[ it might be reading into things a little, maybe, to call her voice tense ]

It is — uncommonly quiet today, no?

I trust that all is well, [ a pause that manages to audibly convey the act of suspicious looming ] Else we would hear of it.

[ is that a threat or a question? ]

Comments

[dashing]

You all but invite discord, Knight-Lieutenant.

[limier]

Discord is a constant neighbour. I've concern when she goes silent.

[dashing]

No need to provoke it with goading and doubts.

Private.

Have you reason to suspect some particular disturbance lurking?

private infinity

[limier]

I am not — [ a sharp breath. easy now. ] — Maker's sake, when do they not?

[ lurk ]

private infinity PLUS ONE

[dashing]

You sound like a bored child.

( Evenly; maybe she's making a joke. Maybe it's a reference to the sort of thing whoever trained Herian would tell her in the White Spire. It's whatever you want it to be. )

[limier]

[ it's been,

a while since she's thought of evander. ]

And you, an old nag.

[ but the heat flickers; is gone. almost fond, save that it's been — a while, since she'd thought of evander. ]

[dashing]

( A note of wryness; )

Perhaps you could chance speaking to the Knight-Enchanter so, but I never dared.

( Wren has the honour of getting all her attitude C: )

[limier]

[ 'thanks i hate it' ]

Who could think otherwise? You've yet a tongue in your head.

[dashing]

A silent Knight-Enchanter would certainly make for dramatic tales.

( They have to settle for surly. Thank goodness Herian isn't dramatic. )

[limier]

Of the sort written in serials?

[ wait were they never going to discuss that just because it's horrifying ]

[dashing]

( record scratch )

[dashing]

I've no idea to what you refer.

( yes that will work )

[limier]

Mn. I imagine Serah Yngvi, [ 'congealedinagutterson' thank you ] Would be curious to hear of their inspiration.

[ STAY IN LINE AMSEL ]

[dashing]

I imagine Serah Yngvi would be incredulous as to the source, given how good and proper he believes you to be.

[limier]

[ the harsh bark of laughter that follows can't possibly belong to wren

she probably doesn't know how

but boy it is. prolonged. ]

[galvanising]

I was engrossed in a report. Would you prefer I read aloud?

[limier]

[ never mind how unsettling nell's silence has been — ]

Perhaps we might get through these more quickly.
