( Ignis. Kate. Thinking.
Really. )

Shoot.

Would you think less of me if I spiked Richie's food with the local equivalent of calidus peppers?

Re: text;

[dedikated]

Depends what those are.

Unpalatably hot. I found some two days ago and only recently regained full sensation across the back of my throat.

( Oh is that all. She was half-worried they'd be laxatives. But the idea gets a soft huff of laughter from her. )

Could do worse to him.
Might need to check that you're fully recovered first.

( Y'know, for science. )

[claritatis]

Is that an offer?

[dedikated]

Do work at the clinic.

( Kate that is neither your function at the clinic nor how you'd go about it in the first place. )

Could I persuade you to make a house call?

[dedikated]

Long as the door's locked.

I'll make sure of it.

[claritatis]

Good. I'm proud of you.

[claritatis]

I have an idea. He may never eat my food again, but it will certainly suffice.

[stantheman]

That seems unlikely but it sounds like you have something good in mind.

What is it?

[claritatis]

There is a particular pepper here. Quite unpalatable, unless you happen to enjoy the sensation of having every one of your tastebuds seared off.

Ignis—

I thought you might be interested to know that I managed to find some coffee beans while I was scavenging after the move. They're not in the best of shape but... I thought if anyone would be willing to try them with me, it would be you.

Voice; after Kate's network post

[knifecollecting]

Hey, so, you good to your girlfriends?

[claritatis]

[Oh. This again.

His response is cool - not quite chilly, but almost.]

I don't believe that's anyone's business to ask, save one.

[knifecollecting]

[At least she isn't doing this on video, okay. Or in person.]

Yeah? I'm asking anyway. Kate needs someone good.

[claritatis]

And do you not trust her to make that decision for herself?

[knifecollecting]

I've been around long enough to know sometimes people see a pretty face and forget the rest.

[So...]

Just making sure.

[claritatis]

I'm sure she'd be charmed to know that you have so little faith in her.

[A short, sharp sigh.]

I will tell you the same thing that I told Rose. I will watch out for her as much as she allows it, but I have no intentions of making whatever happens between us into a public spectacle. I believe her to be entirely capable of sound judgement when it comes to myself and her judgement is the only one I deem to be relevant in this particular matter.

[knifecollecting]

I'd say the same thing about myself. [She's not always had a perfect record.]

That's all I wanted to hear. Make good choices.

[stantheman]

Temporary right?

text / 15th, evening.

[dedikated]

You alright?

( She's reasonably sure he's been sensible enough to, you know, not go out in this. But still. )

[claritatis]

I'm fine. I managed to save my glasses from being sandblasted, but I'm afraid things have been a little unfocused since.

I'm sure it will pass.

Are you?
