[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]

[guestservices]

Maybe I don't! Maybe I'm just a blind bird pretending to be a person.

[ that makes absolutely no sense but go off ]

Either way, I'm a working, busy bird, so if you're trying to sweet talk me into taking my veil off, you're gonna need way more sweet talk than that, big man. At least wine and dine me first!

[ktiseos]

[


lifting his glass of wine, with a raised brow.]

Aren't I.

[guestservices]

Who brought the wine here? Not you!

[ktiseos]

And I am drinking it with you regardless!

[he has one good arm to carry things with!]

[guestservices]

That's not wining and dining, that's "I showed up and you did all the work to invite me somewhere and picked the booze."

[ they are like clearly teasing. ]

'sides, I'm on duty. Work's important, so lemme keep my apparently eyeless face to myself as a professional.

[ktiseos]

Only because you require it as a professional.

[he says, finishing the second glass.]

If that is a request, however, I shall take it under advisement.

[guestservices]

What, the wining and dining? As a request, or as a professional requirement?

[ lol

they're just reaching over to top off his glass again immediately and they sound terribly amused. ]

[ktiseos]

I should hope it is not a professional requirement.

[guestservices]

It might be.


[ the energy of waggling eyebrows ]

[ktiseos]

For what purpose-!

[AQUILA.]
