Who| Dave Strider and Elsa
What| Dave and Elsa went separate ways after his fight with Eponine, it's about time they talked about what happened there.
Where| The Arendelle Shop
When| Later on in week 2
Warnings/Notes| None yet, may add later.
There's been a lot weighing on Dave's mind for a long time. Since before he got with Loki, since before he fought Eridan and Eponine and even before jailbreak, really. He's used to having Rose take one look at him and know exactly what's going on, but the Rose he has is a little far removed from the dramatics of a teenager. He's been feeling better in the past week, but he doesn't feel good. Not about himself, anyway. He never wanted to be that guy between Eponine and Orc and now, as if with tremendously terrible timing, Orc has died for good. The way Eponine had spoken to him about it had hurt more than he'd let on to anyone. His ego and self worth have always been fragile, but never to a debilitating state. He functions fine, but there's that voice in his head that makes second guesses and reminds him continuously of his fuck ups. For a moment, it had felt like Eponine was that voice personified, which is a disconcerting way to feel about someone you had earnest feelings for.
He hasn't opened up to anyone about it, of course. He plowed forward with the Arena and took it almost entirely out on Eridan, only to make a silent deal with Loki without so much as a flicker of guilt. For that moment, anyway. Despite knowing that what they're doing is paying off, he feels like a dick for initiating it so soon after what happened. She said in so many words that she was leading him on, so why the hell should he feel bad? In life, everyone experiences a Beyonce moment. A point in time in which her songs become all the more poignant and deep. For now it's Dave. Dave is the Beyonce in this moment. He doesn't owe anything to someone who would treat him like trash, he knows that deep down, but it's hard to admit to yourself.
His feelings on the matter are complicated, to say the very least, but his guilt net also spreads far enough to reel Elsa into the equation. He really hadn't wanted her involved, but that doesn't mean he isn't grateful and more than a little impressed at how well she'd handled the entire situation. Soon enough, he can't put off searching for her to check on her any longer and he sets off on his skateboard to search. After checking a few places, he can't help feeling like the Arendelle shop would be an easy bet. Too easy, maybe, but it's worth a shot.
He rolls to a stop outside the store, stepping inside cautiously with his board under his arm with the intention of searching for her, but like a bird he can't help but be drawn in by the shiny artifacts that decorate the walls. He's leaning in to study what looks to be a crest and again it's dawning on him that his friends are literally from fairy tales. Weirder things have been known to happen, of course, but it sets a strange feeling over him as he studies the store in silence.
