bisouled | izumo catchall

[ hmm. ]

I know a lot of boys, too. Rufus is one of them.

[ same hat but also no hat. ]

I've never tried to have a heart-to-heart with him, though, he doesn't seem like the type of person to care much about that sort of thing.

I should hope so! There are only so many of us here. [ anyway. ] You're right about that - he's cold as ice. We're working together, though, so I want to connect a little bit.

[ a beat. ]

He's actually a sweet guy, too - I think. He's just working through a lot right now.

[ well, now isn't that some claims to make right here? ]

Yeah? What makes you say all of that?

[ not that izumo really cares, but it's a conversation topic..? she hadn't thought rufus as an unfeeling person. but it's not like she knew exactly what kind of a person he was either..... ]

We've been talking a lot, that's all. I learned some things.

[ she's respectful of his privacy, though, so she won't say more than that. ]

And you're already easier to talk to than he is, so there you go.

[ FIORA. YOUR STANDARDS??? ]

You know how pathetic that makes you sound?

[ WOW... ]

Oh, come on, I'm just kidding around. No need to get nasty with me.

[ folding her arms. ]

[ says the one who is just as cruel, but whatever. ]

I'm just stating a fact. You should raise your standards a bit if you think that's how someone should treat you.

There's a difference between having low standards and enjoying talking to different kinds of people, for your information. He's hardly the only person I talk to.

I should hope you talk to more than just him.

[ like, she can't imagine it. ]

Of course I do. I'd go crazy otherwise.

[ she's miffed about being called pathetic now, though... fiora tries to remind herself that izumo is probably just stressed out. ]
