From:

[ he hums ]

I would not be upset, no, but at this point... I suppose it would be a surprise, for you to like me less for my cruelty.

From:

temperedinpride

Indeed. I suppose I would be the cruel one in that case; to pretend at liking you while pinning some hopes of changing you. No, I have no interest in such things.

I enjoy the time I spend with you simply as it is. You are a fascinating man, and yet a calming one to my weary soul. I do see why Emet-Selch cares so much for you, for you are easy to like.

[Don't question Ascians taste.]

From:

innerdaemons

If you praise me much more I will begin to feel embarrassed, my dear Lahabrea.

[ it's said with a smile, though, hands running down his sides again ]

It is likely no surprise to you that I enjoy the company of both of you quite a bit.

From:

temperedinpride

I could extol your many flaws if you like!

[He is joking though sighing at the touch.]

I should hope you do, for the time you spend with us. I do know you are somewhat masochistic but that would be too much.

From:

innerdaemons

Oh, for the purposes of my goals I have spent a great deal of time being friendly with those I dislike. But we are given much more choice, here.

From:

temperedinpride

I have no doubt you are fully capable of it. Your charm does not just extend to terrible old men.

But I wonder if you would enjoy it at all? It is nice to have more choice, and more understanding.

From:

innerdaemons

[ he laughs ]

Actually, I did charm a great deal of "terrible old men" at home as well. Though none quite as likeable as the both of you.

From:

temperedinpride

My, do you have a type, Absinthe?

Though I cannot imagine any being as likable as Emet-Selch and I.

From:

innerdaemons

Less a type, and more so a theme when it concerns the rulers of empires.

From:

temperedinpride

Oh? Well, you are popular with men used to power then.

From:

innerdaemons

You're making this all sound very salacious.

From:

temperedinpride

Indeed? I do hope you are least somewhat salacious with the most recent emperor in your acquaintance.

From:

innerdaemons

But of course! Or were you concerned we would save that until marriage?

[ lightly ]

From:

temperedinpride

Yes, both of you are so shy and retiring and timid I was deeply concerned.

From:

innerdaemons

He's quite almost as shy as you.

From:

temperedinpride

Well! I'm glad to hear you crazy kids have managed to muddle along despite all that. Somehow.

From:

innerdaemons

It has been a struggle and yet somehow we have persevered.

A feat, I am sure, and one I need no more details of I think.

[Which of them started this who knows but he definitely escalated it so does he have room to talk?]
