Moirallegiance?

I suppose that I am.. [ a pause ] quite glad to hear, my friend.

Who exactly is that young girl?

[manlytear]

It is, ah, a concept from her culture it seems.

She is a troll. I ran into her in the lobby of the MAC building. [More quietly, he adds:] She would not stop pestering me about this.

[grooviestmutant]

A troll? Erik, that is hardly a way to speak about children!

[ He blinks then and looks genuinely quite interested. ]

I cannot help but wonder why she is so concerned for our friendship.

[He blinks for a moment.] That is the preferred name for her species, Charles. [He raises an eyebrow, looking just slightly amused.]

I am not sure, though I do not think it is just us. She seems quite concerned with relationships in general.

[grooviestmutant]

[ Charles looks away, called out and quite embarrassed. ] Ah, oh-well then. I'd not realised.

Relationships in general? She does not discriminate? [ Charles laughs, and seems wholly fascinated by all of this before shaking his head somewhat. ]

[manlytear]

Several minutes ago, she began interrogating a couple at another table about how long they have been dating.

[grooviestmutant]

That is awfully interesting, though I suppose it is in the nature of young girls to be fascinated deeply with such things, hmm?

How did you come to be at this shop along with her?

You ought to bring me ice cream as well, my friend. It is hardly fair that you have it and I do not.

[manlytear]

It is down the street from the MAC. I was stepping out to get a drink and she insisted that we come here.

I intended to. You prefer chocolate, correct?

[grooviestmutant]

You'd have best intended to. [ A teasing smile, before he shakes his head. He's a bit surprised that Erik has chosen to humour him. ]

Yes, chocolate is my favourite.

So it is as if you have your own small daughter, hmm?

[manlytear]

There are quite an extraordinary number of flavors here. It is a bit overwhelming.

[He appears taken aback for just a moment before chuckling.]

I would not go so far as to say that, Charles. You are certainly the more parental one between the two of us.

[grooviestmutant]

There are more flavours?

[ A pause and Charles shakes his head. Ice cream is not the subject here. ]

I suppose you are quite right, Erik. Though that does not mean I do not enjoy seeing you fulfilling the parental role.

[manlytear]

... You do? [He raises an eyebrow at that.]

[grooviestmutant]

It is awfully cute, if you do not mind my saying.

[manlytear]

Cute, Charles?

[grooviestmutant]

Of course. You hardly seem like a parental man, my friend. I think perhaps children would be good for you.

[manlytear]

[He chuckles quite a bit.] I am afraid that Pietro would disagree with you, my friend.
