[it might be a little weird considering their few interactions have been filled with animosity, but! Catra seeks Lalli out sometime on Tuesday, finding him at the pool area. doing Lalli things! whatever that entails]
What a miserable place for anyone to spend their time.
[she glances at the pool derisively, tail flicking]
[it is definitely time to leave!! Catra gives the pool one last look before she falls into step behind Lalli. she did have a purpose for seeking him out, after all]
[it's fine tho she'll get her summer-themed smoothie and slurp on it while his HONEY HIMBO smoothie is made!! and she'll observe his reaction after he takes his first sip]
[she is digging through these piles of clothing for something warm. also, weirdly enough! her arm isn't in a sling anymore!! huh]
[when she spots him, she stands up a little straighter, tail flicking behind her. also please note she's barefoot so she walked here like that in the snow]

week one, tuesday
What a miserable place for anyone to spend their time.
[she glances at the pool derisively, tail flicking]
God a moment, Bee Boy?
no subject
[He objects to this name. But he does not object to her observations about the pool.]
I don't know why they even have it. You can just swim in a lake if you really want to swim. And it smells horrible.
no subject
[tail flick. she isn't changing it]
I don't see the appeal of swimming at all. Sounds more like a miserable time than anything else to me.
no subject
Deep water is dangerous. Shallow water is a pain. And this water smells weird. I don't get any of it.
no subject
Some plant guy said it had chemicals in it. Don't look at me; that just makes me want to touch it even less.
no subject
[So that means it's time to leave! Catra can come too, she's not as annoying today.]
no subject
Anyway, stupid pastimes aside. . .
Let's go get something to eat.
[???]
no subject
...why?
[lookin kinda sus there Catra.]
no subject
[because she wants to do a task but she isn't going to tell HIM that because she thinks he might refuse her if she does??]
no subject
...alright. What do you want to eat?
[Hopefully not anything from that terrible bakery.]
no subject
Do you know what a burger is?
[she has been introduced to burgers now and she loves them]
no subject
[Meat on bread is a very common food, given how easy it is to make.
He only eats the insides though, there will be buns lying around when he is done.]
no subject
Then that's what we're having. Maybe with a side of smoothies.
no subject
[Oh look, new food to introduce him to!]
no subject
[she literally just discovered smoothies herself, this is perfect]
no subject
[With their two catbrains combined, they can unlock the mystery of the smoothie.]
no subject
That's the point, Bee Boy.
[anyway they're at the cafeteria now! she beelines for the smoothie place]
Don't ask me what any of those words describing the flavor means, because I have no idea. But Summer's is the best.
[obviously]
no subject
And also, just to be contrary, he's going to make himself a smoothie of Honey Himbo.]
no subject
[it's fine tho she'll get her summer-themed smoothie and slurp on it while his HONEY HIMBO smoothie is made!! and she'll observe his reaction after he takes his first sip]
no subject
He drinks it, and he makes a face, but he keeps drinking it.
Then he gets brain freeze and squeezes his eyes shut.]
no subject
[she laughs in that cute squeaky way she does]
Your face!
no subject
[He's rubbing at his forehead. Braiinfreeze aaaa]
no subject
[she pauses, blinks a few times, and then looks at her smoothie like it might kick a puppy??]
no subject
And then he drinks from his smoothie again.]
It's fine, it's just for a little bit.
no subject
[well. she'll move on to the chicken place so they can order burgers now]
no subject
[Do it do it chug chug chug
He'll still follow her over to get the borger. When they get their food he is immediately removing it from the bun and just eating the meat.]
no subject
[. . . maybe she'll try later IF HE FINDS HER ON THE GROUND DYING OF BRAINFREEZE HE WILL KNOW IT'S HIS FAULT]
[also once they have their burgers she watches him toss the buns aside with a lightly bewildered look]
Hey, isn't that perfectly good food?
no subject
[OM NOM MEAT]
no subject
[reaches over the table to steal his hamburger buns]
no subject
But anyway, she can have them. He doesn't want them.]
Why? They're soft and get soggy so quickly, they're gross.
no subject
[OKAY CATRA]
no subject
[Lalli has very particular tastes.]
no subject
[Catra will eat it because it's MEAT-FLAVORED but she also grew up on mostly tasteless military rations so food is a whole new experience for her]
no subject
Bread should be hard on the outside and soft on the inside. Crackers are even better.
no subject
I don't care what it "should" be as long as it tastes good.
no subject
[He's going to grumpily munch on his food. He has FEELINGS about food textures, ok???]
no subject
[time to finish eating her burger in silence, tho]
no subject
...what now?
week 3, Monday
In fact, when he sees her, he nods. Hey Catra, what's up?]
no subject
[when she spots him, she stands up a little straighter, tail flicking behind her. also please note she's barefoot so she walked here like that in the snow]
Winter, am I right? Snow.
no subject
CATRA YOUR BARE FEET]
Snow is easier to deal with in boots.
[Hint hint]
no subject
Yeah. I know. Why do you think I'm here?
[getting here was mISERABLE]
no subject
[He's not even trying to be mean. He just is sometimes.]
no subject
no subject
Over he goes, right onto the ground.]
no subject
[but]
[a memory interrupts the moment]
