it’s a thought. my country cleansed itself of my people years ago so going back now would be suicide. but someday, maybe. it would be nice to be there with you. and don’t worry, i’d get you a hat.

no. you’re busy doing nothing, remember?

it’s a joke. i’m fine. i like that now i have you to talk to when i’m in a mood.

[mislay]

nothing says you can't think about being somewhere else. we'll go there one day, but i'm not going to wear a hat. [ He'll just suffer. ]

is that all to the story, or is there something else that's bothering you?

[casimir]

it's the desert, stupid. even if you were just human, you'd burn in the sun. you people are so colorless. maybe i also just want to see you in a hat.

it's nothing. i'm just tired and i can't sleep. the neighbor has a tune stuck in her head and now it's in mine.

[mislay]

i realize that, but think of the tan i would get if i didn't. anyway, you could have me wear a hat any time.

should i sing you to sleep? i'm certain you'd strangle me before the end, but it doesn't mean i'm not willing to try something new.

[casimir]

i don't know, i like being the golden beauty in this relationship.

do you think about me strangling you often?

[mislay]

i won't steal your title. you'd look better anyway.

not often. only when i'm feeling particularly adventurous.

[casimir]

it's appreciated.

i have some wonderful silk ties that would lend themselves well to the opportunity.

speaking of silk ties, i need you to dress up and accompany me somewhere. the sea snakes are throwing a soiree and it would be rude of me to turn down their invitation. not to mention they might try to chop off my head if i do.

[mislay]

you'd rather use silk instead of your hands? i'm not surprised.

tell me when this party is, and i'll make arrangements. i'm fond of your head where it is, so i'd rather avoid any chances you might have of losing it.

[casimir]

only the best silks for you. i had some imported from my country and this is as good of a use as any.

don't make any rash decisions, but they're throwing it at the bleeder den. the swanky one. there are quite a few addicts in the sea snakes.

[mislay]

i'm sure you could find better uses for something as nice as that.

i do have some self-control, you know. i promise to be on my best behavior and not embarrass you.

[casimir]

maybe a blindfold or something to tie your hands with.

you have more self-control than i'd prefer. i think causing a scene would keep things interesting.

[mislay]

tie my hands if you must, but i want to see your face.

causing a scene would draw too much attention to me, and i want to avoid that. anyway, it's a party. i'm sure there are plenty of things to keep you occupied there.

[casimir]

well, i can hardly blame you.

you'll have at least a little attention. you're my date, after all, and i don't like to feel as if people aren't looking at me. but they do have a habit of bringing live snakes to the party, so i'll have some competition.

[mislay]

not so much that i can't control the situation. you know that.

is that really all you're worried about?

[casimir]

it's a party, larus. you don't have to control everything. besides, i'll hear if anything is about to go wrong.

no. but it's easier to worry about what i'm going to wear than everything else.

[mislay]

i don't WANT to control everything, but there are circumstances i would rather avoid. it doesn't mean i'm not going to have a good time.

you look good no matter what you wear. don't worry too much.

[casimir]

good, because i want to make out with you by the harbor once the bonfire starts.

i know. speaking of that, would you like me to have something tailored for you?

[mislay]

i suppose i'll keep that slot open for you. i would hate to be the person who interrupts your plans.

if you don't want to see my jacket, then you might want to consider it. [ But he still might just wear his jacket anyway. ]

[casimir]

i like that you know me so well.

i'm fond of the jacket. but i'm also interested in dressing you up. do you have an aversion to silver or is that just the wolves?

[mislay]

you know you could dress me up any time. [ Or undress him. ]

i can handle silver, but i don't need to wear it... unless it's a new style i know nothing about it.

[casimir]

i'm so pleased to have the honor. is this something you give out freely or am i special?

no one NEEDS to wear silver but i think it would look lovely against your skin.

[mislay]

i think you already know the answer to that. but i can say it if you prefer to hear it.

if you have it, i'll wear it. nothing excessive though.

[casimir]

i always prefer to hear it from you, since i don't know what you're really thinking. which is still such a drag, you know, but in a way strangely exhilarating.

of course you will. and i would only ever consider the most tasteful of looks for you.

[mislay]

i don't give anything freely. the only way you're going to have something from me is with my permission, but there are always exceptions to that rule.

i look forward to it. if you need anything, just say so.

[casimir]

you're so insistent. it's cute. need i remind you of your impending surrender of your carefully laid plans for yourself?

do you think a crown would be too much? for me, of course.
