voice / text / communion

D's mind is a cacophony of things.

The landscape is shadow and darkness, and it is chilly and reserved where D sits in it; he feels like a simple young man. Quiet, soft, human. But behind the stoicism is a warm, sensual, and elegant sliver of something primordial and powerful. Embracing it is hypnotic, arousing, yet also a little horrifying.

Amidst all of this is something else, too: a craggled and old presence which can be heard on occasion cackling or chattering separately, the crusty voice belonging neither to D or the peculiar entity in the space.

[HAYAME IS ACTUALLY SUCH A SWEET WOMAN (does not tell her this to her face for fear of retribution).]

Not at all. My situation simply seems so much less pressing in comparison. [He thinks he knows what Hayame might say to this maybe. So he adds:] There isn't any need to compare them.

However, I don't think it's necessary to worry very much about mine for now. Since your eye may be compromised, it should be adjusted as quickly as possible.

[No, she is not sweet! She just accused him of insulting her because she couldn't comprehend someone legitimately telling her to put herself first without assuming it was a veiled comment on her ability to handle her own issues or her care for other people!!!!]

...

[Yeah, she was probably going to compare them. Still.]

... Well, I agree. The sooner... the better. As long as it can be done properly.

[Which is where D comes in, but...]

I will be relying on you for this. In case of surveillance, it is best we speak primarily over Communion. Liem Talbott may serve as intermediary when needed.

Once it is done successfully, I would host you at my... home. If that is something you would desire.

[damnpire]

That's alright.

[He gets along with Liem even though he so rudely showed up to Liem's door to talk about how to handle the two of them if they ever turned into a ravenous vampiric beast. Liem isn't a bad man, he doesn't think.

He isn't sure if Hayame means hosting as staying over, or hosting as visiting. Not that he minds the offer for either one. This is why Hayame is a sweet woman. But anyway:]

I am staying at Kim Dokja's house currently. [In case she ever needed him.] But I would not be opposed to visiting, if you'd like.

[He will come visit Hayame!!]

[warmare]

[... No. Liem is not a bad man. Even though she has seen him dead for betraying Meridian, though she had disavowed him until finally demanding he come back to her them... even despite their vicious fight during the Exalt Oracle over the sudden revelation that her so-called friend had been hiding the fact that he drank blood from her...

He is the only one of those so-called friends who wasn't shamelessly continuing to flirt and fraternize with the demon who had tortured her, even after seeing the pain and humiliation it had visited upon her. She will never forget that, even as she wonders... if that is really what friendship is supposed to be.]

Visiting... It is not- It is not about "like", it is about showing gratitude...

[Surely it made sense? She was asking him to do something potentially dangerous, of course she should repay him at least with some fine drink and hosting... ?]

[damnpire]

[Hayame is cute and funny in her attempt to be a socially acceptable person.]

I'll visit after we see to your eye then.

[Hopefully this will spare her from any more fluster. He's getting the impression she is straightforward in all areas. He just has to simply say he will do something and not leave it up to her to decide if it's appropriate when she's already trying her best. That's okay.

Straightforward person to straightforward person communication.]

[warmare]

[Gods, D, she is trying so hard.]

... I will look forward to that day, then.

[... Thanks for the merciful out of straightforward person to straightforward person communication. Yoroshiku ;;]
