I would prefer it if you did, but all I'd have is your word.

[which as far as cassian is concerned, isn't worth two credits to rub together.]

[redeems]

For you, I won't save it. Add it to my personal collection that doesn't need what you contributed, but, make no mistake. I'm keeping it. It was given to me. What kind of vampire would I be if I didn't keep the gifts given?

[aldhani]

[there's some time before any response comes back. in that time, cassian rifles through his things for his notes, writing vampire(?) next to angelus's name; that's something for him to circle back to, maybe in the library. he also writes personal collection(?), and stares at that, brow knitted, mouth setting in a line.

eventually:]

Because you're someone who's so concerned with doing what's polite.

[redeems]

Politeness is overrated, don't you think?

[aldhani]

It can have its uses.

[redeems]

Diplomacy and all that.

Real diplomatic money shot.

[aldhani]

Alliances aren't built on being rude.

[redeems]

Are you trying to build an alliance with me? It isn't every house for itself?

[aldhani]

[he'd rather jump in the frozen lake tbh]

I don't think that would interest you.

[redeems]

You don't know what interests me. Clearly, you don't know what interests me because you sent me (accidentally) that

[aldhani]

Then you don't have to keep it.

[redeems]

But what will keep me company in the dark dark parts of the night?

[aldhani]

I'm sure you'll figure something out.

[redeems]

Whether or not you did or didn't want me to have it, no matter who has it, doesn't it turn you on that someone does have it now? Someone out there

Me

But also, even if it weren't be

Doesn't that rev your engine?

[aldhani]

No.

[redeems]

FYI, not as convincing as you want it to be

[aldhani]

Believe what you want.

[redeems]

Well, that's the beauty of it. I can. The freedom this place affords.
