on going back to Scorched

[highwarlock]

You cannot be serious, mundane. You only dropped a month ago. Never mind the fact that I don't even want to go back, do you really thing you're going to have the time for this? You know from experience that I'm a very demanding muse to have. You're not going to get away with tossing me into that place and then scrambling to gather your activity at the end of the month.

No, I really don't care that Isabelle and Alec are going to be there. You know where else Isabelle and Alec are? At home, which is where I'd like to stay.

You're not even listening to me. I might as well be talking to a brick wall.

You know where you absolutely want to be? Anatole.

[highwarlock]

Because that worked out so well last time, didn't it?

[nolessthanseven]

It worked for a while. And then everyone disappeared. You know how boring things are when it's just me?

[highwarlock]

At least I'm not stealing all of your potential dates anymore.

[nolessthanseven]

Good thing Gellert never really saw anything in you anyway.

[highwarlock]

As far as you know.

[nolessthanseven]

Hey. Stay away from my latest ex.

[highwarlock]

I don't see the big deal if he's your ex.

[nolessthanseven]

He's only my ex because he left, okay? We never actually broke up.

[highwarlock]

Duly noted.

Has anything interesting happened since I left?

[nolessthanseven]

Everything went straight to hell, I nearly got my butt kicked by a bunch of monsters, and I got promoted.

The last one's the only thing you actually have to pay attention to.

[highwarlock]

I leave you alone for a month and you almost die. That's great to know.

[nolessthanseven]

It was totally because you left me alone for a month. You jerk.

[highwarlock]

Because I totally did it on purpose. [ Rolling his eyes. ]

[nolessthanseven]

Uh, yeah. You just said it yourself; you don't even want to come back. I'm hurt. Really, I am.

[highwarlock]

Would you want to?

[nolessthanseven]

If it were you or Alec left there alone? Yeah. Probably.

[highwarlock]

I suppose I have more of a sense of self-preservation.

[nolessthanseven]

Probably. Do I look like a girl who is self-preserving?

[highwarlock]

Not if your job has anything to say about it.

[nolessthanseven]

Exactly. I'm as self-preserving as it'll let me be, and no more.
