“I would’ve thought longer.” Red picks off a piece of her burger bun and tosses it into her mouth.

“Well, I’m relatively new, but I’ve covered a lot of ground!”
-
“For sure. You got a lot farther than I did in less than a year. I’ve probably been around here for about that long—well, not here specifically, obviously.” She shrugs again.
-
“Well, I’m also probably a [i]lot[/i] faster, so that’s to be expected!”
-
“Faster? So you’ve got a nice ship?”
-
“Oh no, while I do have a good ship I use, I’m just really fast on my feet.”
-
“Ah, gotcha. That’s definitely good for exploring.”
-
“Mhm! Plus being able to outrun any threat is real helpful!”
-
“I’ve heard that Offtopic is... an exciting place to be. This might sound strange, but do you think it’s very dangerous to live here?” She doesn’t quite seem to realize that Dal has a special kind of speed.
-
“A bit, but it ain’t bad if you know how to fight!”
-
Red nods and stares at the corner of the table blankly. Then her eyes lift back up to Dal. “Fair. And what happened with those... horsemen? Did you hear about that? Do those happen often?”

-
Her features soften even more at Dal’s answer, and a bright grin grows on her face. “Oh, great! Sorry about all of the questions, but thank you for answering them.”
-
“Hey it’s no problem! I like helping people out!” *Dally chuckles a little.*
-
“That’s... a refreshing quality. Outside of my family, Im not very used to it.” She takes a quick bite of her food.
-
“Really? Hm...” *Dal quietly thinks for a moment than shakes her head.*
-
Red blinks. “What’s up?”
-
“Oh, it’s nothing, nothing at all.” *She isn’t very convincing.*
-
“Right. And fire isn’t hot.” She crosses her arms over the table. “There’s obviously [i]something[/i] on your mind.”
-
“It’s alright, what you said just made me think about some stuff, let’s just move on.”
-
Red nods. “Sure. Anything you want to touch on?”
-
“Mhm! I’ve talked a lot about Offtopic, but I haven’t really learned much about you.”
-
Red clears her throat, and her knee begins bouncing under the table as before. “Right. What do you want to know?”
-
Modifié par Dislay : 11/24/2020 6:01:26 AM“Whatever you’re comfortable talking about. I... understand wanting to keep some stuff to yourself.”
-
Her eyes drift to the corner of the table again. She replies at length, choosing her words carefully. “All right... uh, long story short, I lived with a family of five, not including myself. We had a house on a quiet street; then things changed, and I’m trying to help ‘em out.” Her hand brushes her white scarf. “Not sure if that’s what you were looking for.”
-
*Dal nods* “Do you need any help?”
