[ She asks Anaxagoras to meet her in the sitting room, where she'll be in a chair next to a table. On that table is a pot of tea, two cups next to it already steeping. ]
As fate would have it, I have not managed to avoid it. My sense of touch has been disrupted.
Though takes another sip, looking thoughtful all the while. ]
By the way...if you had told myself at the beginning of this that we would be able to sit down and share tea without it feeling like I was banging my head against a wall, then I thought you would be full of it.
Face-to-face communication certainly makes a difference.
[ Seeing someone else's movements, hearing their voice... you can't replicate that, and when that is taken away, mutual understanding becomes difficult. ]
Though I must agree. Our personalities are similar in unfortunate ways.
Of course, I have some remaining complaints to leverage for the end, as I'm certain all of you will be needing it for the future [ nobody asked ], but just the same if neither of you had abandoned those puppets...hmph, it would have taken even longer to converse like normal individuals.
[ Anaxagoras would have more or less tired of his communication with people upon whose faces he could not see. His patience is something that would have exhausted itself despite his own best efforts. It'd be like dealing with Aglaea's mannequins too much for him to bear forever. ]
That being said, I could have never guessed that there would have been similarities with our personalities. Though, I doubt you made a habit of angering many individuals in high places, or scoffed at a multitude of higher beings, while inevitably ensuring to defy both in one fell swoop.
[ If he does not cause some minor chaos by the end of this that will be a surprise (fast forward to explosions r us...and maybe who the hell knows what else.) ]
They should be ready to hear it, considering that it would do them some good to realize the extent of what they need to fix in their rule.
But then again egos that large are easily injured and a lost cause.
[ P a t h e t i c of them. Is it any surprise he is saying things like this...it's fine. ]
Hm...I earned titles, though not by any such grace. "Foolish" isn't much of a compliment, after all. [ Yet he says this with a smirk like he is like 'lol' about it, it's fine. ] What exactly does being a Scion mean for you? In fact, both sound like potentially heroic titles.
[ Yeah, it's no surprise whatsoever. She has long since figured Anaxagoras is Like This. ]
The Scions are a dedicated group of individuals intent on protecting the realm from threats. Unfortunately, our threats have continued to grow greater and greater.

week 4, late tuesday
As fate would have it, I have not managed to avoid it. My sense of touch has been disrupted.

...That is something I haven't experienced.
Though, today I can't smell much of anything. Including meals or drinks.
[ ...but at least he can taste it? ]
However, this is better than yesterday's irritating effect.
no subject
What was it yesterday? Something that obstructed your observations?
no subject
It was lack of hearing. Nothing that would obstruct my observations, as there were methods to get around it.
Losing a sense would never prevent myself from making such things, in any case.
[ Where there's a will, there's a way. ]
no subject
I'm certain you know now that it would not prevent me either.
no subject
[ Anaxagoras says this with a straight face, bringing his tea up to cover a little smile. ]
no subject
[ She smiles too, and there's a hint of a threat under her words...
But, shockingly, it seems like she's joking too. ]
no subject
[ Anaxagoras says with some sassy snark...

no subject
I've been told to keep my opinions to myself, simply because rulers do not like to hear of the crimes they have committed.
[ Y'shtola doesn't shy away from giving her opinions, after all. ]
My role as an Archon and a Scion of the Seventh Dawn has earned grace, however. I don't oft anger others anymore.
