004 ❀ Invisible words explode with scorn

[floreatnoctem]

[Hey there tower- you know this face? She doesn't make it a point to use the network often, but when she does, it's usually for a good reason. Today's reason seems to be making announcements, settled in the library with tea beside her and her sketchbook in hand as ever.]

Strega- we will have breakfast tomorrow. All of us. Please don't make me have to come and bring you down. It would assuredly not be worth the trouble.

[Don't make her do it boys. It'll be ugly. Or at the very least, unpleasant.]

Willow- I have more things ready for you, if you would care to come try them on. I feel I may need to request a few more types of fabric from the tower if I am to continue, however. I would like to get the rest of these done properly or not at all.

[Because so many projects, so little of the necessary fabric to use- but half-assing things isn't her style.]

There is one more matter I'd care to bring up, if I may. Her Imperious Condescension, if I might request your attention a moment.

[She picks up her tea then, fingers curling delicately around the cup. It's not an actual request of course, because she takes another sip and continues on regardless-]

It has come to my attention that you have taken issue with the fact that one of your subjects is in a moirallegiance with me. While I am certain you have nothing but his best interests at heart- [she's absolutely sure of the opposite, actually]- I feel I must implore you to kindly mind your own quadrants. Presuming of course, there are any more of your subjects here loyal or willing enough to enter into them with you. If not, perhaps you should look into finding a quadrant-mate outside of the limited number of your people- it seems to be working out just fine for some of the rest of them, after all.

[She takes another sip of her tea, then sets it aside and reaches forward toward the console.]

Ah- and if you should hurt him again like you did before, I believe you will find that not everyone is quite so willing to let you do as you please, Highness.

[Chidori out, yo.]

[Signless swallows hard. He's sure Dualscar hates him, or at least did until today. And Signless still isn't sure he's capable of the kind of relationship that they really should have. Some aspects he can grasp - the idea of a rivalry, making one another stronger, pushing each other. But real hatred? He pities Dualscar too much, quite frankly, for his loneliness and the way society has treated him.

So there's compassion there in his crimson eyes, as well as worry, and guilt.]

Just...me. In regards to me.

[and for dualscar, real hatred he can do. it's the rivalry aspect that's lost on him, what with the condesce making it clear she no longer wants anything to do with him. there was nothing to fight over, acceptance of the others' equality or not. and it's precisely that that causes him to actually think on answer. he studies signless' eyes for a moment longer, unsure of what he should even be looking for, then drops it.



he shakes his head.]

[Signless nods, and sags a little, frankly a bit relieved. He just wasn't sure if a kismessitude between them would work, and he already has a matesprit and a moirail.

He takes Dualscar's cheeks in his hands and gently, gently kisses him on the forehead]
