You know, it's kinda funny. This year I guess I stuck to some resolutions I don't remember making-- like, oh, finally getting out of my stepdad's house--

[ funny how getting kicked out makes that easy to do. ]

--and quitting smoking-- [ thanks a ton Eponine. ]

--and getting real close with my dad. [ no. really, Eponine. thanks. ]

Huh. Yeah. Wonder what this year's gonna have in store. Can't wait. [ With an eyeroll and a familiar, irritating itch for a smoke. ]

So. How many of you are going to make optimistic promises you're not gonna keep, eh? I know I'm tapped out of 'em, but that's just me.

Cool Kid? Please, he's a raging dork. And he knows better than to steal from a Hermes' kid.

He knows I'll kick his ass, relationship status or no.

[habitually]

Fair enough, only people like me are that stupid.

[ Smirking at the memory. ]

He is kinda scrawny, even you could beat him up. You can reach his face even.

[ospreyed]

Hey hey hey! No one but me calls Dave scrawny. Look who you're talkin' to.

[She's going to glare anyway, because sorry, R, she can reach your face, too. She just may need a box to stand on.]

[habitually]

Yeah, I know, you found someone your size. So happy for you.

[ Leaning his chair out of reach. Just in case. ]

[ospreyed]

[Without a second thought, she flings a knife in his direction, where it buries itself into the wood of the chair just a few centimeters from his shoulders.] He's still taller than you. Fuck off.

[habitually]

[ Cursing in French. ]

Fuck-- Where were you hiding that?

[ospreyed]

[She waggles her fingers at him. She always has a multitude of rings on, noticeably ones made of bronze, in addition to the simple ring she wears with a raised gray stone. The bronze rings happen to be literal ring daggers.]

Perfect for close quarters combat and range.

[habitually]

[ Frowning at the rings and trying not to look impressed/terrified. ]

Remind me to hang around you when shit goes down. And of course it will. Always does. Danger magnets that we are.

[ospreyed]

[Be terrified. She's amazing with her rings. But she likes you, so you'll only get grazed.]

Next time we have to battle for our lives. You got it. I'm too small for you to hide behind.

[habitually]

Fair enough. But plenty vicious enough to protect me. I'm okay with that.

[ospreyed]

Damn straight. [She winks.] thanks, Grantaire.
