[outrageon]

Ah, no—

[She does stop, though, squinting.]

Wait, that shade's super cute and you're totally letting me borrow that later.

But—

[Ugh.]

No, that's... not what it's about.

[youbeautifulidiot]

[Veneer clutches his chest affectionately.]

Well, we can talk about anything now, because I've heard exactly what I wanted to today~

[outrageon]

[. . .That gives Vel just the tiniest little smile. Which is pretty tiny considering how flexible rageon mouths are. Still, there's something she... is actually pretty sure Veneer wants to hear more.]

...Val's gone.

[May as well just come out and say it. Ah, her loops are starting to dissolve in the milk...]

[youbeautifulidiot]

["Val's gone?" Well that's...ominous. Either his paperwork got sorted out or his sister has somehow figured out how to perform a super murder.]

Do you...wanna elaborate on that one? Because I need to know what feelings I should be having right now.

1/2

[outrageon]

[outrageon]

You think I killed him, don't you!

[youbeautifulidiot]

In like a cool revenge way! Not, like, a "kidnapped and tortured" sort of way!! I promise, it was a best case scenario murder!! Really!!

[outrageon]

Well it wasn't either, thank you very much.

[She sighs, letting her spoon clatter in the bowl.

This next part is the part she doesn't want to think about most. Because... If it could happen to Val...]

I guess— those little cherub whatevers really did get him sent back.

[youbeautifulidiot]

[Ah, alright. The feeling he should be feeling is jubilation.]

Veeeelllveeet~!! That's great news!! Oh my god!! We should totally go out and celebrate.

..by finding his old room and absolutely trashing it. I bet Greed would bust a door down for us if we ask nicely.

cw: mentions of another character's domestic violence/assault in brackets

[outrageon]

[Velvet wants to be mad. She wants to hiss— no, this isn't good! My talent is gone! My contract is gone!

But she's so tired. She's so tired and has been confronted with something that she has never, ever, truly encountered before. She sees Veneer celebrate, and what she sees in her head instead is Angel trembling, weeping. The fur on her shoulder is still a bit mussed from Angel's tears.

That, too, had been a celebration.]

Yeah... yeah.

We'll check that out later, little bro.
