I will have to sit through no less than three separate lectures if we choose unwisely. Yes, it does matter.

[sanguineus]

Three lectures? Oh dear. It seems like someone's got you on a short leash.

Or someONEs, I should say.

[baddragoon]

I could almost that think you're intending to start a fight with me.

[sanguineus]

Merely an observation, darling.

You don't strike me as someone who enjoys restraints. Am I wrong?

[baddragoon]

You'd be correct. However, I've been reliably informed that friends and comrades aren't there to serve as shackles.

[sanguineus]

Oh all placed with the best of intentions, I'm sure. As friends are want to do.

But it can be a little chaffing at times, can't it?

[baddragoon]

[ Can it? ]

It might, had they ever refused to let me go. But no, I am free to roam.

[ They check in on him in their own ways: G'raha, with his sandwiches; Aria with her frequent messages. But it never chafes. ]

However, you speak as though from experience.

[sanguineus]

[ That's how it starts. You think it's messages and sandwiches but they're going to want something from you eventually. ]

And yet they lecture you on your choices if they disagree? That doesn't exactly sound like freedom.

I've had some restrictions placed on me in the past. But not here. And I intended to keep it that way.

[baddragoon]

All this so that you might start a fight with whomever you wish.

[sanguineus]

What can I say? I like the freedom of choice. It adds a certain spice to life. A variety, if you will.

Nothing quite like a bout to get the blood pumping, you know.

[ Heh, blood. ]

[baddragoon]

Then, with the freedom of choice, who might you pick? To get your blood pumping.

[sanguineus]

It had been more my intention to watch some others squabble violently amongst themselves. But you do make for good sport.

1/2

[baddragoon]

Now, that is a good choice. I'll be there shortly.

[baddragoon]

Try to be dressed before I get there this time.

[sanguineus]

Well now you ruined the surprise.
