[ … whew! Considering she's in defense mode and not attack mode, Elysium's own instincts will tell him to throw his hands up, palms faced out. He's a little too tired to be getting into any scuffles any time soon, not that he's the sort to… so if she did decide to throw a punch or two? He probably would just take it tbh.

Nonetheless: ]

Woah, woah, woah. [ His inflection is tired, smile wry. ] I'm just a guy minding my own business. But if you needed some kind of help, I might be able to offer it to you…?

[axethrows]

You say that now, but you could also be some guy who is eager to take advantage of a girl who lost her sight. [A pause.] Or you could be the rare legit guy, but listen, no sight is a scary thing. You can't blame me too hard!

[Still, what a way to first meet someone... Elysium could probably tell that one of her eyes are glitching like a tv, trying it's best to hang on and fix itself.]

If you don't mind, you can stick around a little bit until I get my better eye working again. It's been improving, but it's still going on and off. It's annoying!

[ What she says makes sense, and he's not about to question or doubt when her visual perception started going askew. The residents of Las Vegas themselves always have been on the more aggressive side—so, if anything, it is less concerning that she seems to have a good handle on herself despite that. Not that he's all too willing to leave her alone at the moment, upon learning about the blindness tidbit. ]

Rather than stick around… if you tell me the name of your hotel, I could just escort you back to your room. Whatever you need out here can't possibly be worth getting yourself into trouble.

[ …

Thoughtfully: ] I can keep to crowded areas. Give you some assurance that I'm not leading you somewhere sketchy. How does that sond?

[axethrows]

I guess... Even when resting, it still gets boring in the room after a while. I thought my eyes would be a bit better today.

[The suffering persists, but she still tries to have a little joy as a treat to endure the burdens on her.]

I'm staying at- [insert vegas hotel name here because I never picked one oops] -and it shouldn't be too far off. Though I wouldn't complain if we make a stop for a snack or two~

[Listen, any time is a good time for a snack...]

[transmit]

That doesn't sound like a suggestion, miss.

[ So he says. Still, it elicits an amused chuckle all the same—hardly a negative response. ]

But I can't say I can't understand. [ He's been out and about for similar reasons, and he's kind of hoping that by sleeping less, he can blow over as much of the dream and memory sharing nonsense as possible… He's Tired, man ] It's been a rough past week, hasn't it? Breaths of fresh air, walks. Vices in the form of favourite foods. [ a smile, this time. ] They all help.

Is there anything you're feeling in particular, then?

[axethrows]

Yeah, you get it! [She's tired too with everything going on and she got relationship issues happening to boot... Staying still for too long is only going to make her insane so she had to get out of there for a break.

The better eye does light back up and she sighs in relief as she finally got a face to go with the voice talking to her. She pulls up a smile despite her problems.]

Something filling will be good... What's your favorite food? I can eat almost everything plus it's a good way to get to know folks through their food preferences.

[She does a quick look around to see what's nearby.]

At least let me make it up to you for the rough first meeting.

[transmit]

[ not the relationship issues…… cue me personally throwing my hands onto yuwon's shoulders to shake him back and forth wildly. ugh.

Elysium has yet to make the connection and it remains to be seen whether he'll ever make the connection like he's somehow miraculously managed with Wriothesley and Ishmael, but perhaps he will one of these days—if only because Yuwon deserves to be put through high hell. For now, there isn't much to do but take her words at face value and nod along with a quiet laugh, thinking nothing in particular of her behaviour even if it's as off as she says it is. ]

You call that a rough first meeting?

[ pfffft. This might speak to how both their usual initial encounters go, but it's by far not close to Elysium's worst. ]

Man, I wish more of mine ended before any violence happened, you're fine. Anyway, I won't be much help by saying that I don't have any strong preferences either, but if you're the same—how about we go to a close by spot to make it easier for you? Burgers? There's a place that's pretty highly rated just down the street.
