[Frederic found Paprika's room and knocked lightly on the door as not to bother her too much.]

Paprika? Is it all right for me to come in?

[byakkoyagirl]

Huh? [She looks at Frederic and then looks back to the cards.] Yeah, sure. Let yourself in.

[refinedmaestro]

[He bows politely and comes in to sit next to her.] Thank you Paprika, how are you holding up?

[byakkoyagirl]

Eh, can't complain. Got my cards, got my scotch. I think I'm set until we're forced out.

[refinedmaestro]

I could use a drink myself, I'm rather parched and a little hungry.

[byakkoyagirl]

If you want some food, you can order it from the intercom. As for drinks...[She raises a bottle of scotch lazily.] Want some?

[refinedmaestro]

[He kind of is taken back a bit by the offering, but at the same time Paprika is his friend.] I-I have a very low tolerance for heavy alcohol, Paprika. I'm sorry, but I will have to decline the offer.

[byakkoyagirl]

Really? Hm, alright, more for me! You can get some water for yourself through the intercom as well though. [She takes a swig of the scotch with a satisfied 'ah' sound coming out after she's done.] Nothing like drinking in the early morning.

[refinedmaestro]

I'm very sorry, I hope I did not come off as rude. [He turns away with a slight frown on his face.]

[byakkoyagirl]

No, you don't come off rude at all. I understand. I really shouldn't be drinking myself, but it calms my nerves here more than it does in dreams.

[refinedmaestro]

Would you like to have some tea with me? I was thinking of asking for that.

[byakkoyagirl]

Tea? ...Okay sure. [She says, putting down the empty glass.] Order anything, I have no preference.

[refinedmaestro]

[He goes to the intercom and asks politely for a tea set on a small tray, then it appears on the bed.] Well that certainly came out of nowhere.

[byakkoyagirl]

Those shift things they do are really bizarre. Why can't they always treat us to a hotel suite? I guess we have to kill people for them before they give us any perks.

[refinedmaestro]

So it would seem, they want us fighting to earn our rewards.

[byakkoyagirl]

Yeah, but no rewards this time. Kind of wish they just get rid of the entire war thing all together without getting us involved like this.
