We meet again, my friend! Of all the places in all of the world, who could guess we'd end up in the same one again.

[abominor]

I certainly didn't anticipate it.
It's quite the surprise.

[immoralist]

A happy one, I hope!

[abominor]

I suppose you can call it that.

[ he's trying to be cordial. he doesn't want to be but he's trying to be anyway ]

[immoralist]

Ah, ah, you're still very antisocial, aren't you?

[abominor]

I just have a small social circle.

[ yes, he's still very antisocial. if anything, he's become more antisocial over time ]

[immoralist]

(( Ugh! Why are vampires like this? ))

Small though it may be, you know someone I would very much like to meet, if you'd be so kind as to make an introduction.

[abominor]

[ maybe after being alive long enough, you just lose all interest in socializing?? ]

Tell me who this mystery someone is first.

[immoralist]

(( Peter clearly hasn't reached that point, so that sounds super fake. ))

The happy little baby from the incubus's party~ I saw him talking to you.

[abominor]

[ well peter is... special ]

There were no babies there.

[ that place was wildly inappropriate for babies! wait. hold on. give him a minute to figure it out ]

Oh. It's not really my place to make that introduction.

[immoralist]

(( So literal. He must still be hanging around with the goth fae. ))

Sure it is! You're already acquainted. Baby, this is Peter. Peter, this is baby. Easy!

[abominor]

[ iseul may be rubbing off on him just a little ]

Yesung is his sire. You should ask him to introduce you to Kun-woo.

[immoralist]

(( Aha! So he does have a name! ))

Oh, is he? I didn't know whose baby he is.

(( Yes he did. Yesung already said no. ))

[abominor]

[ oh did peter not know that already? ]

He is, yes.

[ he considers just leaving the conversation at that, ghosting peter and moving on with his life. but would peter really accept that and just leave him alone? probably not. what could help, though, is passing him off to yesung. making peter someone else's problem.

he sends peter an address. it's his home. the one without occupants, now that he's moved in with iseul. it'll make for a fine enough meeting place ]

Meet me here later tonight. 1AM.

[ now to see if yesung and his new child will even meet with him tonight... ]

[immoralist]

(( He'll never give up, Hai! At least not until he's bored of this. ))

How salacious of you to think I'd meet you alone in the dead of the night!

(( Are they going to be alone, Hai? Are they? ))

[abominor]

I would've offered to meet in the middle of the afternoon, but I value my life.
I'll be at that address tonight. Meet me or don't. It makes no difference to me.

[ the may or may not be alone! peter'll have to show up to find out ]

[immoralist]

You're getting so literal in your old age.
I'll be there, don't fret. It will give you wrinkles.

[abominor]

Old age? Age has nothing to do with this.

[ old age???? have you ever considered that may be one of the list of reasons why people avoid you, peter? you make them feel old?? ]

I'm hardly worried. As I said, it makes no difference to me.
It could be a missed opportunity for you, however.

[immoralist]

I can't have that. It might haunt me for all eternity!

[abominor]

I would truly hate for you to be eternally haunted by what could've been.

[immoralist]

Ah, I knew YOU would understand! I'm simply not built for carrying regrets! I can't allow myself the chance to nurture them!

[abominor]

I do indeed. Regrets are far too heavy to be carrying around needlessly.

[immoralist]

They are! I'm weak, I shouldn't be doing that kind of heavy lifting.

[abominor]

We can't very well overburden the weak.

[immoralist]

That's right! It's cruelty! I know you're not cruel~
