voicetesting this big ol bag of crazy and evil

[nicodemus]

It would seem that we are at an impasse. You seem to have this notion, this idea, that I would go along willingly with any sort of plans you thus have for me. [ A dark, smooth, amused laugh. ]

And what, pray tell, would I have to gain from such an offer, my dear girl? Nothing that I cannot obtain myself in some fashion, correct? And you would gain amusement for you own benefit, no doubt. I sincerely doubt it is in your best interests to play this little game with me. There are certain things, certain fires, one should not touch. You would do well to heed that. Or perhaps you would learn better by example. That is one of the finer methods of teaching, after all.

[ And Nicodemus sure would love to teach that lecture, no doubt. ]

Now this is a face I didn't expect to see. [Lasciel looks deeply, deeply amused.]

Hello, brother.

[nicodemus]

Lasciel. [ He wasn't expecting to see you. Though he doesn't look the least bit surprised. He's actually quite amused too. There was always someone to take up the coin, after all. ] I was made aware of your current whereabouts by Dresden.

[ Which is to say that he learned you were not inside Harry Dresden's mind when the opportunity presented itself. That was a slight folly on his end. He doesn't look too ruffled, outwardly. Though he is looking at you in an oddly fixed gaze. ]

"You."

[nicodemus]

Dresden. [ He doesn't look happy to see you at all. Also Anduriel is just...gonna put himself between you two. Extra precaution and all that. ]

[quicktoanger]

"I'd say I'm happy to see you, but that rope isn't tight enough for my tastes."

[nicodemus]

[ Just have a flare of anger in those dark eyes, Harry. But he looks relatively at ease, despite the threat. ]

I was beginning to wonder if you had lost, that insane sense of humor in the face of dangerous adversaries. That temper of yours has yet to abate either. Somethings will never change. [ A low hissed murmur from the shadow as it wavers back and forth between the two of them. ]

My quarrel is not with you, Dresden. [ For now at least. He waves the other off with a smooth gesture of his hand. You can just leave now though. Because, you know, unless you want him to take out some of his anger on you that'll be cool. ]

[quicktoanger]

"Well, gee, that's funny, because my quarrel is sure as hell with you."

[callmeivy]

Nicodemus Archleone. I see you.
