cw reference to character death/murder

[ecks]

I did not like it when I did not have morphine anymore, but I did not want to ask Doctor Watson for more because I stole it from his pocket after I had to murder him. What kind of cakes do you have? I want the chocolate.

Well, once someone is dead, there's no sense in letting what they have on them go to waste. As bad as it is.

[He's still going to wince, though. Looting the dead is never a fun exercise, just cold necessity.]

Morphine is bad like that. It's good that you don't need it anymore. The more you take it, the more you want it, even when you don't need it.

[New topic. And it's never going to stop being bizarre how quickly she goes from harmless topics to horrible ones and back again. He's seen others do it, but usually those were...strange individuals as well.]

Sure, you can have some of the chocolate. I like the raspberry ones. They're a little squashed, but still good.

[And she's perfectly happy to stay on the newer, nicer topic...just as she would have been perfectly fine reciting the details of a murder.]

We did not have chocolate where I am from and I like it.

[sleight_of_fate]

I think this place would be even worse without chocolate.

[He's been living on pure sugar, to the point where even he's getting a little sick of it, but only a little. And chocolate will always wait for you to come back to it. So much better than relationships in that regard.

Rhys rummages, and comes up with a few cakes, a couple of the squishy type and some more sturdy chocolate candy bars.]

Just don't eat 'em all at once and get sick, okay?

[He's smiling a little, though. If she wants to eat them all, he won't tell.]

[ecks]

Acknowledged.

[She'll...probably follow that order, though. Or maybe not; the second the chocolate comes out she's tearing into the nearest package, using her teeth to make up for her missing hand.]

[sleight_of_fate]

[He did the responsible Adult Thing by warning her, he's in the clear and it's all her. But it does him good to see her happy.]

I've got a few other things I should get in order, but...enjoy and I'll catch you a little later, okay?

[ecks]

Yes, that is okay. I will be here. I am not leaving yet.

[sleight_of_fate]

Good. I'll see you a little later, then.
