They're not filthy. I had Gailardia bathe them just today.
[Fine then, he'll try it with his other hand. Jade should know he doesn't quit so easily by now. If he catches that arm too he'll just lick him, don't think for a second he won't.]
He does catch that arm or at least tries to because letting Peony stick his finger in Jade's ear is letting him win, and that is unacceptable. They are the most dignified of adults, after all. ]
But was he able to protect them from the detritus littering Your Majesty's bedroom floor or the mud out in the gardens?
[Jade's difficult to get the drop on, but he always has been. Peony simply clutches the other man's sleeves and goes slack in his grip, hoping to drag him down to the ground.]
That's an excellent question. Maybe I should have him sew them little booties to protect their feet.
[ Jade resists being pulled down for a second before deciding to instead simply let Peony's arms go and endeavoring to jerk his sleeves out of Peony's grasp so that the emperor falls down.
At least, that is his hope, but Peony has a pretty strong grip, so they might both wind up tumbling. ]
Yes, I'm certain Guy will enjoy that project, particularly if you have him integrate fontech.
[Peony's grip is indeed strong, and as soon as he figures out what Jade is trying to do he kicks at the man's feet until they both fall over. One wet willie later he's trying to scramble to his feet before any potential retaliation.]
That wouldn't be cute at all! I was more thinking knitted baby booties.
Jade makes a disgusted face. But instead of getting up right away, he returns the favor by hooking his leg out to knock Peony down before standing up and straightening his uniform, as if somehow that will help his dignity. ]
But then they would lack traction and would slide into the walls. Bowling with rappigs sounds fun in theory but I don't think Guy would enjoy cleaning up the mess.

[Just going to lean in and... lick a finger and try to stick it in his ear, yup. Someone still acts like he's in elementary school.]

He is surrounded by such children. It is a wonder he hasn't handed in his resignation by now...!
Jade is just going to... catch Peony's hand by the wrist, if he can. ]
Now, now Your Majesty, weren't you ever taught to wash your hands before sticking them in your mouth? Especially after handling such filthy creatures.

I'll just have to let them trot around in a spot that has carpet. How about your office?

Jade will just put his hands in his pockets. ]
That would be perfect. I wouldn't have to leave when I got hungry. A few fifth fonons for the fire and my spear as a spitroast...
