[very carefully looks him up and down.]

What do you find is your best feature?

What is a charming nonhuman lady like herself doing in a place like this

[personal profile] scramasax 2014-09-17 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
[/sheep noise in spirit.]

Er --

[What kind, exactly? What kind?]


I -- flatter myself it is loyalty. My lady. [All that with fake and dropping decisiveness, and well you asked for a feature and got a noncommittal maybe-quality!]
erythristic: (petal.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2014-09-17 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
[evidently vanity wasn't a flaw of his.]

Quite admirable, in this day and age. In this realm, even.

[personal profile] scramasax 2014-09-17 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Of course not - he finished off his mortal-ish existence looking like roadkill.]

Er - [A repressed huffing sound that was meant to be a self-deprecating laugh.] - I'd not know - about this day and age. But -- !

[And shakes his head lightly as if to fill in for some of that thought while he gets it back in order.]

-- Surely some of those in this realm are - merely displaced from where their loyalties would be. Normally. -- My lady.

[And he hasted it a little towards the end there. Drat it, what is it exactly that they're doing here, again?]
erythristic: (and i alone should know this)

[personal profile] erythristic 2014-09-18 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[assessing each other's suitability for romantic partnership, naturally! dear Anthony, what did you think this was?]

If this is mere displacement, I'd hate to see the outcome of complete severance, my lord. With hearts and minds divided on the borders of not just the Courts, but matters they carry from their own realms, tracking who and what one will stand by is as branching as a spider's web and just as liable to have you stuck in an unfortunate position.

[personal profile] scramasax 2014-09-18 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Not really happening, is what. And why is she calling him that oh right that's technically appropriate for this context.]

Uh -- a... [Long "a".] ...spider's web doesn't attach to nothing - however, and so they do, er - they do still have loyalty.

[Do not tell him he was insane for thinking that made sense.]

erythristic: (save.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2014-09-18 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[...good. he's at least trying to keep up. her lips twitch up into a smile.]

And who owns your loyalty now?

[personal profile] scramasax 2014-09-18 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Is this a good thing or a bad thing.]

-- Ah.

[It's not that he doesn't know how to answer because he certainly does.]

The -- ...The court I hailed from in life. Um. -- Always...

[Which, of course, doesn't exist now, and may be primary consciously but second at best on a whether-you-like-it-or-not scale... Shakes his head.] -- Nothing could change that.
erythristic: (flowing.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2014-09-18 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Not even if your Court here promised you what you've always dreamed of?

[personal profile] scramasax 2014-09-18 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
[He is honored to give this reply.]

-- I dream of little. My lady. Ah - certainly nothing that would -- be possible, any longer.

[Or if you're going to get pedantic about the wording used there a sort of huff of very tentative voiceless wry humor, for attempted conversationalism's sake - with a twitch of a sheepish smile to match.] Or that I would wish...!

[Yes, he is still trying to keep up.]
erythristic: (pride.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2014-09-18 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Do not leave aside the fact that we are in a realm of magic, my lord, and so the impossible may be yet within your grasp.

[he's doing well enough at keeping up, she had written "good conversationalist" on her card.]

[personal profile] scramasax 2014-09-18 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Another minute shake of his head. A bit of a smile's still there. Still twitchy. Still rueful.]

Years have passed and so has my court - my lady. Even where I'm from. Centuries -- even if I could make impossible wishes, I doubt that they'd be -- my place to make.

[As for being a good conversationalist he might not be talking about himself quite this much straight if he didn't feel somewhat as if this is a test.]
erythristic: (divine voyeur)

[personal profile] erythristic 2014-09-18 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
[it's not something she can understand. not wanting to wish because it should be something you attain on your own, she can empathize. not wanting to wish for you weren't sure of the consequences, she could appreciate. but it not being your place to wish for your heart's desire...]

So it's more that you won't.

[personal profile] scramasax 2014-09-18 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
It is that I couldn't.

[Which here means yes it is because he won't.] It-it'd surely interfere with the business of more people than me. More important -- far more important - things than me.

[He means that on a couple different scopes, and would try to skirt it with a "you wouldn't understand", as heck he isn't quite sure how he'd explain it, but ah-ha that's hardly proper! Instead, then:]

-- If you understand.
noirant: and you say everyone's got a price (temp - playing)

i'm sort of sorry

[personal profile] noirant 2014-09-17 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
Anthony.

[ anthony pay attention to me!!! !! ]

You never did tell me whether you had a sweetheart back home.

[ you know. home. where you lived. when you were alive. before you died. because you're dead. dEAD ]

IF I HAD BEEN DRINKING ANYTHING...

[personal profile] scramasax 2014-09-17 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Balks.

Flustered blinking.] I -- ?

I did not -- no, my lord. [As conversational as possible, which is stilted.

And indeed even if he'd had one it'd have surely been quite difficult to hold one down over several hundreds of years dead.]
noirant: you've got so much to prove (temp - genuine)

[personal profile] noirant 2014-09-17 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ he flashes a smile on full brights and leans across the table, casual as can be. his chin tip towards anthony, surveying. ]

Really? No, I can't imagine such a thing -- surely there had to be someone. A young lady that caught your eye...?

[ your eye. your bright red dead person eyes hanging out of your face. cmon anthony surely they have necromantic tinder. ]

A young man?

[ he doesn't judge just everything else ]

[personal profile] scramasax 2014-09-17 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
Nnh - ? [Clips a bit suddenly for such a sound that's the opposite of crisp - he straightens up a bit tighter at Felux's leaning, shoots his eyes off to a corner for a moment but no, that's rude, make eye contact - flicks it from a corner of his eye, manages an "uh - " and realizes that's not much better; shakes his head half to shake it off, and... refocuses.

That was within about three seconds.]

-- No. Not -- ? Not - no one, in particular, really.

[By which he means a couple by turns; he is an average human being. (And they did happen to be young ladies.) But eye-catching's all they did. And then he hit a point of ever after being in very limited company, so alas. (Is he going to be scanned for truthfulness, here?)]
