RECIPIENT: You!
NOTES: Roëmænce Partnær Quiz. This whole post is NSFW.

Now that we've the proper criteria, who do we think is compatible? Quietly simmering with lust, and unable to act upon it by virtue of their, oh. Virtues.

Yes. They're demons. They glut themselves on the emotions of mortals.

But you're a mage; you're not helpless to their wiles. Did these mage prisons not teach you how to challenge and counter them?

[A frustrated exhale and the usual undertones of something deeper, guttural. But Vlast is always sneering or growling at something like a high-strung watchdog.]

No. I suppose it isn't.

I wouldn't say I've had a bad go of it. Hardly a sand eel.

...Why...?

my phone autocorrected suit to shit originally

[wythersake]

You both come at conversational convention as outsiders, and have worked hard to remedy that. A degree of mutual practice would suit you well.

that gives that sentence a *whole* new meaning

[allthatgleamsisgold]

There is a saying I believe.

Something about the blind leading the blind.

[wythersake]

See? [ that's a blind joke ] You're already improving.

[allthatgleamsisgold]

You're enjoying this.

I should have bit harder.
