[gosh, who are we mad at!]

Well, now you'll have to explain it to me again. Start at the beginning.

[summonere]

[ Himself! Duh! ]

I can't be that vulnerable and succeed at anything I'm trying to accomplish.

[ He means vulnerable to stupid faerie spells, but maybe he secretly kind of means to love too. ]

[takeroot]

[V, no, that is the opposite of productive? Besides, Constantin is fairly sure that even powerful people have feelings, or off days with magic stuff--]

Are you sure?

[summonere]

No.

[ Currently unsure about many things. ]

[takeroot]

Fair enough. Still, I hardly think an errant rose petal is going to ruin all of your plans.

[summonere]

It certainly complicates them.

[takeroot]

In my experience, nothing is actually simple. Except perhaps giving up.

You can only worry so much!

[summonere]

That is not true.

[ Don't impugn his ability to overthink everything. Don't you dare. ]

[takeroot]

V, be reasonable.

[Take a nap? Eat a real meal?]

[summonere]

I'm trying.

[ Emotions are difficult. ]

I couldn't bear to be without you, and I can still feel it every time I'm reminded of it.

[ Which isn't so hard when you have a fresh little tattoo exactly intended to remind you of it. ]

[takeroot]

[Ah, hm. Oh. A feelings hangover? He doesn't know how enchantments work, exactly...]

Well

That will pass with time?

[summonere]

[ Emotional flashbacks. ]

Supposedly.

What are you going to do if I break that promise.

[takeroot]

I suppose that depends on what you do, exactly.

[Like, they probably can't be friends anymore if V tries to kill him, for example. Please don't.]

[summonere]

To trade my humanity for power? There's options enough in this world.

[takeroot]

Surely it doesn't have to be one or the other.

[summonere]

Surely? It wasn't so hard to turn me into a lovesick idiot. Maybe next it will be a monster.

[ Oh. Is this the control freak finally freaking out. ]

[takeroot]

[Oh, yep, there it is. He knew it was coming, and yet!]

Then perhaps you should arrange an emergency policy of sorts. Griffon, maybe...?

[summonere]

[ Uhm! Actually a stellar idea. ]

Griffon can't do anything against me, none of the familiars can.

But the Warlock could, and he might not kill me in the process. I should prepare something you could use as an offering.

[takeroot]

[As always, Griffon disappoints him.]

Me? Shall I add a polite note?

[How does one make an offering! He's never tried.]

[summonere]

I trust you. You can get Hakuno for help, if you need it.

Sometimes they know just from your wish when you place the item in their offering bowl. A note doesn't hurt.

[takeroot]

Alright. I will figure it out, but I hope I do not need to.

Do you suppose this is a new promise, or an addition to the other one?

[Should he check for more tattoo flowers.]

[summonere]

I don't know. Between the pacts and everything else, I don't always notice immediately.

[ He has... a lot of tattoos. ]

[takeroot]

If I find another by some accident, I will let you know to check.

[There are... only two people he keeps getting into these promises with, after all. It can be only so many options.]

[summonere]

I'm sorry about that.

[ About that flower. About being a needy controlling wreck for days at a time. ]

[takeroot]

It's alright. I am merely glad you feel like yourself again.

[Dramatics aside... or, well, dramatics expected, but mmm.]
