not quite but it does make you slightly more endearing. I suppose there’s more to ‘rot’ than I originally thought.

still doesn’t explain why I’m being denied anything however.

[flashpointed]

Sure it does.
I said I'd deny you anything, but here I am, giving up my secrets just because you asked.

[strumpet]

I hate to correct you, but ‘secret’, not ‘secrets’.

you’ve only indulged me in one, and if you wish for me not to call you ‘cute’, you should consider indulging me further.

[flashpointed]

What did I say before? An inch, a mile...

I've got quite a few secrets, you know. I've heard worse threats for them than a beautiful woman finding me endearing.

[strumpet]

oh but how many can you actually and genuinely trust? they might regal your ears with sweet words but their lips are loose.

mine—

( wait she’s walking herself into something unmentionable here. )

you know what I mean.

[ listen, he's too classy to stoop to a juvenile, vulgar joke like— ]

Of course. Yours are in a class all their own. I know that from experience.

[ lol. lmao. ]

You know how risky my line of work is, though.
Sometimes I just need to take a step back. For a little extra security.

very charming roy, very mature.

( still regardless of her work and how she might be perceived, she was kind and loyal.

that extended even at her own expense. )

that’s true and I won’t hold it against you. just remember who your true friends are, even with a kind face, a demon could be lurking beneath.

[ Well, okay. He can risk a little earnestness, for her sake: ]

Don't worry. I'll remember.
The rule won't be forever. Just until I can sort some things out. You understand, right?

[strumpet]

I do, I just like to taunt you a bit.

let’s hope the rule ends before I die of thirst though.

[flashpointed]

You're stubborn. I have a feeling you'll be alright.
