She blinked, feeling a little guilty. “It’s fine. I’m technically on lunch so you’re not interrupting anything and–well–sorry.” She self-consciously took another sip to at least give pause and allow her to think. So something stupid didn’t come out. “I’m not really used to having … a friend I can do these things with.”

“Me either,” he said casually. “I don’t exactly have many other friends.” There was Eph, and... well he respected Khint, and he knew Taka... but he wasn’t sure any of those people would consider him a “friend”. He sipped at his coffee, considering all this. 

Canis: One cooking the other a meal (choose who does what)

The last time they’d cooked together had been a complete and utter disaster with flour everywhere! At some point he’d messaged Talia telling her he was going to cook a meal for her to pay her back for all the flour he wasted! Seemed like a fitting deal to him.

Although he’d known she’d likely agree, the fact that she’d accepted came as a surprise. He’d never asked anyone on a date before, and his first go had ended up with an enthusiastic response. That was definitely heartening. Khint smiled, just slightly, and nodded. “If not for Amira, I might have not gone for years either.” Too much work and not enough sleep did not really give him pause for personal trips. Amira had made him slow down. 

[Musca: Asking one out on a date]

People say hate is a strong word, but I personally don’t think its strong enough. Loathe? Despise? None of these quite describe how I feel about you, so let me try to.

Looking at you makes me feel as if my eyes had been replaced with my own shit and my brain was slowly melting.

I would prefer hammering multiple nails into my own ears rather than have to listen to you speak.

Every time I remember you exist I openly hope you get hit by a rail or blown out into space. 

I think that suffices.

I hope all the clothes you own have been shredded to pieces,

Khint couldn’t help another sigh as he took another set of keys and passed one to each of his children. Jack looked more enthused about the entire thing than Amira, who kept giving her father a pouting look. “I suppose you have a point.” He nodded to Talia before kneeling down to Amira’s height and telling her mock-sternly to make sure Jack stayed out of trouble. She agreed, then took her newly... sort of adopted brother by the hand to go up to their own little room.
