[...Some laughter, then]

I suppose that this would be a bad time to play Truth or Dare, wouldn't it?

More like a great time.

[Oops. Sorry, Vatheon, but Axel's recently recovered from his injuries and is trying to make the most of his time. Thus, he's trolling the network.]

What? You're not gonna bother to play a little bit?

Don't tell me you're gonna be a killjoy.

[ex_diplomacy861]

Then what do you want? For me to hand out confessions of my own?

voice;

[flared]

I never said that.

You're awfully touchy.

[ex_diplomacy861]

[She lets out a short laugh. She's really not bothered at all. Perhaps it's concern for his privacy. Perhaps it's something else.]

I'm not irritated in the least. Then what do you ask of me?

voice;

[flared]

[He laughs as well.]

Just to play a little.

[ex_diplomacy861]

[Unseen by him, she cocks her head to the side, amused.]

All right. I suppose I've played more than enough mind games to simply allow this one to pass.

[who a mind what -- ] . . . That sounded awful, didn't it.

voice;

[flared]

I've heard worse.

voice;

[ex_diplomacy861]

Have you? I don't doubt that.

After living with twelve other heartless beings, you tend to hear just about everything in your life.

voice;

[ex_diplomacy861]

My, that's a lot of people to have lived with. Though that's a bit of a harsh judgment, don't you think?

voice;

[flared]

Judgment? [He's about to lie about it, but, given the curse,]

There's no judgment here, sweetheart.

[ex_diplomacy861]

[For a second, she's more hung up on the address than what he says, but she gets back on track soon enough.]

So you're saying they're literally heartless?

[Forgive the doubt seeping into her words.]

voice;

[flared]

Yes. Exactly what it says on the cover.

voice;

[ex_diplomacy861]

. . . How would that even work?

voice;

[flared]

Don't tell me I have to draw out a diagram for you. [Is it really that hard for people to just get it?]

voice;

[ex_diplomacy861]

A simple explanation would suffice.

voice;

[flared]

This is deviating a bit from our game, you know.

voice;

[ex_diplomacy861]

And are you that unwilling to elaborate?

[But fine, man. She'll just let her curiosity sit if it must be so.]

voice;

[flared]

No. To be honest, I just wanna mess with you first.

voice;

[ex_diplomacy861]

. . . Well. That's assuring.
