Who: Byerly ([personal profile] vorrutyer) & Nash ([personal profile] latkje)
What: Magic!
When: After the conclusion of the disease plot.
Where: On the road from Wyver to Olympia.
Warning(s): 504 Gateway Time-out

[ The road from Wyver to Olympia is well-travelled and well-packed, the long stretches of monotony preventing Nash from enjoying the landscape. Travel was supposed to bring variety, he thought, new sights, new sounds— not the same thing, over and over. It was hard to tell how far they'd come, at least in the physical sense. ]

At least we're done with that awful humidity. [ He runs a hand through his hair— short and wavy, it had gotten unruly in the heat. ] I have a northern constitution, if you didn't know. [ And a northern fashion sense, as Harmonian clothes tended toward the dour and conservative. Nash was also in the habit of wearing gloves. He's wearing them now, in fact. ] There are some things I just wasn't made for.

[ That hangs in the air a moment, then he turns to actually look at Byerly. ]

But you wanted to talk about magic.
vorrutyer: (god honestly what is this guy's face)

Just a little?

[ But he does lift his brows and answer semi-seriously. ]

I understand knowing that you're unfit to take on that mantle. Talking to God - who knows? But yes, I understand why you don't want to be that.

[ With a sigh - ]

But at times - one must.
vorrutyer: (intense (but smug))

[ His eyes narrow very slightly. ]

Sorry - proper equipment?
vorrutyer: (confused)

[personal profile] vorrutyer 2017-11-28 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He raises a finger. ]

Sorry. Can we dwell for a moment on what you mean by I haven't seen you when you're crazy?
vorrutyer: (explaining everything (badly))

[ A dry look greets you haven't have you. Heavens, but Nash is a facetious bastard, isn't he. ]

Famously so. He went mad as a Vorrutyer, they say. When someone has a mental break. But the way you talk implies that you have spent some time being mad as a Vorrutyer yourself.
vorrutyer: (shaaaahhhhts)

[ By gestures slightly with his fingers. Well, if Nash really is going to put up a fuss, By certainly can't force it out of him... ]

Madness in the utmost, it's true.
vorrutyer: (explaining everything (badly))

[personal profile] vorrutyer 2017-11-28 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
So true. So - when you were talking about lacking equipment - did you mean...?

[ He points at his crotch. ]

Utter emasculation, is it?
vorrutyer: (satisfied (but smug))

[personal profile] vorrutyer 2017-11-28 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, come now, Nash.

[ He slaps him on the shoulder, a buck-up sort of gesture. ]

You may be missing a prick, but I'm enough of one for the both of us. We'll make it work.
vorrutyer: (what a shitty grin)

[personal profile] vorrutyer 2017-11-29 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ By grins back at Nash, openly pleased by the laughter. ]

Charmingly persistent, you mean to say. Charmingly. You simply can't resist me.
