Odds of this being pleasant for them are slim.

Characters: Larry Vincent and Gavril Madaraki
Date: 2/14
Summary: Event thread!
Warnings: It's Gavril, so foul language is likely. Very foul language.

Waking up on Valentine's Day, Larry had intended to be on the lookout for anything out of the ordinary. A romantic holiday, and a Queen who loves to encourage romance - of course something would happen. If they were lucky it would be mundane, but how often were they lucky?

Unfortunately, the something that happened couldn't be looked out for, or if it could, then she'd failed, because she found herself drawn to... something. Some direction. As she made her way across the gardens, bleary-eyed and hastily dressed, Larry figured that it was almost certainly someone that she was being drawn to.

Comments

Even so

"Yeah, well... this girl... she left, then came back, then left again, so she it might keep happening." Only now that Santana was in a relationship back home, it probably wouldn't work out here.

They arrived at her gun shop/house after a short walk, and Larry opened the door for Gavril. "I think I should just try doing something else with my time here."

Gavril walked inside without saying anything. Inside, she took a seat and sighed lightly. "Relationship shit gets pretty fucking depressing, doesn't it?"

[gun_cata]

Larry nodded, heading over to her coffee maker and working on getting a nice full pot brewing. "I think I was happier before I cared most of the time. I had my job, my hobbies, and my friends to focus on, and that was good enough."

"That's why I stayed out of all of that kinda stuff till I met Zinc. The second you care that much about someone else it usually only lets you down in the end."

[gun_cata]

"But only usually... and when it works out, it feels like everything was worth it." She still wasn't sure if it really was worth it when it went well; maybe she could go be a hermit in the woods and just not even risk romance any more. But damn, when she and Santana were actually together it was like some kind of high.

Larry sat down in a chair, letting the machine do its work.

"Can't say I know that feeling, so I'll take your word for it." Gavril had always lived for the thrill of all things visceral and primal, so if being in a relationship could produce such a feeling she imagined it would be something she wanted to experience at least once. "But eh, I'm sure you can find something to do to occupy your free time."

Larry shrugged, leaning back a little. "I've got my guns, but I wish I knew enough about cars to put one together. Other than that, I'm not sure what I can really do here. Build?"
