[ they pause for a moment. ]

There's one I don't mind. Could take or leave any other.

[ashenvaliant]

[ mama bird….. ]

I’ve worked for religious organisations but… I’ve seen things it does that aren’t great earlier. It’s probably a case by case basis, what I feel about it.

[ hm. ]

If it’s just the one, they must be important.

[guestservices]

[ hm? ]

Yeah. Think that's fair.

[ for the second part, they tilt their head. ] Isn't asking somebody about their relationship with religion one of those taboo conversation topics? Y'know, how much money they make, which people keep asking me, what religion they follow, which you're now asking me... politics? That the other one? Maybe I'm safe from that.

[ashenvaliant]

…

Kinda defensive answer to “oh, you must like them if you’re ambivalent on all the others”, Aquila.

[guestservices]

Kinda like I'm supposed to be guarding my identity, pretty bird.

[ they don't say it meanly, at least. ] Stop fishing!

[ashenvaliant]

Literally yes or no would’ve done it.

[ blease. he looks amused though. ]

Yeah that’s what they all say.

[guestservices]

Maybe I don't want you to know that. I'm a private bird beyond the curtains.

[ nyeh nyeh ]

And yeah! It is! Nosy.

[ashenvaliant]

And you don’t know anything about us, obviously.

[guestservices]

I think I told you already, I don't go snooping on you guys for entertainment. And again! You aren't the one wearing a faceless uniform, here!

[ashenvaliant]

[ heh. ]

I am grateful for that much, then. Everyone has secrets.

[guestservices]

Mhm. So be respectful of mine!

[ they poke him in the arm with a claw. they're teasing, at least. ]

[ashenvaliant]

[ never ]

[ he does stick out his tongue though. ]

The tragedy of being so mysterious, I’m afraid.

[guestservices]

[ they reach out to playfully try and snatch yuri's tongue when it sticks out. ]

I know I'm irresistibly charming and mysterious, but try and resist.

[ashenvaliant]

[ the tongue is gone now, nice try. ]

This place is full of trials and tribulations.

[guestservices]

Yeah! Isn't it?

[ they're laughing, amused. ]

[ashenvaliant]

It is, it is. I’ll do my best to resist your charms, don’t worry.

[ help ]

[guestservices]

Too bad, maybe I'd answer your questions if I thought you were more charming.

[ singsong and playful. ]

[ashenvaliant]

I’m plenty charming, thank you. I can’t account for your own shortcomings.

[ ♫ ♫ ♪ ~ ]

[guestservices]

Hm?

[ashenvaliant]

If you can’t see my charms.

[guestservices]

Oh. Maybe it's the veil.

[ they're snickering, though. ] People have a pretty fuckin' hard time charming me, you know! Don't fall under spells that easy.

[ashenvaliant]

Maybe. It does add all that mystery to you though. The veil's probably doing most of the work.

[ sisi i'm in tears. ]

The ones who are easily charmed are usually suckers, to some extent. Good for you that you're not.

[guestservices]

[ who is sisi ]

Hmmm. You don't think I'm a mystery? I do. And I definitely know I'm not a sucker.

[ashenvaliant]

[ spinkicks (affectionate) ]

Oh, I just said the veil's doing the heavy lifting.

You've never fallen for any clever schemes or scams then?

[guestservices]

[ now you have to tell me what you're laughing at ]

Not that I can think of. My dumb decisions are my own dumb decisions!
