ooc; okay, so I figured the easiest way for me to do this was to set up the post and then set up two different threads: one for canon-alignment shifted Peony, one for AUDark!Peony, so...yes. :|b
I suppose so. In my opinion, he doesn't really have the stomach for it. He's too soft on assassins and too tolerant with his lords. [Jade: a big fan of the "CRUSH THEM ALL" method of problem solving] Despite that, my liege makes his methods work.
Yet he still has the blood of thousands on his hands. [a careless shrug] But, whatever small gestures helps him sleep at night. I'm sure I can't even fault your liege that.
[he looks at Jade as if he's not sure whether to laugh or be confused - because either this is amazing trolling or this Jade's world is...yeah, he doesn't know.]
That was very touching. I might have to use it someday.
The reason why children are children isn't because of their ability. Rather, it's their understanding for other people. The ability to play other people is not enough.
Frankly, I don't see why I would have bothered with you. You're not interesting. You're not different. You're much like everybody else, and you don't even seem to understand the one thing that has always been beyond me. I have no idea how you managed to stop my fomicry research when you yourself never seem to have grown up.
[a careless shrug, as if Jade's words didn't sting the way they did] I don't know either. Maybe if mine can manage to stomach me when this is all over, I'll ask him.
I'm sure he'll appreciate it. I know I do. Then again, I always appreciate your loyalty and concern. It's good to know it's still there, even when I don't know you.
[he studies Jade before smiling and standing up, he puts a hand on Jade's shoulder, eye to eye with him] I think I may have gotten emotional and jumped to the wrong conclusion. You'll have to forgive me.
