voicetesting, muse is reluctant

[lucanus]

Surely you knew beforehand that you should not expect to hear much from me, woman. I won't have you send me to one of these "games" either.

....

I have nothing more to say to you, away from me.

[giancarlo]

'Away from me'? A little old-fashioned there.

[lucanus]

... From what I have gathered so far, the world I come from is by no means "modern" relative to here. So yes, I suppose by that logic I would be old-fashioned.

[giancarlo]

I'm not judging you or anything. ..but I hear 'away from me' and I lose it.

[lucanus]

I fail to see how this concerns me. I honestly cannot be bothered to care that you find the way I speak amusing.

[giancarlo]

Oi. You don't have to be an asshole about it.

[reactivate]

Lon'qu?

[lucanus]

... Olivia.


Is there something you need from me?

[reactivate]

I- [Well, she's concerned about him, but she isn't sure how to express that.] No, I'm fine, thank you.

I'll let you be if you want to be alone. I hope your mundane is kind to you, though. You deserve at least that much.

[lucanus]

It's... alright. Your concern is appreciated.

She seems nice enough, save for some rather odd inclinations to make things needlessly upsetting.

[killerrabbit]

It seems to me that while we may wish otherwise, it is ultimately the will of the mundane that decides for us what we will or won't do.

If she wishes to send you somewhere, we have little say to the contrary.

[Why yes, that is a samurai bunny talking to him.]

[lucanus]

[He'd find her more odd but she doesn't look that different from the taguels so it's not all the surprising.]

... I see.

It would seem in that case it would be wise to curry their favor if at all possible, in order to escape any malicious intent they may have.

[killerrabbit]

[Funny, someone else called her a Taguel not long ago, too.]

...I'm not sure if bribery would be overly effective, all things considered.

[lucanus]

I was not intending to try. Her currency is different from mine in any case. I simply meant perhaps I should consider being more.... couteous towards her.

[He does not seem too wild about this idea.]

[dextrose]

Yeah. You tell her, Mr. Super Ladytalker.

[ the sincerity in this statement is astounding. as is his excitement.

( not really, on both counts. ) ]

[lucanus]

I don't see how my issues are any of your business or how they apply here.

[No one asked for your opinion, Gaius.]

[dextrose]

[ who in their right mind would? ]

First part: everything within earshot's my business. Kinda. Second part: look, master behind your strings. I'd say it's applying pretty hard. [ . . . ] How's that going for you, by the way?

[lucanus]

I can talk to women just fine if I have to, as long as they keep their distance.

[Most of the time anyway.]

[mopey]

I'm surprised you're still able to talk, considering she's female. Been working on that, have we?

[lucanus]

... You are exaggerating the severity of my condition.

[As long as he doesn't have to stand near them.]

[mopey]

If by 'exaggerating' you mean 'pinpointing', then you'd be correct.

[Sidling closer because let's face it Tharja's kind of a jerk.]

I still say you should let me counter-curse the problem.

[lucanus]

[And subtly backing away in response, please stop.]

And I gave you my reasons for rejecting your offer.

[strateguised]

Making friends already, I see.

[lucanus]

That's a funny way of putting it, Robin.

[strateguised]

I'd say she seems to like you enough not to want to be an enemy.

... Should I be worried?

[lucanus]

... No, I think for now Tharja has... helped me put my situation into perspective.

[She's terrorizing him a little.]
