbale. You're here, you'll get home eventually, just enjoy the break!

Like I am :) with my date I'm not telling you about because I hate you :)

[mannerism]

So there is a date.

I might have known.

Come now, you can't wait to say something.

[spellslots]

He's very handsome and his name starts with N, and ends with "one of your business" :P

I know this may come as a shock, but I only gossip about other people's romantic lives, not my own.

[mannerism]

Well, whoever the fella is, make sure you won't go dragging him off in search of too much trouble.
