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.

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.

[hallowedly]

It isn't as if you go out of your way to be lady-like.

[merged]

It's not the 1970s anymore, grandpa. Modernize.

[hallowedly]

There's still time to send you to a finishing school.

[merged]

And let them tarnish my sparkling personality? As if.

[hallowedly]

It might be a way to resume a regular life. Wouldn't you like that?

[merged]

I promise you, no one who lives a regular life where I'm from has gone to a finishing school.

[hallowedly]

Then, at least a university. You'd make a fine accountant.

[merged]

...do you somehow think we'll be going back home?

[hallowedly]

You'll be home sooner than you think. Careful what you wish for.
