There is a click, a soft urging, almost whispered too soft to hear, but you can sense that you are being beckoned somewhere, lead to an elaborate open door with wood panels and great curls of gold leaf. You cannot see what is beyond the door, but it smells sour and sharp. Before you can turn over the thought of should you or shouldn't you, if you are the kind, there is a quiet push at your back and through the door you go . . .

And upset your brother here? I am his teammate.

[dramatispersonae]

Do you have to bring Gilbert into this. He is blanching, because . . . God, no, don't do this.

[dormancy]

I don't care.

[crueltobekind]

You love him.

[dormancy]

I killed his master. Don't hide behind his skirts.

[crueltobekind]

. . . Why did you kill him?

[dormancy]

Because you had no place being around me.

[crueltobekind]

. . .

Why not? We were getting along fine before you decided to scare me away.

[dormancy]

I wasn't scaring you away. It was a threat that I am willing to make good on.

[crueltobekind]

Except you've burned every bond and avoided me since.

Why did you make that threat in the first place? Use your words to explain it.

[dormancy]

Because you should know fear, and when to bite your tongue, especially when you are far outclassed.

[crueltobekind]

You have a very strange way of caring, Vincent.

[dormancy]

That isn't caring, that is wanting to crush an insect that bites you.

[crueltobekind]

I hadn't bitten you. Unless you're counting insulting your tea, in which case it seems like you're the one who needs to worry about your temper. I still liked you then, even if I was upset with you. People do that, you know. Get upset with someone they still care about.

[dormancy]

[i am not having this conversation with you or anyone else for that matter]

[crueltobekind]

[that's cool I can carry this on one-sided]

I get that you're pretty messed up now, so I'll forgive the slip-up this time. I just have to be more patient with you, right? You have this sideways way of going at things . . . I didn't realize that before.

[dormancy]

I am not speaking with you again.

[crueltobekind]

I can visit you myself.

[dormancy]

Hahaha . . .

[crueltobekind]

I don't want to undo your quest though. Even Gilbert warned me about the girl on that team . . . but there are other things that could be done to keep it. Other prices.

[dormancy]

I'm not interested.

[crueltobekind]

I'm not going to be chased off.

[dormancy]

And I haven't changed my position.

[crueltobekind]

We'll see who wins once I get out of here. ♥
