[uncourteous]

Dear Duke,

It has come to my attention that you...


Have rather loose lips.

- Callisto Regulus

[frostfist]

[ Oh. It's this guy again. Why is he back?? ]

Dear Monsieur Clown Prince,

Shouldn't you be referring to me as father-in-law? Surely a man of your caliber ought to know how to appropriately respect your elders?

Your dearest
Father-in-law

[uncourteous]

Dearest Duke,

And here, I thought you weren't too fond of the title of "father-in-law"?

Who knew the Duke would be such a fickle man on top of a rather... talkative one.

I have thought this for quite some time, but should elders be praised for simply being so many years closer to their demise? Or rather, to truly celebrate their existence, should we not treat them as equals, or perhaps as no more than mere infants?

- Callisto Regulus

[frostfist]

[ 🙄 ]

And yet you're the one writing entire essays as part of the conversation.

Why don't we cut to the chase? What is it you want from me?

[uncourteous]

Are you so shameless that you do not believe you should correct your wrongs?

[ who is truly the shameless ass here. ]

[frostfist]

[ GO TO SLEEP BIJOU ]

I have to be made aware of my wrongs before I can begin to rectify them.

[uncourteous]

[ only if you finish your movie. ]

Perhaps, that is where the issue lies. Do you not believe you could afford for some self-reflection?

[frostfist]

[ you're never going to sleep like this.... ]

And do you not believe you could afford some clarity in your words?

[uncourteous]

There has been some troubling rumors about me. Specifically stating that I have a mysterious fiancée.

[frostfist]

Do you not? The phrase 'future father-in-law' is quite implicating, don't you think?

[uncourteous]

I disagree. It was clearly a conversation meant for your eyes only.

Besides, as you likely could imagine, royal marriages aren't so easy to plan.

[frostfist]

Actually, I can't. Marriage has never been an option for me.

[uncourteous]

Come now, the Duke must have no shortage of marriage proposals sent his way.

If you wanted to pose a more ridiculous lie, you will certainly have to try a little harder.

[frostfist]

Is this how you usually go about making friends, by accusing them of lying midway into the conversation? You might want to rethink your technique in that case.

[uncourteous]

There is no need for concern, Dearest Duke.

I was merely saying it's difficult to believe. [ despite the dukes children being quite lacking in his eyes, there was certainly no shortage of women who flocked to them, so it only made sense. ] You're quite snippy for someone who has left my reputation in shambles.

[ did he tho... ]

[frostfist]

Perhaps your reputation was never worth much if it can be so easily demolished by a single man's word.

[uncourteous]

Nonsense. At the very least, I believed I started this off on a clean slate. [ he would argue not having the reputation of being the crown prince of iron and blood ... was a vast improvement.

but, perhaps precisely because of that... ] You could always spark the change the people want to see. [ the people as in... him. ]

[frostfist]

Are you asking me to speak up on your behalf?

[uncourteous]

👏

I applaud how quick-witted you are.

[frostfist]

Thanks for the offer but I'll pass. I fail to see how it benefits me in any way.

[uncourteous]

Do you not believe the benefit comes from simply acting on the kindness of your heart? Good deeds are dead in the dukedom, I see.

[frostfist]

Good thing for me we're not in the dukedom here then, isn't it?

Perhaps you should reflect on your own actions first before asking others to do the same.

[uncourteous]

Have I committed any crimes outside of calling you "father-in-law"? For the record, most would have considered it an honor.

[frostfist]

Being condescending may not be a crime but it certainly doesn't do you any favors.

[uncourteous]

Is it condescending to speak facts? You have quite a peculiar view of the world.

Regardless, I hope you don't forget this conversation in the future. I am glad we could have such a fruitful heart-to-heart, former father-in-law.
