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.

[bedsidemanners]

And is it appreciated?

[cagedsanctuary]

What a question. I have never appreciated to be slaved to someone's whims.

[bedsidemanners]

Of course not.

[cagedsanctuary]

I don't think you do either, Raphael.
Although your rebellious streak takes a while to spark.

[bedsidemanners]

Oh, only if they don't coincide with mine. I'm generally more interested in self-preservation than I ever am rebelling.

[cagedsanctuary]

Ah. The Prime Minister domesticated you well.

[bedsidemanners]

No. But you have to believe in an alternative before you bother with an uprising.

[cagedsanctuary]

I am not Michael. You don't need to school me in strategy.

[bedsidemanners]

I would never presume to.

[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.

[soulprotector]

Is that really all you're worried about?

[bedsidemanners]

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