You might want to check on your sister today.

That's rather ominous. What happened? Why?

There was a situation. I intervened before it could escalate, but anything more would be hers to tell.

You intervened? ~~for me?~~

As I said, if you want to know more, you should ask her. It's hers to tell.

Are you alright?

I'm well. No reason to worry over me, my dear.

I worry anyway. ~~I love you~~

You should stop that. Worry ages prematurely.

We both know that isn't an issue for me. Unless you're calling me old. In which case, I will be meeting you at dawn to duel.

Hardly, but you keep worrying so and you'll start to look it. What a shame that would be.

~~I've missed you~~
Such a shame, hm?

It won't be because you're going to stop worrying, aren't you?

About you? Likely not.

Pity. You were so beautiful.

Were? Talking about my beauty in the past tense??

Well, if you insist upon continuing to worry, it's only a matter of time.

You're just wanting to rile me up

To what end? It's hardly my place to rile you up anymore.

You enjoy poking my buttons. They feel very poked.

I've never denied as much. But it was my understanding that I'm not allowed to poke you.

You're not supposed to be, yet here you are. Ruffling my feathers.

Perhaps I ought to stop then.

~~ahh why do I want to continue to poke at you?!~~
How do you do it?

Are you asking me how I am myself? It's much too early for self psychoanalysis, darling.

I swear, you know just how to crawl under my skin.

It's a talent. You make it difficult not to.

I miss you too.

Monogamy boring you already?

Hardly. You're just bloody addicting.

Well, if your girlfriend ever gives you a hall pass, you're always welcome to warm my bed.

She's not the sort.

More's the pity.

Matters aren't helped much that you're all over gossip rags with her sister.

Oh that's right. I'd forgotten.

Just slipped your mind, hmm?

How am I supposed to keep track of all the tertiary people?

Oh? That's interesting

A great many things are.
