SIX. [Accidental Voice/Action]

[xelhes]

[The post begins with a soft, scarcely audible thump: the falling journal's trip from atop a table was cushioned by landing on something soft. It was still jarring enough to flip it open and begin recording, though. The light is just dim enough that one could probably tell that there is a candle atop the table that Fenimore is trying to steady

[And as Adell flips through his journal, he hears the squeaking of the rubber ducky. ...And accidentally, his own journal begins a transmission.]

Huh? What was that?

[Voice]

[xelhes]

Oh~? You're trying to set terms on it now, huh? You can't be that sorry. [She's kidding, though. She wasn't planning on letting it be too extreme.]

[Voice]

[vulcanblazer]

[And he'll kid right back.]

Hey, it's not like I said it's only redeemable on a Tuesday. I think it's a perfectly reasonable request!

[Voice]

[xelhes]

[Maybe there is something to this bubble bath and scented candle combo, because she wouldn't have expected to be relaxed enough to banter with a guy while in the bath even if he can't see her. But she carries on.]

A favour from a voyeur is supposed to be a punishment! It's a way for justice to be served without me telling your girlfriend what you've been up to. [Not that she has any idea if he even has anything approaching a love life.]

[Voice]

[vulcanblazer]

Well, I do spend too much time talking about justice sometimes. So it looks like we're going to have to go with the favor thing, then. Don't have a girlfriend here.

[Technically. He may or may not know enough women to qualify as a harem-anime protagonist as it is. Dammit, Adell.]

Got anything in mind, or are you just going to call this in at a later date?

[Voice]

[xelhes]

[She could just spread the rumour through his harem to try to cause equal trouble. But no need to mention that when she doesn't know how many women he knows.]

I think I'll save it for when I need it. I'll think of something special--don't worry.

[Voice]

[vulcanblazer]

I'll keep that in mind. Guess it's incentive to stay on your good side, then!

[Voice]

[xelhes]

Hmmm. Perhaps I should hold this over your head for a while, then.

[Voice]

[vulcanblazer]

Maybe I should stop putting my foot in my mouth too. That'd probably help.

[...She's being a pretty good sport about this whole thing. Which is a relief, honestly. And if they can look back on this and laugh instead, all the better.]

[Voice]

[xelhes]

No, please, continue to put your foot in your mouth. I don't mind.

[Since he just saw her arm, they certainly can look back on this and laugh! That is, if you mean they can look back on this and laugh when she's the one making the jokes. If Adell tries to make a joke or even mention it when she doesn't want to, he'll find her to be much less of a good sport.]

[Voice]

[vulcanblazer]

[He's used to dealing with plenty of people like that. ...Because that's pretty much exactly how Rozalin would react to this sort of thing. Odds are, he won't be bringing this up again. He'd rather forget this happened for the most part.]

No, no. Honestly, I don't think the taste of shoes will be a delicacy for anyone anytime soon.

[Voice]

[xelhes]

[Very good, Adell. You may yet survive.]

I'm not going to stop you from taking off your shoes if you would rather.
