Though it's not convent. [open]

Who| Dave Strider and Feferi Peixes and YOU
What| It's the middle of the Arena and Dave thinks now is a Really Good Time to introduce people to his girlfriend. Sword-fighting and showboating about Celebrus within.
Where| Around the village and the outskirts.
When| Mid Week Two
Warnings/Notes| None yet.

As usual, this Arena is abysmal. It stinks, the costumes are lame and a lot of important people have already kicked the bucket. You gotta keep on keepin' on, though, so Dave and Feferi have done just that. With heatproof gloves and sponsor goodies coming through, it's getting easier to deal with things. Now they both have swords and enough copies of Celebrus to burn while picking apart the articles. Overall, it's pretty hard to be miserable when you're knee-deep in a big ol' teen crush and spending almost all of your time with the object of your affection. It certainly makes time bearable for Dave, perhaps unbearable for some of the people around him. He's eager to introduce her to people, though it may not be the best time. He isn't actively seeking people out, but if he happens by them he'll find a chance to show her off.

For now, they have shit to focus on, like sword-fighting with one another. Dave is trying to teach Feferi the finer details of swordsmanship, so they take to more secluded areas of the village or surrounding places and have a good old time waving their pointy sticks at each other. If Dave happens to knock the sword out of her hand or he's indignant about a loss, he might get caught up in the moment enough to lift her up and maybe even do something horrifically sappy like spinning her. Look, he just doesn't think anyone will see. Anyone but the cameras, anyway, but he doesn't care what they see anymore. They're perfectly alert for an approach, so a rustle of a bush will have them tensing for a fight.

Later in the night, they huddle up in the shitty village houses with copies of Celebrus to burn and to read. Sometimes this means reading the articles in dumb voices, sometimes it means Dave is pitching ideas for new games to sell and admiring the printed version of Tantrum Bingo. They might welcome a friendly guest, but the swords aren't just for stabbing rats in here. It's still a perfectly appropriate time to do introductions.

Through the day, there's foraging, hunting for food and general exploring to do together. There's a perfectly acceptable level of discretion used when doing this, but sometimes Dave gets caught on a topic and can't help babbling in a low voice.

At any point, if Dave is familiar with the person approaching, he'll make sure to introduce her like he's taking a leaf out of Will Smith's book. He knows a lot of people and not enough of them know that his girlfriend is great. Plus it helps to have strong alliances for both of them, he's gunning for her to win this time.

Feferi turns to spot their stalker, following Dave's gaze. She's not intimidated, just... maybe a little bit insulted. Her fins stay pinned against her neck and she frowns in his general direction as he tries to explain himself away, then shoots Dave a look at the attempted peace offering.

"I don't know, what do you think? Are we going to fall for that? I have never seen this guy before, it sort of sounds like a trap to me..." She doesn't even really try to keep her voice down. She might be a bit hungry, but it's going to take a lot more than pastries to get her off her guard. She'd rather hunt, if it comes down to it. "It is up to you, though."
