[It gets a startled laugh out of him; you can catch the end of it as he clicks the button.]
I think you're asking a bit too much of me.
[He actually sounds somewhere between legitimately flattered and caught off-guard for that one. Congrats, Dist, that was shockingly smooth and absolutely has managed to get him to blush.]
I'm fairly certain I already succeeded in that, even if it wasn't physical.
Of course it does. I've already created a spell from scratch, I'm certain I can find a way to alter a Freeze staff to do just what I need it to.
[Gods, he's seriously considering this. What have you done to him, you horrible man.]
You're being so charming right now. Usually I'm the one doing the teasing. I suppose I can't really complain, though. I hope you continue to sweep me off my feet as soon as we're reunited.
[Clearly something amazing?? He's trying to hold back laughter at how absurd this conversation has become. Ah...he's glad this ended on a good note. They really did need to talk about the hard things, but they really can't dwell on them for too long.
A laugh does eventually escape, though it's a pleased one.]
I've learned plenty from you as well, it seems. [He smiles, once again wishing he could be there to touch Iago, but alas. Soon.] My first order of business is to rebuild my chair. Then I may properly do the same for you.
It's true, I am. I'm a Sorcerer, remember? We're all dreadful.
[But don't worry, he's not going to tease you forever. He did learn his lesson and he tries not to be too mean to the people he's genuinely fond of. He kind of bullied Mikami a lot today but also: it's Mikami. How is he supposed to resist??]
Thank you for talking with me, even though much of it was highly unpleasant. Hearing your voice again really does give me the strength to continue on.
[It would've been better if Dist was here by his side, but knowing he's still okay is good enough for now.]
I wasn't aware that Sorcerers were so well-versed at flustering. Ah, the things that I have learned from you...
[But, anyway. Thanks for letting him collect himself...]
Of course. I will continue to be here to talk as long as I am able. I appreciate hearing from you just as much.
[He doesn't know if he wants to voice it, but...he can't help but be concerned about the Twilight's collapse. Will he lose all contact with Iago and the others when it happens? That uncertainty bothers him, even if he knows it should work out in the end...]
Remind me to show you the outfit I wore as a Dark Mage once we're reunited.
[He hates that outfit!! But also: you will die and it will be so worth it.
Anyway...]
Of course, Dist. I know you and the others will be just fine on your own. [Honestly, he's more concerned about the living and their inability to get along for five minutes...] But I... really hope it isn't too long that we're separated again.
[It's only been a few days and yet he feels like his entire damn world ended. At least this time he can prepare for it and he has the knowledge that it's only a temporary silence between them.]
[HE SURE WILL DIE. He likes showing a little cleavage but...that...is too much. The thought of Iago wearing it will be even more so.]
I imagine the Lady intends to end things soon over there, so with luck it won't be very long. I do hope that we get the chance to see you all tear her limb from limb when it happens.
[His younger days were so wild, even for him.........]
Yes. I'm sure we'll all gather to share everything we've found soon, and I'll do everything I can to come up with several plans on how to proceed. I don't expect any of what I plan will actually happen since the Lady does enjoy surprising me. [never forget that powers motive!!] Still, that is what I do best and I'm not going to stop now.
I hope you all have the opportunity to watch as well. It will be all the more satisfying knowing you're there with me when I destroy her.
Have you really? I must admit, I'm very curious... I've been playing it far too safe with her; I believed winning her favor would be more beneficial for me in the long run. How blind I was.
[Admittedly, absolutely no one saw Dist's death coming and that was the major catalyst in putting his priorities in order.]
I suppose I had a bit of an advantage by being her..."favorite", for better or worse.
[Even now, he sounds pretty conflicted about his status. He has never really known how describe his feelings on that woman.]
I've pushed the label more than I probably should have, but I always got the feeling that she was holding back her anger when I did. Perhaps it allowed me to get more out of her than others.
I imagine it did. You had quite a bit of freedom to push her and she was very riled after your death.
[He's not going to tell Dist about all the things she mentioned wanting to do to him because Dist doesn't need to know that and he doesn't ever want to think about it, so.]
I only ever truly angered her once, and thankfully it wasn't aimed at me. Her temper rivals Garon's own. [And he doesn't know her nearly well enough to know how to calm her down.] I was worried about irritating her as badly as I had initially; our first conversation after that was exceptionally annoying.
[Turns out the Lady's terrible when she doesn't like you......... Who would've guessed..........]
But the next time I spoke to her, she seemed perfectly fine with me. I'm not entirely certain why, though I suppose it might be because it was the week of that motive regarding our powers.
[She figured she had him beat and somehow she ended up finding him interesting during that conversation. That's the best guess he has, anyway.]

no subject
[He says it as if he's reluctant to. He really isn't at all. Plus he just loves what he's hearing from Iago's end.]
But I don't know. I've simply had...dreams of someone coming along and doing just that in a physical sense.
[While this is entirely a joke...Jade. It was Jade before.]
no subject
[It's usually teasing, but it certainly doesn't manage that this time.]
I'm afraid that may have to remain a dream. Not that I'm complaining if you're dreaming about me, of course.
[And not. You know. Having nightmares about anything that happened.]
no subject
And just what happened to you not intending to disappoint me, hm?
[What has this conversation become.]
no subject
You would use my own words against me in such a way? You wound me, Dist.
[ahhhhhhh this is so much harder when someone else is doing the teasing!!!! how is dist this smooth!!!!!!]
Perhaps I'll have to look into finding a spell that will help make your dream a reality.
no subject
[He is bumblefucking his way through it, as one does in this murdergame group.]
Oh, now that I would accept. Sweeping me off my feet with magic...yes, that does fit you very well.

no subject
Why not just build one big enough for both of us?
[this is quite literally the most cursed idea. flying loveseat. disgusting.]
Alternatively, I could just sit in your lap.
[THAT'S EVEN WORSE]
no subject
While Iago doesn't hear the flustered noise he just made, it's still pretty evident in his tone.]
It needs to be small enough to fit through doorways... S-So I suppose the latter would be the only option.
no subject
That does sound like a nice option. Your chair might be comfortable, but I'll have the best seat.
[cuts the feed so he can continue cackling]
no subject
You are something else! Have I told you that yet?!
no subject
[that's more like it!!!! he's the one who's supposed to being doing the flustering here!!!]
no subject
[He is. His tone gives it away entirely.]
no subject
no subject
[He can't believe he's being attacked through a damn machine.]

[He's gotten to catch her off guard once and it would've been the best if the circumstances weren't...after the fourth week's trial...
Anyway, he lets a conspiratory laugh come through the feed.]
I will be waiting in anticipation for that, no doubt about it.
