[It's almost endearing that she signs her name, but only almost. Truly, no one else would be messaging him... It's not that he's been avoiding her, but actually he definitely has. Urk!!]
[ it’s good to see him behaving normally, though sierra would never admit that aloud and she’s so grateful that the truth-telling apple cider wore off ages ago. she’d die if she had to say anything to reim that wasn’t masked in hundreds of layers of irony. ]
Ha ha. I’ll come up with something.
Regardless, I have a new task for you. I gave you many more days off than I intended, and now we have work to do.
[it is refreshing to be back to this usual routine, as aggravating as it's sure to be in probably just a few moments. somehow, she's the person he's closest to, here... what a life.]
I am listening, but I feel obligated to admit up front that part of that is only to be polite.
You know, this is over text. There are things you are perfectly capable of keeping to yourself. I appreciate your truth, but I would have also been happy not knowing.
Anyway. I am sick and tired of having no reliable system of bathing, and somehow the fools that have been living here haven’t had the idea to construct a public bath. My expertise is limited to someone who enjoys bathing, but I’m sure there are people to recruit.
[ sierra is in the strange position of not technically needing to bathe, enjoying it nevertheless, but also getting overheated much too quickly. she is probably one of the least likely people to use the bath, but listen, she likes to relax. ]
Yes. The castle I lived in prior to this had grand baths that were open to all of us, and it was a small but welcome comfort to have access to the hot water whenever any of us pleased.
What type of person do you take me for, exactly? There's nothing quote like the intoxicating rush of productivity, but calling every outlandish request a "challenge" is disingenuous.
[anyway, so he's going to nerd hell for all of that.]
“intoxicating” is not a word that sierra would ever in her life use in the same sentence as “productivity,” but reim certainly just did without an ounce of shame. ]
I know you’re going to do it anyway, so you can stop fussing.
What I can help you with is that we’ll need someone to keep the baths hot if we can’t find a natural spring. Nobody wants to take a bath in ambient temperature water.
The bath I used in the castle had plenty of lovely vases and marble statues. I recognize the impossibility of getting something so elaborate here, but some atmosphere would be nice.
[ there was also the time that placing a few cursed dolls in the bath turned the water the blood but that’s a story for another day ]

#FFFFE0 | she’s back
- Sierra
[ signed, like it would be anyone else… ]
no subject
Quite the opposite, actually.
I believe I owe you another couple apologies.
no subject
[ it feels silly to type that on a computer where she cannot actually listen, but the point is made!!
she’s open to reim’s apologies. ]
no subject
Well, that's it, isn't it? I am sorry. Even if I cannot control the effects of the town's... antics, I ought to have been better prepared.
no subject
I accept your apology, if only because I may have behaved a bit unnaturally as well. Unprofessionally, certainly.
Jokes about your employment aside, I’d like to pretend this never happened.
no subject
That said, pretending this never happened is perfectly acceptable. I have no idea what we could be talking about. None at all.
no subject
[ they avoided each other for days over a stupid little kiss and now it’s back to this! isn’t reim glad. ]
no subject
Oh, is that so? Then I wish you the best of luck, as it will take a while for all of creation to expire. That is my time limit.
no subject
Ha ha. I’ll come up with something.

[read: he'll be as petty as he wants, thank you for letting him know it works.]
You want me to organize the building of a bathhouse?
no subject
[ so, chop chop, reim ]
no subject
no subject
[ well, other people are drinking it. sierra is drinking blood. ]
no subject
[are you going to provide him with buckets or something, gurl]
no subject
[ this is supposed to be your job!!! ]
no subject
[god sierra, how embarrassing!!!]
no subject
[ of course, this is not a challenge so much as it is an unreasonable demand from a sheltered vampire to Just Some Dude. ]
