[She manages to keep walking, probably mostly due to the fact that her arm is linked with his and she has to keep the momentum going or risk being left behind. God, he's tall. Was he this tall before, when they were sitting? She's pretty sure he was not. What the fuck.
-- Ah. But that wasn't what thing she currently wanted to "what the fuck" about. Refund...? But why? She's been falling over herself and reading into things too deeply. He's the one putting up with her dumb requests, just trying to make the best of a shit situation. It wasn't like any of this was his fault. He should get paid! Keep the money on the tab! To do that -- ]
...If I -- [OH.] Oh.
[Oh??? Ohhh my god. When will the gateway to Hell open up beneath her and swallow her whole? Or, like, chomp down when she's mid-fall and bifurcate her. That's the word she wants, right? Bifurcate? Let's think about how to spell that so maybe her blood will remember to stop being on fire.
It doesn't work. She feels dizzy. There's no point to stopping again, because the more they stop, the longer it takes them to get to the park, where they'll finally eat. ...Ryder doesn't know if she can eat, with how she's vaguely sick, now. But you have to take 'em out to dinner first, it's the law. The law leading to Teo doing his job and being properly rewarded for it, just uhh also the law leading to other stuff.
Okay, no. Think about the road less(?) traveled, Ry. That actually does make sense as a name, seeing as path is labeled "CONVERSATION", which is weird because: 1. people don't talk to her. 2. people would rather use their mouths for things other than talking. Sometimes, if things were nice, there would be talking after, but the impression that she's gotten from Heterosexual Media is that guys kind of aren't fans of that, and honestly she had never expected to be in a position to find out for herself, so she didn't bother looking deeper into it. After all, refer back to the first point!
Ugh... Ryder feels exhausted as she wonders if more time has passed than it seems or less, while she figures out which story branch she's selecting today. She doesn't even remember what the point of all that thinking was. It wasn't like she could answer the questions springing up like horrified rabbits without... Something about Teo with a hunting rifle. With a scope. God, she needs to either shut off her brain completely or get someplace they can sit.]
