Today was a success. Today, there was nobody stumbling into the clinic, bleeding themselves to death, nor was there anyone who carried in some bizarre contraption for Larsa to fix that he'd managed to break even more. Bring in a rusted sword, he could make it good as new after a little incantation, and even if it wasn't, it would be (after figuring out which cauldron to use, anyhow). It was when people brought in the more complicated machinery, ones where Larsa had not an iota of a clue how they operated, that he had a bit more trouble with.
To be honest though, he kind of wishes he had blown something up. That would have been more entertaining than sitting around.
He presses the heel of his palm into an eye. If he'd known that today was going to land a zero profit, he would have spent the day searching for Alya. He hadn't heard from her in a week now, which to most, was fairly reasonable. But even at seventeen, the boy could be surprisingly needy at times.
And because he's bored to tears, he decides the logical thing to do is idly kick one of his many cauldrons and bruise his toe.
"Holy shit, holy shit."

I feel blood, though I feel it in my veins, it's not enough. | today is a calm day. it is overcast and everything is covered in a clean and faint light, a soothing light. something about the lounging clouds make the day seem suitable for lounging. once, every day in irkalla had seemed busy and rushed, but having spend a long enough time here to grow accustomed, shakti senses irkalla seems hushed; as much as it can be.
this is not a day to fight on, even the the beasts are laying with heavy-lidded eyes in their caves. but shakti needs to do something, needs to occupy herself so that time will never feel wasted.
she tells herself it isn't a waste, pausing outside larsa's workshop with a hand out to knock when she hears the commotion. shakti cocks her head, reconsiders knocking, and pushes open the door instead, her hair streaming down as she sticks her head inside to a calmer scene than she'd expected.
"you're not busy, are you?" she says with a sheepish smile, drumming her fingertips against the door's edge.

The bell rings. A customer? Right now? Larsa swallows the rest of his swears and turns on his heel, half hopping to get a look as he slowly lets go of his foot. There's a girl standing behind him, a girl who kind of looks like --
"Wh-what? Shakti? Whoa! It's you!" He gives the other girl not even a second to confirm or refute her identity, and instead, very nearly bounces over to the entrance so he can place his hands on her shoulders as if to check if she was real. "Boy are you a sight for sorry eyes! I mean, not that you usually aren't but -- nah. Never mind. Haha, forget I said anything!" Larsa places both his hands on his hips. This is his time to shine.
"Oh, come in! I'd be a pretty poor host if I left you standing out there in the cold. But in any case, welcome to my place! If you've got something that needs a fixing-up, or if you need it, this is the place to be!"
Then, something occurred to him. He frowns, scratching a cheek with a single index finger as he asks, "Uh. Hey, you still remember me, right? Larsa Karimi, right?"

I feel blood, though I feel it in my veins, it's not enough. | she laughs lightly, and rests her hands on his forearms.
"so i hear," shakti has heard of larsa karimi, and long before that she has known larsa karimi. "and of course i remember," she looks at him with a mockery of a little pout, offence that he'd think otherwise, but shakti breaks into a grin immediately after.
taking it as invitation, she steps in and shuts the door behind her. "looks like you've been busy." oddly, she feels a little proud.

It looks as though Shakti has chosen to humor him (and perhaps, if Larsa were a little brighter, he would have realized that it was the other way around). "No harm, no harm I just wanted to double check! A lot happened since the last time I saw you, you know?" Well, no, she probably didn't know, but Larsa had a habit of automatically assuming that everyone knew precisely what he went on about.
He offers the girl a slightly sheepish expression. "Yeah, kinda. Does it show? I mean, I honestly don't really know what I'm doing. But people have been good to me, bringing their broken gadgets for me to fix up. Sometimes they bring themselves, and then I have to clean the blood off the floor. It's sorta gross. Never did like the red stuff, you know?"
On the inside, Larsa knew he was just running his mouth. On the other hand, he couldn't help himself, not when it was an old friend where he could prove that he was no longer Larsa the Cow Tipper.
"What have you been up to then?"

I feel blood, though I feel it in my veins, it's not enough. | her interest is split between the conversation and the workshop - she's listening, of course, but not looking at him, her fingers are linked behind her back as if it's the only way to resist reaching out for a curio.
"well, it seems like you've been doing pretty well for someone who doesn't really know what he's doing." she turns back to face larsa. "it's not for everyone," the red stuff. she's passed time on the same spectrum, though on a very different end - blood, guts, breaking things. (breaking so many things but still tugging insistently at fate's well-woven strings).
"still travelling, hunting." shakti's never found herself able to settle down or stop or still. "last week, almost took down a massive snake - i'm going back to see if i can finish it off." once she finds a willing companion. once the dull weather lets up.

A compliment from Shakti is kind of nice. Larsa wonders when the next time will be, when he'll be able to get another one out of her. "Sweet, yeah, I guess that's true." Flounder about and pretend you knew what you were doing long enough, and eventually, whatever you were doing would become what you were supposed to be doing.
He blinks. The hunting, the traveling, the culting was still around, then. In the back of his mind, Larsa wonders if Alya runs off with them again from time to time, or if her newly-found career as an explorer was her outlet to pound things over the head. "Snake? You mean the poisonous type or the the strangling type? I feel like either or would be kind of dangerous... but if you're the one taking them down, it should be no problem, right?"
"I mean, you can probably do anything you want when you set your mind to it, Shakti."
