On the subject of teasing.

[illbebach]

Yes, it is fun isn't it? Creating this - dare I say - Wilde goose chase, riddling him in circles. I like a woman who can spin a tale, how satisfying that you should already know that.

Oh dear, did I just give a hint away? Whoopsie.

You're baiting him. We're baiting him. I think I might be enjoying this quite deeply.

Leave Sherlock alone.

[alldeduction]

Clever. Clever.

I shouldn't have expected any less.

And I should have guessed. Did guess, but with no data... Perhaps I should have trusted her instincts.

[illbebach]

What a compelling argument.

[illbebach]

Well, well. I suppose I owe you congratulations, but that would be a rather predictable thing to give, wouldn't it?

As long as it was fun.

[does_count]

It isn't funny.

[illbebach]

Dear, dear -- well, you. I'm not really trying to amuse you, now am I?

[daughters_of_janus]

Hee hee~ Enemies until the end of your lives, you two are just going to be tons of fun, kitten.

[illbebach]

Aren't you precious to say so. A man needs his diversion.

[does_count]

[No. She doesn't matter at all to him, does she?]

It won't be funny for him either, in the end.

[daughters_of_janus]

Of course, and I'm not above teasing the great detective either. I wonder, do you share his want to know everything?

[illbebach]

[No more than a mouse does to a cat.]

What certainty, what courage you speak with. Is this the set up, or the punchline?

[illbebach]

You're implying I don't already know everything.

[daughters_of_janus]

Oh really? Then what is a Malkavian?

[does_count]

It isn't anything. I'm not- [like you and Sherlock. She doesn't understand these games and she doesn't want to. She just doesn't want her friend to get hurt.]

[illbebach]

You act as if I have time to know what some obscure clan of vampire in some role-playing game is. That's silly, I don't have time for that.

[illbebach]

Not going to finish that sentence? [Softly:] Or not good enough to play with the big boys?

[daughters_of_janus]

Did you use your mun for that? It's so precious to see you act so much better than everyone.

[Big grin, and say hello to very prominent fangs, perhaps there was a reason she knew what Malkavians were.]

[does_count]

[She physically recoils, drawing away. She'd really liked that gentleness "Jim from IT" had. It's horrible seeing it now.] I don't want to play.

[illbebach]

I can be a man of many roles.

[phobic]

Oh, bravo. Really.

Someone has to put him in his place.

[daughters_of_janus]

But at some point you have to realize the emperor isn't wearing any clothes or don't, it'd be interesting to see your mind crack.

[illbebach]

[He leans forward, keeping his feet still planted on the floor. But he leans, closing some of the distance created between them. And he grins.]

Molly.

Since when have I ever given you a choice?

[illbebach]

And you're the nutcracker, are you?

[illbebach]

Oh you.

[daughters_of_janus]

Only if you want me to be, kitten.
