How did you get this number? I've been through several since the last one you managed to weasel out of someone.

[immoralist]

Answer my question and I'll answer yours.

[perfectpredator]

I didn't introduce the two of you because you're a nuisance.

1/2

[immoralist]

I strenuously object to such a slanderous characterization!

2/2

[immoralist]

I used my charms~

[perfectpredator]

Who was it who taught you such cumbersome words?

I've yet to see evidence of this "charm".

[immoralist]

Are you losing your memory in your old age? You know very well I learned English from THE ENGLISH. My vocabulary has only grown in the last three centuries thanks to the OED and a man named Webster.

You haven't seen it because you spend all your time and energy avoiding me. I'm beginning to feel hurt by it.

[perfectpredator]

Yes yes I am painfully aware of your history. Unfortunately it seems I'm much to unlucky to have lost my memory.

[ he hasn't forgotten, peter. he's trying to use every avenue he has to express his current displeasure ]

That's how you're meant to feel.

[immoralist]

(( Rude, tbh. ))

Well, in spite of all that, I'd like to meet your baby. You know I couldn't possibly introduce myself. I know it's allowed these days, but it'll be so much nicer if you do the honors for us. He's very cute. How long have you had him?

[perfectpredator]

[ sorry peter. you bring out some not great traits in him! ]

He's very new and still learning.
And no, I will not introduce the two of you. The incubus' home was the closest you'll come to a chance.

[immoralist]

(( Not sorry, liar! ))

How discourteous of you! I'll simply have to find someone else, then.

[perfectpredator]

[ not actually sorry at all!! ]

Do what you have to, but you won't get what you want.

[immoralist]

Yesung, you old bore! Half the fun is TRYING.

[perfectpredator]

It will have to be the entire fun, because you won't get past 'try'.

[immoralist]

You act like I'm going to do something bad to him!

[perfectpredator]

I know you wouldn't do anything bad to him.

[immoralist]

So there's absolutely no reason to keep us apart!

[perfectpredator]

There is a reason and it's because I said no. That's all the reason necessary.

[immoralist]

That's a silly and wholly unsatisfying reason.

[perfectpredator]

I don't exist to satisfy you.

[immoralist]

Maybe not NOW. But once upon a time, before our divorce.
And now you've gone and had a baby without me!

[perfectpredator]

'Once upon a time' nothing. Your continued satisfaction has never been my purpose. [ his happiness yes, once upon a time, but that's not specifically what they're talking about ] Another in the list of reasons we were doomed to fail.

'Without you' was a key point in my decision to bring up a young vampire.

[ that's not true. it didn't actually factor in at all ]

[immoralist]

YOU are a silly and wholly unsatisfying person these nights. Did I take all the fun in our divorce?

[perfectpredator]

The young one thinks I'm plenty fun. I would insist that you ask him yourself but that would require allowing you to speak with him.
I suppose you'll simply have to take my word for it.

[immoralist]

Of course he does. He hasn't had the experience of knowing you for more than a minute.
