Homura,

Can you dance?

River.

[theycutitout.livejournal.com]

Yes?

[thesadist]

I hope you are being... discretionary in your dancing partners.

[theycutitout.livejournal.com]

Dancing or dancing. It's a guessing game. A riddle.

But you can supervise if you like.

[thesadist]

That may be awkward.

[theycutitout.livejournal.com]

Not if it's just dancing.

Do you think you're a better dancer? Not speaking in the code. Speaking in the way of everything the words can mean.

If the nation of asshole had an official dance, I imagine he'd be pretty damn good at it.

[theycutitout.livejournal.com]

You need to play well with others. He's not so bad.

He likes flowers.

[norainu]

And I like poetry pastries shaped like fish.

That doesn't make me any less of an asshole.

[thesadist]

Is that our type of asshole or the alternate sort? I've been called worse.

[norainu]

Just not the sort I'd trust at my back unless I had all the ts crossed.

[screwthegods]

A master, if you're that curious. But my methods have reasonings.

Should one care enough to understand, of course.

[norainu]

Methods and reasonings really aren't my style. I'll take your word for it.

Nice that we all know where we stand.

[theycutitout.livejournal.com]

Don't be a boob.

I wanted to see the flowers with you.

[screwthegods]

Discretionary? Such a polite word.

I do promise to remain appropriate with her, should that reassure you. I've no intention of making an enemy out of River.

[thesadist]

At any rate, she'd probably offer you as much harm as I, should you make such a mistake. Your promise has been duly noted.

[screwthegods]

I've been told I can, and quite well. But I'll let you make your own judgments.

When would you care to meet?

[theycutitout.livejournal.com]

After breakfast. You'll be tested.

[screwthegods]

Tested? I wonder if I'll pass.

I look forward to finding out.

[theycutitout.livejournal.com]

Curious and curiouser.

[screwthegods]

It keeps things interesting.

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

Should I be jealous that I'm never the one you go to for these sorts of things?

[screwthegods]

Perhaps that sets you apart.

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

Evidently, but not in a way I'd prefer.

[screwthegods]

It doesn't mean it's a bad thing. It could mean she considers you more than those she choses to dance this dance with.

But River would be the one to know for certain.
