The message-- [ there's the audible sound of him slamming his mouth shut. yes, he remembers.

after another brief struggle, the only thing he can manage is: ] "Masochism." [ does he sound appropriately spiteful? god, he hopes so. ]

[miscreant]

[She hums expectantly until he comes out with that word.]

That is one of the words I used, yes. I thought you were curious, since you went through the trouble of messaging me in the first place.

[oversleeps]

It's not the word I'd use. [ WHO DO U THINK HE IS

ASHRAF????? ] Am I supposed to find you being charmed a compliment?

[miscreant]

[No, Ashraf at least stands a chance against her without a weapon.]

Are you not charmed?

[Can't you just hear the way her mouth splits into that awful toothy grin?]

[oversleeps]

I wouldn't say-- [ hngh. ]

Charmed isn't a word I'd use, either. If that's your intent, you're missing the mark.

[miscreant]

You're counting a lot of words out of your vocabulary. Why don't you start telling me some words you would use?

[Not gonna confirm or deny that last part, sry.]

[oversleeps]

[ there is

no good answer

he could possibly give here

(for him, anyway)

the only way to win is not to play at all. hope you like silence, sev. ]

[miscreant]

Nothing? Pity.

[oversleeps]

What do you want?

[ maybe the direct approach will help. ]

[miscreant]

Its not about what I want, is it? I already got what I wanted.

[oversleeps]

Yeah-- the only thing you wanted? Because right now, you're furthering this just as much as I am. [ ... ah. well, there it is. ]

[miscreant]

[There's silence for a moment. If that's true, then she would be disobeying orders by continuing this conversation.

She sighs before she can stop herself, and her tone loses some of its amusement.]

Then I suppose if we have nothing more to say to one another, I will get back to what I was doing, and you can be on your merry way.

[oversleeps]

[ christ, he almost laughs at that. ] Is that what you want?

[miscreant]

[No.]

Well darling, I can't spend my whole evening hovering around the Thames, you know. Somebody will notice, with or without this technology.

[A hint? Maybe. If she can draw him out without directly inviting him, she could not be held responsible.]

[oversleeps]

[ it's bait.

he has no qualms about taking it. ]

I wouldn't think there are too many other places you spend your evenings.

[miscreant]

I do not enjoy crowds. I prefer the mountains to the south.

[oversleeps]

[ there's a distinct pause, before he just says: ]

Noted.

[ and then hangs up on her. ]
