You couldn't be more full of bullshit if you tried.

[oh, of course not.

and so, the dance begins.]

And now we've got the displeasure of meeting again at such a nice affair.

[innerdaemons]

Why not use this as a chance to make peace? I would be quite upset if there were more violence between us.

[mind_blown]

Violence isn't allowed.

Convenient.

[he seems to still be pretty cocky, as he's stepping closer.]

[innerdaemons]

[ his eyebrows raise but he's not stepping back, either -- opening his arms, even, as if inviting him closer. ]

I can't picture you as the sort who would break the rules.

[mind_blown]

I'm considering it.

[but if only to circle him]

[innerdaemons]

Did you speak with miss Glacies, by chance?

[mind_blown]

She found me, actually.

So you ran straight to her.

[innerdaemons]

Whatever I can do to make her day a little dimmer.

[ - which, isn't actually what he meant to say, as insincere as he is, and visibly he looks a bit taken back ]

[mind_blown]

[he raises an eyebrow, and stops, having definitely circled into his space]

Cat caught your tongue?

[innerdaemons]

I imagine you're concerned.

[ another lie, and a purse of his lips -- before he just tries to gesture him closer still. ]

[mind_blown]

[he considers,]

Only inasmuch as I dunno what this did t' me either.

[and then he moves in closer still, realizing briefly that that was too sincere]

[innerdaemons]

[ he was expecting more bravado so his eyebrows lift again; before he smiles ]

There's a simple way to resolve this, isn't there?

[ the "simple" part is a lie. ]

[mind_blown]

[he sighs.]

There is. And I'm gonna hate every second of it.

[innerdaemons]

What an optimist.

[ he'll be reaching for Jay's hand since he's in his space already -- if he's allowed to take it he'll be trying to bring the back of his hand to his lips. ]

[mind_blown]

[thank god for the kinder kiss. He leans back, casual.]

Feel like a regular lady at the ball now.

[innerdaemons]

[ he laughs, as he lets the hand go ]

Pampered and spoiled?

[mind_blown]

Somethin' like that. Only thing I'm missin' is the fancy gala getup.

[innerdaemons]

Well, of all the impressions I could have made with that that does not seem the worst one.

[mind_blown]

It probably isn't the worst one.

For you.

I was honestly expectin' worse.

[innerdaemons]

Have I failed to live up to your expectations?

[mind_blown]

Hundred percent.

[he shifts both of his hands in his pocket.]

So, "dim" her day.

[innerdaemons]

What I had meant to say, is that I feel that she deserved to know. Or would you have preferred it remain a secret, hmm?

[mind_blown]

I can't imagine it made her day better.

There's a spectrum of responses you can have t' your killer. And she and I are on opposite ends of 'em.

[innerdaemons]

I cannot imagine it made it better, no, but I imagine in the end she would have preferred to know as well rather than be kept in the dark. Your motives did involve her, after all.

[mind_blown]

... Probably not.

[he considers, and grabs another vial.]

Fuck, if we're gonna have this chat, I want to fucking win with it.
