felix barely makes a dent in his croissant before he gives up, binning it in the nearest trash. ephemera orders his food, and felix steps between him and the cart to pay – and to distract the vendor with a velvet smile, sliding him a few crumpled bills as he sets to work on ephemera's food.
one last stop at another food cart, to wordlessly purchase ephemera a small square of fudge wrapped in wax paper, then felix leads the way through the end of the market. the noise dies off, fewer people milling around aimlessly. they're mostly alone, and felix almost prefers the crowd. higher risk, maybe, but he can field risk easier than he can field the quiet. makes everything so much louder everywhere else.
he stands on the edge of the street as ephemera settles against a wall with his food. )
Can you imagine living here? ( he squints up at the sun through his glasses. talking to talk. with ortez, it was partially to annoy him, partially to ground him. with ephemera, it's more of the latter. ) Muggy as shit. God, I'd expire immediately.
