[ steph is going to drag belph to some secluded location?? hopefully there are no stairs involved here.

but as soon as they're alone, she'll start digging through her pockets. ]

First of all, Varian received our note. They leave them on the bed, apparently, which seems a little risky but whatever. He thinks the Historians sent it to him.

I would be very concerned about what kind of character she is if she picked me.

[vigilantics]

Maybe she loves your sense of humor?

[axilium]

Yeah, and that'd be worrying.

[vigilantics]

But it means you'd have a better chance of wooing her and having her give us the answer to every question ever.

[axilium]

What, are you saying I should write a love letter to Beauty?

[vigilantics]

...

I wasn't before but now I definitely am.

[axilium]

[he pauses, before taking in a breath.]

"Dear Beauty, o gracious being of unspecified gender:

I am but a humble Narrator in this stupid, flaming shi—I mean, I am but a humble Narrator in this slightly convoluted and messed up war. I have received word that you have cast your sights upon others not I, and oh, it breaks my heart. Am I unworthy? Am I not fit to feast my eyes upon the words that you have written?

Truly, it would brighten my day like no other were I to hear from you. No, it would brighten my entire week!

Namely because I'm really desperate. Please don't kill me. Bye and thanks."

[vigilantics]

[ she stares at him, blinking once, then twice.

...

and then steph just bursts out laughing. ]

[axilium]

[ :) ]

I did my best.

[vigilantics]

I'm sure that will make anyone swoon, especially Beauty.

[axilium]

I will literally send that exact letter if you don't have anything better.

[vigilantics]

No, we are definitely sending this.

[ 1. they're not even sure if it works and 2. if it does work it'll be worth it ]

[axilium]

Just remember that you agreed to this.

[and off he heads to the owlery bye steph.]

[vigilantics]

[

DON'T DITCH HER THIS IS RUDE ]

[axilium]

[SHOULDN'T HAVE BROKEN YOUR LEG!!

anyway he'll return shortly.]

And done!

[vigilantics]

[ oh thank god because she was not sure how long she would have to wait here. ]

Well! There is no way that this won't backfire spectacularly on us.

[axilium]

It was your idea.

[belph it was literally all yours]

[vigilantics]

And we once again have another example of you trying to drag me down in your treachery...

[axilium]

You encouraged me. That makes you guilty by association, doesn't it?

[vigilantics]

I am a very pure and innocent soul.

[ she manages to say that with a straight face. ]

[axilium]

[he just scoffs.]

[vigilantics]

[ she's going to try to reach over and flick him on the nose again :/ ]

[axilium]

[ :/ ]

See? You're assaulting me.

[vigilantics]

What? No.

It's... a love tap.

[axilium]

That wasn't even a tap.
