[ktiseos]

You know, I think I have changed my mind.

[but he's probably joking too. it's fine.]

[guestservices]

Playing hard to get! Hey, that's your choice to be a coward.

[ aquila takes another drink, still sounding very amused. ]

[ktiseos]

I have never described myself as easy.

[takes another sip... he is running low on wine by now.]

But I do somewhat miss the capability for flight.

[guestservices]

[ they will reach over and top off his glass for him with the bottle they got from the shadow bartender. ]

Something you could do at home? It is pretty great.

[ktiseos]

I had a spell or two with the capacity for it, yes. Though never quite in the sense that you offer.

I have found myself curious about it.

[guestservices]

It's fun like this. You can travel so fast - faster than people'd believe, if you're good at it.

[ they hum; the shadowy wings form at their back again, just briefly, stretching out behind their back. ] I can't imagine doing it any other way.

[ktiseos]

[the fingers wrapped around his glass twitch, arm shifting briefly as if he thinks to touch them, but. his free hand is occupied.

he takes another drink instead.]

I knew someone who did, as well. Mayhap that is where my curiosity springs from.

[guestservices]

Oh yeah? Wings and all?

[ they tilt their head, glancing over. ]

[ktiseos]

Lacking in the capacity, within the Prism, but- yes. Wings and all.

[guestservices]

Not a very common trait, wings. Or, at least knowing how to use them.

[ their shadowy ones flutter behind them, briefly. ]

So you want to try it to be like them? That's sweet.

[ktiseos]

Something of the sort, [he says, a little quieter.] A form of connection, perhaps.

[guestservices]

[ they quiet for a second, and murmur: ]

Being away from someone important, one day feels like three years.

[ but, they shake their head after that. ] Makes sense. You miss whoever this is, huh?

[ktiseos]

...so it does.

[though-- really, it had only been a day or so since he'd seen him, before coming here. maybe that's why it all feels so fresh, despite going home.]

And so I do. I believe we have spoken of them before.

[guestservices]

Your hostage, right?

[ktiseos]

They would not make an effective one if I did not miss them dearly, I expect.

[so-- yeah.]

[guestservices]

[ i personally am proud of emet for how emotionally open this tag is

they glance at their cup, and then take a drink. ]

No, I imagine not. [ with a little huff. ] You brought him up during the trial, I remember.

[ktiseos]

[YEAH I WONDER WHY THAT IS, SISI?]

-ah. I had nearly forgotten it.

You paid close attention, then.

[guestservices]

[ who's sisi ]

What, you think I'm blind under here? I pay attention.

[ktiseos]

To a side conversation of the proceedings. You needn't explain; I understand fully.

[is this slightly teasing. maybe. he just takes a fuckin sip babes.]

[guestservices]

Maybe I just think you're cute.


[ do you think they will be flustered by this? do you think this is a game emet selch ]

[ktiseos]

Impressive, considering how little I am sure you see my face.

[everyone here is so fucking small

he quickly takes another drink, though.]

[guestservices]

[ you can't see aquila's expression at all, but it's probably kind of smug. ]

You just pointed out how much I pay attention.

[ktiseos]

It is not necessarily a compliment, in all senses.

[maybe don't pay attention to him and do your job]

[guestservices]

I'm both competent and have eyes, thank you.

[ so there! the shadowy wings behind them flutter a bit. ] If you like that about me, you can just say that too, huh?

[ktiseos]

Technically speaking, we've no proof that you do.

[nobody can see your eyes you nerd]
