[Akko likes the suggestion a lot because she's about that life of getting more food for your buck, but laughs a little all the same. It seems a little more wishful thinking than reality.]
You think we can pull something like that off when it's not a festival?
[ at that, he chuckles. yeah, this is all wishful thinking, but it makes for fun conversation. he really did have a good time with her at that festival. ]
Probably not, but hey, it was worth suggesting!
[ he turns towards the city and gestures towards it with his head. ]
C'mon, let's go.
[ lance isn't one to leave things silent for too long, so whenever the walk begins, he turns towards her once more. ] So how've you been? Got any fun stories to share about your time here yet?
[Akko lets Lance take the lead for just a moment when he motions for them to get going before she takes a quick one-two step to fall in pace beside him.]
I’ve been alright, [she says with a small nod.] I mean, all the weird Monster stuff aside, anyway.
[She leans a little closer to him, speaking in a lower voice as though telling him a secret.]
I grew a tail this month.
[...It’s not that much of a secret. She’s had to find clothes that accommodate for it because even if it’s not long like a lot of the other Monster tails, one day of having it just stuffed in pants and another trying it under a skirt before it was enough for Akko. So, it’s not like it’s not there in plain view now. But still! It feels a little weird to talk about growing things like that.]
[Straightening up, she continues with a slight sigh,]
It’s been rough finding regular work though. I, uh, maybe got fired again...
[ granted, he doesn't have his tail out right now since they're on land. he sure does have a shark tail in the water, though. for that, he's grateful, because legs and also not having to worry about leaving a hole in his pants for it.
though at the mention of her being fired, he raises an eyebrow and squints at her. just a teeny bit. ]
[Akko's cheeks turn a little pink for a moment as it turns out that she does indeed possess a modicum of shame sometimes.]
The shopowner was this really mean old lady and I didn't like the way she was talking to my coworker. So, I don't know. I got mad and I stole her glasses! I mean, I didn't mean to take them? It just sorta happened. [Those Puca instincts, man...] Anyway, I couldn't really find them, so...
[Akko holds up both hands, shaking her head furiously.]
I'm not usually like that! I mean, I don't like it when people act like jerks like that, but I wouldn't steal like that usually.
[It's one thing to enact petty revenge on someone where you do something like a small prank to embarrass them a little if trying to speak up isn't working. It's another to go so far as to steal and hide something from them. It's one of the few firings she's gone through that she feels is... Well, it's honestly fair.]
[ he can't help but laugh a little; that sheepish look on her face is hard to stay huffy at, and he folds his arms over his chest. honestly, he can't even blame her for it. ]
Might just come with being a puca. Trust me, I feel you on the whole "stealing" thing. I got caught in the act more than once myself!
[Akko's genuinely a little surprised by that. Lance definitely strikes her as someone willing to bend the rules, but maybe not quite enough to go full-on breaking them. So, she's immediately curious.]

[ where does he even begin with this, oh my god. ]
You know, it kind of sounds like you dodged a bullet if she was a mean old lady. Maybe you should work for someone really nice?
[ a beat. ] Geez, I didn't know you had that in you!

[ yuma was there to stop him from stealing a shirt he'd broken on accident, but that was a very close call. also... ]
Aaaand I tried to steal some silverware once, all because it was shiny. You know. Just Merrow problems.

Did you get in trouble for that?
