What scents do they have??

[opines]

Then give me one that won’t.

( alana is not shouting but she’s right on the edge of it )

I have to admit I'm getting more and more on board with it myself. With 'magic' and witches and all that. It could make many things more interesting for this dimension. Actual werewolves, ghosts, vampires, or things that magic can bring close to that? Amazing. Where do I sign.

Ah, isn't it odd how everywhere, everywhen, the story is the same?

Three books. One to scribble in, one to refine test formulas, and one that's written with obvious deliberation, for reference. [Maybe Jon should have been a little more cool with the romance angle, and he pauses, adding] I find it a lot easier to talk shop with new people. Sorry.

[magic_eye]

I'll mention you to Mr. Mind as an ally. [That to the "where do I sign" part, and Sivana grins.] Bringing the Magiclands together into one will be catastrophic at first, for several definitions of the term. The result is difficult to imagine... But I think you'll like it. The influence of the Darklands alone on this world... There live your actual ghosts and vampires and the like.

It is. And I'm starting to think that it's impossible for those responsible to even pretend it's not. Not fully.

Of course! [Not said as if he's already thought of that, but like he's acknowledging a brilliant idea. Which he is.] Hypotheses and tests should be recorded separately, but simple loose-leaf notes could be mixed up or misplaced too easily. That sounds like a brilliant method of distinguishing each stage. [He shakes his head at the apology.] No, if something doesn't feel completely comfortable for you, I'd rather you didn't fake it. It's not like there's any rush, and I already enjoy your company.

[Oh Tony will never stop. That's one of his most charming qualities, right? No?]

Well for starters, you could stop walking around like you have a rod shoved up your ass. [Quit it with the perfect posture, Cap. Though he does hold up a hand.] Am I allowed to use that word? Also- to avoid the usual letch commentary, you can try looking less serious all the time. [Smile more, is what Tony means.] You always look like you're just waiting around for a red alert.

[aperitifs]

You're asking for a lie? Something to comfort you?

I thought you were better than that.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Anything you want really, do you like ones that smell like vanilla cake and sweets? More natural woodsy types? Floral?

[gravity_grrl]

I didn't do anything personally the first time, my mentor did. He telekinetically ripped out all her cybernetics.

still reading vol10-13, sorry if this is mentioned there

[bonde]

So where did you have the cane made?

[neither it nor swordplay are his style, but he does appreciate a good accessory and concealed weapon.]

[facioutfacias]

Are you considering carrying one with you? I find it quite useful. It was made by an acquaintance of Herder's.

[bonde]

Not Herder himself? [hmm.] Must be quite the artisan.

I don't think I'll use one outside of the occasional disguise. A retractable walking stick, on the other hand, might prove more versatile for my purposes.

[ His competitive spirit never fails to flare up at mentions of Edelgard, even though he should have settled down on that by now. Given his somewhat... injured pride, he's more susceptible to any perceived compliments at the moment!

Ferdinand nods with his usual vigor, but his tone does take a more serious turn. ]

Indeed. I most certainly can understand that, especially considering privacy is not exactly common given our positions. [ Perhaps it really is a quirk of Claude's but he does need to remind himself that he shouldn't take everything the man says at face value. ] Oh, but there is an important question I must ask regarding the matter.

[ He glances around briefly, ascertaining there is privacy right now - it would be difficult to keep any incoming letters to himself if anyone overheard. ]

Why do you wish for us to begin a correspondence? I imagine it is not merely for friendly banter.

[opines]

Do you even know how to tell the truth?

[aperitifs]

Do you know how to accept it?

[opines]

Try me.

[aperitifs]

I am sorry about Will.

[opines]

( instantaneously: )

I don't believe that for a second.

[aperitifs]

Why is that?

[opines]

You could have stopped. You could have walked away.

( and none of them would have questioned it. her, least of all. )

You wanted to break him. So all he’d have was you.

[aperitifs]

I wanted to help him. You simply do not see him for who he is, I'm afraid.

bless i've done the same

[opines]

Is that what you call this? Helping him?!

( she really is yelling now )

ty for accepting my idiocy

[aperitifs]

You wounded him, you know.

( let's play 'who's more overprotective of will graham' for awhile, shall we? )

look ur valid, text spam is the bomb

[opines]

I wounded him?! I did?

( truly outraged. because if anyone has a right to be wounded, it's her. but that wounding drove her directly into hannibal's arms and maybe that was part of his play all along. )

So, were you after revenge, then? All the people in the world who ever hurt Will Graham? ( a beat, an attempt to master herself ) That doesn't explain them all.

[aperitifs]

Unfortunately, I am not quite that noble. But it isn't a stretch to say that I wanted to help Will.

[opines]

You have a funny way of helping people.

Am I supposed to believe you did all this, just to ‘help’ him?
