Bathroom Event: Odile + Siffrin
"Siffrin."
"Ah!" A beat. "Madame Odile!"
"… My apologies, I didn't mean to startle you." M'dame Odile hums.
Sif rushes through his assurances to her, "It's fine, don't worry. I just! Thought you left already."
"Right."
… Neither of them say anything for a long time.
"Are you… alright, Siffrin?" Odile asks, tentative, "I know I am not exactly the feelings guru here, but it's been a long day for all of us. A long... however many days, really. I suppose I just wanted to check in."
"I'm fine!"
"Mhm?"
You can hear the heel of Sif's shoe tap nervously against the ground, "Well, um. What about you? Are you okay?"
"Hm. I'm as alright as I can be when we're walking towards what may well be our deaths."
"It won't be." They tell her firmly.
"Hah! How confident."
"We'll win. We have to."
"It'd be nice if it was that easy. Like I said earlier: keep that spirit for everyone else. I don't need the reassurance. I'm content with the life I've lived, Siffrin."
They don't seem satisfied with that answer. It takes a long moment before he says anything at all to her.
You understand.
Nothing will happen to any of them! As long as you're here.
"… I want to make sure Bonnie gets home to their sister."
"Well. That's something to hold onto then, hm?" She pauses, "I'd like to see to it that Boniface makes it home safe, too."
"So. We have to win." He tells her.
"Right. And you're sure you're doing okay?"
"I am."
"Alright."
You hear the door to the bathroom swing open.
"And Siffrin?"
"Um! Yes?"
"… Don't die today. I'd like for us both to make it out of this mess."
"Only if you don't either." There's a smile in their voice.
M'dame Odile sighs, long and dramatic, "Fine. If you insist."
"Promise!" He shouts after her.
"Gems alive, Siffrin. Really?"
"I was pretty clear."
"Urgh."
"Crystal clear."
"URGH."
You hold a hand over your mouth to choke down a laugh. HAH. Crystal clear. Not quite a pun! But a solid riff.
"You're certainly not getting a promise now, Siffrin."
"Madame Odile!"
The sound of his heel on stone again. "... Please?"
"… Fine. I promise."
"Do you super promise?"
...
"Goodbye, Siffrin. Have fun in the bathroom."
You hear the door start to close and footsteps chasing after it. Soon followed by the soft thud of a body against it. It's not long before the door shuts properly and you're left alone.
You sit there in silence.
…
You leave the bathroom.

The real scary part of Halloween season isn't the tricks OR the treats. It's me buying a value size bag of brach's mellowcreme pumpkins and consuming the entire thing in less than 24 hours without even realizing until it's too late.

Happy Birthday, Sylvie!
Hey, what do you think about making a pastry from these Henna berries? ... don't look at me like that, I know they're mostly used for dyes, but I'm surprised no one has given a try in making something edible with them. Poisonous they are not, otherwise I think there'd be some little issues in using it to colour things!
So ... what do you think? Wanna give it a shot with me and see if we can make something yummy out of them? Juice? Pastries? Maybe even just eating them raw as they are?
... if you're worried, I can taste test it first and let you know if it's safe enough to eat.
