Don't belittle yourself so much.

[ She's teasing. ]

Seems so, if you're not going to have any, too.

[ sips wine ]

Sometimes life is too busy to wine and dine someone.

[ he is playing along, it's fine. ]

Hydration before drinking. We remember how hungover certain people were last week, right?

Sometimes, you should make time for it.

[ It makes all the other shitty stuff a little less shitty. ]

We do, but one drink isn't going to hurt unless your tolerance is that low?

If I get a chance to, perhaps I will.

[ for a moment before it's all shitty again. ]

Maybe I want a water first, Medb. Don't fret.

What are you calling right now?

[ This was such an easy opening? Medb shakes her head.

She gasps. A very nice and fake gasp. ]

Who knew Yuri's tolerance was that low? The shock!

Drowning my post weekend sorrows.

[ wow. there's no food here medb how can he dine her?

pff. ]

A true tragedy. And the true reason behind my lack of wining and dining anyone. You caught me.

It'd be easier to drown in the hot tub.

[ And they don't want that. Also, there is something cursed to be said here but I absolutely refuse.

Anyway, ]

So learn to undrown yourself and make this untragic.

[ ara stop trying to run from medb propositioning him ]

If you're asking me to make you dinner, then just say that, Medb.

[ i have stopped. I HAVE GIVEN UP. medb thinks yuri is attractive, and she would've banged him five times over by now.

anyway, she takes a sip of her wine. ]

Wine and dine me, Yuri.

[ Is that asking? ]

[ (medb voice) stop wriggling out of my hands ]

Well, the wine's done.

[ it is not asking. ]

When you feel you've had enough of that, we can move to the kitchen then.

You really know how to take the romance out of something.

[ She says, after just demanding something with little romance herself. ]

I'm a practical guy. And romance is meant to be more spontaenous and less "wine and dine me, now", y'know.

[ medb. ]

[ She laughs and takes another sip of her wine. ]

Did you romance Luca?

[ Yuri. ]

[ ... ]

I got on well with him, I don't think you call that romancing.

[ how do you romance a previously deeply closeted gay man who's terrified of romance but all about banging anyway? ]

That was a bit of an out there question.

Are you doing all right?

[ It's her segue. She wasn't trying to be smooth about it. ]

I'm doing all right, yes.

[ she's a smooth talker. ]

The dead are dead. We can't do anything to change that, so. [ here he is. low key pissed they never caught who killed him, but he's practical. mostly. ]

That doesn't mean you can't feel anything about it. That doesn't mean you can't want to do something, too.

[ Emotions are emotions for a reason, Yuri? ]

Sort of missed the chance with that one, didn't we? There's not going to be a chance to re-examine the bodies now. [ thursday becks, after the town hall meeting and discussions of what happens to the bodies and looking into the camera like she's in the office ]

... It's fine. I deal with things as I do.

[ She hums. ]

I suppose that means you can cook a meal for me now.

[ She won't press him on anything now. ]

I guess I can take requests. Within reason.

[ thanks, he wouldn't tell her anyway. ]

[ Whether or not he'd say anything doesn't mean she doesn't know how to be annoying. ]

Let's see what your favorite foods are, hm?

[ opens mouth. closes mouth. ]

Surprise you, then. Is what I'm hearing.

[ She raises her eyebrows. ]

No, Yuri. Make your favorite foods. I'm not circling around a point.

No, it's still a surprise. You don't actually know what my favourite foods are.

[ heh ]

I will await your critique of my palette with baited breath.

[ She makes a face. ]

That's a technicality. Fine. I'll let you win that one.
