I'm sure you'll find something to keep you entertained.

Have you met Dorian's mortal? He's a twitchy thing.

[hexploits]

I haven't.
But he must be quite entertaining himself for Dorian to keep him around so long.

[occultatum]

Dorian's more patient than he pretends to be.

[hexploits]

If he wasn't, I imagine he'd have disavowed you by now.

[occultatum]

some people just have a lot of patience with me

[hexploits]

Only because you know how to make yourself so useful.

[ Prudence's version of flirting. ]

[occultatum]

You're the one who looks so pretty when she has her claws exactly where she wants them

[hexploits]

There you go again.

[ Useful. And she missed this-- it's been a while since they really had "license" to flirt properly (not that that really ever stopped them). ]

But indulge me, Nicky. So that I know what I should be expecting.
What exactly do you see in this mortal? Besides yourself?

[occultatum]

What makes you think I see myself?

[hexploits]

I was making a joke like mortals do.
Have you not heard that one?

[ Mortal boys are stupid, so Prudence has probably heard this one about a thousand times. ]

They say "I see myself in you. That is, I would like to."
I think it's their idea of a double entendre.

[occultatum]

How do any mortal boys have any sex at all?

[hexploits]

Sadly, mortal girls don't seem to be much smarter.

[occultatum]

Well, not as smart as witches, I'll grant you that.

[hexploits]

It isn't their fault. Nobody is as smart as witches.
