[edgeoftheknife]

Look, ah.

There's something I've been meaning to tell you, for... well, probably close to two hundred years, now. It's been on my mind a lot lately, and I think I need to just come clean about it.

So, here goes.

Anton?

You snore. A lot.

[redlightgreenlight]

Well, that was anticlimatic...

[edgeoftheknife]

Funny, that's just what I said.

[redlightgreenlight]

All that build up for something so...disappointing.

[edgeoftheknife]

...wait, you haven't bugged Anton's room, have you? I swear I just said this last night.

[redlightgreenlight]

I don't need them, I can hear it from three floors up.

[edgeoftheknife]

[Brief, utter silence]

Well. I'll just... try to keep the screaming to a minimum then, shall I?

[Take that howeeeever you like]

[redlightgreenlight]

[Also a brief silence, followed by a deep breath. You just had to go there, Erskine.]

That would be delightful, I simply hate it when others have more fun than I do.

[gistful]

I do apologise, Lady Valdis. I'll endeavour to contain myself in future.

[So. Deadpan. Yes, this is intended to take some focus off Erskine's response.]

[redlightgreenlight]

[She knows what you are doing, Anton]

Oh, please do. It disrupts my beauty sleep.

[gistful]

You hardly need it.

[redlightgreenlight]

That's sweet of you, but it's nothing I haven't heard before.

[gistful]

Naturally. But in this case I'm hoping the flattery will distract you from bedroom-related occurrences.

[redlightgreenlight]

Hmm, [She laughs] It's tempting...

[denyamenti]

You can't say things like that bluntly, sefatjiw. Show, not tell.

[redlightgreenlight]

What exactly are you asking me to show?

[This was an unexpected development, but she was in a playful mood]

[denyamenti]

There are just more creative ways to demonstrate. For example, ask him to clarify whether there were eight or nine A's in "aaaaaaaaaah".

[redlightgreenlight]

When was the last time you were laid? Because there are many other creative things to demonstrate that are far more interesting.

[denyamenti]

True, but most people can't bend those ways.

If that's your attempt to set me up on a date, your approach needs some work.

[redlightgreenlight]

I don't need to set you up, your wonderful personality should have women flocking to you.

[denyamenti]

[ that's cold, Valdis ]

Aa, no doubt.

[ but he'll bow out of the conversation there ]
