un: lady; video (semi-accidental)

[dohaeris]

[sansa means for this to be anonymous, unfortunately she hasn't really figured out usernames yet, let alone how to hide hers. she also means for this to be text, but the video is already recording when she starts speaking.

she's visibly younger, though not much (a little over three years, now); smaller and slighter and more wide-eyed, with her clothes not quite fitting right and her hair braided simply to one side. lady remains the same size, half in her lap on the couch, with blue ribbons around her neck rather than her fancy padded collar. sansa, too, wears the silvery-blue dress she wore to the rinne festival tied very tightly, her padded collar slightly askew.

and she looks somber. something has clearly been troubling her. she's not quite looking at the camera. her voice is low and a little bitter.]

What happens to us when they come back?

[sansa considers the mystery of the missing cake, frowning a little.]

I think Vi might have been hiding food in her room.

[when she was also shrunk down to middle school age...also jinx just eats things in the kitchen sometimes. now sansa considers the last time she noticed an absence of cake. she looks at lazarus sharply.]

That was days ago.

[not that many, but still...]

She's older, now.

Days ago when I was here, last. I sleep at the office often these days.

[A pause while he bites into the side of the slice, again, like an apple. Then he seems to consider something.]

It wasn't because of anyone in the household. Vi, or Jinx, or otherwise. My work just keeps me busy and, often, away from home.

[It's not as though he can just squat in front of a computer here and have access to all the information he needs on the other side of the city. L's thinner these days in large part because he gets so much cardio in tromping all over Trench after his cases.]

[the older sansa might try to determine where he means by at the office––the archives, an abandoned building, his evil ex-boyfriend's house? and if it was clean and safe, but this sansa has enough trouble figuring out from context that he means a place of work.]

No, Vi was stealing food. She brought some of it back.

[what sansa was unsure of was where she was hiding it...or why.]

I can get you tiramisu, if you tell me what it is.

[hearthebell]

[It might be best, that the older Sansa is not the one asking these questions and determining this meaning. It's complicated with L at the best of times.]

Why was Vi stealing food? Was it not plenty?

[He asks like someone who knows, already, that the reason is probably a lot more pathological and less practical. But in so many ways, isn't he just getting to know this version of Sansa?]

I'll tell you what it is. Do you know about coffee and cream, yet?
