[yes and no.]

And at home? [vin are you a lonewolf...]

[allomantic]

[she pauses, a little surprised even though this is a perfectly normal question.]

What does that have to do with anything?

[residentflorist]

Curiosity, I guess. Is that okay? [sometimes you just like to ask questions.]

[allomantic]

...Just a bit unexpected, I suppose.

[residentflorist]

You can't used to people asking these sorts of things, are you?

[allomantic]

Not particularly, no. Not people I've just met.

[residentflorist]

[...*aren't. what the fuck was i saying there.]

If it's really that unpleasant I can stop, but...I would like to get to know you a little better. [also there's a big chance she wouldn't stop completely anyway because she's chatty by nature.]

[allomantic]

I don't see why that's necessary.

[ok vin]

[residentflorist]

Not everything has to be necessary. Sometimes it's just about wanting to.

[allomantic]

Why do you want to?

[residentflorist]

Because I'm curious about you.

[allomantic]

...There are plenty of other people to be curious about.

[as if she can't multitask]

[residentflorist]

[that actually gets a small laugh.]

You think a person can only talk to one person at a time?

[allomantic]

More that I'm sure other people will be more willing to answer your questions.

[residentflorist]

You've answered a lot of my questions so far. [pointing that out...] You sure it's really so bad?

[allomantic]

I haven't answered anything personal. I'd prefer not to.

[residentflorist]

[she shrugs.]

You never know, Vin. That benchmark might change the longer we're here. [maybe we won't have a fucking choice.]
