[ Artemis appears to be reclining in his apartment, and when he addresses the communicator he sounds bored. ]

So. What's the deal with elves?

[ He takes a moment to flick the settings over to private; apparently he's decided that he doesn't like broadcasting his own inability to lie. ]

I can't lie, remember?

I do. Want to learn more about you. You're... interesting, alright?

private;

[vampirique]

( Azrael stares at him for a few quiet seconds, then frowns very deeply. )

I am not interesting. I am a mockery of what was once interesting.

( Then; )

The novels were written when I was human. I am a very different person now. You would not understand it.

[sithiche]

[ He frowns in return at those words. ]

I didn't realize you really had the whole self-hating thing going on. [ A sigh. ] You're interesting to me, alright.

[vampirique]

( Azrael does seem surprised by that return. His voice is soft. )

You had not? I had thought it... evident.

It is irrelevant. I will tell you how to find them, if you swear to me that you will not use the knowledge to mock me.

private;

[sithiche]

[ He sighs. ]

Not really, no.

[ There's a pause. He does not give vows lightly. ]

I promise.

private;

[vampirique]

[ Azrael is thinking on that for a few seconds, as he'd rather thought Artemis' own behavior was a reflection of his own hatred of self. This was all very interesting, and not very helpful for him at all.

He nearly begged the fey to swear again for his own privacy, but he seemed—placated, if not still malcontent. ]

I put them in the library here, when I found them. You can find them under my previous name; Julian Richoux.

Make no mistake that I do not trust you with that information.

private;

[sithiche]

[ He nods, seeming thankful for the information. After a long moment, he speaks. ]

I like that name.

private;

[vampirique]

[ After a few more thoughtful and quiet seconds, it seems to take Azrael a long while before he speaks up—not ignoring those words, but not acknowledging them. ]

Tell me what you think. If you so choose.

private;

[sithiche]

[ He gives another nod. ]

I will.
