Several. It is best to work from multiple angles after all.

But if you wish to be of help in that regard, perhaps those you speak to regularly might have such concepts as world and dimensional travel you could probe them on. More knowledge is ever useful.

[He stares into the distance for a bit, rifling through the options.]

Hmmm... Apart from our shared acquaintances... I can't really think of anyone off the top of my head, but I'll ask around. It may be simply that the topic has never come up before. Skylark's world has some manner of traversing time, I believe, but not space or borders between worlds...

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Time is also a good resource. In truth the matter of distance is less important than the matter of travelling it in a reasonable time.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

I'll see what I can find out, then.

[He smiles, taking another sip of tea.]

Is there anything else I can help with?

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

I imagine that is enough of an assignment for now, don't you? Between your social engagements and lovers I would not want you to feel too overwhelmed.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

[--alright, that makes him laugh.]

I'll have you know the matter of my lovers is easy enough to organize.

[Have you heard of foursomes]

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Really? Perhaps that is youthful stamina then.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

Well, dreams are helpful things there, too.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

I suppose they are. I assume you have Lily's help there then.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

Usually, yes. Sometimes Absinthe's, though those are normally private encounters.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

I doubt I need the details. I'm simply happy you are energetic and enjoying yourself.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

[Oh this is funny though.]

I mean, I don't mind providing details.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Oh? Could it be you wish to fluster me? I'm not Emet-Selch however, you realize.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

He did back down very quickly when I tried this with him, indeed!

[Oh, but this reminds him.]

Oh, what if you try to fluster me? We played this game with Nero too, but he had absolutely nothing on me. I've yet to tell Vergil his son lost at something.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

I cannot fathom why you would wish to be flustered by an old man.

But you were not too teasing with Nero, I hope?

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

Why indeed.

And, well, he survived! So I think I was fair enough.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Hm. Why indeed. Perhaps your desire for attention, affirmation and affection to combat your existential uncertainties, as well as isolation of your position as an immoral among mortals?

[He takes a sip of tea.]

Well, if he was fine that is fine. But do be kind, Nero has his own hangups and jealousies.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

[Levity pauses, weighing up the analysis. Yep, checks out.]

Those, yes, but also genuine curiosity as to what you think would fluster me. And flirting is a fun way to pass the time, regardless of how serious it is.

And, mm... Well, Jason was there. If I'd said anything that made Nero uncomfortable, I'm certain he'd have nailed me to the wall instantly.

[He chuckles.]

In truth, all I really said was that they're really cute together and I'm happy for them. Apparently, that was enough to make Nero spontaneously combust.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Protective, is he? That is good. Nero deserves such consideration. But that does sound as if it would fluster him.

So, has flirting become your hobby?

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

I know Vergil is not exactly thrilled about Jason being Nero's partner, but I think they truly love each other. Jason is a good, caring man... simply one who's endured too much to love himself or be openly vulnerable. And in that regard he's not much different from many you know, hmm?

[He smiles, and this time instead of a scone he's just... going to eat a spoonful of jam.]

I don't know if I would call it my hobby, but it's fun nonetheless.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

I have never spoken to Jason much about aught but business, but I have had the pleasure of hearing his younger brother rant on his behalf. And certainly that description could be most of this unit, or others I love.

[He watches that with an amused smile.]

What appeals to you about it?

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

Ah yes, Talon! Jason is incredibly fond of him as well. And I would tell you to try and speak with Jason more, but... I think you may be too old for that.

[Hello fellow teens.]

And, well... Perhaps it's simply because I like people?

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

I don't my age would be the chief barrier.

Not do I think liking people has any connection to flirting?

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

I imagine your connection to Absinthe would be the bigger one, yes.

[And/or Cosmo has also done fucked up things at Jason, Levity has no idea but would not be surprised in the slightest.]

But also, Jason is a hip young man. Too much of a generation gap!

[He gives him a curious look at the second part, though.]

Really? Liking people has no connection to flirting?

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

You do not think I can be "hip"?

As for flirting... Not at all? There are those who dislike people who can be exceptionally charming, and those who like everyone who would not know how to flirt if given an instruction manual on it.
