[ The flowers were dead when they delivered, and they are only further dead by the time she finds them. There is a card amongst the rotten stems: ]

Blind, deaf machine, fertile in cruelties
Valuable tool, that drinks the whole world's blood,
Why are you not ashamed, how have you not
In mirrors seen your many charms turn pale?

[erythristic]

[asshole. these are all getting burned.]

[summonere]

Don't be upset. You survived.

[erythristic]

Write your will. If I see you again, you won't.

[summonere]

I only get stronger every day, Lady Grell.

[erythristic]

So do I. Tell me, which do you think you can live without, your tongue or your hands?

[summonere]

The Lady, or the tiger?

[erythristic]

Both possess the power to kill you. Whether they will depends on your actions alone.

[summonere]

You didn't want to be won over, if you'll recall.

[erythristic]

You have absurdly terrible timing. Deep in the heart of the battlefield isn't the day to practice winning over anyone.

I let you run away, even. Don't say I'm not fair.

[she was also out of her mind on adrenaline and combat euphoria, but details.]

[summonere]

It was the only timing to be had. Unfortunately the offer to clean your armor for you has long since expired.

[erythristic]

Fortunately, I didn't hold my breath waiting for you.

Do you want me to apologize for your missteps? You'd be the height of vanity if so.

[summonere]

I got what I wanted.

[erythristic]

Did you, little rabbit? Then it'd only be fair if I got what I wanted as well.

[summonere]

I even let you live. Don't say I'm not fair.

[erythristic]

And you will find
Though shuddering at the mirror of your own thoughts, in all their self-confession
The lurking bias, be it truth or error, to the unknown; a secret prepossession,
To plunge with all your fears—but where?
You know not, and that's the reason why you do—or do not.

[summonere]

Don't mistake me for indecisive, Grell.

[erythristic]

I'm saying you have room to surprise me. Convince me, maybe, what'd make a better wall decoration than the heads of you and your pets.

[summonere]

I won't undersell myself or my pets.

[erythristic]

Will you wait until the next battle to try and make an offer?

[summonere]

Certainly, let me know when you feel recovered.
