[mortuaria]

i've got a question for those of you who have been down planetside.

when you were down there did you see any signs of ancient greek culture, like statues, architecture, stories still passed around by the natives? or roman culture too

Comments

[orestes]

Ah. That again.

I suppose if he dislikes reading so much he truly would not be aware of whatever it is you keep referencing in relation to me. Perhaps I should reevaluate my opinion of him and his preferences. [Maybe he should make friends with more people who don't read if it avoids... this...]

[iphigeneia]

Perhaps you should. Or simply work on your manners at large.

[orestes]

I beg your pardon?

[iphigeneia]

It is unkind to chide him like that.

[orestes]

Unkind, perhaps, but not unwarranted. The same could be said of him, regardless.

[iphigeneia]

It is more charming when he does it.

[mortuaria]

or you can stop talking about me as if i'm not here

[iphigeneia]

I mean no harm. Surely you can see I am on your side!

[orestes]

I do not know that your friend wishes you for his side, mademoiselle. Perhaps he would rather fight this battle, if that is what we are to call it, on his own.

[iphigeneia]

And leave him to muck around with a frog? I think not.

[orestes]

[SACREBLEU]

And you would critique my manners, mademoiselle.

[iphigeneia]

[ARE YOU SCANDALIZED?]

I did not say mine were any better, sir.

[orestes]

[INCREDIBLY SO, YES]

Then I suppose your conscience can be clear of that, at least.

[iphigeneia]

Indeed. Now, darling Nico has asked that we save our conversation for another day. Might I suggest we end this civilly, as proper and polite gentlepeople?

[orestes]

We can end it, mademoiselle, but you have already removed civility from the conversation.

Good day.

[mortuaria]

i don't need you picking fights for me

[iphigeneia]

Oh please. He is French and I am English. It is in our nature to loathe one another.

[mortuaria]

then do it somewhere else

[iphigeneia]

You're no fun at all.
