	I'll never hear the end of it now. I hope you're happy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, exceptionally. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll have her opening the door from now on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's harsh. Maybe I assumed you'd told them all. [making his way into the back of the dorm, after pulling the door to.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xistential 2011-11-22 11:13 am UTC (link)
	I didn't want to. Not yet anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xceptional 2011-11-22 11:17 am UTC (link)
	Sorry. [doesn't really sound sorry.] She wasn't very enthused about it, anyway. [hmm... completely empty in here, isn't it. shrugs and crouches, emptying out the contents of the bag. which seems to be a scotch bottle and a couple of glasses, along with an Ophiuchus lantern.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can't imagine why. [pause] Drinks? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Compensation for your time, once we're done here. [thoughts are very focused on the act, not the why.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[fills both glasses, then stands. walks away from them to start examining the walls.] In any case, at least you'll have help with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's true. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The door never opened, nor any footsteps heard. In fact, just as Charles might realize there's just this one part of the room his mind just slips back away from, there's a delicate clink of bones wrapping around glass.] Well well. Company as well, you do know the way to make a fine drink taste better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xistential 2011-11-22 11:41 am UTC (link)
	I'm flattered. I thought that was my line. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xceptional 2011-11-22 11:43 am UTC (link)
	I'm glad it suits. Good evening. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	knocks_twice 2011-11-22 11:48 am UTC (link)
	Good evenin' And a right pleasure to make your acquaintance too. Round these parts I'm just known as the Gentleman. [Takes a deep sip, holding the liquor in his mouth for just a moment before swallowing it with a sigh.] Must be Soldier's, kid always did know a perfect mix of a good burn and taste.

	I'm Valerian of Lepus. As for the drinks, you'll have to thank Edge. Though he doesn't quite have the nose for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xceptional 2011-11-22 11:54 am UTC (link)
	[hrmph. maybe I won't give you any after all.] Yes, well. We didn't have anything quite as strong as what you gave me last time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	knocks_twice 2011-11-22 11:58 am UTC (link)
	[The man gives Valerian an amiable grin.] Good t'meet you. I bet you fancy them delicate spirits, right? [And then a slight nod at Edge] A bit of a favorite of mine, from quite a lovely lady, made it even a bit more delightful. Though I must say, you are looking a fair bit better than last time I saw you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xceptional 2011-11-22 12:03 pm UTC (link)
	Much better. And interesting as the whole experience was, I can't say I want to repeat it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	knocks_twice 2011-11-22 12:06 pm UTC (link)
	You aint that kinda type, but that's why we're talking again. You thought much on those words we passed back and forth? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xceptional 2011-11-22 12:12 pm UTC (link)
	I did. I think the path is heading for a dead end. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xistential 2011-11-22 12:15 pm UTC (link)
	And we need to secure a way out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He takes another sip, leisurely.]

Your lives don't end here, or at least, they aint supposed to. Quite a bit of time to both of you... now I aint saying time or fate is a fixed thing.. that all depends on the world and the rules it got wrote by. Yours is pretty fast and loose as far as that thing goes, let me tell you, but I aint all that fond of these shenanigans this children have been pullin'

Been making me late or early all over, causing all sorts of havoc.

So as it were, I can't say I'm on any particular side so much as seeing come to a proper conclusion.

	Time is the problem. As far as I can tell, ours might have just got cut short, if there was that much left to start with. I'm not going to do nothing about it and just hope we can last until our time to leave comes. I think that door just closed. We need to act. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xistential 2011-11-22 12:28 pm UTC (link)
	[playing good cop] It's not about sides. As Edge said, time is running out, on both sides. And our side has been losing ground, quite literally. But if you could share your conclusions with us, we will make the most of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
