[Alexis is standing there with a cup of tea, looking out over the City. It seems he positioned his device somewhere to capture him looking just like this. There is a small smile on his lips as he lifts his cup to his lips for a sip before speaking.]

The real tragedy here is that I desire a piece of someone but that person is not available to me. I have considered finding a way but I suppose that is best left for another day and another time.

[He slides his dark gaze over to the device then turns to walk toward it.]

Eyes, hair, skin, teeth... Is there anything one would not take from someone in the very end? I would enjoy hearing your thoughts on that actually.

[He sets the cup down, lifts the device up.]

Enjoy your day.

[The connection ends.]

Best of luck to you getting around Anonymous's 'labor for goods trade'.

[allinhishands]

I wasn't aware I required luck.

[valentineluke]

Deities, Anonymous, and the City aside, neither magic nor science tends to be successful in accessing the outside for certain things. So what's left? Luck.

[allinhishands]

Again, I wasn't aware that I required luck.

[valentineluke]

Curiosity's piqued a bit. But all inquiry will be answered with 'Have to wait and see what happens' - correct?

[allinhishands]

No. It really won't.

[valentineluke]

Maybe I'll inquiry further at a later time.

[allinhishands]

For what reason? Your only interest is in my son and your distaste for me has been clear in the past. Any interaction is merely a waste of your time since you never receive answers.

So, again I ask, for what reason would you bother?

[valentineluke]

True, my loyalties do lay with him.

Been here a long time, seen various rigorous attempts to get out, but not bring something over without their help. There's motions made, but they're nowhere near the 'escapes' vigor. What's implied here seems such a radical approach, despite knowing I wouldn't get far, felt compelled to ask anyway.

[allinhishands]

I don't recall saying I had planned to do anything at all.

I would suggest you not be loyal to him though. Being loyal to him is to be loyal to me.

[valentineluke]

Someone else, then. Already know what happens with 'breakouts' and outsiders coming in, whether invited or not. A local done bringing over? Could be interesting.

Seen bits of his past; I choose to stay loyal. So what now?

[allinhishands]

The same thing. I have no use of someone who stretches to understand things and who comes to conclusions that do not exist.

You claim loyalty when you can barely comprehend the word. Come back and play when you have learned to actually listen. Until then I'm not interested in fools who only desire that which they will never have.

[He smiles pleasantly, nods his head politely, then hangs up.]

[valentineluke]

My loyalty to him remains unwavered.

Pleasant evening to you.

[allinhishands]

[He didn't hear it. He ended the connection already.]

Do you need help getting something?

[Because she will. For a price.]

voice; private

[allinhishands]

Are you offering to fetch it for me?

voice; private

[sleepingstar]

What's it worth to you?

voice; private

[allinhishands]

More than anything in any world.

What I desire is my greatest treasure, after all. But if you are willing to help I suppose we could come to an arrangement.

voice; private

[sleepingstar]

What is it you want?

voice; private

[allinhishands]

A body.

voice; private

[sleepingstar]

[Not exactly a helpful answer, Alexis.]

A specific body?

[No, there isn't any attitude in her voice. ....okay, there may be a little attitude. She's not impressed.]

voice; private

[allinhishands]

Indeed. My sister's.

voice; private

[sleepingstar]

If she's not in the City, I can't help you. [Getting him a piece of someone who wanted nothing to do with him? That she could do.]

voice; private

[allinhishands]

I'm actually aware of that. It was cute you should offer though. However, I never intended to have her brought here just yet.

voice; private

[sleepingstar]

[She rolls her eyes. He's toying with her. She is drowning in excess time, but she still doesn't feel like wasting any of it on him.]

All right then.
