[well, dear absinthe, you're getting an unsolicited text]

Jason: so
Jason: i thought about it
Jason: & i'm not all that happy with how our last conversation left off
Jason: so, feels like we should continue it

Absinthe: Really
What would you like to discuss, in particular?

Jason: don't like how i approached it last time
Jason: felt a little impersonal
Jason: half cocked, ig.

[now, he sends the picture of Emet, unconscious and tied up.]

Jason: so, did a little planning.

[ there's a few long moments before the next reply comes. ]

Absinthe: Truly now.
This is remarkably idiotic, even for you
I don't know if I am impressed or disappointed

Jason: aw you're gonna get me blushing.

Absinthe: Well-deserved, no?
I must say this is quite a way to start a conversation
Is this where I beg and plead for you to leave him unharmed?

Jason: probably.
Jason: unless you've got a way of finding us.
Jason: could be bad should something happen while we're god knows where.
Jason: lilith knows where?
Jason: well, whichever. you get my point.

Absinthe: Where are you, by chance?
Or are you too shy to have this discussion in person?
I would understand if so

Jason: lucky for you
Jason: shy isn't one of the adjectives i'd use for me.

[he drops a pin in the ~vicinity~ of the museum for now.]

[ he'll show as soon as he can -- though he'll stand outside the entrance first, looking side to side to see if someone's waiting out there, and heading on in if not. ]

[he is waiting. though he looks... unarmed?]

That was quick.

[ he turns, and bows ]

I imagined you would be eagerly anticipating my arrival!

Oh, I coulda killed some time, but seems like the right target was hit.

[ his smiles just grows a tad thinner -- ]

Where is he, if I may ask.

Well, you can ask, but I reserve the right to not tell you.

Very well, then. Where is he?

[he shrugs.]

Can't blame you for asking, but gonna have to say that's my secret, Champ.

My, that's a pity. I'm sure he'll be quite missed at Baritones.

I'm sure. But you know I don't have to be with him to make my point, right?

Fin's powers are so bad for combat. But, y'know. We get our own telepathically linked robo-familiar.

So, just because I'm not there doesn't mean he's safe. Or that you can find him.

Yes, yes. I'm aware I am at a disadvantage in this scenario, believe you me.

So what is the point of all this?

Last time I ran off half cocked. This time, I'm realizing that was never gonna get the point across to you.

And I thought about just letting it happen and seeing how long it'd take you to notice. But that's just not sporting.

I must thank you for your interest in keeping things fair.

Though if you're hoping for me to express my regrets, or apologize, you will be sorely disappointed.

I figured you wouldn't.

But it's no skin off my back, since you've made it clear I hit where it hurts.

[ sigh! ]

I can hardly imagine how miss Glacies stands you.

Well, if you're not in the mood to discuss handing him over, I wish you luck in concealing this little game. And in handling his tempter when he awakens, or revives, or what have you.

I can't imagine either.

Anyway, depends on how in the mood you are to offer something. Rather than vaguely threaten me.

No trying to cut off my tongue again?
