It is wholly ridiculous.

["emet-selch why does aquila call you babygirl?" "let's stop talking now"]

[guestservices]

Maybe you're a "darling" guy. Love? [ a beat. they laugh. ] Maybe 'good boy'.

[ktiseos]

[hey here's a question if this is his dream can he dream aquila is gagged for that

this is not a joke bc he snaps his fingers reflexively and tries to do exactly that.]

[guestservices]

[ help

he can try, sure! it doesn't last very long, because npcs have rights, so shadows consume aquila's form and the spell breaks after a moment. they are like unbearably smug. ]

Oh ho. [ WHAT DOES THAT MEAN ] Maybe I should leave before this dream takes a turn...?

[ktiseos]

Just what are you implying-!

[STOP SAYING THESE THINGS HE IS GOING TO LOSE IT.]

[guestservices]

[ knifecat ]

I mean, hey, if you're going to gag me, at least kiss me first.





[ please stop ]

[ktiseos]

Somehow I suspect even that would fail to shut you up!

[guestservices]

[ he's so correct

aquilas having the time of his life rn ]

Maybe! Who knows, you might not want me shut up for long. I'm pretty good with this mouth of mine, big guy.

[ktiseos]

Then use it to say something useful, instead of-- of this!

[guestservices]

I'm finding this pretty useful.

[ktiseos]

That makes one of us.

[he hates this]

[guestservices]

[ they graciously wave their hand. ]

Ask your questions.

[ktiseos]

You are the one who started this diversion in the first place!

[ohhh he hates them so bad. he reaches up to rub at his face.]

Fine. Just what sort of work do you have left.

[guestservices]

[ hehe? :3c

sweetly: ] Actually, I think you started the diversion in the first place by calling me here.

[ c: ] No?

[ktiseos]

You know very well what I was referring to, Aquila.

[look he doesn't know if it's safe to admit there is any kind of diversion so he leaves that part alone.]

[guestservices]

I do!

[ they tilt their head. ]

But, hey. It's sad we can't be invited to the living's meeting, so, I don't mind passing the time.

[ktiseos]

-yes, well. You shall have to make do with us instead, I suppose, although I doubt you would have been able to share anything with them regardless.

[guestservices]

Course not. Not our duty to interfere with anything.

[ktiseos]

Dutiful as ever, then, aren't you.

[guestservices]

Always have been, always will be.

[ktiseos]

[he exhales a sigh, then, taking a seat at the base of one of the trees.]

And shall that duty end with our stay, or are you further obligated?

[guestservices]

I have another job to get back to, don't I?

[ they stretch, choosing to stay up for now. ] Wouldn't say I'd ever stop being dutiful.

[ktiseos]

...I suppose. It is not as if I can say otherwise, for myself.

[he has to get back to his own duty. he has to. and to get vax back to his, whatever he has to do for it, wherever he is.]

[guestservices]

[ he's right here? :/ ]

Kinda married to your job, huh.

[ktiseos]

[binch]

Surely you know already that my life and duty are the same.
