( it's strange. he never intends to drop his trauma out of nowhere. they're just facts to him.

but of course, he's had thirty years to make them so. details of his life. like the history book being written as he goes. he's detached from these facts that they'll right alongside his name.

or maybe not. he never can tell. )

what can i say? i get a thrill from taking the risk :)

[peasant]

So it IS a fetish.

( perceived, called out, seen, etc. )

[abyssale]

i hear they call it a kink in this world.

[peasant]

Is that not just the same thing?
I can't believe you're arguing about which word is better suited to describing your fantasies.

[abyssale]

( lexi, king of arguing about stupid shit. )

i like kink. rolls off the tongue better.

[peasant]

( boy. )

Is being pointlessly frustrating your "kink"?

[abyssale]

also yes.

i should make a list for everyone's convenience.

[peasant]

Is that really necessary?

( and thus ends the saga of how alina starkov got her first hernia. )

I doubt there's enough paper in the world for you to write all of them down.

[abyssale]

have to start somewhere, yes?

enjoy the sun, Alina. maybe i'll message you tomorrow for more fun :)

( unforgivable, if she let the world's most annoying man have the last word in a conversation. the ping of a read notification lingers, blinking, on his screen for a long, stretching moment. then: an unprompted picture, dappled in lakeside sunlight: )

Don't worry. I'll enjoy it enough for the both of us.
