un: man's greatest treasure [text]

[reparo]

[While on the boat ride from hell, there's a point in the first night where Hermione decides what the hell, for morale.]

I have mint leaves for anyone who is sea-sick, so please reach out if you would like some. I can float them to your boat. Chewing on peppermint would've been better, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

[There is a pause on her end here, before she writes out the rest:]

For whoever is holding the candles lit, if you are having trouble staying awake or keeping calm, maybe we can exchange stories. Surely if we whisper into our pendants...

Oh, one more thing! Does anyone know how to change the display name on these bloody things?

un: Black Prince; text / semi-private

[blackscales]

You do not like the name?

[ Listen he cannot help it, it's right there and you drew attention to it.

ANYWAY now that he's teased he flips the feed to private for the rest of this. ]

I have something for you, once we're safely across these waters.

1/3?? public, she was waiting for the chance to ramble

[reparo]

I abhor the name! I'm sure the powers that be thought they were very clever when they used the ending of that saying, but meanwhile I've been walking around projecting myself as some sort of treasure.

[reparo]

For a MAN!

3/5 actually i'm very sorry

[reparo]

Not that I'd expect sympathy from the monarchy about that.

["Black Prince"]

[reparo]

That was meant to be a joke by the way.

5/5 FINALLY private from here

[reparo]

You have something for me.

Private, etc

[blackscales]

[ Oh this was very entertaining to watch. Wrathion cannot help but be amused by how worked up she was. ]

I am unfamiliar with the phrase in question.

[ Just putting that out there, at least partly in case it will trigger another amusing flood of frustration and partly so she doesn't think he automatically agrees with whatever it is? Just felt important to note.

Anyway. ]

I have a book for you, from Taravast.

very private much wow

[reparo]

In its entirety it is: wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure.

What kind of a book?

[blackscales]

[ Ah, he sees! Mortals do love to make sweeping declarations. What about dragons and their wit, eh? ]

You don't consider yourself the embodiment of wit?

[ He cannot fully stop the teasing, okay. ]

It's a book on local herbs and their uses. I recalled our discussion about research, and I did say I'd appraise you of my findings. I do try to keep my word.

1/2

[reparo]

I am not that conceited.

[reparo]

You found a book on local herbs and took it with you? For me?

[blackscales]

[ Was this a mistake? Why does she keep clarifying?

Is this somehow inappropriate? Does she think he's implying she's incapable of finding her own books?]

I mean no offence. I only thought it might be useful, but if you have no need of it now I understand.

[reparo]

No, no! It's not an offense, I'm not offended.
Just surprised.
I didn't think I'd left the best impression to warrant a book.

[blackscales]

Whyever not?

[ She seemed perfectly pleasant to him!

Then again, Wrathion has been said to leave a poor impression himself. ]

[reparo]

It has been implied before that I sound judgemental.

[blackscales]

Well, then you'd find yourself in good company.

[ Wrathion can be scathingly judgemental when he wants to be.

He's also very frequently judged. ]

[reparo]

[You're missing out on the sudden Ha! she lets out before the reply comes:]

I'll be the judge of that.

[Judge-mental, get it?]

[blackscales]

I thought you were denying your position as the embodiment of wit? Perhaps you should reconsider.

[reparo]

[That's...a compliment, right? Flattery?


Kind of smooth? Very witty.]

I'll take it under advisement.

[blackscales]

Of course.

[ Entirely witty, Wrathion is a very charming dragon! Sometimes. ]

Find me on the banks when you are ready.

[reparo]

I will!

[Because book!]
