Putting things right [ACTION] + [BBS]

[redcinemareel]

[ACTION A]

[There is a pile outside her dorm room of mostly things that are broken due to the rough tumble Garden took. Broken mirrors, ruined towels, shattered teacups and saucers, and cat toys tangled beyond help.The pile grows each day, little by little, as she sifts through her room. Don't trip on it!]


[ACTION B]

[Grell is walking about the Garden with her cats on a leash, mostly taking a break from putting her room right. Her cats stop to play with a wad of paper, however Grell isn't paying attention to that. Only when the lease becomes taut does she realize they've stopped. She seems pretty wrapped up in her own thoughts up until this point. With a sigh, she snaps her fingers at them a few times.]

Leave it! [The cats come to attention and look to each other, as if truly contemplating on whether or not they should listen. Really, guys?]


[BBS]

I'm offering 100 Gil to anyone who can clear away the pile of broken items from just outside my dormitory.

[She was about to come outside when he knocks, so the door is opened relatively quickly. In her hands are trash bags, which she can take out herself.]

Oh~? I'm not going to pay you, although I can treat you to something to eat.

[mera_mera_ace]

[Pouts]

But your post said 100 gil for anyone who helps you move this pile of stuff.

[redcinemareel]

I wouldn't pay family! That's absurd! [A pause] Unless you need to earn some Gil?

[mera_mera_ace]

[Still kind of pouting] No, I don't need the money. But I'm a pirate, loot is loot.

I'll still do it of course, but I might just sneak into your bed a few more times as compensation.

[redcinemareel]

Would you really accept payment from your captain's wife, Ace? [Just the thought of doing so sounds silly.]

With an attitude like that, I may have to change the locks!

[mera_mera_ace]

[Grins and chuckles.] Nah I wouldn't and you know it obviously. I would do it for free, but food is always nice. Fair warning though..I eat A LOT!

And you know I would only be doing it to sleep. For some reason having people nearby helps. Not sure why.

[redcinemareel]

So I've heard, but you'll not eat me out of house and home! Just because I'm treating you, doesn't mean there isn't a limit.

[She shrugs casually at his last statement.] It may be a subconscious effect. But you can't rely on it forever.

[mera_mera_ace]

Harsh. But whatever, I'll take what I can get.

It's not like I spend every night here, just when they get really bad.

[redcinemareel]

I'm aware, but my statement remains.

[How did she ever find him adorable? She crosses her arms, no longer amused by his attitude.]

I no longer require your assistance.

[mera_mera_ace]

[Pouts] What did I do?

[redcinemareel]

Because you're being flippant about assisting me! If you're going to be such a way, then you may as well NOT help!

[mera_mera_ace]

But I want to help you. I wouldn't be here if I didn't. But if I'm such a bother, I'll go. [Turns to leave]

[redcinemareel]

[She isn't sure how to properly respond to that, so Grell opts for silence. He isn't a bother, but his attitude has ticked her off, and she's sure that it wouldn't improve in his company. She does speak up after a few long moments.]

Perhaps you should return later.

[mera_mera_ace]

[He keeps walking, not even bothering to return a glance as he raises his hand in a wave letting her know he heard her. Right now, he himself needed to calm down,]

And he returns a few hours later.

[mera_mera_ace]

Hey, Grell. Do you still need help?

[redcinemareel]

[Between Espio being helpful (which was still weird), and Slughorn fixing up the first half of broken items, There isn't anything left! She's on the computer, tapping away at the keys. At the question, she looks up.]

No, it's been taken away. But thank you, for returning. [That was quite nice of him, so she smiles faintly.]

[mera_mera_ace]

[Ace nods a bit and steps into the room, shutting the door behind him. He walks over to her and hugs her from behind nuzzling her neck and kissing her cheek.]

I'm sorry about earlier. Forgive me?

[redcinemareel]

[She watches him carefully as he comes inside. The hug is unexpected, as she isn't quite a hugging person, but she lifts a hand to smooth a hand over his hair.]

You're forgiven, but should it happen again, I'll knock you unconscious and toss you into the ocean~! [Her tone is playful, but she's quite serious about doing it.]

[mera_mera_ace]

[He leans into the pets and whispers his answer]

I'll die if you do that. Marco would be sad again. That doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

[redcinemareel]

Then he'll just have to save you before that happens, doesn't he? [She turns her attention to her laptop screen, saving the work she's done so far.] You're not telling me anything new, mind you.

[mera_mera_ace]

[Ace pulls away and moves to sit on the couch, instantly becoming a bed for Polish as he settled in his lap. Ace just smiles and pets the kitten lovingly]

You're fairly ruthless aren't you? No wonder Marco loves you so much.

[redcinemareel]

[GRINS SHARPLY]

That's right~! [Closing the laptop a bit so she could be seen, Grell steeples her fingers after resting her elbows on either side of the laptop.] His love runs deeper than any vein I've RUTHLESSLY ripped open.

[redcinemareel]

[Then her creepy smile turns into a sweet one.]

And that's what I love about him!

[mera_mera_ace]

Well he's always been a bit of a masochist. But I've now learned to never get on your really bad side. I don't heal like he does.

[redcinemareel]

Yes, that is a healthy option! A woman's fury can rival even HELL, and I've much experience under my belt to make even you swelter.

[She rests her chin onto a palm.]

Is there anything else you'd like to learn~?
