❛  i just moved into the apartment next to you, so i guess we’re gonna be neighbors now.  ❜ (claire redfield for luther!)

first meeting starters. accepting. @designedparadigm

"oh, are you the— yeah! i heard all the commotion in the hall the other day." luther closes his mailbox, locks it up, and turns to give claire his full attention with a cheery little smile. "listen, i was going to bring something over, a 'welcome to the building' kind of gift. i bake a lot, it's, uh—" smile broadens, "it's cheaper than therapy." an awkward, and somewhat self degrading laugh before he realizes he's lingered too long.

"you're not allergic to anything, are you?"

first, he's casting a sidelong glance in her direction and then sitting at his table by himself for several more minutes. he's in thought, staring at his half-finished plate of food before finally, luther stands and approaches the woman sat by herself. "hey, uh— i don't know what's goin' on, but you seem like you're... maybe having a rough day." he looks pointedly at the empty seat across from her.

"i thought i'd offer to get you a dessert or something and then i got all locked up wondering if i should just have them send it to your table and risk being a creep or, i don't know— accidentally send you into anaphylactic shock by ordering you something you're allergic to. figured that's the last thing you need when you just got stood up—" he grimaces, realizing he's said what he had tried to dance around earlier.

"anyway, uh— just order yourself something, i'll cover it." a sheepish smile and he starts to take a step backwards, giving a polite and awkward little wave to excuse himself.

"huh?" luther is still wiping at their eyes when they open the door and see emmanuel standing there, that concerned and endeared look in his eyes. they sniffle, clearly trying (and failing) to hide that they've been crying. "yeah, i'm— i'm alright." briefly, they squint, their cheeks reddened and their free hand picking at the threads of their sweater. "why'd you ask?"

relationships with luth, romantic or otherwise, are subject to their whims :/ they are very much defined by push-pull dynamics and they self sabotage far more often than they'd like to admit. they're full of love, yeah, but they're also terrified of being hurt and terrified of hurting others. and that's inevitable, so. they just constantly feel kind of cornered and overwhelmed by any intimate relationships in their life.

@huntedvideo

well, she knew that he frequented this place, but— "you're back in town?" fin had left so quickly and nealie told herself that it was fine, that she wasn't torn up about it at all. it's almost strange to see him in broad daylight, in public, with her friend lingering to the side awkwardly staring at his shoes. "you should've let me know, i would've—..." the words get away from her, realizing how pouty she sounds. she swallows her emotion back, blinks it away, and grins instead. "way to make a girl feel special." laughter bubbles from her and she reaches out, playfully and lightly punching his arm. "too cool to hang out with me these days?"

@gotaletter liked for a starter.

nealie's sat cross-legged as she uses her teeth to pull the cork from a bottle of liquor before she tucks it into her pocket. had the entity allowed her to pull it from her realms as a souvenir, or was she trying to get one over on the great being that had trapped them here? even nealie wasn't sure which was the case, but here in the darkness, she'll chase whatever rush and glory she can find.

"hey," her voice cracks through the darkness, conspiratorial and playful, as she's barely holding back her giggles. "c'mere. can you keep a secret?" she lets the light of the distant campfire glint off the glass just long enough for james to get a look at what she's stolen away. "i don't have enough to share with everyone..."
