[accidental video] mere mortals watched them fly

[Have a look at Raphael's tiny, mostly unnecessary kitchen. It's in a slight amount of disarray, with various groceries haphazardly lining what little space exists, and liquid dripping out of the base of a blender, down the countertop and to the floor.]

[Interestingly enough there are no dirty dishes.]

[Raphael's back is to the camera as he first glances at, then leans out the window, grumbling at the view. Or views. He doesn't wave back at the bathers, slamming the window shut.]

The one time I'm really not in the mood for hot springs.

[and as he grabs a sponge, he notices the device]

Oh, fantastic.

You know that's not even half of what I'm begrudging.

...do I. I can't imagine what in the world else might be at stake.

[shall_yield_us]

Raphael, be vulgata and vulgar for me for a moment. Can you manage?

[bedsidemanners]

It's easy to manage what you always are, isn't it?

[shall_yield_us]

Oh, I shouldn't know, it's said my very nature is inconstancy.

But tell me, O Raphael: is she a good... lay? I should think, if nothing else, to earn her name, her rank, then surely...?

[a long, long pause, before finally]

How dare you.

[bedsidemanners]

You think you're asking me something I haven't heard before. As if it hasn't been rubbed in my face for centuries. But you haven't got the right any more than they did.

[shall_yield_us]

Has it occurred to you... I might genuinely be curious?

[bedsidemanners]

Your curiosity can rot along with the rest of you.

[shall_yield_us]

...ah. Cruelty at long last. I didn't think you'd wear it so well.

[bedsidemanners]

I have nothing more to say to you.
