The Broken Arc

Delightful.

On? 

Got another word for it? Hope they’re hidden. On the move sounds messy. Little too Romero. Unless you meant a different way. 

The mood - your mood, specifically. And the setting. Time and place.

Okay. I legitimately cannot take your potential sad eyes and hurt feelings. Don’t do that to me. We’ll make all the potions.

You’re too good to me.

Glad you admit it. I said playfully! I trust you as my friend and confidant, I do not trust you to not curse me for your own amusement. Even if it’s little green curses. I trust you, but I acknowledge you are shady.

It still hurts my feelings.

Very bad, actually. I don’t have a list or anything but your suggestions in the past have been a bit dicey. Sigh. Let’s at least start with the drinks and then move onto potions because all you’ve done is be playfully intimidating about it and I don’t know if I’ll love it or actually be a different color. I’m not saying no, but I’m treading lightly. 

Yeah, bad ones. I figured there would be risks, but the physical ones, I feel I should know about beforehand. Somehow. And I occasionally look good in green, just not all over. There’s a difference.

Bad?

Eh? Didn’t realize you fancied the leather so much. 

Can’t exactly say you play well with others. That cheery personality. General call, aye. Wasn’t too bad. Didn’t hear of any dead bodies next day. Consider that a win in this place. 

The leather is preferred - what I fancy on the other hand... depends.

Sounds like I need to be taken to dinner first.

Sorry that’s just a very suggestive sentence. But I don’t know, this sounds nerve wracking yet very fascinating at the same time. I guess I trust you, so we can do this. I just don’t wanna be green. It went terribly for Elphaba.

I am rather good at giving suggestions. But yes, there will always be a risk, no matter how simple, how complex, whether using one ingredient or 50... Though I’ve yet to turn green. We could see if it’s your color?

Oof, I’m totally fine with my current amount of holes actually. You’re going to have to like, explicitly tell me what the possible side effects are of everything we use. So I’m going in informed and all that.

It took late to back out? I already got a lot going on, I don’t need tentacles.

Maybe not tentacles - maybe just holes where there shouldn’t be holes...

God, I don’t think I’ve ever actually mixed a drink. It’s a little intimidating.

I don’t think I’d try and poison you but maybe one day you’ll make the wrong crack about my clothes and I’ll snap. So we’ll just do observing then.

No, none of that. Of all things to be intimidated by, grenadine is last on the list.

We probably shouldn’t let those expectations go any higher, but maybe it will be fun. For drinks? I want to just watch and listen. For real potions? I’ll have to think on it. The idea of mixing them has never been real to me, I’m not even sure where someone would begin.

No worries, the expectations already started at a low place, my Raggedy One. There is only the up and up. No, if it must be one or the other - for drinks, you’ll need to pour. For potions, you’ll need to see. At this point, I am pretty hard to poison, but I cannot be sure about you just yet.

I could shadow you for a bit at the bar. Also it gives me a chance to follow you around when you’re at work. Sounds like I could be into it.

Also I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t intrigued by the idea of real ones.

I have always had a feeling about you... This will be fun. And productive. Make a list of questions to as me - unless you just want to watch? I’ve never had an apprentice before - that I wanted.
