Iobel snorts and squeezes him.

Edarial smiles and snuggles her back.

"And, I'm not looking forward to outdoing Ice and Cypress at all, nope. That would be petty. If incredibly justified."
Permalink

"And you're never petty?"

Permalink

"Nope. Never."

Permalink

"That sounds exhausting, never being petty."

Permalink
"It is, it truly is. Why, I'm feeling faint and lifeless this very moment..."

And that is when he flops most of his weight onto Iobel, mischievously.

"Pff -" She holds him up with effort. "Shall I haul you to bed?"

Permalink

"Oh, can you? I feel faint, not allowing any sort of pettiness - it's getting to me!"

Permalink

"Maybe you should do something just a little petty. I'm not sure I can lift you."

Permalink

"What petty thing is possible, when I'm in such a state?"

Permalink

"Oh, I don't know. Insult Cypress's dress sense."

Permalink

"Hmmm. His crown looks prickly and uncomfortable and I bet it's hard for people to take him seriously in it. There, do you think that was enough?"

Permalink

"Are you feeling more awake?"

Permalink

".... Yeeees. Somewhat."

Permalink

"Then maybe it will do. But you may collapse again at any moment and I'm short on ideas for further pettiness, so perhaps you'd best flop somewhere."

Permalink

"Yes, that's wise. And later, when I have recuperated my energy, I will resume my usual, non-petty existence."

Permalink

"But at what cost?"

Permalink

"I cannot say. Alas. It may be too high a price."

Permalink

"What will be left of you if you are without your noble stand against pettiness?" she asks, ushering him in the direction of his bedroom.

Permalink

"Bones, nice clothes, pretty hair."

Permalink

She ruffles his pretty hair. "You'll be a very well-turned-out skeleton."

Permalink

Edarial snickers. "Thank you, my dear. I try."

Permalink

"Are your non-skeletal parts all made of antipettiness? How does this dovetail with you being weak and listless when you refrain?"

Permalink

"Oh, fine," he snorts. "My body will be totally fine, it's my mind you have to worry about."

Permalink

"And how is that holding up?"
