( ...ah. How unfortunate. )

Any flesh, blood or fluid sample you get from Sleep's beloved targets.

[merged]

What do you need them for?

[hallowedly]

A private collection.

[merged]

Bullshit. I'll get you what you want, but I want to know the reason. The real one, not whatever you'd feed someone you think would make them like you or less suspicious or... whatever it is you usually do. [ like no genuinely she hasn't been able to figure out his motivations and it's driving her mad ]

[hallowedly]

She doesn't like it when her things are held from her. And she almost took something of mine.

[merged]

Petty. I like that. [ but he should know by now that she is too curious for her own good. ] What'd she almost take?

[hallowedly]

...no, I don't think I'll give anyone the pleasure of saying it. You'll have to do with your guess.

[merged]

You don't have to. We both know what I'm going with. [ Subaru, if only because that's the only thing, aside from some foreign brand of cigarettes, she knows for certain he likes. ]

[hallowedly]

Smugness is beneath you.

Paying your debt won't be.

[merged]

It's really not. Sometimes, a girl deserves to be a little smug. [ and boy howdy does she enjoy it when the time is right ]

Don't worry, I'll pay that debt. Plus, I'm willing to do just about anything to piss Sleep off.

[hallowedly]

You'll find this more challenging than your usual fare.

[merged]

How so?

[hallowedly]

I'm afraid last I did it, she was quite retaliatory.

But you're a grown woman. You'll figure it out.

[merged]

[ the depth of the sigh she just let out... sir ]

Retaliatory how?

[hallowedly]

She sent her little flying monkeys along for the better part of a month. Either that, or my perfume really is as irresistible as its commercials indicated.

[merged]

What'd you manage to get your hands on?

[hallowedly]

A forensic sample. One's.

[merged]

That is so weird. [ Sorry, doc, she's just calling it like she sees it. ]

[hallowedly]

Don't be a child. That is insurance.

[merged]

I don't see the insurance here. Educate me. [ It felt more like a petty man poking a great hibernating bear, blood in his back pocket as if it could protect him from the eventual wrath. ]

[hallowedly]

Names, birthdates and birthplaces are pretty, in matters of curses, divination, restraint or summons.

But when times are tough, nothing beats blood.

[merged]

[ mmm not a fan ]

Wouldn't something like that require a certain type of magic?

[hallowedly]

( Don't. Remind him. )

What a fine time to find ourselves in possession of a Sumeragi.

[merged]

I'd test before you get excited. As far as I understand it, this magic belongs to her. Not to mention, any harm to One works in her favor.

[hallowedly]

Sharon. Worry about your end of this agreement.
