Nothing has changed from before you know.

[Frau wasn't sure why Fai thought that it had, but he wouldn't question it. After all, Fai didn't know everything. He likely never would know everything even though he already knew far more than he should.]

I'll be fine. If it gets to the point where I need you, I know how to find you.

[reflectedstasis]

[With a quick flick of lashes, Fai checked those sitting near Frau, then leaned the rest of the way across the bar to murmur just enough for only Frau to hear.]

But will you be able to get to me in time? After all, last time I was only in the other room... and that one had been a rather close call as well.

[A beat.]

I'm offering you a safeguard, Frau, nothing more and no questions asked.

[ibreakrules]

You can't seal it away permanently. I need it, and I'll need it even more when I get home.

[For him, it's still a when. It has to be a when. He's needed at home.]

I don't think you could really do anything that would work for awhile anyway. Even Lab has to redo the seals constantly.

[reflectedstasis]

[Frau was right, of course - sealing away such a weapon entirely would probably do more harm than good, no matter Fai's intention.

That he needed to be reminded that also brought back one simple fact into sharp relief: His wasn't the kind of magic that helped any more than it could heal.

His was the kind of magic that could only ever destroy.

He was getting to lax if he'd needed such a blatant reminder - which is why he smiles his perfectly friendly smile and waves a hand before reaching for another bottle.]

My, my - I really want to meet this Lab person one day! He sounds like an interesting kind of fellow! [And he's grinning as he adds teasingly:] Is he as questionable a person as you~?

[ibreakrules]

[Frau may not have been feeling 100% himself, but he wasn't so down that he couldn't pick up such an obvious change in Fai. He was hiding things. Or Frau had touched something he shouldn't have. Probably both, really.

Once again though, Frau didn't push. He had his own moments like that. If Fai wanted to talk, he would talk.]

Questionable? Lab? No. The only thing about him that's questionable is his choice of sleeping locations and some of his "friends."

[reflectedstasis]

Is that because you're one of those friends?

[Fai grinned with the quick retort, then poured several shots and stepped away from Frau. He set them down before several of his regulars a few seats down, stood there a moment joking and flirting, that same easy, friendly smile there on his lips before he shifted back to his friend with a wave and a promise to come back to them soon.

Once he was there, he began cutting lemons on the work-surface behind the bar.]

So is that place you work as bad as this one with the customer clientele?

[ibreakrules]

[Frau growled softly at that first comment and glared after Fai as he disappeared. Even when Fai asked another question upon his return, Frau wouldn't just let the first one go. It deserved an answer.]

No to both. Labrador's friends consist of plants with teeth, dammit. And Purgatory isn't as bad on the surface as here, though the customers can be just as demanding.

[reflectedstasis]

Plants... with teeth?

[Fai blinks a bit at that, his expression mildly perplexed as he tried to imagine it, then shook his head and dropped his gaze back to the lemons.]

Your world sounds like an interesting place, Frau.

[ibreakrules]

Yeah, plants with teeth. He thinks they are adorable little pets.

[Little pets that would probably enjoy eating Frau if he gave them the chance. Frau reaches for his drink and finishes it off in a long swallow before setting the empty glass back down on the bar with a light clink.]

[reflectedstasis]

How very strange - tell me...

[Glancing up, he kept his expression perfectly neutral as he deadpanned.]

If they eat other flowers, are they considered carnivores, or herbivores?

[ibreakrules]

[Sorry, Fai, Frau has an easy answer for that.]

Carnivores. They don't eat other flowers.

[reflectedstasis]

[He's just going to blink at Frau now.]

Plants that eat... people? Really?

[ibreakrules]

They could certainly do it if Labrador asked them to.

[reflectedstasis]

[Fai can only blink at that little tid-bit of information. A man - another Bishop, as he recalls - that can command carnivorous plants at will to eat people.

...Just what kind of religious order does his friend belong to?

Fai's not really sure he wants the answer, now. Still. He smiles and leans in, slouches over the bar a bit before he props his chin on the back of a hand.]

I dare say that you lot are the oddest sounding men working for a religious order I've ever heard of. I bet your life back homes isn't a dull one, huh?

[ibreakrules]

It would be a lot better if Castor just let me be.

[He'll gladly just read his porn in peace and quiet, thank you. Getting constantly hit isn't fun.]

I wouldn't mind avoiding mass more often either.

[Frau shrugged again and leaned back in his chair. From his viewpoint, the church wasn't all that weird. After all, he was the one that didn't fit in. Lab, Castor, and Lance might be a bit off, but the rest of the clergy had no complaints about them.]

You're the only one that seems to think anyone besides me is odd, you know.
