And if you hurt him intentionally and knowingly, I will hunt you down and slit your throat.

He is a lunatic, but he's one of my lunatics.

Now. Have you eaten recently?

[ Why are you all like this? Not new territory, never going to not make him roll his eyes and sigh heavily. ]

You're not even doing a good job of not admitting you haven't eaten recently.

You certainly aren't going to admit that you probably did but happen to not remember it because of a particular event created by the city to someone you expect to want to murder it for you, anyway.

If you're feeling guilty and just want to be punched in the face by someone because you think you deserve it I'll oblige, but if you want me to question what you tell me you need to seriously improve the level at which you lie and evade. I didn't spend thirty years surrounded by people conditioned to behave like psychopaths and not develop some skill at cutting through bullshit.

Particularly not when I already have context for you people and your lives.

Wrong kind of context. I don't talk about other people and I'm not asking them questions about you. It's what they've told me about their lives and their experiences that provides context.

And why the frell are you contracted to someone who is willing to kill you? That's idiotic.

Signed when you both thought you were someone else then. I'll give him shit later, but if you actually kill one another you'd be in jail, or worse.

Do you live in public housing?

I wasn't keeping it a secret, though I appreciate Ephemera's discretion in case I was.

I'm finding you. You can either meet me at Wild Pony or I will figure out where you live and show up at your door. Your call.

There's a third option. That's you coming to me where I live.

What isn't an option I'll accept is none of the above.

[ He sends the address to the Duplex - and which half of it is theirs.

He starts coffee, puts a kettle of water on to heat, and is ready to open the door when Washington finally gets there. Hair neatly back and the tail wrapped in leather, black pants and red shirt, both of a fairly military cut and worn with boots.

Also wearing a wide black leather collar with red padding that only mostly obscures the submissive tattoo down his throat, and a teenaged kitten in one hand.

He gets out of the way so Washington can get in, thrusts the cat at him with a 'hold this' while he closes the door.

There's... a painting of the city at Sunrise that Ephemera did on one wall, and a sparkly galaxy like dildo bolted to another wall, and the neural interface from his neck sitting on the mantle. What is decoration? They don't know. ]


You are absolutely eating.

[ He's a good submissive. Really. ]

[ He wasn't expecting someone over 6 feet tall to show up. The guy having damn near six inches on him is a surprise.

Not necessarily an unpleasant one, but a surprise. ]


That was the point.

[ He inclines his head toward the kitchen - open concept, but separated by a bar, and very much just utilitarian and clean, save a bowl of fruit on the table.]

Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.

[ Look that b-crais has his name in it. He thinks he's introduced himself. Manners are not a point he's strong on.

And offering options isn't an accident.]

Crais is my last name. My first name is Bialar. Don't use it.

[ No lack of clarity on that, at least, as he moves to the kitchen to pour the coffee for Washington. He pretends to be ignoring Sylvester and how Washington is interacting with him, but he is not doing that.]

Tell me what you're willing to eat. Protein bar, yogurt, sandwich, fruit, or all of it. I'm only capable of cooking eggs and pancakes.

With the number of time you Armor People have asked me that question, I'm tempted to fling the fruit at your head.

[ He sounds more exasperated than mad. He grabs an apple and then adds a jar of peanut butter and a (butter) knife and takes it all to the table and points at a chair. ]

I don't want anything particular except the freedom to do what I want, and what I want to do is this. You're not going to believe me and are going to spend several months thinking there's a hidden motive. When you realize there isn't you're going to act like it's a revelation. Surprise me and don't do any of that, please.

I know your name. Sit down and eat food, you probably haven't done that since Felix turned up dead.

[ He takes Wash the cup of coffee, then goes to make himself a cup of tea, leaving the kitten happy to sit and purr in Wash's lap.]

Not exactly this. I had Felix hold the kitten and drink hot chocolate while I repaired his armor. Ephemera it was more a matter or refusing to fight back until he stopped trying to kill me.

Not seriously, no. Neither one of them is actually stupid.

[ He finally sits with his mug, on the opposite side of the table - and yeah, he'd hassle Wash for not eating it.

There's something very matter of fact in that statement. It's simple, but it is actually saying something important. A few things. One of them is that he's not an idiot, either. there's calculated risk and real confidence there, but it isn't based on nothing.]
