[Maybe it's intentional that she moves forward so soon after speaking, not leaving the gap for him to think more of what she was like as a girl. Seeing that the wound looks clean, at least her curiosity seems fed now. She gives him a sweeping gesture of greeting, fingers pinching out her pencil skirt as far as it will go.]
My name is Cantarella. I imagine you knew that already, at least in passing. [They both have access to the graveyard.] I don't often get to introduce myself face-to-face
And... I'm partial to cherries. [As if looking for the flavor on her lip, the tip of her tongue touches it.] They do not lose all their flavor when soaked in liquid and are both sweet and bitter.
[ in response to her gesture, he'll instinctively respond in kind with a little bow. he does take time to put the face to the name properly, at least. ]
Is that because of your preferences or due to some other outstanding reason?
[ though lavi is not god's strongest soldier and, for a moment, he can imagine exactly the borderline nsfw content of her and a cherry. the more logical side of his brain chiding the opposing side. this is how he gets himself into trouble.
"there are two wolves inside of me" - lavi in this entire thread. ]
Cherries are pretty great at doing that; that's probably why they're in so many things. You know, oranges also manage to hang onto their taste whatever you use them in.
I DON'T KNOW?? CLOSER TO HER HEIGHT?? NOT A LANKY BIG BOY
[Lavi's seen her character trailer, we see. HE'S FALLEN FOR THE BAIT--
He can catch the little flicker of her eyebrows in response to his endorsement of oranges as flavor sponges. So that's what he likes? the interested movement of her brow seems to ask and commit to memory.]
I've been traveling for a while, so it came to be that people in my home country don't recognize me. To my chagrin, I found that rumors of my reclusiveness have already spread.
[Her fingers rest, feather-light, on her cheek, at this troubling information. Well... In a way, that's still a reputation for being shy, isn't it, even if it isn't true?]
[ LAVI IS A HEALTHY GROWING BOY. what more can you want from him... but he'll get over himself quick enough and be interested in these travels. ]
Of all rumors that could be spread, being a recluse isn't the worse of them.
[ unless there was more to it than simply that. ]
What kind of travels have you been on? The epic journey of self-realization?
[ his last question is somewhat of a joke. look, as much as he could judge her for her looks, it doesn't that he will. a woman like her could probably get away with a lot while doing very little. in as many ways as that could be taken. ]
allen's not like 5'2??? why did i think everyone in dgm was so short.......
[So...it's the principle of the thing, he must see. She sounds very blase about rumors and her reputation, speaking about them like she's glossing a very smooth surface.]
No, I believe I accepted who I am quite a long time ago. I needed help and sought it from others.
[Her smile creeps, deep and resonant, up her face.] So you see, I do know how to ask. Perhaps better than you.
[ why does he feel like he needs to be careful with how he approaches his answers in the very, very near future if he wishes to come out of this in one piece (lmao). ]
T, that's great to hear. There's nothing better than a woman that's confident in who she is.
[ as for the not-so-obvious jab: ]
What if I said that's because of the lifestyle that I've lived? I was taught to be very independent, you know!

me checking profiles to see if he'll be getting the boobs overhead treatment: HE'S 6'1"????????
