So maybe they do and they don't tell you. Anyway, maybe it isn't literally eat babies. It could mean other horrible habits maybe.
Well, I don't know what you consider horrible habits. How about we pay them a visit and you see for yourself?
Ugh, no thanks. Not unless I'm forced to.
Suitov: May I instead?
Weft: *dismay*
If you think you won't be missed too badly. :)
Suitov: How many units do I need with me before we can call it diplomacy? *cheerful*
Weft: You're busy here, remember, with all that... busy... stuff. Like doing service for the king and so on. And... and you had a portrait sitting, right?
*Suitov mutters darkly*
Portrait sitting... *shrugs*
So, what about that board Anke and Mutt were planning?
It is hard to come up with a doppelgänger plot that doesn't stray into the silly. Or, indeed, flirt with "too useful to let him die".
mhm. I guess I'll leave plotting that to authors.
I'm so glad to get a chance to talk to her without any weird misconceptions getting in the way. ...Sorry to derail the conversation here, it just needed to be said.
(Mutt: Well, chuck, I can tell you it's playing merry hell with our authorial "IC/OOC knowledge separate" muscles.)
Question being, for how long...
Well, once I explain what we're really like, you'll approve of my employers. Nobody could know them properly and dislike them. It's just that people wilfully misunderstand or spread lies sometimes, and I don't think you're like that.
Well, Nico, are you suitably reassured?
*purr, blink, blink*
I must say, though it be showing disloyalty to a faithful friend, I prefer your attitude to his.
Thank you.
I am not surprised.
Not surprised at my treachery! Flatterer...
^_^
It's not treachery, it's gravitying to someone with shared delusions.
Stop calling me a faithful friend before I hit you.
Yeah, call him faithful would-be assassin instead?
Dear, faithful nemesis.
Weft: ... Better. But then, what's Nico?
