I don't want to build up a resistance.

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thankyouverymooch]

You can always just quest for different books then. But it pleases me you're learning my language.

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thinkoutsidethebox]

I said I would, didn't I?

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thankyouverymooch]

If we're talking honestly, I didn't expect you to. I thought my offer would just be enough to stroke your ego.

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thinkoutsidethebox]

You can't make an offer to me and not expect me to take it seriously. Just because I'm learning the language doesn't mean I'm going to come to Xing and work for you, but I'm going to prepare for every possibility.

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thankyouverymooch]

So I'm Plan B? ...Maybe C or D, knowing you.

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thinkoutsidethebox]

...I don't give letters to my plans. I don't have all the information yet, anyway. I'll make a decision when the time comes. Learning your language and such is all part of gathering information.

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thankyouverymooch]

I don't mind not being your first priority. It's still if you have nothing better to do, anyway.

That aside, are you feeling better?

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thinkoutsidethebox]

...Did you only make the offer to stroke my ego and try to make me feel better??

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thankyouverymooch]

Do I look like the type to you? I like you, but I don't care for you that much, Erika.

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thinkoutsidethebox]

...Hmph. Good. I'd be pretty annoyed if you made me with an offer with no plans to follow through on it just because you thought it would cheer me up.

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thankyouverymooch]

[ I TOTALLY DIDN'T WANT TO CHEER YOU UP SHUT UP!!!! ]

Who'd care about it? I was just making small conversation anyway.

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[GOOD BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO BE CHEERED UP ANYWAY!!]

...Regardless, I'm doing well enough.

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thankyouverymooch]

What a good news. I'm doing quite well myself.

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Are you? Have you been subject to many murder attempts since your return?

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thankyouverymooch]

A few. But I've got a rather capable bodyguard, no one even got close.

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Is that so...

[sounds a little disappointed]

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thankyouverymooch]

[ laughing ]

Sorry to disappoint you, but I've got capable people working for me.

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Capable people who won't betray you?

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thankyouverymooch]

It must be difficult for you to imagine something like that.

My bodyguard comes from a family that has served mine for generations. Her loyalty isn't so fickle.

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Hmph. I suppose that type does exist. The loyal retainer.

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thankyouverymooch]

She wouldn't like you, if she met you. She didn't like Greed either.

Well, somewhat.

Re: Day 287ish sometime

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Somewhat?
