[ And she's curious to see what kind of people has Ava surrounded herself with. Jon feels like an outlier (sorry Jon), but others? Others might be interesting. ]
We've had enough awkwardness already, right? And I don't remember the last time someone actually tried to at least pretend it wasn't only about the sex. Which is not, mind you. I think it might be a good time to talk and compare notes.
[ Anya considers the question for a moment. ]
I don't know. You've been here for longer, where would you like to take me? Or where haven't you been yet?
Yeah, I guess so. That's a good point. It'll be fine.
[ She guesses they're friends? It's weird. There's nothing to call Anya, even if she isn't sure she's a friend...but it feels wrong to say she isn't a friend. It's just complicated. Ava likes her well enough, and doing this doesn't feel expressly awkward. Just different.
Like knowing someone too much and then asking to take them to dinner. ]
I mean, I wasn't really able to eat normal food until about a month ago. I'm still getting used to that again. But we should find somewhere to eat that'll be...better for us.
There's a dive bar in the Up we can go to. I've snacked once there. The people there are smart, usually healthy.
So you can? That's pretty cool. Is it a Duplicity thing? Actually, I guess I forgot to tell you, but I had some mages do some work on me. Basically I can eat and drink, but it doesn't really do anything for me. No nourishment, no nothing. Actually it sort of dissolves the moment I swallow, but at least I can still taste them.
[ It's not the same, but it's something. ]
I mean, getting actual blood is always preferred, specially if I know I won't freak out my date for the night.
No. I...got this thing, from doing a few tests. It's a necklace. If I feed it blood, I can get a few hours in the sun or I can eat a little bit. But it's not enough, you know? I still need to feed on people. It's nice, sometimes, though to just...share a meal with someone. To feel normal.
[ It's...something. That's all she can say. ]
I know that some people at those clubs are into it. One of the guys I fed on there wanted me to do it again and he said I wasn't the first, so. He knew. Even if I was tempted to mindwipe him.
[ Truth is, Anya is pretty sure that if she were to feel that and then lose it again, she would probably end up feeling even worse. ]
Sounds like an alright place then. Can't really say much about the people... but I guess it's just what one would expect of this place. Okay then, meet you there?

Yeah, totally. We can meet there. I'll see you soon.
