@chargedwinter if you have any questions, I'm more willing to answer in the privacy of my own home, where I know we won't be listened on.
( he made sure of that, soundproofing the walls as much as possible. )
thanks. if I'm eating, I might as well make it taste good.
English
there's only so much I am willing to do.
( a soldier through and through . . )
. . seeing the hour, he's on lunch break. you'll have to wait a little.
ａｌｙｏｓｈａ@chargedwinter
i see . thank you very much . and . . if my name comes up in any reports, feel free to look the other way . ( taking the paper, he pulls his hood up, planning to locate said ammunitions seller )

@chargedwinter ( when he has all he needs, he's taking off
his jacket, starting a fire in his chimney to
keep warm and then he's back at it.
cutting, searing, cooking down, adding a
broth he made and stored, and letting
it simmer. )
. . give it fifteen to twenty minutes.
English
@chargedwinter it's been there for ages.
( and that's not a lie. his father's, and that man has been gone for a long, long time.
he's going for the fridge & gathering ingredients. )
would a stew be fine with you ?

@chargedwinter my colleague isn't going anywhere, and it's lunch time.
( thankfully, he didn't live far : about ten minutes or so of walking, they're there. a modest house, similar to the other ones, merely looking older. )
come on in.

@mityaaa__ why don’t you just tell me your most interesting facts about the archons themselves . . ?
English
@chargedwinter I see. Is there anything specific you'd like to know more of ? I know a little bit of everything , but the Archon War just happened to be my most recent hyperfixation.
English
(cough)
It's nothing anyway. Say , Alyosha. Would you like to hear about the Archon War and how if you really think about it , never ended ?
ａｌｙｏｓｈａ@chargedwinter
. . again ? actually, don’t tell me . i don’t need to know that —
English
@chargedwinter . . I see. let's head back now, then. I'll cook you something.
( he's not waiting for an answer, in fact.
he's already walking, turning his head around
a moment to make sure Alyosha is following. )
English
@mityaaa__ i have nothing better to do and you always have interesting things to tell me . . so perhaps a bit of both .
English
@chargedwinter Do you actually care to hear about history ? Or are you just being nice .
English
@mityaaa__ . . thank you . is there any other history lessons you want to give?
English
@chargedwinter ( sigh. )
I understand your concerns, Alyosha. I apologize.
English
@chargedwinter are you sure you want to try that ? I've had
many, many years of training. not . . to brag.
very well. I had to pick food or luxury, and I picked food -- you'll eat well.
English
@chargedwinter good. you won't ever win with me,
I'm afraid.
my house is simple and all I can
afford, I'm, ah. sorry. I'm not royalty
in the proper sense.
English
@mityaaa__ i don’t remember saying i didn’t believe in our archon . i simply have reservations about how everything is being handled .
English
@chargedwinter With. . ALL due respect , I think you need to believe in our Archon more. She loves her people. She loves her Nation. She would not let us suffer.
English
@mityaaa__ believe what you want, but our nation is about to go under .
English
@chargedwinter You will not put doubt into my head. Everything /will/ work out in the end , because Her Majesty knows what she is doing.
English
@chargedwinter pftt.
( a chuckle ! an actual chuckle, making him seem way less like an ice statue. )
you're a guest, and guests take the bed. that's final.
English
@mityaaa__ . . and yet our economy is on the brink of collapse because of all the resources the harbingers are using on this project . we won’t last much longer like this .
English
@chargedwinter I believe in our queen. I believe everything she is doing is for the greater good , and is preventing another all out war.
It's true that I don't know what's going on in her mind , but I put my full faith into her actions.
English
@mityaaa__ . . well yeah, that makes sense . and considering that secret project the fatui harbingers are all on, it’s only a matter of time before everything kicks off again, i’d imagine.
English
@chargedwinter hence why I believe the war never ended, it was just on standby until further notice.
English
@chargedwinter no. to each their own. I believe it's both fated & not, for your choices can never be fully anticipated.
( a hand in his pocket, and he's pulling out a key. )
yes. I only have one room, therefore, if I'm there when you are, I'll take the couch.
English
@chargedwinter that is a sound thing to say.
( ah, so he doesn't. he looks hesitant for a minute before he sighs. )
I'm not often at my house at all and I have nothing of value there besides clothes. if you want a warm bed, you can . . stay.
