[ damn, the prince. thanks siffrin.

minus the worthless title part. ]

I also consider you quite direct and eloquent. Are you sure you don't have prior experience in giving out such generous compliments? [ he's teasing, but it probably doesn't translate well through text. a shame, really. ]

[siffriend]

[ It sure doesn't, which means Siffrin is taking it fully at face value. Wow... They're eloquent?

(Not a single one of your family members would call you that, probably!) ]

not really
only telling the truth

[uncourteous]

That already makes you quite distinct from most.

[ assuming he is speaking the truth, but...

callisto doesn't get the vibe he is a liar. that much is true. ]

You are a distinguished individual who deserves to hold your head high.

[siffriend]

[ (um) ]

if i hold my head any higher
ill strain my neck

[ Haha. Because they're vertically challenged. ]

[uncourteous]

Am I not worth a bit of neck pain?

[siffriend]

[ "What do you have to do with my neck?" ]

um
you are pretty tall
thats okay
i was jest making a joke

[ ...

That was alright. ]

[uncourteous]

[ ...


... ]

Was that another...?

[ give him a second.

after a full minute: ]

👏

[siffriend]

[ ... Heheheh. ]

[uncourteous]

Is that creature meant to represent you?

I suppose I do see the similarities...

[ does he tho... ]

[siffriend]

you do

[uncourteous]

Yes, it's polite stance and more compact stature.

Have you considered wearing something similar on your neck?

[ is it also time to take siffrin shopping...

with his actually broke ass that hasn't acclimated to being broke... ]

[siffriend]

[ Polite stand... Compact stature...

...

(Is that... a nice way to call you short...?) ]

i
dont like having things around my neck
i think

[ ... ]

but
i can try it

[uncourteous]

Is that from experience?

[ eye emoji. ]

If not, there may be other suitable options. What of having a few gems to adorn your outfit, or a brooch?

[siffriend]

[ (You decline to comment.

...

Is he trying to figure out a gift for you...?) ]

that sounds pretty
i dont mind things like that

[ The two pins on his cloak are like that, after all. He misses that cloak. ]

[uncourteous]

[ time for callisto to learn what online shopping is... ]

I will keep that in mind.

Have you adapted to the fashion here...?

[siffriend]

no
not really
theres some things that are similar but
i like looser things

[ Jeans... are not nice! Slacks or sweatpants are. Loose t-shirts, all dark. ]

have you

[uncourteous]

It appears we are in a similar bind.

You could say I was accustomed to dressing in a certain manner before this. The meager amount of KYPTOS offered to us could barely equate to basic shirt. [ under shirt, even.

or, he is choosing the wrong items here. ]

[siffriend]

have you tried bartering

[ Bar...tering. ]

[uncourteous]

[ ... ]

If you mean threatening a store keeper, I have not.

I had never been in need before.

[siffriend]

what
no
its just haggling down the price a little
usually with favors
like offering to hand out flyers
or do a delivery
they lower prices when they like you

[ Going to teach a noble how to live life on the road, proper........ ]

[uncourteous]

That seems like quite a few extra steps...

Is being liked essential to this plan? From experience, intimidation does the same.

[siffriend]

when they see you they smile and give you free food
but only if they like you

[uncourteous]

I cannot envision the food being much to speak of, if they're willing to part with it for free.

However, I do see your point. Perhaps, next I should try work on being liked.

[ he's not serious at all, but sarcasm and text... ill-fated. ]

[siffriend]

[ Oh! That's great. ]

didnt know royalty paid for their meals

[uncourteous]

Did you think we enslaved our chefs?

I am a bit shocked. [ says... the guy who talks about threats and dungeons, but listen. ]
