second mark // accidental video/teneka (night)

[The video clicks on to show a nice, wide view of Elijah's room; he doesn't seem to know or notice it's on, but fortunately, he also doesn't seem to be doing anything scandalous. He steps down from a chair in the center of the room, his back to the camera, and glances up at the ceiling.]

That should do it, there... An' now the door...

[He crosses

[Kirachi's watching all of this with a hint of an amused smirk on her face, and at his final statements she has to try her hardest to keep herself from cracking up.]

Is it possible for you to get any more paranoid? I doubt any of that's really necessary.

[feycarved]

[Well, fantastic. Ignoring whatever responses he gets would probably only make things look worse, but...]

I doubt you'd be sayin' that if you knew what kinda folk were livin' in this house.

[xfire_birdx]

You did mention the devil... [Yep, still trying not to crack up.] That's intriguing, if you mean that literally. Maybe you should invite him in for tea. Have a nice little conversation about mindfucking people into oblivion.

[feycarved]

Can't say I'm all that interested in makin' his acquaintance much more'n I already have. Ain't much a fan of tea, neither.

[xfire_birdx]

That's rather boring. So, you actually believe what you're doing is going to protect you from anything?

[feycarved]

It damn well better, 'least when I get 'em all finished up.

[xfire_birdx]

What makes you think anyone would bother going after you, specifically? There are better things to waste time on in this place, I'm sure. Unless you're going around provoking others...

... Is it just the devil you're trying to keep out, or...?

[feycarved]

I ain't too keen on goin' into the reasons why where it might be overheard, if that's all right with you. Suffice it to say I've had enough people after me back home that sure as hell didn't think it was a waste of time. [And no, he's not addressing the second part of that.]

[xfire_birdx]

Just because you're relevant enough for this to be necessary back home doesn't mean the same will happen here.

[She notices the ignoring of her last question, Elijah. And that just makes her more curious.]

You didn't answer my question, either.

[feycarved]

Ain't too keen on takin' my chances with that, neither.

Good to know you're the type that pays attention, then.

[xfire_birdx]

Not paying attention isn't exactly a safe trait to have. Is there any particular reason you're avoiding the subject?

[feycarved]

Let's just say I feel it might be better worth my while not to mention certain things behind his back.

[xfire_birdx]

Everything I want to say to that, I've already stated. So, ah, have fun with your paranoia, then. Hopefully that magic helps prevent the unlikely.

[feycarved]

Here's hopin' it will.

[xfire_birdx]

By the way... Do you need anyone to, ah, test your barriers?

[Is that a sadistic smirk finding its way onto her face? You bet. Is she still way too amused by this? Very likely.]

[feycarved]

If I get to needin' that, I'll be sure an' put the word out.
