not homeless, but musing

[bedsidemanners]

My dear, unfortunately, I can adjust to any circumstances, though as long as I've been in your hands, I've usually ended up in the same ones. And as long as a few pretty girls are involved, I don't care-- but that hasn't been the case lately. And I doubt if it's due to a sudden attack of conscience on my part at this late date.

Honestly, my needs are a bit banal. Give me something or someone to occupy my time with, and I'll be satisfied enough wherever I am, trust me. I'm much more easily pleased when I'm not running low on patients.

You sound restless, Chief of Virtues.
Where is your companion?

[bedsidemanners]

I'm never restless. Well, the latest one was a few nights ago. I'm afraid I never keep track afterward.

[cagedsanctuary]

Your real companion, healer.

[ Whether is Michael or that woman who works for him. ]

[bedsidemanners]

I've hardly seen my lieutenant in years, if that was who you were referencing. Sara's another story.

[cagedsanctuary]

Mm. Sara Mudou loves another.

[bedsidemanners]

That might eventually be up for debate.

[cagedsanctuary]

She's not someone who would be fickle about her affection.

[bedsidemanners]

I have time. I assume you've kept busy, Alexiel.

[cagedsanctuary]

Time doesn't make a single difference when someone loves deeply, Chief of Virtue. [You wouldn't know about it.]
No. My puppeteer allowed my idleness and rest.

[beareroflight]

Not enough patients? Must be quite boring.

[bedsidemanners]

It just requires inventiveness on my part.

[beareroflight]

No longer falling for your old charms?

[bedsidemanners]

I didn't realize you were so invested in my sex life, Kira. Keeping track of Alexiel must be duller than I imagined.

[beareroflight]

Well she's another thing entirely I'm afraid. [Chuckles] Saying 'no' is getting harder.

[bedsidemanners]

It only took you a few thousand years. I'd be impressed by the tenacity if it weren't so pathetic.

[beareroflight]

What can I say, I'm not the type to easily fall for such lowly beings.. Though I do make it a habit to indulge their carnal habits.

[bedsidemanners]

I'm afraid I don't follow.

[soulprotector]

Is that really all you're worried about?

[bedsidemanners]

It's all I'm expected to be worried about.

[soulprotector]

Do you ever get tired of giving into everyone's expectations of you like that?

[bedsidemanners]

Only when it doesn't work to my advantage.

I haven't seen you lately, Sara-chan. How are things?

[soulprotector]

Raphy! I know you don't really mean that.

Has it really been that long? Things are, well, you know. As good as they can be, when you think about our situation. What about you?

[bedsidemanners]

Of course I do.

Good. [It's not that comforting, really, but he'll take it, exhaling.] I'm doing well enough under the circumstances. I found a store that still carries cigarettes.

[soulprotector]

I should visit you more. I never meant to worry you. [she wrinkles her nose] The place we're in now almost makes me miss Heaven, and I didn't think anything could do that.

[bedsidemanners]

I'd like that. I'm afraid my apartment isn't half as glamorous as my house in Lakia, but... I haven't seen your place yet, have I?

I didn't realize it was so hard on you. You've been brave.
