A Favor I Won't Repay [6 Consimbs 4261]

Vae:"Hiio!"

Me:"A word that many might pronounce as 'hello', but I suppose you needn't fuss too much about that."

Vae:"Would it be easier on me if I said it as 'hello'? I doubt me that as many as one prime in twelve would say of me, 'She may be a nendrai, but she pronounces 'hello' properly, so I shall not fear or dread her!'" She was grinning.

Me:"For a horrid ravening monster, you're certainly picking up courtly wit!" Actually her wit is more than a little limp by court standards, but one must make allowances. Considering that she never has and never will actually see the court.

Vae:"So what is it you bring me for my exceedingly valuable hethica and licorice roots?"

I had brought her some sausage-and-watercress sandwiches and a manual of different kinds of world-tree bark.

Vae:"Your gifts and kind words have wholly seduced me!"

Me:Terror. Lots and lots and lots of terror.

Vae:Tailtap. Just one. It ripped through all my defenses of course.

Vae:"Well, not that kind of seduced. It's court talk I'm trying to learn. Welcome to my home, though, Sythyry."

I sort of babbled The Conversation at her. She pointed out that I had agreed to visit her home, so it wasn't entirely suitable for The Conversation.

And then she offered to show me around. I didn't really feel that I was in any position to refuse such an offer.

She made you an offer you couldn't refuse!

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

An offer I couldn't resist. Magic-resist.

[galis.livejournal.com]

Just hope she doesn't ask you to teach her how to kiss!

"Some races are not as we, Vae. Some races have snouts, and lips, and muzzle of many varieies," explains Sythyry with reluctance enough to enter the realm of the epic.

"Then we are needing the many variaties of kissable face!" exclaims the monster.

"Please return my number of heads to one, and my number of lips to zero, Vae," says the mighty kiss-hydra Sythyry.

'All your defenses' being a single complexity-5 spell notable for its utter impracticality?

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

Well, yes.

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

*eep!*

Now, if your ~mother~ had just let you graft the slip to the side spell...
At least if you are writing, you got back? Unless Vae turned you into a pen that only writes its own journal entries.

[terrycloth.livejournal.com]

Yes, let's use Locador against Vae. That will help!

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

She't not quite as bad as a Locador demon, I don't think.

... um ...

Well, a ninth-instar Locador demon at least. Like "Here" or someone.

Vae actually knows about 'that' kind of seduced! Be afraid! And be sure not to bring her any books that could be construed in any way 'exciting'!

...or Impractical Uses of Destroc...

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

That one is probably pretty safe. I'm probably better at Destroc than she is, at least if there's no Mutoc involved.

Interesting -- Vae reasoned with you about her Sythyry-unsanctioned use of magic on you! That's an intellectual turning point for her, I bet. ;)
