[Okay, so, he's normal. As normal as he gets. There's a small undercurrent of relief, very small, she's mostly just happy to go out drinking.]
'Course I do! I've put my finger in every pie here, at least as far as taverns go.
[Hopefully metaphorically speaking!!! Unless she ate the pies afterwards, which she would.]
It's by the canals, and for good reason -- look for the building that's got a bunch of cats hanging around it, can't miss it! It's called The Lion's Den! I'll meetcha when I meetcha!
[they're going into the lion's den i'm so sorry i couldn't resist]
[I both cannot believe you and yet I am completely unsurprised!!!!
Yeager doesn't have any problem finding the place and while he's waiting for Sigrun he'll just... play with the cats. As you do. These cats are probably spoiled rotten, how adorable. He's got his briefcase with him as usual, but that's because Yeager's incapable of going anywhere unarmed. He'll be content to play with the cats until Sigrun shows up!]
[Good!!! The cats are there to keep rats away and also keep drunk patrons calm, it's the fucking best place there are so many cats. They're absolutely spoiled rotten.
The cats apparently also know Sigrun, because they're going to drift away from Yeager and yowl their greetings at her. The Friendly Giant has arrived. And she has a fish. That's why, that's why they like her.]
You know, didn't even think about asking you if you had any problems with them. [There you go, kitties!! Take your fish.] But I'm glad you don't!
[wouldn't it be terrible to be allergic to them??? so terrible.]
What's with the case? It's not like we're going anywhere but here. Probably.
[Of course!!! When you visit someone, you should bring them something, that is the law of her land. Because she likes getting things and therefore has to do it first.]
Just in case, huh?
[........ OH. OH!!!! YOU GOT HER, SHE GOT IT, SHE TOOK A MOMENT BUT SHE'S LAUGHING.]
Just in case! Oh, oh, that's a good one! [If she could clap right, she would, but she's hitting her arm softly!!!] Sorry this won't be brief, unless you run off on me like before!
I think most people stick around and help out those who find themselves under the table, bangs, but sure, you can leave me on my own! I've never fought in a bar I couldn't win in!
[Let her hook them up with a table, some booze, and plenty of cats!!! So many cats. Look at all of them, it's honestly kind of ridiculous? Even the alcohol's cat-themed. This place is great.
... She's gonna ask him a question when he gets layered in cats but she is patient! She can await the moment.]
That's precisely why I'm fine leaving you on your own!
[And also because he would totally find that a good idea at the time and it's not. Bar fights are not a good idea ever.
Anyway, it doesn't take him long to end up covered in cats, because cats are just Like That, they find the one person who doesn't want to be covered in cats and then they won't get off. They're going to rip his suit if he tries to move them. He's going to have so much cat fur on his suit, this is ridiculous. Why is there a white one on his pants...]
...And here I was hoping you'd let me escape from that one unscathed.
[Unlike these cats. CAN YOU PLEASE NOT DIG YOUR CLAWS INTO HIS LEG, OWW. Give him a second to get that one off of him before he resettles. And then pats that cat on the head, because its a good little fighter!!]
It depends entirely on the context! It's not really important, don't concern yourself with it.
[The temperature is rapidly dropping though despite his smile.]
[It's a kind of cautious question, since he didn't really react well last time and... the temperature dropping is not a nice thing, she can tell that too.]
[He's not going to get out of this one. No amount of pretty words or distractions will work on Sigrun, he's pretty sure of that. Yeager really dislikes telling the truth and he hates admitting that he has problems, but here we are anyway.]
I interpreted what you said as romantic interest. It's not something I handle well, that's all.
[Which is all true! It's just definitely not the whole story. Even his usual cheerful smile is sort of suffering now.]
You're absolutely right, it's completely ridiculous. Even if you were crazy enough to attempt something like that, there's no telling when someone could disappear from here! Living in separate worlds is another issue entirely! It's very stupid.
[The temperature's settled back to normal and Yeager seems to have gotten over whatever was going on in his head, but then again he is always here for shittalking so that probably explains everything.]
[Good, good, she's here to relax with a pal, not to get awkwardly serious. All she wanted was an explanation and she got one!]
Seriously. I feel pretty bad for anyone who's gotten tied like that here, you know? Like, what're you gonna do if you can't go back with them or something like that?
[Boooy. What a damn shame.]
I'm definitely never getting trapped like that ever! I mean, if I couldn't find anyone back home that could keep up with me, there's no way there's someone like that here!
...Well actually, wouldn't the odds of that be higher? There are quite a lot of unique individuals here.
[Hell, he likes most of the people he's met here better than the ones he knows back home. With two notable exceptions, of course.]
Not that I'm saying you should be looking for such a silly thing, of course! Enjoying yourself is one thing, trying to seek out romance here is a dreadful idea.
[Actually, there's a couple of people who kind of keep up with her. Or that she enjoys enough to make keep pace with her.
(Aligula thought she and Kimbley were dating and that was a T h i n g.)]
Well, at least we can agree it's definitely stupid! A total waste of time! I'm not going to tell anyone to break up or anything, because that's really rude and that's their own business, but boy you will never catch me in a relationship like that!
Ja, agreed! I certainly won't pry into anyone else's business, but I do have to wonder about people who decide to pursue it. It seems so pointless! You're only setting yourself up to hurt should something happen to your partner!
[And like, yeah, some people are masochists but not that many, right?? Who the hell would be here for emotional pain, that's dumb.]
I have no doubts you'll get plenty of answers! I'm sure there are plenty of people who will try to argue that it's normal to date someone here! That should be interesting.
And I've got oooone simple answer that works against them: It's stupid.
[SHE PUNCTURES THAT WITH HER FIST HITTING THE TABLE, she's serious.]
Anyway, about the whole deal with my elk winning -- I think I've got a good prize in mind besides the obvious satisfaction I'm going to have watching Thorim kick your fancy ass.
[...You know, he had no idea what he expected, but it wasn't that.]
That shouldn't be too difficult at all. Depending on how long you've been here and how much you've saved up, it should be relatively simple to purchase property. Admittedly it isn't something I've looked into, but that can easily be arranged.
[He's not rich enough for that yet but getting a house is definitely on his to do list. Oh hey, there actually is a thing on his bucket list!! He's gonna have to tell Aligula that at some point. Anyway, this is... a surprisingly sane request.]
[Her and her cat roommate want to move out of the city and into someplace a little more quiet.
Also so she can have like ten spitting glow worms and Thorim.]
Great! I'm getting really sick of this crowded city, and so's my little charge, so we figure moving out a little bit into the country'll do us good! Not too far, since this place is nice and I've got my job and all, but far enough.

Well, I'm not interested in that kind of thing [right now??? here???] so you don't have to worry about that! I just wanted to do this.
[Hang out. Have a drink. Be covered in cats.]
