CXXI.

Yesterday was an annoying interruption to my work. I ended up looking at plans for something powered by rubbing rabbit fur across amber rods. Ridiculous.

I think I need a break. Fighting, sex, or play, what's it going to be?

Anyone else of a like mind?

Hm...I certainly wouldn't mind a duel. Though I must say that I might have trouble dealing with a younger man!

[dark_butler]

Would that help?

[a_roving_eye]

?!

Ha ha! My, that's certainly an interesting trick, sir! I wish I had the ability to return to my youth once more.

Excellent, then. Where would you prefer to sortie?

[dark_butler]

There is open space between the City and the forest.

..Ever play Scrabble?

[dark_butler]

Scrabble?

Perhaps while I'm recovering from fighting Wrath. If Greed is afraid of him, I expect it will be challenging.

[reaping_havoc]

It's a game. Mostly for people who read a lot.

Wrath?

Oh. Dueling. Right.

Er...Kick his ass, then.

[dark_butler]

I'm familiar with the game. I don't think our worlds are that different.

We'll see. It will definitely be a cure for ennui.

Is it naptime?

[dark_butler]

I'm feeling restless or I would be asleep now. I told Alucard I would keep more nocturnal hours.

[therippling]

I'm sleepy...

[dark_butler]

What keeps you from resting, then?

[banditfox]

After lowering my professional standards yesterday? Yes.

[dark_butler]

How did you manage that?

[banditfox]

While you were experimenting with rabbit fur, Kuronoe and I were hiding in the brush, planning to rob a bank in typical Wild West fashion.

Yesterday was a pain in the ass.

[dark_butler]

I would think so. How is your recovery coming?

[browning_baby]

Fairly done. I was able to shift last night thanks to Richard and that took care of the worst of the injuries.
