guild work;

[fatalstriker]

[when the job had very specific requirements—to bring the dog to a home in zaphias' royal quarter while donning a maid's dress...

well, karol had immediately refused, and raven did well to help him come up with an excuse. and that had left judith and yuri to stand over the attire, surrounded by dahngrest's hustle and bustle of a nightly tavern gathering.

they really do get stuck with the shitty jobs, don't they?]

I don't think I have the legs to pull off this getup. [what a yuri way of saying "i don't wanna."]

[brbwalking]

[ Judith's only response is a soft, nonsensical hum. Which could be left as it is, with the way one eyebrow is raised, but no, she'll helpfully tack on a little more to help encourage her guildmate. ]

I wouldn't say that. You've definitely gained more definition in your calves and your hips are to die for.

[ She says so... lightly... ]

[fatalstriker]

[this is not the encouragement he was looking for.]

I'm starting to think you're just trying to get me arrested. You know what Tweedle A and Tweedle B will do if I go rolling into the Royal Quarter dressed like that?

[brbwalking]

If we put the headdress in your hair and you talk in falsetto, probably flirt with you. Or get flustered, at the very least.

[ She likes this plan. This is a great plan. ]

[fatalstriker]

[no, judy. this is the worst plan.]

Next you'll be telling me I should give them each a kiss, too.

[brbwalking]

Oh, no. That might make me jealous.

[ ... ]

I can't say I've ever kissed a pretty maid before.

[fatalstriker]

[judy, why.]

And you think I'd be the pretty maid to make you jealous.

[brbwalking]

Maybe.

[ When does one ever get a direct answer from Judith, anyway? ]

All the same, Yuri, you're the only one of us [ Raven and Rita aside ] who didn't have to potentially seduce a guard. I'd say you're up.

[fatalstriker]

[never, but at least he expects it.]

That's some weak leverage, you know. As much as some people try to act like it, I make a pretty crappy woman.

[brbwalking]

Oh? You've tried before?

[fatalstriker]

You do what you gotta do to eat.

[yuri, what does that even mean. is he even being serious right now? there's really no telling.]

Ain't my style at all.

[brbwalking]

I see. And it's mine?

[ Yuri's legs are just as nice, she'll maintain. ]

[fatalstriker]

You've seen yourself in a mirror, right?

[he's not going to deny that she's hot, okay.]

[brbwalking]

Never in a maid outfit.

[ but thanks for the compliment, Yuri. ]

[fatalstriker]

Maybe now's the time to get a good look at that, then.

[brbwalking]

You're just saying that because you don't want to spend most of the trip being flirted with.

[fatalstriker]

Considering it's you and me on this trip...

Just how much flirting do you have up your sleeve, Judy?

[brbwalking]

If I told you the answer, it would take all of the fun out of guessing, wouldn't it?

[ She doesn't have much sleeve. ]

[fatalstriker]

I guess that rules out asking how much you want to keep me on my toes too, huh.

[she could have slightly more sleeve if she wears the maid costume?]

[brbwalking]

Oh, I think you already know the answer to that one.

[ Nice try, Yuri. ]

We're losing travel time arguing this, though.

[fatalstriker]

There really shouldn't be an argument about it at all.

[he does not want to wear the maid costume, okay.]

[brbwalking]

And yet here we are, because someone doesn't want to sacrifice his dignity a little.

[fatalstriker]

It's not about my dignity.

[mostly.]

[brbwalking]

Well. If I wear it, you'll have to find a way to make it worth my while.

[fatalstriker]

That sounds like a challenge I may have a shot at.
