It was the most admirable trait of the great sea witch.

[infinitecruelty]

Was she also a master scam artist?

[tothosewhobait]

[He is so offended on the behalf of the great sea witch that there are not even WORDS.]

[infinitecruelty]

[Blinks]

...what?

[tothosewhobait]

...I am going to pretend I didn't hear that.

[Stands up carefully, pausing for a moment...he's been kneeling for a while and even if his legs don't hurt here, old habits die hard. Once he's confident his legs won't give out he starts to brush off whatever sand has found its way onto his clothing]

[infinitecruelty]

[Oh hey, personal space is his again. He sighs and rolls over onto his stomach, stretching out all his limbs with another yawn.

He hums, doing his best to seem unbothered by any of this nonsense....]

So, have I lost my chance at benevolence?

[tothosewhobait]

Oh? Are you saying you wish to sign now?

[Folds his arms and levels a stare at the back of Envy's head, not that it can be seen what with Envy on his stomach, but he's got that energy right now]

[infinitecruelty]

[Oh, he can feel that shift in his energy, the edge to his tone...

Envy's tail slithers proudly on the blanket, wrinkling it further.]

Are you going to deliver on your end of the bargain?

[tothosewhobait]

That depends, do you plan to ask for the impossible just to see me scramble to try and make it happen? I may have magic, but I am no miracle worker.




Also. You're doing it again.

[infinitecruelty]

I will ask for things within reason, alright? For instance, I won't ask you to, oh, I don't know. Make me God or bring me back to life or anything fantastical like that~

[He rolls over again and sits up, eyeing the mess he's made...

And doing nothing to fix it. He simply casts an expectant look Azul's way.]

But, that will require that you tell me what you are capable of. ...When the time comes, of course. I mean, we've got all the time in the world to find out what each other can do, don't we~?

[He sure is chill for someone who supposedly lost.]

[tothosewhobait]

[Holds out a pen to him, notably not the one he was toying with earlier....how many pens does this guy carry around?]

Then? What are you waiting for. Just sign right at the bottom.

[infinitecruelty]

[How many does he have, and where the hell is he keeping them?

Oh well, that can't be terribly important. He may as well bite the bullet and sign. He takes the pen and jots his name [Envy the Jealous] on the line in perfectly beautiful, perfectly legible cursive... like he's had a long time to improve that skill or something.]

There.

[He hands the pen back.]

Are you happy, now?

[tothosewhobait]

Delighted, really.

[Once the contract is signed and back in his hands, his posture and expression smooth out completely. Carefully tucks the scroll away, not going to mention the fact Envy didn't even bother to read what he just signed. It's better for them both if Envy feels he got the better end of the deal, afterall.]

[infinitecruelty]

[Why would he read it when he's sure he wrote it? Psshhh. Unfortunately for poor Envy, he hasn't a clue what he's in for.

He has a wish in mind that he almost blurts right out, but then he reconsiders... Azul may not be the one he wants to grant that to him. So he will wait a little longer.

That does, however, mean that he doesn't have a clue what he wants right now.]

Great! So glad to hear it.

[Propping his elbow on his knee and smiling up at Azul most pleased with himself.]

So, what now~?

[tothosewhobait]

[Not even going to double check it for possible loopholes that a master scam artist might take advantage of? How confident.]

Well, today is my day off...so we will start tomorrow.

[Holds out his hand expectantly for Envy's phone]

[infinitecruelty]

[Listen, he's clever but he's not very bright.]

Your "day off"? You already set up your "business," here?

[He stares at that hand for a long moment, not knowing what it's for. So after a beat or two, Envy places one hand in Azul's and flicks his gaze upwards to meet the other's.]

[tothosewhobait]

Of course. No rest for the wicked, even in death. I have something I wish to accomplish, so why wouldn't I already be setting up? Afterall, isn't that what I am bringing you in for?

[....well, he doesn't want to offend or embarrass him even if Envy can be a brat....so rather than pulling his hand away he'll hold out the other one]

Your phone. So I can add my number.

[infinitecruelty]

[He can't pretend that he doesn't like Azul referring to himself as "wicked." But before he can even comment on that, he realizes he's being asked for that weird rectangle he got when he arrived.]

Oh, yeah! Right.

[Don't ask how he produces it from his bike shorts.]

Here you go. [The screen is somehow already cracked. Don't ask about that, either.]

[tothosewhobait]

[Adds himself as a contact and messaging himself from Envy's phone before holding it up and giving it a little shake]

Now we can get ahold of each other more easily.

[infinitecruelty]

Oh, goodie.

[Takes it back and peers curiously at the message... Hopefully it's not something terrible-]

[tothosewhobait]

['Azul you're so cool :(']

[Just stares right at him and smiles, daring him to say something]

[infinitecruelty]

[Clicks his tongue behind his teeth. But says nothing about it.

And instead pulls himself up using Azul's hand, also brushing sand off of himself.]

Well, I guess that's that, then, since you don't plan to "work" today. I guess I should let you get back to your day off.

[tothosewhobait]

So you do not want to go get a drink with me then? I just said I am not working today, but the choice is yours. I am not "paying" you to join me.

[infinitecruelty]

[Blink]

Oh? [Bringing his hand to his chest.]

Where's the chivalry anymore? I let you sit on top of me for hours and I still have to pay for my own drinks? Is that how you were taught treat your partners? You didn't even take me to dinner first. Unbelievable.

[He knows it wasn't hours and that he's still being a little shit, but he didn't see anything about that in the contract.]

[tothosewhobait]

Oh, absolutely.

That said....

[Bows slightly at the waist, holding his hand out once more]

My apologies for being cold. I would love to have your company, if you'd like to join me.
