[ She. Hates. Cold. It was ironic, considering that Oregon isn't exactly the warmest state, but she always dreamed of living in California - southern California, where there were no seasons and, most importantly, there was no. Fucking. Snow.
Grumpy as she was, it was never fun to be bitchy alone; so when she spots Prompto, one of the few familiar faces on this stupid trip, she's going to plop right down next to him, possibly closer than necessary, and pulling her beanie down a little more tightly on her head. ]
I'm filing a complaint, this is ridiculous. { A COMPLAINT WITH WHO, she does not know, but she'll make one, dammit. ]
[Prompto's shivering right alongside of her. He hates the cold, too, though that comes with the painful memories associated with the cold and snow. At least he's not alone this time.
He manages a smile when Chloe plops down next to him.]
I'll give you a silver if you do. Don't think it'll get anywhere, though. I'm surprised you tagged along.
Careful with the joking, I'll do anything for money. [ It was... a sadly true statement, actually. She blew hot air against the mittens on her hands, hoping it would get trapped inside the wool, but mostly just making her mittens smell like her breath.
Dammit. There's a huff. ] Got dragged is a more accurate statement. I'm not usually the helping people out by choice type.
Oh reeeeeeeally? [That's dangerous information to give him, Chloe. Very dangerous.]
They ordered you to come, huh? That's a bummer. But hey, they said there might be more rifters here. It's a lot easier coming here when you find out you're stuck with other fellow weirdos and misfits. [He'd also say she can pay forward the help she got when she arrived, but she hardly strikes him as the type for that...]
Poor Kid Syndrome, or... Whatever. [ You can never have enough!!! Luckily she had a feeling whatever he could come up with, she'd probably done way worse for quick cash. ]
Mm. I'm sure I'll be a bastion of comfort to them, with my warm and welcoming personality. [ She tugs on her scarf, frowning a bit. ] I'm just here to fix crap if it breaks. I think I'd rather be stuck in that stupid library.
Oof. Yeah, I can understand that. Don't worry, my dares don't usually involve risk of harm or mutilation. Except to your pride.
I'll try to be sunny enough for the both of us. [He takes note of her scarf; it's clearly handmade, like his own. ...which, okay, every scar around here is hand made as mass production's not really a thing in Thedas.] The scarf's cute. Where'd you get it?
[ She snorts in response to both comments - not surprised that his dares were harmless at best or having any doubt that he could be cheerful enough for ten people, let alone two.
But any sassy remarks surrounding it are forgotten at the mention of the scarf, a small smile on her face as she thumbs the wool. That's an average reaction to being told your accessories are cute, right? Sure. ] Uh - this girl Fern made it for me. She was worried I'd be cold.
[That tells him all he needs to know. Prompto's a photographer, and he observes and takes in details. And he's very much observing someone who's got a crush, if not more.]
Oooh~ You got a girl worried about you, too, huh? [He grins widely.]
[ She feels her cheeks burn a little, dropping her hold on the scarf and huffing just slightly because she doesn't have a crush, really. Shut up, Prompto!!! ]
She's -- yeah, I guess. She's a good friend. [ F R I E N D ] And what do you mean too? { She is unaware of this girlfriend you have Prompto, spill. ]
"Friend", huh? Iiiii get it, don't you worry. [Wink wink nudge nudge] As for me, well, my girlfriend made me this. [He tugs at his scarf for emphasis.]She was worried how cold it gets down here. That and she's a knitting fiend.
[ Excuse her while she punches his arm. ] Don't give me that tone, jerk. [ She'll just latch on to the idea of his scarf being more important than hers. ] That was cute of her though. Girlfriends are good for that kind of thing. Uh - not that I would know, I guess. Rachel wasn't really the knitting kind of girl.
[...dang she's got a good punch. Ow. But it just further reinforces his belief.]
I mean, she's pretty cute in general, but yeah. She kinda knits for like everyone she knows, but she made this one just for me. [He's got a stupid little happy smile and everything.]
Who asked you. [ Grumble grumble, this is the voice of someone who is totally not a child.
She leans in to look at the scarf a little closer though and it's... probably better knit than Fern's, but hey, the girl tried, and that's what matters most. ] How sentimental. [ It's not said as sarcastically as it could have been and the smile on her face shows she's only teasing for fun. ]
[He'll have to remember to follow up on this little crush of hers later. For now, though, he lets it mostly drop.]
And practical. Though, she knit... a lot of them. Seriously, I think I have more scarves than socks. But I can't turn her down whenever she gives me another one.
