[somethingintangible]

Hey... does anybody know if there's anything to make shoes from here? Like, real shoes. I'm tired of walking around barefoot.

I mean like, real stuff. Not nasty animal hides.

I can try to make you something too if you want. I guess. I'm at the airfield. Hit me up. Or... there's this guy K? He's like a robot or something? I think he can sew too.

You guys all need to dress way better. This is sad.

[Luckily, it's one of the times where he's not sneaking around on his own, so he's pretty easily located laying on his stomach in a corner doodling on the floor with a piece of charcoal. It also means he's at very convenient foot-in-face height.

So yes. He looks up at her approach, only to get a faceful of foot and gag and recoil dramatically.]

Ew, gross! Don't drag me into your foot fetish!

[somethingintangible]

[ Maddy grins. His reaction is about what she expected, and since he's conveniently at foot height, she lightly touches his nose with a toe. She'll lay off... in a little bit!

Playfully: ]

Too late! I already did.

[ :P ]

[trialbyliar]

[He recoils, making a face and smacking her foot away. It's not as hard as it could be, really – shit really is gross, of course, but teasing and fucking around is practically his love language. Even in sincerity, he can't help but play any reaction up.

And he has no shame, so of course he doesn't mind making a scene. He raises his voice, whiny and pitiful.]

Heeelp! This rude bitch is bullying me!

[The choice of insult is careful. Some things can be tolerated by some people and not others, and he likes to walk a fine line. He doesn't know this girl well enough to know the exact limits yet – he certainly wouldn't go as far as some of the shit he used to say to Miu without getting a better read on her – but just based on his initial observation, this much is probably fine.]

[ Maddy ALSO shrieks, leaning over to rub her "injured" foot, making a big deal of glaring imperiously at him. She yells, in response to his yelling: ]

NO I'M NOT! HE HIT ME! [ Dropping her voice: ] Stop being a little cunt and take it like a man. [ So yeah, "bitch" is fine lmao. ]

[ She reaches over to grab one of the sticks he was drawing with, unless he blocks her before she can. And do what with it? We don't know yet. ]

[trialbyliar]

[Oh good, the kid gloves can come off.

There's what looks like a pitiful attempt to stop her from stealing his stick, but he lets her have it. Fuck it, he wants to see what she's gonna do. And as to goad her on, the pouty expression drops away disconcertingly quickly and he shoots her a sly smirk, dropping his voice as well.]

Wow, you're not even trying to pretend you're not totally two-faced. Jeez, and here I thought you were just a stupid useless bimbo!

[Pot, meet kettle.]

[somethingintangible]

[ She wasn't expecting to be able to grab it, since from what little she's seen of him, she's pretty fast and sneaky. So when he lets her have it, she just blinks at it, and has to decide what to do with it.

She drops down to the floor to doodle too, aimlessly at first. ]

Well, you were wrong. Turns out, I'm a smart useless bimbo.

[ You have to be smart to get good at being a useless bimbo, in Maddy's opinion. Useless bimbos don't live very long if they don't know who to aim their bimbo-ness at.

She looks at his charcoal doodles, as she draws next to them. ] What are these?
