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.

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.

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.

[ 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.

[merged]

I'll drop it. For now.

[hallowedly]

Have I acted impulsively so far?

[merged]

I don't know. Have you?

[hallowedly]

No one's died.

[merged]

Do people normally die when you get impulsive?

[hallowedly]

...you've never encountered metaphor, have you?

[merged]

Shit, you got me. They don't teach metaphor or hyperbole in American schools. [ ever feel someone roll their eyes in the murmur? yeah. that's a hard eye roll. ]

[hallowedly]

I'm surprised you attended school at all.

[merged]

Oof, my ego. I'm gonna cry myself to sleep.
