"I may have lost an eye, but I gained a dragon."

[ well the last time he got punched by a girl he also lost an eye in the same fight. so — ]

Twould depend on if you could land the hit. I suppose it would depend on the hit as well.

[ — he hasn't learned, clearly. ]

[peasant]

[ saints, does this list of strange fetishes never end. ]

A surprise strike is more of my specialty. And it was to his nose, if you're taking dedicated notes.

Don't tell me you're truly trying to pick a fight with a woman the size of a tree branch right now.

[ AGAIN. ]

[sapphyre]

[ she keeps pushing this narrative, he'll just have to assume she wants to fuck him. he doesn't make up the rules. ]

I believe we're just talking.

[peasant]

[ she's a saint as pure as winter snow, thank you (footage not found). ]

Do you usually begin all your conversations with thinly veiled threats and challenges? In my experience, talking doesn't usually involve discussions of fireballs and fists.

You're trying to goad me. It's not your most subtle work.

[sapphyre]

[ how did they fit so much attitude in such a tiny body. ]

And there you go again, assuming you know me so well.

[peasant]

If I'm so wrong, then correct me. I think I've given you ample opportunity to do so.

[ or could it be that she has a tendency to be annoyingly right? hm? checkmate. ]

[sapphyre]

[ moving on. ]

What would you prefer to talk about then?

[peasant]

[ hm. suspiciously courteous. ]

We could talk about you, since you insist I don't know anything. Tell me something you'd like for me to know.

[sapphyre]

I don't want to fight you, not really.

[ well... it is honest, and it is important to this conversation, and it is about him. ]

[peasant]

[ it's a bit of a loophole answer, but — she'll allow it. her concession is, perhaps, smoothed along by her surprise. ]

Was it really just as simple as your own curiosity, then?

[sapphyre]

Why is that so hard to believe?

[peasant]

You should know why.

[ the long list of bloody, creative ways in which grisha face persecution is only the tip of her parania. as for the rest — ]

People always have hidden motivations for being "just curious".

[sapphyre]

[ well, he comes from a family more likely to bed a witch than burn one. but he also comes from a different family that definitely would like to burn one.

so, that is fair. he should.]

True. This could just be a creative ploy to get you beheaded.

[ he's joking. he's JOKING. how does one inflect sarcasm into their penmanship?]

[peasant]

[ :/ :\ it's times like these he's fortunate that she's a morbid creature by nature. ]

Beheading? Really? I was hoping for a more imaginative execution than that. Once you've seen one axe aimed at your head, you've seen them all. Loses its appeal very quickly.

[sapphyre]

Would you prefer to first be bathed in dragonflame? I just thought you would appreciate something swift beforehand.

[ there's too much actual necromancy going around to just leave a witch headless. she'll put it back on. ]

[peasant]

Well, that wouldn't do. I'm impervious to heat and flame.

[ she is absolutely not, but why enlighten him otherwise? ]

[sapphyre]

Ah, so you've been burned at the stake before. Is that it?

[ that would explain some things. ]

[peasant]

[ wow. wowowowow. ]

Sounds like hopeful thinking on your part, perhaps.

Immolation is as unimaginative as a beheading. Are you going to suggest boiling me in a pot next?

[sapphyre]

[ it is true that he does enjoy a good excuse to set something on fire. if alina had a dragon at her disposal, she would too. ]

Isn't that something the witch is purported to do?

[peasant]

[ saints, he has a rude mouth. disputing that name-calling only invites him to further utilize it, wielded like a blade, and so: ]

Only for supper, and preferably with small children.

he shouldnt be allowed to talk to girls tbh

[sapphyre]

[ he definitely considered writing I happen to have a nephew I'm not particularly fond of... before starting over. ]

In any case, there's nothing banal about a death by dragon. Not many of those going around these days.

Though I can't imagine you'd provide much in terms of a meal.

CRYING aemond is That Kid who pulled every girl's hair as a child

[peasant]

Not many Sun Summoners going around these days, either.

[ just saying. ]

Though I imagine your dragon is a more well-mannered conversationalist than you are. And a better dinner partner.

[sapphyre]

You're welcome to try, being so resilient as you claim to be.

[peasant]

[ bitch try her. ]

I would, if I thought she wouldn't mind me wearing her distant kin as bracelets. Doesn't exactly make for a good first impression.

[sapphyre]

Dragons are intelligent creatures. While it is possible, it is more likely your nature towards her that would determine your fate.

Unfortunately, she's not very accommodating towards anyone but myself and sometimes her keepers. I can assure you it is more to do with her age than what you wield.
