Last minute deals and looking at tidesofwar

[edgar_roni]

How lucky you are, Mun. You've the freedom to up and go on trips at a moment's notice without informing anyone. I am green with envy.

And now that you're working on one application rather than two, there is no need for you to stall or lollygag, is there? I didn't think so, either.

Comments

[aensland]

Now now. You don't want to rush it either. Make every second count.

[ Shame is so overrated. ]

[edgar_roni]

...duly noted, my lady.

[aensland]

You're so cute.

[edgar_roni]

[He wonders if she's being honest or patronizing. In the end, he supposes it doesn't matter. Morrigan also has the unique ability to arouse him far beyond any woman he's ever met and scare him to near-death at the same time. It's why he doesn't say much around her.]

Y-Yes. Well...

[sabin_rene]

Your mun has plans for you, bro?

[edgar_roni]

Seems so. Any on your end?

[sabin_rene]

She's already reserved me and another muse into a new game.

[edgar_roni]

Is that so? And where would that be?

[sabin_rene]

I don't know, but it sounds like a weird place to be in.

[ethereal_earth]

Your mun is traveling? That sounds like fun.

[edgar_roni]

Mm. To just a few locales, here and there. A stop to the old hometown, a visit to some old friends and family...

[ethereal_earth]

I hope he has a wonderful time.

You'll finally be joining a game, then?

[edgar_roni]

Looks to be that way. Unless something scares him away at the last minute...

[ethereal_earth]

I hope not... I'll be heading to the same place, you know.

[edgar_roni]

So I've heard.

[And he almost makes a comment about how she can't seem to resist and blah blah blah, but stops at the last minute. For a number of reasons. Least of which, someone whose name he shall not mention might pop up and clock him one. So, he'll go with a simple and honest remark instead.]

Should be fun. I look forward to crossing paths with you there.

[ethereal_earth]

...We won't know each other. Or Locke, or Celes.

[edgar_roni]

Oh. We won't, hmm?

[He...didn't think about that. How unfortunate.]

That's mighty unsettling.

[ethereal_earth]

It really is.

[And it frightens her, more than she'll admit.]

Do you think... we'll still be able to meet?

[edgar_roni]

[Who really knew? Sensing her apprehension, he settles with something more...optimistic.]

I don't doubt that.

[ethereal_earth]

[She nods, trying to hide her concern with a small smile.]

I'm sure it will be okay. Right?

[edgar_roni]

Of course it will be.

[ethereal_earth]

[That seems to make her feel better.]

We survived the end of the world. There isn't much that can defeat us, after all.

[lockpick]

Envious, huh? Feeling cooped up?

[Big fancy castles are so overrated sometimes. ...Even if they're moving castles.]

[edgar_roni]

Like you wouldn't believe.

[He's not too proud to admit such a thing to a close friend. Even if said close friend will likely blab about it to everyone else they knew.]

[lockpick]

[He can be discrete if he wants to! ...He just chooses not to be.]

Sounds like you need an adventure.

[edgar_roni]

Preferably one that doesn't involve jails.

[lockpick]

[Hey now, what is that look for?]

Getting awfully picky for a beggar.

[edgar_roni]

[Really? You have to ask?]

I think I've spent enough time behind bars in those memes to last me a lifetime.

[lockpick]

[Enough to last a lifetime! And you accuse him of being a ne'er-do-well...]

I thought maybe you enjoyed it.

[No one would believe the King of Figaro got thrown behind bars. It's almost like a vacation.]

[edgar_roni]

[It was an exaggeration!]

Only when I was in the company of a certain lady, but that's another story for another day and audience. Fact of the matter is, I'm interested in a different type of adventure.

[lockpick]

["Lady" he says. A different kind of adventure than that, he says...]

Finally committed to a life of celibacy, then?

[edgar_roni]

[Have a snort. People'd sooner believe Sabin as a playboy.]

I said adventure. Not torture.

[lockpick]

[Yeah. Couldn't help it, though.]

No preferences beyond the prisons, then?

[edgar_roni]

None. Just...nothing too extreme.

apparently I get redundant at all hours

[lockpick]

[Pfft. Scared, Ed?]

We will handle his majesty with kid gloves, I promise.

[...well, he'll make an effort anyway. Maybe.]

I'm like that all hours of the day

[edgar_roni]

[Not scared. Just rightfully apprehensive!]

You better.

[lockpick]

[Come on. How bad could it be?]

Forgive me, I'd forgotten to take your highness's delicate constitution into account.

[edgar_roni]

[Pretty bad, actually.]

Delicate, he says. I'll have you know, I'm built rather sturdy. I can withstand just about anything thrown my way.

[andrarrrgynous]

Going on a trip at a moment's notice? I think I like the way your mun thinks.

[edgar_roni]

That's not a surprise.
