let's be optimistic @ scelerata

Another place, more faces I could care less about. I think I actually miss that wasteland from before; at least Gabriel was there to entertain me. And, of course, there was dear Cassie, who, let's face it, I wasn't going to talk to again for a very long time.

You have poor timing, honey, I'll have you know. But, well, I suppose it's not your fault. You're only human.

Ah, yes, by the way, since you think it would be just bloody hilarious to see me speak in another language: .لا تقلق عزيزتي

That depends on the alternative in question.

[delightme]

I'll make sure to spring it on you when you least expect it.

[trenchcoatedly]

I hope I don't smite you by accident. I find it hard to believe you'd deserve it.

[delightme]

I'm a mite bit stronger than you believe. I doubt you'd be able to smite me by accident. [although you did. on purpose.]

[trenchcoatedly]

Perhaps.

[delightme]

I hear a challenge somewhere in there.

[trenchcoatedly]

I think you're reading too deeply into things.

[delightme]

Lighten up, Cassie. It's in jest.

[trenchcoatedly]

I just think it's a strange you think I couldn't accidentally smite you if I was startled.

[delightme]

I'm sure you could, if you really wanted to. I think you like having power over me.

[trenchcoatedly]

What gives you that idea?

[delightme]

Just a feeling.

[trenchcoatedly]

You shouldn't go on such suspicions without any evidence.

[delightme]

It makes things interesting. After all, if I didn't take a little leap once in a while, I doubt I would have immediately jumped to help you against Raphael.

[trenchcoatedly]

You had evidence, in knowing both myself and Raphael very well.

[delightme]

My evidence was you were losing and Raphael was well on his way to jump starting another Apocalypse. Not a very good set of cards to bet your hand on.

What propelled me into action was the fact that you're my dearest friend. That I just had a feeling.

[trenchcoatedly]

Thank you.

[delightme]

Of course. Despite your hair-brained schemes, I will always jump to your aid.

[trenchcoatedly]

Our Father spoiled me when He made you.

[delightme]

I think you deserved to be spoiled a little, considering what you've been through.

[trenchcoatedly]

By my own hand?

[delightme]

Who's doing it was doesn't matter. It still happened.

[trenchcoatedly]

Because of me.

[delightme]

Guilt isn't a good look on you.

[trenchcoatedly]

How could I feel any other way, knowing what I've done?
