Thanks.

[It is a difficult task! Some of them are pretty tiny, and some of them are even cut in half. He throws the half-dozen handful of pills into his mouth in one go and washes them down with a gulp of bottled water.]

[gunslingerqueen]

Mmhm.

[.... She's not supposed to worry about this, he's got it, and he's been at it way longer than she's even had a comprehension of taking medicine long term but.]

I kind of want to ask you something, and if it's not okay just tell me.

[So she goes right ahead with it.] What do you do when you run out?

[Like, maybe there are refills and such but eventually that'll dry up and won't he need to see a doctor or something? Which is going to be really difficult to do if they're running around.]

[pecsonpecs]

All I have to do is call in to a local pharmacy. My GP is actually in my hometown, so I've never gotten my meds directly from him, he's shipped my scripts to different places.

[A pause.]

You know you don't have to feel like you're walking on eggshells for this stuff. You're living with me now, so you deserve to know about it.

[gunslingerqueen]

[That's a lot easier than she had thought it might be! Which is a relief.]

Everyone has something they'd rather keep to themselves, I guess I figured that might be it for you.

[But he's right, she knows he is. Leaning back in her seat she kicks her feat back up and grabs her notebook just like before.]

That, and it's not something I've got a lot of experience with. I don't want to say something dumb or insult you.

[Those are the worst kinds of misunderstandings.]

[pecsonpecs]

Trust me, there's plenty I like to keep to myself. My head stuff isn't one of them. And you're not going to insult me unless you intend to.

[And even then...he's got thick skin.]

You're fine, Nariko. I promise.

[gunslingerqueen]

[She looks a bit skeptical but ultimately it's better to just go ahead and trust what he's saying, she can't really do anything else.]

Okay. [It takes her a second but she finds her pen.] Is there anything else you want to do while we're there?

[Don't mind her, Krieg, she's just gonna keep writing.]

[pecsonpecs]

Hmm. [Give him a second to think about it. Nothing specific comes to mind, but...]

You know, I'd really like to spend some time chilling out. It feels like years since we've had time to just--time to ourselves.

[Although Nariko might have a different idea of 'chilling out' than Krieg does.]

[gunslingerqueen]

[Hey now, her idea of chilling only includes some mild sexual deviancy to occur during the night! The day is completely free for non-nympho activities!]

M&M's World is in Vegas, and there's this huge buffet with everything that has a great lunch time special! Oh, and we could go see the botanical garden at the Bellagio!

[Even her normal chilling is pretty active, all things said and done.]

[pecsonpecs]

[You're an animal, Iko. But he's okay with 'active' chilling.]

Is...M&M's world just a candy store?

['Cause if so...pass.]

[gunslingerqueen]

[She's an animal when undomesticated, make an honest-ish girl out of her and she'll cuddle even more than usual! But road life isn't going to allow for a dating life, so this is how it has to be, right? Right.]

I'm sure that there's candy there, but I don't think that's all it is! There's the history and toys and memorabilia and stuff! I just want a plush of the sassy green one anyway, and a blanket.

[They could really be there for twenty minutes at the most, don't be a spoil sport, Krieg.]

[pecsonpecs]

[And we wonder if Krieg has the ability to tame the beast.]

Heh. You would like the green one.

[Look, he doesn't eat the candy, but that doesn't mean he doesn't watch the commercials.]

[gunslingerqueen]

She's sassy! Who doesn't love that in a woman?

[Especially one made of chocolate.

That's really okay since the only reason she ever came to love the candy was thanks to the commercials! Advertising at it's best, yo.]

I like the yellow guy, too, I always want to give him a hug.

[She smiles at her own writing but it's really meant for Krieg, she just forget to turn her head the right way.]

[pecsonpecs]

Heh. My favorite one is the brown one.

[Yep. The wild rockstar drummer Krieg likes the calmer, bespectacled anthropomorphic candy. Goooo figure.]

[gunslingerqueen]

Huh.

[That's incredibly surprising, actually! But it also makes her consider something so important, so very thrilling that she looks over at him! And then her eyes narrow, she seems to squint, even leans in closer ...

H m m m.]

[pecsonpecs]

[He's content to let the conversation end there, but eventually he realizes that Nariko is staring at him. He does a double-take, trying to keep his eyes on the road.]

Wh-what?

[gunslingerqueen]

[H M M !!!!!!]

You'd look extra hot in glasses.

['Extra' because Krieg is already perfectly attractive on his own.]

[pecsonpecs]

Wh--I don't need glasses!

[Truthfully, he's actually a little nearsighted...nothing to necessarily need glasses, but still, it's not 20/20.]

[gunslingerqueen]

Who is talking about needing them? They'd just look good!

[Don't misunderstand her interests, partner.]

[pecsonpecs]

I'm not a glasses kind of guy, Nariko...

[He's more, you know. Leather and gasmasks and chains and ballgags.]

[gunslingerqueen]

I'm going to imagine it no matter what you say.

[And she's not going to apologize for that! ... Ballgags, though?]

You'd kinda look like that hot teacher with tattoos that everyone wants to fuck.

[pecsonpecs]

[Yep.

Ballgags.]

That's a...pretty specific fantasy. Is that a "thing"?

[Krieg wouldn't know, because he dropped out in middle school.]

[gunslingerqueen]

[Amazing.]

I mean, it has to be. [She looks up and squints at the road ahead of them.] ... If it's not I might have made a terrible mistake when I was thirteen.

[Well, to be honest.] Not that terrible, I guess, but still. It's good to knock things off your bucket list, I suppose.

[She goes back to writing. If Krieg would like to nope right out of this line of conversation that's perfectly fine, she won't drag it out.]

[pecsonpecs]

[He has to keep his eyes on the road, but he keeps looking at her like she's going to elaborate. When it's clear that she's just going to leave it at that...]

Come on, you can't bait me with a story like that and just leave me hanging.

[gunslingerqueen]

[She looks up and raises a brow at him.]

I mean, it's sort of like a bad porno. I was hot for the guy and I didn't give up until we fucked on his desk. I think that was, like, his first year teaching, too.

[She waves a hand before going back to writing.] He was one of those silent, kinda scary looking guys. Everyone was terrified of the guy, but back then I enjoyed getting a rise out of people for the sake of it, dude might as well have had a target on his back that said 'all of my desperate thirteen-year-old fantasies'.

[pecsonpecs]

[...oh, maybe that was exactly what he was suspecting.]

What. You didn't even wait until he was tenured? He could've lost his job for that.

[Krieg? Chastising someone for doing something reckless? Hell must be freezing over.]
