Ice in their veins

Pyxis couldn’t help but roll his eyes at that, pulling away from Tsuga some to give them a bit of breathing room once more. He snorted. “Not as popular as I am infamous,” he joked. “Most people just know me because I have a big mouth and I’m fine with people hating me for it.” A smug grin sat on his face.

“Being infamous is more fun,” Tsuga said as they watched him with a smirk. “Yeah. Well, I’d say the same about myself. People get pissed at me all the time, but I can’t be bothered with that.” they waved their hand and then looked at Pyxis. “You should have brought some fucking alcohol with you out here. I’m thirsty.” they nudged him. “I’m kidding. But I could use some. This feels like a good time to drink. Like...you know, a happy moment.”

“I know but I always feel bad when I hit into people means that I haven’t been paying attention to where I was going.”She said as she ruffled her hair a little. “They do make me a little nervous but I can’t let that stop me from going for a walk or in this case a drink.”

“Well, I can understand wanting to go for a drink,” Tsuga snorted. “I drink a lot these days. More than I probably should, but it makes things easier.” they shrugged. “I might just go with you. Where are you going to get a drink?”

“If you’re still wondering about the ‘stupid people’ comment, then no. You’re dead wrong. Why the fuck would I call people I care about stupid? They do stupid things sometimes, but they’re not inherently stupid. It’s more the people they keep company with. But again, stop prying for information that I’m not giving. It doesn’t matter in the end.”

“It’s too hard to narrow down. There are a lot of stupid people in this town.”

“No. I think we both know what we want out of life and those things don’t coincide.”

“I don’t know. I don’t really believe in changing people you care about to fit your own needs and insecurities. I guess I wish they would recognize stupid people easier and avoid them, but there’s nothing I can do about their own inability to realize such things.”

“Fantastic. Not that it’s any of your business. We’re very close.”

“I expect he will. He’s too stupid to do right by her. But I just see his fuck up as an invitation to kick his ass. I’ll wait quietly.”

“I heard through the grapevine. Why would you think I gave a fuck about it, though?”

Nothing was better than getting out of her house,she had been spending most of her time in there and apart from going to the cafe,she didn’t really get out much. She needed a drink and needed one badly,the sun was setting which coloured the sky oranges,pinks and blues. She looked up at the sky for a moment only to look back down and noticing she was about to hit into somebody. “Almost hit into you,that would have been bad.”

Tsuga raised an eyebrow at Lecia. They weren’t too bothered, but why was she out here alone? Wasn’t she a witch? “It’s fine,” they said. “It wouldn’t have been that bad, I’m sure.” they folded their hands behind their back. “But I am curious, why are you out here alone? Don’t the angry humans make you nervous?”

“I do not know if chatty is the word, she just comes home looking very– satisfied and her exact words are amazing in bed though, I have no doubts you have skills in the bedroom, years of practice an all,” she mused staring at them. “There are no details though, I can just tell, being a woman who has occasionally had her.. whats the phrase…” Calista paused for a moment. “World rocked? Is that right?” waving her hands she sighed. “Anyways, you have done good, Holly has been stressed, I feel like your company has made her life a little bit less hectic,” she gently nudged their shoulder back. Kissing their cheek.

Tsuga snorted and rolled their eyes. Well, it did make them feel good to know she was happy with their performance when they were together, but wasn’t it weird for Calista to know that? Ah well. It’s not like they were shy. “I see, I see,” Tsuga chuckled. “I’m glad I can help her a little bit, then. Although I assume most people in this town are struggling with stress. Yourself included. Hell, myself included.”
