Death generally is. It doesn't get better the more times it happens.

[boutant]

At least they'll have a very hard time taking your Shard, I guess?

[withbite]

They might have a hard time with me ripping their head off as well. Not like I plan to make it a cakewalk for them. Unless they can find a way to remove it that doesn't involve ripping my chest open. Been there, done that.

[boutant]

I think you just have to die in general -- or get so close that it tricks the shard into coming out. Something like that. Not pleasant either way.

[withbite]

I die plenty of times. Nothing's come creeping out of my chest from it. I'm not really interested in seeing just how close to death I have to get to 'trick it'.

[boutant]

I think it's supposed to be like- permanently die. And in this world.

[withbite]

Yeah, I'm not lining up for testing on that one.

[He'd had enough testing after Augustine, thank you. He had another drink, offering it to her again.]

Besides, there are way more fun things to do than to be impaled and ripped apart.

[boutant]

[ She takes it, sips. ]

No, I definitely agree with you there.

[ She's actually sort of feeling a bit sorry for him; sounds like he's been "killed" a lot. ]

[withbite]

[Woe is his life, Ari. He is so put upon. Boohoo.]

Well, finally. I wonder what else I can get you to agree to...

[boutant]

That the food's good.

[ She's not sleeping with you, Damon. ]

[withbite]

[Never say never, Ariadne.]

What about the company?

[boutant]

The company... isn't bad.

[withbite]

Just because we're on the big bad naughties side doesn't mean it'll hurt you to say something nice. Go on. Try it.

[boutant]

I can say nice things. [ eyeroll. ] But I wouldn't want to inflate your ego.

[withbite]

My ego isn't what you have to worry about inflating.

[WINK]

[boutant]

[ w o w ]

And this is why the company is only okay.

[withbite]

You say that now, but that's just because you haven't gotten a good taste of my not-ego. Yet.

[boutant]

I'm pretty okay with that.

[withbite]

We'll see. There wasn't much to do the last time I was here. Maybe you'll find yourself curious enough to try. Knock first. I might have prior... arrangements.

[boutant]

You weren't here for very long, last time. Like- what, a month and a half?

[withbite]

Close to that. There was a fight. I actually got fed for once. Then I went home.

[boutant]

When we went to get the Jabberwork Tooth. [ She remembers seeing him before, at least, and not seeing him afterward. ] That was months ago.

[withbite]

Yeah, well, like I said, not a lot to do around here. And before you start breaking out the violins about court politics, I mean something fun. Something I can sink my teeth into.

[boutant]

Go flirt with the mermaids on the coast. [ She'd suggest the brothels, but she is not setting Damon on the brothels. ]

[withbite]

Is there some kind of allusion here towards women and fish, because that's kind of rude against your own gender, Ari.

[He'll find them on his own.]

Though, I do love sushi...
