(no subject)
Rogue: *generally annoyed*
Artamir: *gives her a glass of water* Cool down. ¬.¬
Rogue: *sips and looks sulky*
Artamir: ....*sighs* what's the matter?
Rogue: he shoved me in a cell!
Artamir: Yes, I heard about that.
Rogue: and that is what is the matter.
Artamir: *pats* Perhaps that was a little drastic, but you should know not to hand out drugs to people.
Rogue: Hey, Aramdir knew it wasn't candy. >.>
Artamir: Doesn't mean you should still have given it to him.
Rogue: I like enabling.
Artamir: Well, next time, don't. Nor to Theo, please.
Rogue: oh fine.
Artamir: Thank you. *pats her head*
Rogue: *stops sulking a bit*
Artamir: *offers her candy*
Rogue: *sniffs it suspiciously* *eats*
Artamir: Feel better?
Rogue: *nods*
Artamir: Good. I hear the kitchen staff is a hearty crew, if you wanted something to do. ¬.¬
Rogue: I think I've been banned from weapon use.
Artamir: You don't have to have weapons for fun.
Rogue: then? >.>
Artamir: ¬.¬ I'm sure you've learnt other types of fun from Theo. Of course, you didn't hear me suggest you to create mischief. You came up with that yourself.
Rogue: may I commit mischief at Aramdir?
Artamir: Aramdir is off limits. Unless you want to deal with Arvedui afterwards.
Rogue: damn
Artamir: *pats* Anyone else you have in mind?
Rogue: well, you just gave me candy so I'm striking you off the list for a bit.
Artamir: Oh, thank you! ...¬.¬ Of course, my baby is totally off limits, at all times.
Rogue: ¬.¬ curses. foiled again.
Artamir: Try again. *smiles and pets* Why don't you play outside for a while?
Rogue: there might be orcs in the bushes.
Artamir: ...I doubt it.
Rogue: ¬.¬
Artamir: Okay, I'll go with you. If there are orcs, I'll take care of them.
Rogue: orcs bad
Artamir: Yes, yes they are. *pats his sword* I have a weapon to protect you if needed.
Rogue: *makes little dandelion chains and grass nooses* >.>
Artamir: *sits on the side and watches her*
Rogue: *searches for rabbits*
Artamir: Don't go too far now.
Rogue: *darts back after seeing something wargish*
Artamir: Are you okay?
Rogue: I think I'll just stay here. With the flowers.
Artamir: Is there something out there?
Rogue: a really ugly dog or a warg. *finds clover*
Artamir: Ah. Want me to go check?
Rogue: >.> yes.
Artamir: All right. *goes to the bushes and looks around* .....!!! *reaches in quickly*
Rogue: *peeks after* o.o what is it?
Artamir: I found something! *wiggles his arm around in the bush and struggles, then pulls it out quickly*
Rogue: kill it! Kill it!
Artamir: *waves it around, held by the ears* It's just a rabbit, Rogue.
Rogue: ...kill it!
Artamir: ...¬.¬ Turn around.
Rogue: *turns*
Artamir: *pulls out his sword and makes a whacking sound, letting the bunny get away while she's turned around, then shoves things into the bush*
Rogue: yay!
Artamir: Glad to help.
Rogue: *hugs and darts off back to her clover bouquet*
Artamir: *goes back to his seat and keeps an eye on her*
Rogue: *adds more weeds to it*
Artamir: What are you making there?
Rogue: just a bunch of flowers. I'll find something to stick them in when we go back inside.
Artamir: Ah. Going to give it to anyone?
Rogue: 's just for my room. It's all empty and boring.
Artamir: You don't have any decorations?
Rogue: nope.
Artamir: Perhaps that should be your new project.
Rogue: I should get paint!
Artamir: ....okay, as long as you don't paint any other room.
Rogue: *beams* okay
Artamir: I hope Arvedui doesn't kill me. >.<
Rogue: *offers him a clover*
Artamir: Thank you. *sticks it in his shirt*
Rogue: *goes to collect some tiny white flowers*
Artamir: What color do you want to paint your room?
Rogue: green. and pink.
Artamir: *blinks* er, if that's what you want. ¬.¬
Rogue: *nods*
Artamir: Don't ever let any guests in your room. ¬.¬
Rogue: why?
Artamir: ...no reason. ¬.¬
Rogue: the guards like visiting my room. *nods and picks some mustard*
Artamir: o.o You let the guards in your room?
Rogue: yes?
Artamir: To do what? o.o
Rogue: is this too yellow? *holds up the mustard*
Artamir: No, not really. Back to my question, what do the guards do in your room?
Rogue: *adds some foxtail* stuff.
Artamir: What sort of stuff?
Rogue: you ask a lot of questions
Artamir: Yes, I do. Now give me an answer.
Rogue: stuff stuff.
Artamir: That's not an answer. Be more specific.
Rogue: don't wanna
Artamir: Should I go tell Theo, and let him deal with it, then?
Rogue: ...>.> no
Artamir: Then tell me.
Rogue: I'm done talking. I think I should go inside now.
Artamir: Nope. *holds her in place*
Rogue: *glares*
Artamir: *keeps a grip on her* Explain to me what this "stuff" is that the guards do in your room, my dear.
Rogue: *keeps her mouth closed*
Artamir: *sighs* Well, if that's how you want to play, let's go get Theo. ¬.¬
Rogue: >.< No Theo!
Artamir: Then give me an answer I can work with!
Rogue: you don't need to work with anything!
Artamir: ....that means an answer that I'm comfortable with. ¬.¬ The truth.
Rogue: I want to go back inside now. ;_;
Artamir: >.< Fine. Go inside.
Rogue: *runs off*
Artamir: *goes to find Theo*
Theo: *playing with Hygd*
Artamir: Do you know that Rogue lets the guards into her room to do "stuff"? ¬.¬ This worries me.
Theo: er. I didn't.
Artamir: Well. What do we do about it?
Theo: tell her to stop? Or tell Arvedui what his guards are up to.
Artamir: She wasn't listening to me when I tried getting stuff out of her.
Theo: okay, telling Arvedui.
Artamir: Good idea. ¬.¬ You tell him.
Theo: why me?
Artamir: Just because.
Theo: mn. Fine.
Artamir: *kisses*
Theo: *kisses back and goes*
Arvedui: I hear Artamir got you to promise not to give Aramdir drugs anymore.
Rogue: well, agree. Not promise.
Arvedui: Good enough.
Rogue: he wanted them!
Arvedui: So? What he wants and what is good for him are rarely the same thing.
Rogue: besides, Hanild paid me to make your lives hell.
Arvedui: How much?
Rogue: bunch of gold coins...
Arvedui: How many?
Rogue: twenty, I think.
Arvedui: Oh, good. Would you take twenty-five to not make our lives hell?
Rogue: I dunno, that's doublecrossing an employer.
Arvedui: Yes, but you should be on risk-pay now, seeing as I haven't even introduced you to the full capacities of my dungeon, so she's probably breaking some union kaw of some sort. This is compensation and an offer for better employment conditions.
Rogue: You wouldn't really torture me...
Arvedui: Oh, how well you know me based on all the years we've spent in each other's company! *SARCASM* ¬.¬
Rogue: oh. so you like torturing young girls. Good to know.
Rogue: poor Hygd.
Arvedui: Like? Oh, no, but traitors against me and mine deserve special treatment. >:|
Rogue: *glare*
Arvedui: *glares back*
Rogue: it was fun slapping you :D
Arvedui: I'm sure it was. Do it again and you'll be seeing a lot more of that cell I locked you in last time. 'A lot' probably translating into years >:|
Rogue: you deserved it.
Arvedui: Perhaps, but so do you.
Rogue: do not.
Arvedui: You do. Poisoning a prince is considered high treason and is punishable by death. The swiftness thereof depends on the fowlness of the deed.
Rogue: I didn't poison him and he took them on purpose.
Arvedui: You offered.
Rogue: so? I didn't make him.
Rogue: you might as well go arrest all the bars that have served him too.
Arvedui: You say that as if it should be a new idea for me.
Rogue: I hate you so much.
Arvedui: The feeling is mutual, no doubt.
Rogue: and I'm glad Theo does too.
Arvedui: *pauses, ponders* So am I. *nod*
Rogue: >.< you're horrible and stupid and just like my father.
Arvedui: ........ .... ... .... ..... *pales* o.o!
Rogue: *storms off*
Arvedui: *remains standing there, the embodiment of shock*
Theo: er, Arvedui? Artamir wants me to tell you something about your guards that I don't fully understand.
Arvedui: *starts as if from a dream, blinks several times as his brain tries to catch up with his ears* Hmm?
Theo: something about them in Rogue's room and an undefined 'stuff'
Arvedui: I don't suppose you remember the exact wording?
Theo: 'the guards keep going into Rogue's room and doing stuff and will you go tell Arvedui'
Arvedui: ...*raised eyebrow* What kind of 'stuff'?
Theo: don't know.
Arvedui: Let's go and see what this is all about. *distracted tone, but he manages to at least start walking in the right direction*
Theo: well, Rogue didn't seem willing to answer any of Artamir's questions so...
Arvedui: Yes, yes. *reaches Rogue's room, with Theo following him*
Rogue: *slams the door in his face*
Arvedui: Ah. Theo, would you kindly go in and ask her what this is all about?
Theo: Rogue? Can I come in?
Rogue: NO. YOU AND YOUR STUPID STALKER CAN GO AWAY
Arvedui: I do not stalk. ¬.¬
Theo: no comment.
Arvedui: Yes, well, she seems fine, so there must be nothing to worry about. ¬.¬
Theo: well. Artamir wa concerned.
Arvedui: I'll talk to him about it later.
Theo: *nods and goess off to play with Hygd some more*
Arvedui: *stalks off to his room to brood*
Theo: *returns* he dragged me to Rogue's room, she yelled at him and then he said 'no problem here'.
Artamir: e.e Well. all right.
Theo: of course, all she yelled was that she wanted him to go away and he didn't ask her a single thing...
Theo: so take it as you will
