On suffering in ways only he knows how...

[edgar_roni]

Mun,

For once, can things go according to plan? And by that I mean the way I'd like them to? Perhaps it is a bit selfish of me to ask but you have to consider: I don't ask much of you to begin with and we've a good rapport. There's no need for you to conspire with other muns in that way, you know. I'm starting to feel belittled.

[Poor Edgar. Just can't catch a break, huh?]

Well, I thought it was funny.

[edgar_roni]

That's no surprise there.

[Snorting indignantly, he folds his arms and fights back a sneer.]

I'm noticing you take great pleasure in putting an end to my personal joy.

[Not that he was in much of a joyous mood by the time Locke showed up, but still. Things had a snowball's chance to turn around before then. He's sure of it!]

[lockpick]

[Yeeah, sure. He knows what you're thinking. Over his dead body, bro.]

What greater joy could there be for a host than ensuring the comfort of his guests?

[edgar_roni]

Perhaps not having to make room in his own bed for said guests.

[Call him crazy, but didn't he give you access to a large suite, food, and an obscene amount of amenities? Honestly.]

[lockpick]

Don't be so dramatic. There was plenty of room.

[You didn't seem to mind when Terra and Celes did it. You're just mad because Locke got between you and the girls.]

A gentleman would have slept on the floor, if needed.

[edgar_roni]

[That's entirely beside the point!]

There was plenty of room, as you say, so there really lay no reason for a king to sleep on the floor in his own chamber. Especially with how cold it was...

[lockpick]

[Exactly. So it could have been worse, quit your whining.]

And yet you still insist on making yourself a martyr.

[Something you're not telling him, Edgar?]

[edgar_roni]

[Yes, you ruined everything!]

If that's how you choose to view it...

[lockpick]

[The only time your plans will come to fruition in your bedroom is in your dreams, Edgar.]

I admit, I do sleep sounder when I know there's a barrier between your wandering hands and the unsuspecting women in the room...

[edgar_roni]

...

[Oh, you son of a--]

So, you're admitting you sleep more comfortably wedged in between myself and Celes...

[And his hands were nowhere near them. He was a perfect gentleman!]

...I would have never suspected.

[lockpick]

[Lets purposefully misinterpret that, shall we?]

That wasn't an invitation.

[Just try and grope him, Edgar, see that happens. Hope you're not attached to your teeth.]

[edgar_roni]

[Don't worry -- he'd rather take an acid bath.]

That wasn't expressed interest.

[lockpick]

[He loves you too.]

I'd be offended if I wasn't so relieved.

[edgar_roni]

Or sorely disappointed, I bet.

[Right back atcha.]

[lockpick]

You never were much good at gambling.

[Need those double headed coins and all. Just don't bet the crown on that, or you'll lose it.]

[aria_di_celes]

And what did this 'plan' of yours consist of?

[Not that she didn't know already.]

[edgar_roni]

... That was a figure of speech. I didn't have any plans.

[Said plans are exactly what she thinks they are. He'll never admit it, of course.]

[aria_di_celes]

Mm hmm.

[Yeah sure, she doesn't believe you.]

So what's the problem then?

[edgar_roni]

Ah, I didn't...sleep comfortably?

[In so many different ways, you don't even know.]

[aria_di_celes]

[Oh she can guess.]

That's a shame. Were you feeling restless?

[edgar_roni]

You can say that...

[aria_di_celes]

That's too bad. I think Locke, Terra, and myself slept well.

[Maybe they'll have to invade your bed again.]

[edgar_roni]

At least it wasn't a complete disaster.

[NO.]

[sabin_rene]

I don't think you're the type to be belittled, bro.

[edgar_roni]

[You had to have been there almost escapes him but, really, no. It's a good thing Sabin wasn't there.]

Suffer as much as I have under my mun and anyone can feel belittled.

[sabin_rene]

...Sounds like you have quite the mun.

[ethereal_earth]

...I'm sorry, Edgar.

[edgar_roni]

You've done nothing to apologize for, Terra.

[ethereal_earth]

This was partially my mun's fault.

And I'd... I'd never do what I did. Not normally.

[She fidgets awkwardly.]
