Trying to work things out
Theo: *comes to Nuala's store*
Nuala: *drawing a design for a dress, she tenses visibly when Theo enters* Your cat's not here.
Theo: ...I came to ask if I could see the letter. *staying by the door, genuinely wary of her after the stories he grew up with*
Nuala: What?
Theo: that letter you had. That you accused me of writing.
Nuala: *doesn't like his tone but whatever. She doesn't have it on her person but she gets up and goes to her desk and pulls it out of the drawer, setting it on the counter in front of her. He'll have to come get it if he wants to see it.*
Theo: *comes closer, slowly and on his guard and picks it up to read*
Theo: *eyes slowly widen*
Nuala: *turns red even remembering what is written there*
Theo: *scarlet* I did NOT write this. I can't even SAY this
Nuala: Then why has it got your name on it?
Theo: anyone can write my name. And I don't have 'fur', I have 'hair'. *not sure if dunlendings call it fur, all of a sudden* Do you call it fur?
Nuala: *snorts* No. Do you?
Theo: no, that's my point.
Nuala: Well, if it wasn't you who wrote it then who did? And why?
Theo: *puts the letter down and wipes his hands without thinking because of its contents* well, it wasn't me. And I don't know why anyone would want to frame me for that. Everyone who dislikes me would just punch me if they wanted at me
Nuala: I'm sure they would.
Theo: anyway, this wasn't me.
Nuala: *sighs through her nose* I can only assume you're telling the truth. Your face is red as a tomato.
Theo: urgh. Thanks, I think. I just want to stay away from you. Not send you horrible things
Nuala: Safe to say that's what we both want.
Theo: *firm nod* good
Nuala: And while you're here, let's get one thing straight. I'm not going to eat your cat. I have no interest in eating your cat. Frankly, I'd be very happy if he didn't darken my doorstep for a while.
Theo: hey, don't insult my cat. He's a great cat *evil eye*
Nuala: *rolls her eyes* Exactly what part of what I just said was insulting to your cat?
Theo: ...it just was!
Nuala: *unimpressed!*
Theo: anyone should be glad to see him. *crosses his arms and knows deep down that's the total opposite of everyone's reaction to Dagnir*
Nuala: Yes, and I've always been nice to him, and fed him whenever he's come to my house, but he gets me in trouble and I don't want that. I just want to live in peace.
Theo: well, I *tell* him to leave you alone
Nuala: It seems he doesn't acknowledge your authority.
Theo: well, he's a cat. There's only so much I can do
Nuala: Of course.
Theo: speaking of animals... *stands up straight and hand on his sword, going into guard mode* You need to keep your ravens in line. *not threatening her, but protective flash about Dred*
Nuala: I've spoken with them already, told them they'd be put in cages if they weren't good. They promised me they would behave.
Theo: very good. *small nod and turns to go*
Nuala: Yes. *gets back to her sketches* Don't forget, you have to buy something the next time you come in here.
Theo: what?
Nuala: Well I can't have people just come in and look around all the time. I still have to make a living. *is actually joking*
Theo: *doesn't realize and looks around quickly, and grabs a pair of gloves* I'll buy these, then.
Nuala: *blinks in surprise* You might out to check that they fit, first.
Theo: they look like they will... *tugs them on*
Nuala: Do you need gloves? You oughtn't buy something you haven't any call for.
Theo: I could use them on night patrol... *flexes his fingers*
Nuala: You don't actually have to buy them, is what I was trying to say. I wouldn't actually force anyone to buy from me.
Theo: oh
Nuala: *raises her eyebrows at him* You're a bit gullible, aren't you?
Theo: *drops the gloves back on the table and looks like he's biting back 'not a liar like a Dunlending*
Nuala: Have a nice day, sir.
Theo: *walks out*
Nuala: *shakes her head and goes back to drawing*
