*rolls eyes* You see... then it wouldn't be fun to watch 'em try to squirm out of it without damaging themselves any further, which would so defeat the object.

I thought you might.

*starts flipping a knife overhand, eyes still on Zashta*

I look forward to meeting you in canon. Oh, and Shai, too.

Well, I hope we'd at least have a language in common.

Maybe.

Yeah, Shai and you could nerd out about weaving. :D

[said to Weft, in case that wasn't obvious]

My first language is understood everywhere.

Namely, violence.

Y'know, you're starting to sound a bit Edward Cullen-ish here, Weft.

"Oh, I'm so dreadful and brutal and terrible, why aren't you all scared of me, oh! oh!"

I didn't realise you spent your evenings reading teenage vampire romances, Mr. Felix sir.

Perhaps it should be YOU dating Jaina.

Methinks thou dost protest too much.

After all, you understood what I was on about right away. Perhaps it is you who pines away into the night, reading Stephenie Meyer from the top of a stack of Anne Rice and Laurell Hamilton, dreaming of saving Jaina from that one vampire too many and sweeping her away.

Oh, what would Suitov say. The treachery, the treachery.

*looks up from a beaker of something viscous, seething and violently blue*

Who, who and who? Edward what? What vampires?

*grins widely*

Weft here (this with a open-armed slap on the back, out of the blue, sending Weft staggering and twitching towards sharp stabby things) stays up late at night when prayers are over reading books about girley-boy vampires and dreaming of your girlfriend. It's all pretty horrible really.

Weft, you've taken up reading! Splendid. I'd stick to non-fiction myself, of course, but that's your choice.

Felix, my man, speaking of vampires, I've had some thoughts... [The talk takes a sharp turn for the incomprehensible.]

Wfffssss...

....?

*stunned and dazed*

Ooh, speechless Weft! Tuck him into a straightjacket and it's almost like making him into a civil creature.

*shiver, twitch* Not you too. Keep away, pervert!

...galvanised ionic dimensional quadrature, then... ah, Jaina! How delightful to see you -- and so glad you two are finally getting along. How was Shicahgo?

PUSH HIM IN
PUSH HIM IN
PUSH HIM IN
PUSH HIM IN

Does "every-freakin-one" include Suitov?

I should not imagine it wise to surprise Weft from behind.

It might be marginally less difficult than surprising him from the front?
