[ktiseos]

[what's a union. anyway.]

-well. Should you get them, I suppose you may do as you wish with your time.

[guestservices]

[ they don't know either

they laugh, though, turning to face emet properly where they're settled. on the corner of the bed. ]

You can definitely count on that. [ and raise their glass. ]

[ktiseos]

[after another pause-- he raises his glass to them, in turn.]

I shall, then. I'll expect you to remember it.

[guestservices]

[ they reach out and clink their glass with emet's. ]

Deal.

You're not my only favorite, though, yeah? [ teasing ] I'm a pretty busy bird.

[ktiseos]

Oh? Then who else has earned your favor?

[he arches a brow, taking another sip. it's great that he's so big he's not feeling this At All.]

[guestservices]

Jealous?

[ they also do not seem to be feeling the booze very much, at least, as they're topping the two of them off. ]

[ktiseos]

Simply curious.

[he shrugs one shoulder, there.]

[guestservices]

Most of the people here suit me fine. I like people.

[ absently, as they run a finger around the rim of their glass. ] Lup's fun. Mollymauk is, too. Tieflings're always fun. Estelle's a sweetheart.

[ktiseos]

Of course you would get along with him.

[he mutters, as he takes a drink.]

...I suppose I do not object to any of them.

[guestservices]

[ oh amused. ]

Glad we've got the same taste. [ like, very amused. ] Sounds like you like a certain kind of person, though, so it's not surprising.

[ktiseos]

A certain kind of person tends to insist upon bothering me.

[huffs.]

I enjoy Harrowhark's company, as well.

[guestservices]

You said you liked persistent people.

[ just! saying!!

and, ah. there's a little affection in their voice: ] I do too. Smart as a whip, that one.

[ktiseos]

So she is. It is refreshing, I must admit.

[he says as if he knew zero smart people before]

[guestservices]

[ emet really just out here erasing percy ]

Why, because she's not full of mischief? That's bullshit, she's got a streak. I can tell.

[ktiseos]

[yeah that's on purpose!]

So long as she does not turn it on me, we shall continue to get along.

[guestservices]

Hahaha. We'll see.

[ they're amused, there, too - like they're laughing at a private joke. but: ] You seem to be in better spirits, you know. How're you feeling, from earlier in the weekend?

[ktiseos]

...it comes and goes. I feel fine now, however, save for the ache.

[the obvious, like, broken arm and generally being beat up.]

[guestservices]

Look, some of us have magic fingers who can help with that. [ they wiggle their gloved fingers. ] Eventually, but we already talked about it.

What you really should be doing is resting, big guy.

[ktiseos]

I must ask you not to phrase it in that way.

[stoppp.]

And I will rest when I am ready to.

[guestservices]

C'mon, what're you doing, besides entertaining a bird?

[ there's a little coaxing there, teasing. ] I'll read you a bedtime story.

[ktiseos]

Oh, don't be ridiculous-

[he is a full grown ancient thank you?]

Of what, pray tell.

[if it's a jokey answer he's kicking them out of his room]

[guestservices]

[ :3c ]

Well, what kind of stories do you like to hear?

[ktiseos]

One must wonder what sorts of stories a bird would have to tell.

[guestservices]

[ their demeanor softens a bit. ]

Probably ones about all the things they've taken under their wing.

[ktiseos]

[hm.

after a pause:]

Choose one, then.
