Re: quicklog: abe/sasha apple cart
[Sasha's eyes went wide with joy, wiggling a bit in the booth like an excited puppy. It was like finding that piece of a puzzle which had been missing for years.] Exactly! How can anyone use one of those bubble levels if the world is round? Those science people keep photoshopping pictures from the ISS. It's like they don't want to see the truth! [She couldn't keep her giggles back though, and beamed at her trolling kindred spirit.]
I love binging shows. I'll watch whatever. Have you seen that Occult Crimes show on Netflix? It's French. [Like she couldn't possibly understand wine-drinking, cheese-snarfing mimes being into weird murders. That was the land of cigarettes, bread, and romance. Maybe not in that order.] But yeah, I mean, I'll come over as long as you don't mind me bringing the snacks. [A thumb towards the waitress.] You see how not easy I can be.
[His innocent act almost broke her while she ranted, thankfully able to keep back the laughs, and unbelievably glad that it didn't scare him off. Not a lot of people put up with her sense of humor. But then he challenged her claims of difficulty with the whole romance thing, and her smile melted into something softer. He was right, of course, but where was the fun in admitting it?] Do you want me to put up a fight? [She raised her eyebrows with a grin, feigning that innocence that she actually needed an answer.
He read, and she leaned forward, her arms crossed in front of her on the table, and nodded slowly. They both knew he wasn't the violent one.] You've been in my head. [He had to have seen it, right? So, yeah, honesty.] I beat down six guys last night with a baseball bat for taking some little girl's tablet. I'm also tied down to a war god. So... that was all my fault at the cave. [Pause for reaction. If he decided to get up and leave, she'd totally get it. Or worse, if he just didn't like her anymore, she wouldn't like it but she'd understand.]
