Doesn't help with money, and it probably ain't somethin' you should like, actively want, but there's always a chance he'll get summoned. I got here two months after my ex.
[ Which is a drastic and perhaps not-altogether-correct simplification of the relationship, but it's the simplest way she can think of to quickly convey what Lloyd was to her. In reality, he both was an ex and wasn't -- it wasn't an exclusive relationship and he no longer provided the vast majority of what she wanted from him, but neither had she been willing to separate from him until only a few months ago. He'd wronged her and she told him to fuck off, they weren't really together when he disappeared, but because of where they came from and what they went through together, she's not capable of feeling indifferent toward him. She is still deep in the fallout of his disappearing, and she doesn't know if or when it will clear up. She might very well drink herself to death before she truly gets over him.
With a hum, she tilts her head side to side, as if to waffle back and forth on her thought process. ]
Yeah, try livin' somewhere there's almost no other Summoned. I think it's a little... weird? Kinda, to sleep with the locals. I don't know why, it just feels off. Also, I used to work in a tavern, so I've had my fill of how the dicks in this world think they can treat women. [ This world is not exactly politically correct in their approach to sexual harassment. Know what doesn't usually turn women on? Getting their ass slapped or pinched while they drop off drinks. ] But it was just me, Nadine, my ex and one other girl we took in, so I could only make it work through the Horizon. Which was great, but not the same. It's good for folks in other factions though.
[ Smirking at his question, she leans back in her chair, takes another drink as she casts her eyes around the room. That's not really how she functions. ]
Depends on what I want outta 'em. But for the most part, I follow the rule of sixes.
