Beleth, I do appreciate it an awful lot, but it's fine. If I had to live with his personality I'd lash out, too.

[arlathvhen]

...He was being rude to you.

[ :c ]

[byblow]

[ turn that :c into c: ]

Well, yes. But I'm - you have met me, haven't you? I can't have hallucinated our entire friendship. I have ten good years left before the lyrium starts causing that sort of thing, at least.

[arlathvhen]

You have ten--

That's terrible.

[ Turns the :c into a :,c ]

[byblow]

Oh, no, don't worry. I won't actually live that long.

[ That's a joke. Kind of. Sort of. In case it isn't clear, after a moment he notes aloud: ]

That's a joke.

[arlathvhen]

[ He gets a loud sniffle for his troubles. How could you. ]

I was just trying to help...

[byblow]

[ Oh Maker. ]

Oh Maker. It's fine, Beleth. I'm joking. Just - [ he drops his voice to a dramatic stage whisper ] - go easy on Howe. He already has to live with himself every day. It must be a terrible burden to bear.

[justice_is_blond]

And so delightful to bare.

[ One more sniffle, just to make sure he feels Bad. ]

Alright. I guess.

[byblow]

[ He's the worst person in the world. ]

If he ever actually hurts my feelings, I'll let you know.

[arlathvhen]

Thank you. Or-- [ Are you supposed to thank someone for letting you do them a favor?? She has no idea. ]

--Anyway. If he does it...or anybody else, I guess? I'll. Talk to them. Sternly.

[ They may never recover. ]

You can sit on my shoulders and wear a really big robe so they think you're tall and scary.
