un: lady; video (semi-accidental)

[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?

I come and go at odd hours because of the nature of my work, and try not to cause a disturbance when I do. I'm not exaggerating when I say that, although I regard you highly and consider you a friend, we go weeks sometimes without seeing each other.

[That being said...]

I'll come right home if you've been cooking something.

[It's also not an exaggeration to say that while L is out on his citywide adventures, his momentum is a force to reckon with. It makes hunger and exhaustion subject to erasure until his vision blots mid-step. Even in those cases, a few packets of sugar and creamer are viewed as acceptable solutions.

Sansa's lemon cakes transcend being merely "acceptable," though.]

[L knows a far more somber version of Sansa. While she has her moments of lighter humor, he doesn't know that he's ever heard her giggle.

He feels an impulse to let her have what happiness she can muster. If that means providing for a housemate, who is he to say no?]


Magic box?

[Very dangerous, in the hands and minds of some. Point in case...]

I don't suppose you could get it to produce some tiramisu with eighteen sugar cubes and a side of espresso with whipped cream?
hearthebell: (Don't give up on the wanting)

If you have to know, for it to work... do you have coffee as a frame of reference?

It's very kind, but if you can only use it once a day, don't let me take food out of your mouth.

[For goodness' sake, she sounds young enough to still be growing.]

I can go buy my own tiramisu and espresso, you know. And whether or not you're cooking, I'll in fact be home soon so we can be properly introduced.

It sounds like Madame Generosity lived up to her name.

[Cake is always, always good.]

I'm near a lamp point. Lady knows me, if that dispels any further unease.

[L doesn't pay much mind to fancy outfits, for himself or others. Even he couldn't really resist buying the imps little hats.

He's traveling far lighter today, though. Wearing only a coat sewn by Sansa over some simple working-class clothes, he looks like his typical pale and disheveled self when he arrives, a little short on both food and sleep.

Lycka glides ahead of him to announce his presence as he steps into the front all, kicking his bony bare feet out of his stiff steel-toed leather boots.

He glances around to see if Sansa has been waiting. If he doesn't see her immediately, he tentatively approaches the hall. In all their time living together he's never entered her room without an explicit invitation.]




hearthebell: (I might only have one match)

[personal profile] hearthebell 2023-03-01 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

[His response is quiet and earnest. Lycka is everything he likes best about himself, after all; he's probably incapable of taking anything said about her as anything less than a compliment, in truth.]

Is there really? The cake was fresh out the last time I was here.

[On account of him. He goes right for it, Lycka acknowledging Sansa with a lowering of her enormous head. He returns with a slice held in his hand not unlike an apple.]

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.]

[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?
