Well, that's hardly a detour at all.

[ He smiles as he joins her at the railing, following her gaze to the horizon. It really is the furthest outside of the porter cities he’s been since arriving. He isn’t one for adventure, and she knows that, but a short trip like this is right up his alley. ]

Why haven’t you, then? It's still home, isn't it?

After. While after.

( Sarissa's crouching down beside a dumpster, looking at the brick wall, and some paint chips on it, frowning as she makes notes. ) I asked her which whale emoji she liked better, we went out for lunch. I'd say Jess walked in there determined to break up with me and not talk about it, but I think she started dating me determined to break up with me and not talk about it.

( She is trying to make light of t, while still being salty. She's not sure that's the healthiest way to deal, but Jess isn't a villain, she ain't either. They're just humans. )

Oh, nice. That'll help us pull an all-nighter. ( Dry and typically Sarissaly off-hand. She's still collecting the paint chips carefully, then frowns, and moves to the victim, carefully leaning it to inspect his hand. ) Paint on the wall might be a match for the stuff under his nails. Colour looks close.

( And, back on topic, or back off-topic depending how you look at it: ) I know she cares, and I know she's complicated. And I told her I was okay with complicated and helping her figure shit out, but I'm not gonna beg someone to keep dating me if they want to bolt every five minutes. Seems shitty for both of us.

( Clara says "snort," and Sarissa has to make an effort not to snort in a more comical sense. )

Oh, with blood? Nah, save it for a special occasion, then.

( And, looking at the glasses, ) You need big dangly earrings to go with that. It's just like your undercommitting to the eighties, otherwise.

( She doesn't immediately seem like she's gonna reply to the other point, but: ) Jess ain't bad. And what we have— had, that wasn't bad either. It was good, I just— I'm trying to be healthier. And that didn't seem like it'd be healthy, if it kept up. You know?

Fair point.

[ He shrugs in agreement, but his life was always so quiet in London. He has no family waiting for him back home, few friends, he can’t really know how that feels. ]

I think I’d still like to take a trip over. Just once. It might be worth it to see if the food tastes any different.

I wouldn't say that too loudly. Rumour mill being what it is with ImPorts, suddenly it'll be that you wiped Cosima's memory of something and you also were dating someone else, and how do you deny rumours of tampering with someone's memory?

( A beat; maybe that's a problem for Sarissa more than Clara, actually, powers considered. )

That actually happen, or are you bein' dramatic and British? One cannot be one-upped, wot wot. And I'm not gonna forgive you for not praisin' Kylie, you savage.

Shit.

( Tabloids forgotten, tbh. Sarissa just pauses for a moment, weighing that up, pausing in her note taking. )

You remember, I take it?

Better to remember than forget. Forgetting just carves away pieces of who you became.

( Sarissa pushes herself up to stand, and offers a hand to Clara. ) Not a bad bar that you've set, mind. My healthiest—

( Huh. ) "Healthy before it went to shit" probably ain't healthy, but I'm still figuring out why stuff went to shit, so I'll keep you posted.

[Okay, Ruby usually just avoids people when she goes out for one of her runs in this form, both for her own safety and to avoid scaring the pants off of anybody. It's not like it's particularly hard to do so with her acute hearing and smell, but, strangely enough, there's something familiar that she can't quite place about one of the scents she's picked up tonight, and given the hour and just how deep she is in the forest right now, curiosity and concern have pushed her to attempt to investigate.

From a distance for now, sure, but that might almost make it worse when Clara realizes there is something very large now slowly stalking her through the woods, stealthy enough that anyone without her enhanced senses wouldn't notice it was there at all.]

[The sound pauses at her question.

Crap, she did NOT mean to be noticed there. But more importantly... is that Clara? Any other day Ruby would just change back to her human form and walk right up, but during the full moon?? Without her cloak, which is hidden in the crook of a tree a few miles back toward Granny's, the magic of wolfstime has her stuck in this shape until morning.

So that's helpful.

After briefly considering the other option (leaving and crossing her paws that Clara isn't as lost as she suspects), Ruby slowly begins to approach again, trying to figure out how to communicate at all right now. The best she can think of for now is to keep a low, non-aggressive posture and make a quiet whining sound she hopes will help balance out her enormous size on the intimidation scale.]
