crystal

[bouchonne]

Dear Artemaeus! How are you.

[altusimperius]

[absently,] hmm?

[bouchonne]

[ Louder: ]

Dear Artemaeus. How are you.

[altusimperius]

[After a beat,]

…fine?

[bouchonne]

Is that so?

[altusimperius]

Yes?

Did you want something?

[bouchonne]

[ Fine. ]

Are you high?

[altusimperius]

No. Did you want something?

[bouchonne]

Then are you distracted by something? Have you adopted a cat that's demanding your attention?

[altusimperius]

Presently I’m being distracted by someone nattering at me over sending crystal.

[bouchonne]

[ What the fuck. ]

My dear little weed. You know I'm typically a fan of a fellow being uncouth, but that's a particularly uncharming sort of rudeness you're practicing.

[altusimperius]

[Dismissively,] I’ll keep that in mind.

[bouchonne]

[ He purses his lips thoughtfully. ]

Where have you gone lately, and who have you been in contact with?

[altusimperius]

What? [with the faintest touch of unease,] How does that concern you?

[bouchonne]

How do you think it concerns me? We have an enemy who exploits blood magic. If someone starts acting uncharacteristically dickish, one must ask questions.

[A halfhearted scoff, a pause, and Benedict's end of the line goes dead. DON'T BE RIDICULOUS anyway bye]
