"Er... yes, okay, I suppose I should tell you that if you're trying to reach me I'm not here, and if you're trying to reach me because you want to do something involving pointy bits of metal or otherwise painful objects, I'm never going to be here. So sorry."

what since when who were you bodyguarding?

[protects_the_small]

Since this Monday, and a....Metube? star? Why they were a star, I don't know. They didn't shine.

[Except when they cried. The tears sure did streak that makeup]

[wizzardly]

why did you join them? is that the only job you'll do for them?

[protects_the_small]

No, I'll probably sign on permanently. I know many of the members, and my assigned job isn't paying for my food and my horse's

[wizzardly]

which members? are you close with them?
it's just I know a few of them too

[protects_the_small]

I know Gregor and Miles, we keep running into each other. Tex as well, and Yuri.

Is there something wrong?

[wizzardly]

you just maybe shouldn't get too deeply involved. surely temporary is working well enough?
why tie yourself down?
you could try other work then on the side and maybe find something better.

[protects_the_small]

What do you know that I don't?

[wizzardly]

[hnnnnnnngh.]

They have an enemy.

[protects_the_small]

and? who?

[wizzardly]

and it's the sort of enemy who might look at anyone closely associated with them as a target.
They really haven't said anything to you?

[protects_the_small]

[A long pause]

Miles mentioned a name I think...it was a while ago, I hadn't thought about it.

[wizzardly]

A name and that's all?

[protects_the_small]

No, he said...that he was a source of evil. Something like a god.

Was he the one at Fanport?

[wizzardly]

that's rather reductive, calling him the source of evil. he's an absolutely dangerous bastard but I wouldn't say he's the reason people drown cats or anything.
he calls himself an angel but god is more apt.


but yes he was there.

[protects_the_small]

Then I met him. He seemed like he wanted to threaten without even knowing who I was.

[wizzardly]

should be a good indicator for how he likes to treat the friends of his enemies.

[protects_the_small]

I'll take care then.


Does this mean the drink is off?

[wizzardly]

and miss the chance to convince you or possibly see you drunk?
not on your life.

[protects_the_small]

I doubt it on both counts, but I would hate to take away anyone's hope.

Till later then

[wizzardly]

right. Just send me the address.

[protects_the_small]

[Attached and so forth]

as I recall you're buying first

[wizzardly]

you've a depressingly keen memory for details.

see you soon.
