Fane-san, I have your answer.
Fane-san, I have your answer.

As I recall, I said one day.
[ Not that he sounds particularly annoyed. He's just pointing this out. ]
no subject
[HE DOESN'T SOUND SORRY. way to not be timely, jerk!!]
Unfortunately, I'm going to have to deny your proposition. But I do have a counter offer for you, if you're interested.

[ He sighs and shakes his head, though his posture does become a touch more tense when it's refused. Even without a face, it's easy to imagine it twisting up in displeasure. His tone is a little more clipped. ]
Oh, good. I would be quite cross if you took all the extra time just to waste mine. Go ahead. I'm listening.
no subject
Allow me to assist you in completing your objective.
[oh]
You stated you didn't wish to lie, and I respect that. But is it truly lying if you tell it to someone who knows it isn't true? If you give me a rumor, I will do my best to spread it for you. You'll still be the ultimate source despite me doing most of the leg work, thus completing your objective with minimal effort. Is that satisfactory?
no subject
...No, I think not. I felt pressed for time, so allow me to explain my distaste for falsehoods a bit further. The entire reason I'm in this state is because of the petty dramas of court. I've no patience for the kind of backstabbing that comes with gossip. The last time I fell victim to rumors, it landed me in a tomb.
[ The irony here is that he's only half right... But he definitely believes that this is what happened, so. He's not exactly lying. ]
The fact that you tried to meet me partway is commendable, that said. I do at least appreciate the effort.
no subject
Perhaps if the rumors we spread were about our delightful captors? Certainly you would have no moral qualms about that.
[THEY DESERVE IT]
no subject
...Well, yes, that would be fine. I quite hate them.
[ so like, that's good ]
no subject
I thought that might get your attention. Very well. Tell me a tall tale, about the Crafters and I'll ensure it spreads around his manor like wildfire.
no subject
That this is all a lover's spat we've been drawn into. I would love to undermine their idiotic pursuits as much as possible.
no subject
Is that so? My, what important information! I'll see to it that the other Narrators are informed of this immediately.
no subject
Good. I may not be able to actually spit on them, as I lack the necessary fluid, but I hope this carries that sentiment to them.
no subject
As do I. I'm certain it'll make the both of us feel much better.
