dappledleaves | THE WORLD: PSL LIFE

Huh? Oh, sure...

[ Sinclair blinks, thrown for a moment but he's agreeable enough]

The shops are pretty far from here though?

Hm? Don't worry about that.

[ Oria may be exhausted, but he's still thinking about Sinclair anyway. He hates boredom, so he would want to alleviate it for him as much as he can.

He grabs Sinclair's hand and pulls him over, running towards the driveway. They're taking his car and he is so ready to drive. ]

Ah--kay.

[ He was a little worried because Oria looked really tired but he does want some proper time with him. So he lets Oria drag him off]

[ And so the two adventure into the city. It may have been far, but in order to leave the Severine estate, you need a car from how vast the property is anyway. They arrive quickly. Oria didn't even have to speed! The bookstore is thankfully still open. They have an hour. ]

What kind of books are you looking to get? There's this thing called an E-reader nowadays. A Kindle. I think you'd like that.

A kindle?

[Sinclair looks over in surprise from browsing a list of best sellers]

I was just going to pick out some recommended ones that looked interesting.

Yeah, it's like a device that's book-shaped and you press a button to turn the page. The point of it is that you can read multiple books on the go without internet and it's weighs next to nothing.

[ He follows Sinclair to the list of best sellers. Twilight is on there. ]

Oh...that sounds really useful. [ There's a limit to his book carrying space in his luggage after all. He picks up Twilight because the cover looks good.]

I'll get you one, and then you can download all the books you want on it.

[ Luckily, they sell Kindles in the bookstore. Oria looks at the book. ]

Even that one.

[ Technology is so useful?? Sinclair beams at him, excited at the thought]

I wonder how many books will fit...

A lot. So many books that you won't be able to finish them all on your boat trip.

[ Oria grins. ]

So let's get one!

[Sinclair leans in to kiss Oria's cheeks]

Thanks... there's no way I can be bored on the boat now.

[ Oria grins. Ahhh nice kisses from Sinclair. ]

But still, go look around for what books you want so that we can find them to put into the Kindle! I'll go get the device itself.

[ And Oria nyooms. ]

[ Bye Oria... Sinclair watches him run off in surprise. Ah. So much energy again??

He'll pick out some books and wait with them for Oria to get for the kindle]

[ Oria comes back with the Kindle in his hands. ]

Let's go! We need some time to fill it up with books when we get home too.

[ Oria is so full of energy because he's buying stuff for Sinclair! That he actually wants without a doubt! Also because he knows how much Sinclair loves to read, so helping him with that makes his heart feel a little fuller. ]

[ Oria please... Sinclair can't help but smile though]

Then lets see if we can get these titles at least.

[ Kushiel's legacy, Twilight series, Ursula K. Le Guin are definitely on the list here ]

Got it!

[ He looks through the list on his phone that he pulled up just now. ]

Okay, they're there. Let's go pay for it and go!

[ This is so fast?? But Sinclair is happily hugging that kindle to his chest when they're done paying, reaching out to take Oria's hand again]

I don't know where you found the energy again after you said no to going out earlier ...but thank you, really.

[ Maybe Sinclair is just bad at picking places and Oria knows it? Hm..]

What? I thought you were trying to make me feel better as in "taking me away from this place and running away with just the two of us".

[ Yeah.

Yeah...

Oria holds Sinclair's hand and walks him to the car. ]

[...

Sinclair turns his words over in his head] Ah. Did it really sound like that?

[ He doesn't have that power...]

I know you'd never run away. I was just thinking... getting some fresh air. Or--

[ ...you know what he wont mention that now, he's embarrassed. Also his stomach growls loudly. aaaaaaah]

I know, but it was very tempting either way at the time.

[ Cute... Oria is very endeared. ]

Wanna go get something to eat? Though, by now there's only fast food stuff open.

[ Sinclair covers his face with his free hand to hide his blush. It's not like he hasn't thought about it...but there's this and then there's that...]

Fast food is fine. You didn't eat anything either right?

Yeah. I'm starving!

[ Now that they're inside the car... ]

Anything you won't eat?

[ Mister picky eater. ]

Oh um...squid.

[so no fried calamari for him]

Squid in fast food...

[ Oria looks at Sinclair. ]

Did you have a bad experience with one?

[ But off they go. ]

I had it in a pizza one time...it was really rubbery and hard to eat.

[unpleasantly squishy too. no thanks]
