[ ... 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. ]

[siffriend]

i dont know what royalty does
i just thought you guys took what you wanted
thats a kind of free too
intimidation

[ Which he...... just spoke of, too, so............. ]

[uncourteous]

While I cannot deny that intimidation may be common tactic... that is not to state that they are not rewarded handsomely for their work.

To believe you thought us to be so heartless...

[siffriend]

the only royalty i know is trying to freeze a country in time because he liked it

[ Sorry. For the heartless accusation. Given. ]

[uncourteous]

While that may be a fair assessment, all things considered... do you not believe he could treat those on his side quite well outside of that?

[ lol.

listen, he could do bad and still pay his cooks? ]

[siffriend]

[ ...

(No. No, you know he wouldn't. Trying to befriend him, to share with him the things only the two of you remembered, to change his mind through a mutual history that was yours...

... Hadn't ended well, and never would.

You're really so stupid. So naive. So hopeful, so desperate.) ]

too paranoid

[uncourteous]

[ the royal, or siffrin themselves? callisto wonders. ]

You mean to say they were a rather testy and volatile individual?

Despite what you say, you seem to know them quite well.

[siffriend]

[ ... ]

its just that quote
know thy enemy and all

[ (You think there's more to it, but you don't remember.

It doesn't matter.) ]
