Chatlog 004 ☣ Nothin' lasts forever, but I will always remember

[irreverence]

So are we just not going to talk about the fact that this place is suddenly a lot less dangerous?

[Asagi sighs, and shrugs, leaning back in her chair as she always is.]

Alright then, let's talk about something else.

[She kicks her feet down and leans forward, chin on her hands, feigning attentiveness.]

Tell me then- what's your good end for the tower? What do you boys and girls out there hope winds up happening when the clock hits zero on our time here?

Come on.

Always did love a good fairytale.

Man, fae are dicks. You'd think people would get that most faerie tales are cautionary, one way or another.

[She squeezes his shoulder and shrugs.]

But whatever. Here's hoping they can't leave that floor, right?

[A raise of an eyebrow.]

Should I hum us a waltz?

[puppy_lancer]

Yeah, here's hoping.

[His face lights up as he hears her offer.]

Sure. And I bet it'll sound better than anything that can be played on an instrument.

[irreverence]

Hah.

[She settles into position and begins to hum a certain waltz... though before long, she's actually singing quietly as she lets Lancer lead the waltz.]

[puppy_lancer]

[Everything Lancer knows about waltzing, he learned from the floor with the masquerade. His waltz is a little clumsy, but at least he doesn't step on her feet much.]

[As they twirl around, he starts humming alongside her.]

Nice song. Where'd you learn it?

[irreverence]

[She appreciates that much- her own waltz isn't spectacular, but there's no danger of them tripping over each other, at least.]

An old movie, actually.

[She leans up a bit, kissing his cheek.]

Never thought I'd have reason to sing it though.

[puppy_lancer]

Must've been a good movie. We should watch it sometime.

[He bends down to kiss her forehead.]

I'll try to give you more opportunities to sing that from now on. And other songs too.

[irreverence]

Eh, it was alright.

[She rolls her eyes a little at him.]

I'm not much of a singer you know. But if you really want, I guess I can oblige.

[puppy_lancer]

I'd definitely like to hear more. And if you get tired of singing, I could always take a turn. Though, I don't know how to sing any waltzes.

[irreverence]

...well, I guess I don't mind.

[She shrugs and leans closer.]

Just... don't go announcing that kinda stuff to everyone. Waltzes aren't necessary though.

[puppy_lancer]

It'll be our special secret. I promise.

[irreverence]

Somehow, I don't think it'll be a hard secret to keep.

[puppy_lancer]

[He laughs.]

What, do you think nobody would believe you can sing?

[irreverence]

Well, that and I doubt my singing prowess is going to be a subject that comes up in conversation.

[puppy_lancer]

Only if anyone asks who has the best voice in the entire Tower.

[irreverence]

I doubt that's me, but I guess being a biased party, you'd disagree.

[A put-upon sigh, and when she picks up her hum, it's a different tune.]

[puppy_lancer]

[Once again, he joins her in humming.]

Ooh, where's that one from? It might be even better than the last one!

[irreverence]

Another movie.

[Shhhh, Disney movies are great to watch when you need background noise, ok?]

You like it that much?

[puppy_lancer]

Of course I do. You made it sound so beautiful.

[Back in his day, the only background noise he has was the noise of rowdy parties.]

[irreverence]

See, now you're just flattering me, puppy.

[She squeezes his shoulder with a chicle, shaking her head. ]

But maybe if you ask nice enough, I'll sing for you more often...

[puppy_lancer]

Oh? And how nice is nice enough?

[He slides the hand on her waist up her back.]

[irreverence]

I'm sure you can come up with a few ideas.

[A shiver, and she presses just a little bit closer.]

Can't go giving you all the answers now- where would be the fun in that, right?

fade to black in a few more tags?

[puppy_lancer]

Guess I'll have to get the answers out of you. One by one.

[He bends down to give her another kiss on her forehead.]

sure

[irreverence]

Is that right?

[She rolls her eyes at him a little, brows rising in challenge.]

You sound pretty confident that you can manage...

[puppy_lancer]

[His eyes seem to light up.]

You know how stubborn I am.

[irreverence]

Well, you do have that going for you...

[She leans up and kisses his cheek.]

I'm sure you'll do fine.
