Beila gives Dao space. He is extremely right that she's not the best person to be sad about his dead serial killer friend with and that seems to be his principal occupation, so - space.

It's a couple of weeks before he messages her.



Want to go out for smoothies or something?
Permalink

Ranyi's trying to get rid of a weird fruit she bought a whole box of and it might be good in smoothies, you could come over.

Permalink

Sure.

Permalink

Should I come get you?

Permalink

Yeah, if it's not too much trouble. I'm still a big fan of roc rides.

Permalink
On my way.

She and Liqing show up at his place presently.

He is out front with a little wooden Liqing, which he offers to Beila.

"I made you this."
Permalink

"Aww, thank you! Look, Liqing, it's you." Liqing is not impressed. "She loves it," Beila says anyway. Waft onto bird. Pilot bird to house.

One hugs one's girlfriend round the waist when one is being ferried via roc. That is what one does.

"It took me ages to get it looking like your bird and not just a bird, I'm glad I finally got it to come out well."
Permalink

"She's totally identifiable," Beila confirms.

Permalink

Dao grins. "I feel all accomplished and stuff!"

Permalink
Liqing lets them off at Beila's house, receives scritches of the small feathers near her neck, and flies away.

Beila makes Weird Fruit Smoothies and hands Dao one.
Permalink
He tries it.

"Yep," he says. "That's a weird fruit, all right. It is both weird and fruity."
Permalink

"Yeah, it's not bad but she shouldn't have gotten quite this much of it."

Permalink

"Well, I will help you out by drinking your weird fruit smoothies."

Permalink

"I appreciate that."

Permalink

"Happy to help!"

Permalink

Sip. Sip. "You're feeling better, seems like."

Permalink

"I'm - yeah."

Permalink

"That's good."

Permalink

"Yeah. Uh, how've you been?"

Permalink

"Eating a lot of weird fruit. Conventional Avatarring stuff. I read half of a really good book on South Polar history and then lost it on the train and have it on hold again at the library."

Permalink

"Aw. That poor book, getting lost on the train."

Permalink

"Yeah. But it was awful flying weather, so I stand by my train use, I wouldn't have wanted to be late to the memorial."

Permalink

"The memorial?"
