Glacies Nox Fleuret: I did not wish pep to see.
Glacies Nox Fleuret: They among others have enough reasons to quarrel with you. My life is not to be counted among them.

[the oppressive heat of summer rising suddenly is the only sign that she is present, going to just be standing outside atop some lower scale building with her trident]
[by the time she gets there, he's already waiting outside, definitely dressed like he's on fin now, and not bede. but he looks up.]
Absinthe: Then it was only him present, if I am taking your meaning correctly?
Glacies Nox Fleuret: It was. Are you expecting yet more retaliation?
Absinthe: I am not -- most here are not quite so reckless in any case, about how they choose to exact their "vengeance"
There are countless others I would prefer to be keeper of, but you charge me with minding him and his machinations. Is this not so?
[doing a twirl of her trident to get it under her arm]

That what you think the next step is from here?

Glacies Nox Fleuret: I cannot hide my ire at what you wrought. To use my life to serve your ends.
Glacies Nox Fleuret: But it was not my king, and I cannot deny that I am grateful for that.

You questioned the safety of others. What course of action is there to arrive at?
Absinthe: Are you insulted, then, that he took this mission upon himself? Or touched?
Why would that be your responsibility in the first place?
[there's a soft exhale.]
You wanna be done with him, don't you?
[there's a soft exhale.]
You wanna be done with him, don't you?
Glacies Nox Fleuret: Why do you ask?
Why would it not? You feel the same pull as I do.
[swallows, stiffening up]
My life is bound to his as much as the king's. My only hope is that I am not chosen to become him.

Absinthe: Personal curiosity about what sort of company you choose to keep
You can disregard the question if you would like

Glacies Nox Fleuret: Would you be willing to speak in person? In order to receive an answer.

Chosen to become him?
[tell him that's another case of them speaking differently, because.]
What do you want?

[holding her arm out, flexing hard enough to let miasma start wafting in the air but not strongly at all]
We both were given the gift of being able to absorb the scourge. I was instructed to kill that which gods could not slay, the brother of our founder king. There is no question that my body will hold more darkness than his if we follow fate's predestination, and there is no prayer nor divine act that will be my salvation.
What I desire is for you to not come near nor harm Ardyn Lucis Caelum once more. I would have your continued friendship as well, but you are determined once more to rebuff all friendly advances.

If I "rebuffed friendly advances", you'd know it without a doubt. [his voice is-- very cold. all pretense of snark and sarcasm dropped in totality.] There's only two other people who know as much about my life as you do. And one of them's my brother.
And that isn't what you want. That's what you think you have to do, because of all this fate bullshit.
What do you actually what?

My duty is my desire! I want to protect all those here and save my world from darkness! If there is more I could do to those ends, then speak up! Loud and true!
You sure about that?
There’s a difference between being someone with a heart too big for their own damn good and fate.

Absinthe: Is that something you desire? Or do you feel it is owed?

Glacies Nox Fleuret: It is my desire.
