017 - Loose to me the good gray dogs / That are bound with iron bands

[Aniki shows up... tied to a chair. Because this is how Rosto helps his friends. She twists her wrists uselessly against the ropes, which Kora spelled to hold against blades and breakage. And as it was already spelled to weave itself into one single, long length when touched with the proper charm... She's sort of stuck.]

Gods-cursed maniac.

[Eyeroll.] We done here?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Not particularly sociable, are you? Little wonder I've not met you before.

[ghostlighter]

Don't really have reason to be.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

You must be fair fond of the world they saddled you with, then. [Intrigued and purposefully dense when it comes to people trying to excuse themselves, she is. Partially because she's curious. Partially because she enjoys their annoyance.]

[ghostlighter]

... Saddled me with?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Oh Goddess, not another one.] ...never mind, lad.

[ghostlighter]

First of all? Stop calling me that. You asked for my name; use it. Second of all, what are you talking about?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

That would be my business.

Lad.

[ghostlighter]

[... well, whatever.]

Seriously. Stop calling me that.

[Crosses her arms] Whyever would I do that?

[ghostlighter]

Getting you out of that supposedly-unbreakable rope isn't good enough?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Letting you keep it wasn't repayment?

[ghostlighter]

That's not really much payment when I could just take it anyway.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Could you now.

[ghostlighter]

Yeah, I could.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Bet, then. I win, you tell me where that little trick of yours comes from. You win, I tell you what I meant.

[ghostlighter]

Bet what, exactly?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[She holds out her hand.] I can keep it from you for ten minutes.

[ghostlighter]

[Holds the rope up contemplatively.] Without leaving the Plane?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Without you phasing it away from me?

[ghostlighter]

[He thinks about that for a moment, then nods.] Yeah. Without phasing it away from you.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

As you will have it, then. [Spits in her palm and holds it out. :I ]

[ghostlighter]

[Chris looks at her hand... then puts the rope in it. :|] Ready?
