Snowpoint City
-Walking around-
You know, they could really invest in a bunch of snowplows around here.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Sarah: I don't blame you... honestly, it makes me nervous. That any part of me would willingly do... that.
-She takes a sip-
Sarah: When Abel fucked with my memories, I was horrified at myself. I mean, I despised him, I wanted him dead and I won't deny that I did, but... thinking, for the few weeks that I did, that I was the one who did him in... I-I swore to myself I'd never do anything to hurt anyone like that ever again. And look long that lasted...

Lucius shakes his head.
Lucius: You didn't do anything to hurt me like he did. Trust me, I wouldn't be sitting here if you had.
He sips at his coffee.
Lucius: I'm trying to work on leaving the past in the past. Remember what I used to be like? I was a wreck. The way I see it, new body means new start. I can't say I've stuck to that philosophy as well as I'd like, but... I don't want some bad memory to stop us from taking another shot at this.

-Sarah nods idly-
Sarah: Yeah, I suppose... I'm just afraid of fucking up again.

Lucius smiles nervously.
Lucius: Hey, third time's the charm, right?

-Sarah manages a smile again-
Sarah: That's what I was hoping. This time, we'll do it right.

- DS and Linnéa may be around somewhere, trying to make some snow sculptures resembling different Pokémon -

Lucius: I'll drink to that. I'm too pretty to die alone again.
He takes another sip of his coffee.

Route 217, yesterday
Daydre makes sure to hold on, but avoids pulling on Röntgen's fur.
Snowpoint, today
Daydre's here, I guess.

-Sarah chuckles-
Sarah: Let's not let you die with me either. Keep the dying to a minimum, y'know?

Lucius: I'd say once is enough for me. It seems to work for most people. And hey, I've handed most of the dangerous work off to someone I trust.
He smiles and gives Sarah what he presumably believes is a knowing look, but probably just makes him seem like he's got something in his eye.

-Sarah blinks, but decides not to press on about what he was talking about-
Sarah: Yeah, you even have the firsthand experience to say once is enough. Most don't. Well, except Straw, but he's a statistical outlier and should not be counted.

Lucius finishes off his coffee.
Lucius: That's good. It means I don't have to deal with any competition from the field of undead Obscura zombies.

Sarah: Yep, you're one of a kind. Probably. We've got plenty of ghosts, but you're our first zombie.

Lucius: Well, technically two-of-a-kind. Whatever manner of undead construct I am, Alice is one too. I'm definitely the most attractive zombie we have on staff, though.
He leans back confidently in his chair.

He stands up.
Lucius: So, want me to go get another round, or should we call it a night?

Lucius raises an eyebrow jokingly.
Lucius: That eager to get rid of me, huh? Fair enough. Like most of the sweeter things in life, you're better off saving some of me for later.
He offers his hand.
Lucius: May I walk you back, at least?

-Sarah giggles and takes Lucius's hand-
Sarah: Of course. It would just be rude to leave a girl alone out in the cold anyway.

Gonna hold off on posting CU stuff until a particular SOMEONE *cough*@Verax *cough* posts for his twins.

-Meanwhile, a nearby couple are having a much less romantic interaction.-
Dune: It's cold.
Deziree: Yes, I know it's cold, but you're in ski gear. If we bundled you up any more I'd have to roll you everywhere.
Dune: I'm going inside.
-Deziree sighs in defeat.-
Deziree: Fine, go inside. I'll be up with dinner later.
Dune: Thank you.

-Jason does in fact overhear Tagg-
-And by that I mean it's possible he walked past a Jason shaped mound of snow-
Jason:Nah, ya fink?
-Could be the wind-
-Also of note!-
-Maria loves the snow and is currently making snow angels with the Iggy-
-Lane on the other hand-
Maria:Is that...really necessary?
-Lane's bundled up in the warmest way he can, aka covered in HIS TEAM-
Lane:-muffled by Typhlosion belly and offscreen evolved Ninetails, uh...tails-Completely. I hate the cold.
-Maria sweatdrops-
Maria:It's still a bit mu-
-And Iggy hops into the pile-
Iggy:Papa is a floof! :D
Lucius stirs his cafe au lait, which was listed on the menu as "Save Me From The Dark (Coffee)".
Lucius: Oh, right. I understand, I just... I want to know that it was Sarah who asked me out, 100%. I get that you can't really be sure, and you never asked to be one person again, but...
He looks down into his drink.
Lucius: ...No offence, that other part of you makes me kinda nervous.
