when OCs attack

[ladiesdont]

Finally decided to let me out, have you? It's about time.

I certainly do have demands I wish to make, but what are your chances of following through on them, hm? I suspect slim, at best. So what would the point be? There are better things to waste my breath on, if I simply must.

You are entirely boring. Find me something interesting to do. Chop chop.

Do you really think that's going to get you what you want?

[ladiesdont]

A girl can dream.

[virginprice]

It's always wise to temper your dreams with reality.

[ladiesdont]

[Are you going to insist on being equally boring?] That is not what that turn of phrase means.

[virginprice]

[He's not working right now. He's not obliged to be entertaining to anyone but himself.] I know that. What would you like to do, then?

[ladiesdont]

[And Sariah's not obliged to deal with you.] Have I not given orders already? Something interesting. She knows what I mean.

[virginprice]

Well, I wasn't asking for her sake. I was curious. [He shrugs, not offended by her attitude.]

[ladiesdont]

I struggle to have a care for your curiosity when you can hardly comprehend classic idioms.

[virginprice]

Perhaps it is more a difference in culture than in level of comprehension. Or perhaps I did comprehend it and chose to ignore it.

[ladiesdont]

If it's a difference in culture, the answer to your question would likely be of little use to you, and if you chose to ignore it, you were being deliberately difficult.

[virginprice]

All knowledge is worth having- I could learn of your culture through you.

[ladiesdont]

[Hm. That's...actually slightly interesting.]

We haven't been introduced. Sariah Collins.

[virginprice]

Alcuin no Delaunay. It is a pleasure.

[ladiesdont]

The pleasure is mine. What sort of culture do you come from?

[virginprice]

I come from Terre d'Ange. The guiding precept of our land is 'love as thou wilt'- I think that can tell you a great deal about it.

[ladiesdont]

How interesting. Many cultures could learn a thing or two from that. [Not hers, obviously.]

[virginprice]

They do not tend to think so, but they could. They think it makes us weak.
