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.
