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.

[edgeoftheknife]

No, you're right, you don't.

[He's just being a shit. Chin in hands.]

Having fun out there, Mister Superior Specimen?

[gistful]

[You're always a little shit, Erskine.]

Eminently. I've had to gently dissuade three hopefuls already. Your magnetism is either broken or infectious.

[edgeoftheknife]

It's your own animal magnetism, Shudder. I'm just helping you channel it.

Did you buy me anything?

[gistful]

If I had, would I give it to you after you so maligned my reputation? For shame.

[edgeoftheknife]

What, you're holding out on me? What do I have to do to make it up to you, then?

[gistful]

Worshipping the ground I walk on may be a step in the right direction.

[edgeoftheknife]

I can do that. How about a foot rub when you get back?

[gistful]

That would be another step in the right direction, yes.

[edgeoftheknife]

Fantastic, it's a date.

Now did you buy me something?

[gistful]

Maybe.

[edgeoftheknife]

Anton.

[gistful]

Don't ruin the surprise for yourself, Ravel.

[edgeoftheknife]

...as long as it's a nice surprise. I'm a little iffy on surprises these days.

[gistful]

I'm always nice.

[edgeoftheknife]

And which century's version of the word "nice" would that be?

[gistful]

The current one, obviously. You aren't old enough to be losing your memory yet.
