1. I lost my phone again. Well, lost isn't exactly true. But either way I have a new one now, so this is my number.

2. I need you to talk me down. I don't need to get in a heated argument about musical adaptations today.

3. I've heard mixed opinions, so I need you to decide for me. Do I buy a Tesla?

1. Who is this, why have you called the Alexa?

2. Look, I'll be there in a moment, I'm just in a store. What is so urgent?

3. Don't worry, I won't keep you long. I simply need to know.. Blue or gold?

open to anything!

What on earth did you do to it this time?

[perfectdevil]

Not a single thing. They just don't make them as sturdy as they used to be!

Why do you immediately assume it's my own fault, hmm? Answer me that.

[deathoftheauthor]

Don't tell me you miss the ones that flipped open.

I usually assume things are your fault. That way we're both happy when you actually get to prove me wrong.

[perfectdevil]

Now that you mention it... there was a phone that could take a real beating! Waterproof, too, some of them!

You're being very unkind today, by the way. But, as my life is devoted to making you happy, I will selflessly release you from the torment of the unknown.

It fell. Quite spectacularly.

[deathoftheauthor]

Did it seem unkind? Tone is so difficult! I was attempting to be playful. I know how you enjoy it when I'm a little bit cruel. Let me try again, since you're in such a saintly mood tonight:

Naturally. Everything you do is spectacular.

[perfectdevil]

Oh, sweet torture! I do so love it when you remind me how sharp your teeth can be.. you say such things that could wound were I a softer soul.

[ Who's complaining, definitely not him. Louis goading him is almost as delicious as Louis complimenting him. ]

Is it really being playful if what you say is the truth, Louis? I feel you don't know the rules of this game. Yet, to take you at your word, I am very pleased you think so! I shall remember that for a rainy day.

[deathoftheauthor]

Thank goodness that you aren't a softer soul. You gave me these sharp teeth, after all.

But we're getting rather off the subject of your telephone.

[perfectdevil]

We are, aren't we, and I did.

.. I'm reluctant to talk of it now. I find myself thoroughly distracted by thoughts of your sharp teeth.

[deathoftheauthor]

( a pause, as Louis tries to decide whether he wants to encourage this. he really shouldn't. he knows better. he does. )

What sort of thoughts?

[perfectdevil]

Thoughts of sounds and sights. The sort you normally admonish me for.

[deathoftheauthor]

Devil.

Fiend.

It's difficult to admonish someone who enjoys it as much as you do.

1/2

[perfectdevil]

Mm, I know. It's infectious to see me happy, isn't it? I have a theory you enjoy it just as much as I do.

When you call me such sweet things, how can I resist tempting your reprimanding?

2/2

[perfectdevil]

I am thinking about the sound your mouth makes when you open it and run your tongue along the veins at my wrist. Such tiny sounds that anyone would miss, but I can hear them perfectly.

[deathoftheauthor]

Ah, of course, no need to burden me with context.

[perfectdevil]

Louis. Less of your grousing, answer the question.

[deathoftheauthor]

( you actually expect him to make a decision? on demand? with no warning? you would torture louis???



fine. )

Blue.

[perfectdevil]

Aaah, blue. Blue, I knew you would say blue.

Now, while I have you- [ To be Louis is to suffer. ] Tell me another thing. Velvet or leather.

[deathoftheauthor]

Velvet.

( That one is easier. )

Blue makes me think of your eyes.

[perfectdevil]

My-

[ Oh, wow, what a strange moment of pause there with the sound of a little fumbling, as if someone almost dropped their phone. Weird. ]

... Such a fast decision! You're certain you pick velvet?

[deathoftheauthor]

Are you trying to make me doubt my decision?

( He sounds rather pleased with himself. )

[perfectdevil]

Not at all, mon coeur, simply making sure you are considering your answer before giving it! You wouldn't want to regret anything, now, would you?

[ Babble babble babble. Almost as if he's grateful to focus on anything but that delectable tone in Louis voice. Aaaaanyway-- ]

Moving on. You've done well so far. When thinking of embellishments, should they be silver or bronze, do you think?

[deathoftheauthor]

Ah, so there are embellishments involved. I should have known. ( A considering little hum, so that Lestat knows he's giving it the proper consideration. ) I think bronze appeals to me this evening.

When will I find out what I'm helping you with?

[perfectdevil]

Bronze this evening, noted.

[ He lets out a laugh at the little noise of thought, he can't help it. ]

Ah, as for that.. Well, that depends on your answer to my final question. I can tell you now, or I can show you later tonight. Which one would you like?

[deathoftheauthor]

You know how I am with surprises... but I know how well you enjoy them.

( Louis can't believe how invested he is in a mystery he found out about less than a minute ago. Lestat's good moods can be catching when Louis has no reason to resist. )

I'll let you show me. But give me a hint.
