[AFTER THE ARGUMENT

astra is just going to spend a little while looking sad and pine-y after vespera. piiiines.]

[withswagger]

[too bad i don't have a nail file so i can't just aloofly do my nails]

What's this? You can't be contrite. It must be something else on that lovely face.

[supraliminally]

I have no cause to be contrite. I expressed my opinion. I would not ask for an apology if you did the same.

[withswagger]

I'm not asking for an apology, am I?

[supraliminally]

Do you desire one, though?

[withswagger]

Not in particular. Perhaps I ought to give one, for eavesdropping.

[supraliminally]

Certainly not. If I were to apologize, it would be for not keeping the conversation more private. However, since your contribution was valuable, I don't feel particularly sorry for it, on reflection.

[withswagger]

Was it.

[supraliminally]

Yes.

[withswagger]

What will we be doing?

[supraliminally]

That's up to Bergen. Probably in the end we'll follow your suggestion. Eos and I will work out a contract without loopholes that can be used against us.

[withswagger]

. . .

[surprised?...]

[supraliminally]

[yes. she's got it all figured out. make a contract with them, then when they're ready to break it she'll get them all to booze together, sneak some of her magic water into the drinks, tell them the contract's up, wait until she's allowed to attack and then tear them apart from the inside out, all together in one blow. easy.

or something. work in progress, really she should have multiple plans in place anyway, right? she'll keep picking at it.]

Yes. Betrayal is distasteful to Bergen as well, after all. And you argued convincingly of the benefits of honest dealing.

[withswagger]

[i feel like astra doesn't quite fathom what i'm getting at though]

That's unexpected. You seemed steadfast.

[supraliminally]

[vespera it's okay she will do all the betraying so your hands will be clean??? no need to feel bad.]

Did I, now...

Come here.

[withswagger]

. . .

[gets up to go over to her.]

I'm not angry with you, you know.

[supraliminally]

[pulling him into the bed and pushing him into his back. and then just. looking down over him, braced on her arm.]

Maybe.

You are my brother, Vespera. I don't wish to hurt you. Whether you are angry with me or not is immaterial.

[withswagger]

[easily done. he blinks up at her...]

My sister has not harmed me thus, and so you have nothing to worry on. But duly noted that it would be terribly frustrating to be angry with you.

[supraliminally]

[just petting his face, affectionate.]

Oh? And why is that?
