Wh--really?

[winebar]

What were you expecting?

[third_alternative]

I dunno, you making an even grumpier face but for the rest of time? Punishing me lawboy-style somehow? Leading some kind of town mob against me?

[winebar]

I cannot say I know of any laws that make it illegal to curse someone with love, unfortunately.
[As a lawboy, he is powerless here.]

And I certainly cannot lead a mob against you because no one knows what happened besides you, Sholmes, myself, and Mr Kaburagi, and I would prefer to keep it that way. That rather leaves me without options.

[third_alternative]

Really?

...what about that girl--Susato?

[winebar]

.... She should not be aware of the details, I do not think.

[third_alternative]

What do you mean, 'details'?

[ it's literally just "sholmes and van zieks got smoochy for a few days," what details are there that aren't covered by that? ]

[winebar]

[THOSE.]

She knows something occurred between us that caused some sort of disagreement.


When the curse worse off I had her give Sholmes a note ordering him to not speak to me.

[third_alternative]

[ he winces a little and sucks in air at that. damn, he didn't know he caused THAT much of a mess between them. ]

Oh. Got it.

[winebar]

[It's fine van Zieks is just very dramatic.]

... Sholmes promptly ignored my note. It is fine. We are friends now.

[ ...oh. snort. ]

How are you guys grandpa age but act like you're in kindergarten?

[winebar]

[HELLO? Now I'm glad Rex is dead.]

Thirty-three and thirty-four are hardly the age one would ascribe to grandfathers!

[third_alternative]

[ are you tho ]

Well, you sure dress as stuffy as one!

[winebar]

[A little.]

How many times do I have to say that this is a normal manner of dress among the aristocracy where I am from?

[third_alternative]

Then I guess everyone in the aristocracy is a grandpa! [ shrug, he doesn't make the rules! ]
