Oh my! I hope I didn't offend you or anything.

Now why don't you put the comic book down like a good girl and watch what a real woman can do?

We of the Black Dream have had years to perfect our act, including ways to keep our pasts a secret from outsiders. You're not going to find any more answers in there. What you need is some real experience.

So. Care to have some fun?

Or are you afraid you might enjoy playing with me a little too much?

That's some awfully high praise coming from you.

[Chocolate eclairs. Now we're talking business.]

So tell me about these idiots of yours. Are you eavesdropping on them, too?

[bloodyashes]

[Hey, maybe he'll even throw in some fried rice to sweeten the deal.]

It's hardly high praise when most of them can't even do their own laundry.

[That's his way of saying "thank you for being competent," by the way.]

[stealstheshow]

[If you add a new hat, you've got yourself a deal.]

You poor thing. Sounds like you've got yourself mixed in with a bunch of spoiled young nobles, Asch.

[Noir wouldn't have survived this long if she wasn't. It's not as if she deserves thanks for saving her own neck and the necks of a few other unfortunate souls.]

[bloodyashes]

Unfortunately, that's pretty much the case.

[What do you need a new hat for? Your current one is great. Very distinctive.]

More unfortunately, I'm stuck with them.

[Hey, it means one less neck for him to save, so he's allowed to be grateful.]

[stealstheshow]

Hmm~

[All ladies like getting new accessories every once in a while. Bigger hat. With lots of feathers. Something like that should provide plenty of room for storing smoke bombs and other items from her bag of tricks.]

In my experience there are always methods for dumping extra baggage...unless, of course, you feel you have an obligation to them.

[bloodyashes]

The one's my roommate.

[And he can't exactly move out at the moment. The muns might adore his rooming situation in Exsilium, but clearly someone disagrees.]

Then again, he'd probably starve without me around anyway.

[stealstheshow]

[Noir grins. It sure sounds to her as if Little Lord Asch doesn't want his poor little roommate to go hungry.]

Like I said.
