[ In that moment, Yan Qing further confirms that Jeanne truly is evil. This was already clear, though. Without wincing, he begrudgingly places an order for Hawaiian pizza... ]
Unfortunately, femdom is only in my list of maybes. [ It's actually a yes, he's just scared of Alters. ] I ain't paying for something I kind of want.
[ He sits on a spot on the floor where Jeanne can't crush him between her legs, resting his back against the couch. ]
Like coffee! Just because I can drink all the coffee in the world doesn't mean I should. [ He tilts his head back to look up at her. ] But now I'm wondering what the hell you're staying up for! Even if we don't need caffeine to.
[ oh wow he called her, okay she totally wasn't expecting that! but she does pick up the phone and tries her best to sound not to sound too surprised. ]
You're very welcome! I'm glad you liked it, Shuwen. It's not like I have much else to do at the minute.
[ He silently cracks up for a few seconds. It's not you, Savia. He's just a shit. ]
Oh? Really? [ He sounds way too enthusiastic about this. ] 'Cause you know, I mean, if you got the time... I was wondering if I could commission you something.
It depends on what it is, I don't have all my tools here but I can make most things I know how to do back home - music boxes, automaton toys and the like.
[ This poor girl is really unaware that she's a shit, which makes her a perfect mark. ]
Hmm. I see, I see. Very interesting! Machines are well beyond my time, but even an ordinary handsome gentleman such as I can see the appeal of the modern toaster.
[ Being handsome has nothing to do with this. He just wanted to call himself handsome. ]
[ There’s a long pause at the end of the line. Savia’s not sure what to make of that statement. She was going to agree with Shuwen about him being good looking but this is making her conflicted. In theory, she knows how to make any weapon. In practice, not so much. There’s also the feelings of inadequacy because her father didn’t care for her and he was the most esteemed weapon maker of the age.
Would he notice if she lied? ]
I’ve never made one before.
[ Ok maybe a half truth ]
Never needed to, I guess.
[ I mean who needs weapons when you can turn into a divine being? ]
[ True, true. Divine beings are way more effective at hurting people.
He can sense some hesitation in that sentence. Still, his gut tells him to press onward. Maybe he'll get something out of this. ]
Don't worry, don't worry. I won't use it for anything bad. I'm a martial arts teacher, see? I just want to teach people a lesson. Besides, If you can make something like this, [ He is literally putting sushi on the trainset right now. ] I have full faith in your abilities! The weapon I want is not that hard to make, I think. I wouldn't know. This sort of thing is beyond my expertise. Wahahahaha!
And I gotta save the world but you don't see me complaining [Because he's chaotic evil. Seriously, don't listen to him.] Maybe you're secretly a sex god and spreading your seed is your new destiny
You got people counting on you back home. You gotta get back. I get it!
But think about it too much and you stop moving, guy. How are the folks back on whatever planet you're from supposed to trust a sleep-deprived solider?
Instead of mulling over what you can't do, how about thinking about what you can?
