( she may have saved up some money for this, but she didn't mind finding something else to do in case hella was arrested, okay!! )
Yes, I've gotten us the best seats that allows us to see the stars later tonight. I rarely see them from my window.
( stars are almost a myth to her, but somehow, the sky cracks at night, and there's a few that can be seen. however, it's pretty sunny right now so they'll have to wait in order to see anything up there. )
If someone took our chairs then we would have to stand and see them! I just can't imagine it!
Oh, yes you were. If you had cancelled you'd be all like —
[ She feigns a sad little sigh, a dramatized simulation of dejection. Even though she's feeling playful again, now that the stress of stealing a car and evading the cops is behind her, she really does think it might've upset her if Hella hadn't have been able to make it. Disappointed, maybe.]
But sure, my poor Furina can't bear to stand too long. [ She gives her a pat in the center of her back, half-joking. She knows it's a legitimate strain on her, so her teasing doesn't go too far, but she also can't help but laugh a little at the prospect of standing around being something unbearable. ] Actually, let's sit down for a bit right now. I wanna look at the sea.
( it would have been upsetting, but she would have masked it easily, and probably pouted about it later. she's spent about 500 years faking it to make it, what's a few days more?
however, she is happy that hella is here, accepting the pat, furina smiles softly as she follows right behind her. they can take any seat, but since she wants to be close to the sea, they should choose the ones by the edge to watch as the sea sparkles before them, a bright blue. )
They're going to take us to a small island.
( furina mentions, sitting down in a seat before crossing her legs. )
[ Hella plops down gracelessly on one of the chairs closest to the edge next to Furina, lounging like she owns the place. Then, she stretches out fully, settling in like a cat would. ]
Why would I care? That just means we get to stay on here for longer, right?
[ Her eyes are twinkling as she looks out at the ocean; the sea in DisCity is murky with contamination, and overrun by Corruptors. There's not really such a thing as "going to the beach," except in the richer parts of Eastside. This is truly a sight she's never had, and it's as though she's trying to burn it into her memory. ]
( she peeks over the railing to stare at the water, odd-eyes watching it fondly as she finds herself at ease around it. furina will never be able to live in a place where the sea could not guide her, and even now, she seems rather connected with it the way she looks out to the distance.
her hair flutters from the window, short against her neck as a hand lifts there to rub at the area. )
In Fontaine, there's many boats to ride, and aircrafts that will take you to the sea above!
( there's one thing that stays the same throughout: )
No matter what you do, you'll always witness... this.
[ She perks up, looking even more excited than before. ]
I love airships and flying around. Going above the sea sounds a million times better than the boring desert...
[ Sand is all she could for miles in every direction the last time she got the privilege of being in an airship.... how nice would it be to fly somewhere scenic on one? It'd feel just like a real vacation. ]
Let's go on one next time! Is it easy to get on one in Fontaine? Heh, don't tell me you have a private one...
Would you believe me if I told you there's docking stations we can go to?
( she's sort of cute when she gets excited, much like a child offered a new experience or basically candy, maybe that's how life is like for her nowadays. making her way over to hella, she'll take a seat closest to her with a tired smile. )
You don't have to think of me as rich and fancy, I'm just like every other person making it day by day...!
( actually, she may have a personal one, but she's not going to bring up any of her rich-y endeavors. )
[ Furina's smile might be tired, but Hella is energized once more by this news, closing her eyes with delight while she pictures it. Breezily: ]
I know. Even though you're a bit high-class, you're still about the same as me.
[ And most "high-class" people would see that as an insult, she's sure. But Furina has worried over her, made great efforts to see her and show her things she's never gotten to see before. If Hella had sensed even an ounce of condescension, she would've dipped long ago. No, they're on the same level, as far as Hella is concerned. ]
( she's fallen from the heavens and lives the life of a commoner so she doesn't take offense to what's said. hella's right, furina has no reason to look down on her, and they're practically walking the same pace.
unwanted and living. )
What? Yes, who can't?
( even she believes that hella could drive one if she knew how to, but they're a little more specific in fontaine when it comes to turning them on.
she'd never be able to hi-jack one. )
Normally some have a set route to give you a decent tour, and there are others we could take sincerely wherever you want to go.
Um, I can't! Chief wouldn't let me steer the airship last time we were on one...
[ Which she's still a little put out about. But that just means she'll have to strong arm her way into getting a turn on a Fontaine one. She turns on her side in the chair to look at Furina by her side straight on, propping up her cheek with a hand. ]
I guess I don't know the Fontaine area very well, so you'd have to give me some recommendations. [ Briefly, she looks up in thought. ] Like, what's your favorite place to go there?
( she's learning something new so hella has never drove one before, but she's certainly been on it. another reason why she should be hesitant about letting her take the wheel with no experience under her belt. )
There's many places in the Court that I could take you to: Café Lutece has a wonderful sea of tea, while the Chioriya Boutique has a variety of clothes, the creator can make you anything personal. Hotel Debord normally have a limited 16-slices-a-day-cake! It's really something to die for!
( those are just a few places, but there's so much going on in fontaine as it's a bustling country with so much to do— she thinks that hella would find something interesting everywhere she went, her attention is pretty simple... she likes fun things, and a creative place like fontaine will keep her attention. )
I love to watch the opera as you know, so that's something I would suggest. Also, the sights underwater... being able to breathe and swim, it's almost like walking on land.
( these places are mentioned due to the fact that anything in fontaine is worth the visit, there's about no place she wouldn't go. )
We could visit the Melusines... but ah, that's being ambitious.
16 slices a day!? It's gotta be fucking awesome...
[ Furina's right... her interests are pretty simple. Tasty food and a cool view are more than enough to entertain her, and as such, Fontaine ends up sounding like a pretty cool place to be, sans the stuffy President, or whatever he's called. She looks excited just day dreaming about what they'll do when they get there, even though there's already plenty to be excited about here on the boat. ]
So we'll do the opera, and the underwater thing, have some snacks... I've really been needing a week or two off, anyway. [ she flops back onto her back, eyes returning to the sea. ] What's the Melusines? Some kind of museum? I've only ever been to an art one.
( taking hella to fontaine is both good and bad for the simple fact that there are some people who don't appreciate furina like they once did, and there are others who still revere her as archon. she doesn't want anyone treating hella different due to her change in status, so maybe she can request someone else to tour her around.
there are melusines for that. )
They're an important piece of Fontaine, you can think of them... as miniature helpers.
( if only furina could show her what they're like, and then it comes to mind as soon as she peers out over the bars, one hand raising up to guide a suitable amount of water on board.
with a snap of her fingers, a figure made out of water appears, blue and see-through. )
Anything you need, a Melusine can provide while upholding justice.
( fontaine is very justice coded, hella might end up in jail. )
[ Her eyes twinkle as the water takes shape, leaning in way closer than is necessary to it. A part of her is curious what will happen if she pokes the water sculpture while Furina's controlling it, and she waggles her hand as if joking about doing it. ]
You even have cute animal helpers, like a movie princess. [ Like Bisney.... anyways. ] "Upholding justice," "representing Fontaine," it all sounds so serious, but these guys are so cute. I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry if I got arrested by one.
( there's so much about where furina comes from that hella wouldn't know how to digest it all, so many nations and interesting things to do. the charm on her belt continues to flash blue as furina sculpts the little mascot, pulling her hand away for the melusine to salute. )
The Iudex I mentioned to you before, he brought them all to Fontaine. They're happy there, and tend to love their jobs, but you should watch out... they're pretty serious about it too.
( they would definitely try and arrest hella if she did something she wasn't supposed to, and the creation even skips over to hella, bowing before bursting into a batch of bubbles. they pop with a harmonious tune close to humming, an unknown song before they disappear one by one. )
When you're done with your job, maybe you can find a place of residence within Teyvat.
[ Idly, she plays with the bubbles after the creation bursts into them, fully amused by the display. ]
Oh, you mean working with the Chief?
[ With all the bubbles gone, her gaze returns to Furina, her hair blowing gently in the breeze. The truth is, she doesn't think of the far off future much; in Syndicate, no tomorrow is a guarantee, even for someone like her. Leaving has crossed her mind here and there, of course, but never very seriously. ]
Sounds fun, though I guess the work will never technically be done. Maybe I could hop back and forth between, just so those little guys don't think I'm a fugitive or something. But I'd also get worried about mania spreading to Teyvat and Fontaine...
[ She says the words casually, even though it's obviously a touchy topic for those that come from her world. Sinners are less afraid of mania because they're already so infected with it — most others are scared to be around it in the smallest portions. ]
How come I can't just live with you? That'd save money.
( furina doesn't fully understand mania, she wonders if it's a sort of sickness that's yet to reach the corners of teyvat. there are curses that stem from a fallen nation, and part of her wonders if it's like that. if so, she can understand why the other worries so much, but with furina having been around a few people it's not like she's contracted anything.
then again, she doesn't know who has mania and who doesn't. it could be a blessing that she's managed to avoid it, but it is a serious subject to hella of all people. )
You can't stay with me!
( because her house is junky as hell, and she lives in fontaine with all sorts of goings-on. also from the fact that hella living with a false archon isn't on anyone's bucket list, furina's a sham, and that also brings issues to the table for those that don't really know her.
she doesn't want to embarrass herself in front of hella, there's also the fact she worries about the concept of fontaine, she can't steal things like she does. it'd just be a bad place all together to keep hella when she has such sticky fingers.
if hella did live with her, things such as housing would be free, but there are other important matters. )
Also. You can't swim, can you live in a nation full of water?
[ She actually looks taken off guard by this... she assumed Furina would totally invite her in and want to show her all the cool trinkets she most definitely has in her house. In her mind's eye, it's like an underwater palace, with shimmering floors and pretty fountains everywhere. Or, something more humble, since she's said she left behind her old job.
And, there's still the matter of her "godhood," whatever she meant by that. Her brow knits, puzzled. ]
Isn't there boats and stuff? It's not like I need to swim everywhere, right? [ She waves a hand, flippant. ] I let you see my cell!
( it's messy, it's horrible, she doesn't even have food in the fridge and also it's just not a place to invite anyone.
she thinks back to when clorinde cleaned up all her clothes because furina is.... a slob, oh, if hella only knew then she'd make fun of her and...
and...
move out. )
What if you fall out the boat? There's monsters, and lots of water, and it would bore you having to deal with these things. You wouldn't want to live with me.
But I deal with monsters and gross stuff everyday... it's basically my job! Not to mention I only ever lived in shitholes before the MBCC. So what if I get some water on me?
[ Pouting, she crosses her arms while still reclining in the chair, giving Furina a hard stare before averting her eyes to the ocean. Furina's seen her living conditions... and knows that she grew up on the streets... she must know that it's not like Hella thinks she'll be walking into a five star hotel, right? Yes, she must know that. So, Hella assumes there must be some other reason for her avoidance, these quickly fired off excuses. ]
If you don't want me there, just say that. [ She huffs, sounding a little stung. Despite her being miffed, the sentiment seems to be genuine — much as she likes to play and scam, she prefers to be straightforwardly honest with those who are her companions. ] I thought you wanted me to come, though.
( listen, can a girl who is pathetic not be a little insecure if she likes someone? they're friends... yes, friends. girl friends who hang out so of course furina would be worried about showing her living situation. )
When you say it like that it makes me feel bad...
( look at her, she's already sighing tiredly as she leans against the railings.
hella has said a lot about herself, showed her cell, and gave so much more than what furina would gave expected.
ugh.... )
Okay. Okay... You have to promise that what you see... you won't think of me differently.
( a little guiltily and pouting works, you know. especially when a little seagull flies over by the railing, standing on it and looking in the direction of furina's hat then ... if hella has her beanie then that is also a point of interest. )
[ Oh, the pouting worked... she'll have to store away this tactic for another time. To tell the truth, she didn't expect Furina to give in so easily; she'd thought she would move on or weasel away with some promise of talking about it later. So, she blinks owlishly, looking surprised. And confused. Especially at the seagull eyeing her and Furina's hats. ]
You're acting like there's a dead body in there or something! God.
[ Should she be concerned??? Hella keeps her arms folded, but the tension in them drops a bit, her nails picking at her biceps idly. ]
I promise that whatever's in there won't make me think of you differently. Happy? [ She tries to introduce more levity back into her tone, reaching out to give Furina a fake little punch in the shoulder, light enough to be joking, but firm enough to try to knock her out of being concerned about this. ] You'd have to have something insane in store to scare me off.
( maybe because hella is so cute that it worked which could be the case, but it's not so bad if furina puts her mind to it. clean it, maybe say she's busy and hella can't come over yet, there's a lot of things she can say.
besides, it's not like she ever said when she could come over. )
I might.
( she doesn't, but she could, it's just... a very messy house, an unhealthy living situation, for her to act as if her life is so put together... it's easy to tell that furina has let herself go in some ways. however, that's what happens when the world hates you for lying about something so important. )
Now, I know talking about my house isn't as interesting, as this... look, do you see that?
( she turns to point at something in the sea, but there's that seagull again, hopping close to hella, and eyeing her hat with interest. furina's a little confused by its actions, watching it herself to see what it's doing. it has the movements of a creature that's up to something.
it hops over to hella's folded chair, sitting on the arm rest and opening its mouth. )
[ She muses, tugging her eyes away from what Furina was pointing at to look at the seagull instead. Now, being a Syndican, she knows when someone has a glint of mischief or trickery in their eyes. This bird is giving major suspicious vibes, and her kneejerk reaction to that is to try to scare it off — luckily, she's grown up enough to not shout at it or do something drastic. Instead, she just waves a hand a bit at it, pursing her lips. ]
Go on, shoo. I don't have any food.
[ Just then, the seagull does jump up, allegedly in response to the shooing — but really? To snap its beak around the puffball at the top of Hella's hat, trying to take it with it in its escape. Hella grabs the bottom edge just in time, but now she and the seagull are in a tug of war above her head, and she's lowkey losing. ]
What the — what the fuck!!
[ She squawks, waving her free arm wildly, which may or may not smack Furina in the process. ]
( hella has this, furina just knows hella can win against a seagull, but she can't help the way her eyes widen, and a small laugh leaves from between her lips. really, hella does have a pretty decent hat that an animal would love to play with. furina brings one hand to her mouth to muffle the noise, until she is too hit with the other's free arm— )
H-Hey!? What am I supposed to do!!
( other than sit here and laugh, this is not her battle, but furina's already making her way over to try and touch at the seagull (who will possibly flap its wings away) in her attempt to help.
she doesn't want to cripple the bird, but she thinks that grabbing for it at its side to tug it away might work. as long as she doesn't lose her grip on it. the bird is flapping its feet, not wanting to let go of the hat... to it, this is a spoils of war, and it wants it! this is normal on cruise ships, but there might be a few people flashing their cameras at the scene with interest.

( a little guiltily and pouting works, you know. especially when a little seagull flies over by the railing, standing on it and looking in the direction of furina's hat then ... if hella has her beanie then that is also a point of interest. )
A house is telling of what a person is like!!

You're acting like there's a dead body in there or something! God.
[ Should she be concerned??? Hella keeps her arms folded, but the tension in them drops a bit, her nails picking at her biceps idly. ]
I promise that whatever's in there won't make me think of you differently. Happy? [ She tries to introduce more levity back into her tone, reaching out to give Furina a fake little punch in the shoulder, light enough to be joking, but firm enough to try to knock her out of being concerned about this. ] You'd have to have something insane in store to scare me off.

besides, it's not like she ever said when she could come over. )
I might.
( she doesn't, but she could, it's just... a very messy house, an unhealthy living situation, for her to act as if her life is so put together... it's easy to tell that furina has let herself go in some ways. however, that's what happens when the world hates you for lying about something so important. )
Now, I know talking about my house isn't as interesting, as this... look, do you see that?
( she turns to point at something in the sea, but there's that seagull again, hopping close to hella, and eyeing her hat with interest. furina's a little confused by its actions, watching it herself to see what it's doing. it has the movements of a creature that's up to something.
it hops over to hella's folded chair, sitting on the arm rest and opening its mouth. )
You're good with animals, right?

[ She muses, tugging her eyes away from what Furina was pointing at to look at the seagull instead. Now, being a Syndican, she knows when someone has a glint of mischief or trickery in their eyes. This bird is giving major suspicious vibes, and her kneejerk reaction to that is to try to scare it off — luckily, she's grown up enough to not shout at it or do something drastic. Instead, she just waves a hand a bit at it, pursing her lips. ]
Go on, shoo. I don't have any food.
[ Just then, the seagull does jump up, allegedly in response to the shooing — but really? To snap its beak around the puffball at the top of Hella's hat, trying to take it with it in its escape. Hella grabs the bottom edge just in time, but now she and the seagull are in a tug of war above her head, and she's lowkey losing. ]
What the — what the fuck!!
[ She squawks, waving her free arm wildly, which may or may not smack Furina in the process. ]
Furina!! Do something!!

H-Hey!? What am I supposed to do!!
( other than sit here and laugh, this is not her battle, but furina's already making her way over to try and touch at the seagull (who will possibly flap its wings away) in her attempt to help.
she doesn't want to cripple the bird, but she thinks that grabbing for it at its side to tug it away might work. as long as she doesn't lose her grip on it. the bird is flapping its feet, not wanting to let go of the hat... to it, this is a spoils of war, and it wants it! this is normal on cruise ships, but there might be a few people flashing their cameras at the scene with interest.
good media to upload on their TweeTle pages. )
Can you yank it??
