shawarma time

[finalmix]

[ some time after Atem's palace when everyone has had the time to get back from braphine's temple, and more importantly get that sand out of your everything (and enjoy NOT 40 degree Celsius weather)

everyone who was in Atem's palace will find themselves suddenly added to a group chat by joshua and he just sends a singular address

it's the address to a shawarma place that somehow magically has a big enough table to fit 14 people. amazing. we love fluid locations like this.

post palace dinner, y'all know the drill ]

for once the cat/rabbit (catbit???) is allowing physical contact

so yes, mafuyu is allowed to lean on him for now while he's picking at his fries because that's what teenagers do, right??? go out for food together? this is fine. ]

...

( she's going to steal a fry. mizuki would be proud. )

[ mafuyu eating junk food??? amazing. what would her mother say. /s

pushes more fries over to her. he probably ordered too much tbh so he's just pawning them off to random people on the table now. ]

[beathollow]

( oh. more fries for mafuyu. munchmunch... )

... How're you feeling?

[finalmix]

Eh.

[ there's a pause where joshua is clearly internally debating on whether he should be flippant or not but thanks to braphine's honesty gift, ] ... Not great, but I've felt worse.

[ a shrug. ]

Thought some normalcy might help? Maybe?

[beathollow]

Mm. I don't think secluding away would help anyone right now, either... even if they may want to.

[ mafuyu you have got to stop perceiving him what the heck. ]

... I did that once and I regretted it.

[ hence, this. even with all the awkwardness. joshua is. trying?? ]

[beathollow]

( she will not. )

So have I.

[finalmix]

[ s t o p ]

Mm.

[ time to change the subject! ]

Is this why you started this thing?

[ the victory meal tradition thing. ]

[beathollow]

... Was that me? ... Huh. I guess it was.

Whenever my music group releases a new song, we go to a diner to celebrate. Mizuki always orders fries. ( hence her fry theft. ) ... And, usually, at the end of palaces, its a lot more lively. Everyone is relieved and happy, so... we celebrate.

It's not the same this time, but- like I said, it didn't seem to be a good idea to leave everyone alone right now.

( she's assuming they didn't for her own palace because they wanted her to rest, given that her mother's shadow made at least one attempt on her life. given arven's distress between the palace and dinner, she's pretty sure she's right. )
