[Only Liam gets to see Zen Felix in action? Maybe Marianne. And listen, while he can't play dumb... he can still be Difficult, so after a prolonged! Delay!]
Then I'll say no. And I didn't ask for it. Not really. Stop bothering me about it.
[And Felix will ignore the first message! And the second message! And the... third message... and the... fourth...
...Well! Sylvain knows that Felix has little patience—and Felix knows that Sylvain has all the patience in the world when it comes to something like THIS, so. After gently placing his sword on the floor, carefully stepping around Liam, and furiously walking a few quick loops along the other side of the room:]
You're annoying.
[But he follows this up with an incredibly blurry picture of... the clock in question! It looks like this, but what's that? The hands have... names on them? Just read the deets tbh, it's 2 am and ya girl doesn't want to type it all back out.]
There.
[His job is done! There's clearly no need for questions!]
Felix brings the block feature to Fellden and a new war stars when gods start to block each other
[ Too easy. And he feels a little smug about it, taking that insult as the compliment it should be, but then the picture comes through and, uhhhh? ]
uh, what exactly am i looking at here...?
[ Like, beyond the blur (how hard is it to hold the compass still, grandpa, damn!!), what... IS he looking at? A clock, certainly, but like. There are too many hands, and... why's it got their names on it? And places, around the edge in place of numbers...
...Hang on. ]
felix, please tell me that thing does what i think it does.
[ Please, for the love of all that is good and pure in this world and the next, please tell him Felix asked for a way to keep track of them while they're apart... It's kind of funny, yes--and AMAZING ammo to tease him with, for sure--but it's also always nice when Felix reaffirms in some outward way that, yes, for all some others might argue, he does care about his friends... ugh. He's still a softie under all those barbs!! ]
[You know what makes this worse? Felix really didn't ask for the clock; Felix merely typed some stupid comment about Sylvain's stupid decision to run off on his own, and thus: this! God damn! If he wasn't in the middle of Weapon Maintenance™, he'd probably up and leave his room.
And if it were anyone else but Sylvain asking for more clock deets, Felix would surely place his compass in a drawer and forget about it for a week or so. But something, something, Sylvain gets away with quite a lot just because he's Sylvain—and it's good, in a way, to share this ~terrible secret~ with someone he trusts, so.]
Probably.
["I don't know what you're thinking" would be an easy enough follow-up to type, but... aw, hell. Sylvain is a smart guy; he's going to piece this all together, if he hasn't already, so what is the POINT! Better to get this over with before he's on the receiving end of another dozen messages.]
As if I needed a reminder that you make stupid decisions. I don't care.
[So there!!!! There's no need to talk about the other names.]
Edited (shut UP) 2019-12-05 09:36 (UTC)
Obviously I meant a new Star Wars, showing now in select Fellden theatres
[ He WOULD send another dozen if that's what it took? So really, that's a good choice. But out of all of Sylvain's plentiful options regarding what to focus on with a response like that... there's really only one choice, isn't there? One thing to argue? ]
yeah you do.
[ If text can feel the way a raised brow and a knowing smirk looks, you can bet your ass this is exactly the time for it. Felix can SAY he doesn't care until the end of time itself, but that won't change the fact he does--oftentimes more than most. He sees you, punk, so quit LYING! ]
before you get angry, your secrets safe with me!
but you know, you can always just ask us. im sure the others would be thrilled to hear from you.
[Jesus, Sylvain! Everyone and their mother knows that Felix cares, but there's no need to be so... so open about it! All he's saying is that y'all can make all the terrible decisions y'all want, because he's not rushing to anyone's side...]
Shut up. I'm too busy to message everyone. And I don't want to. You send me enough garbage.
[Damn, four whole lines... Sylvain struck a bit of a nerve! But, like, in a good way.]
[ It's not every day he gets to call Felix out on this, alright!! And it's not often he feels the need to, either--he's content just Knowing these things about him, so there's no point in showing off the fact he does--but in this particular instance? Just this once?
Come on. Even if Felix didn't ask for something like this specifically, the fact remains that he was concerned enough to ask at all. What kind of friend would Sylvain be if he didn't have just a little bit of fun teasing him for it? ]
hey, that garbage happens to be full of valuable information!
im just saying, its easier to check in now that we dont have to rely on messengers for it. faster than writing a letter, too.
and im sure you could afford to ease up on some training every now and then.

you are now banned from this inbox
Then I'll say no.
And I didn't ask for it.
Not really.
Stop bothering me about it.
[So it's definitely something FUN!]
Your ban means NOTHING to me
i already told you what i got, so it's only fair you return the favor! it cant be that bad.
what kind of clock is it, at least?
does it look different?
or make weird noises?
[ Could he condense these into a single message? Absolutely, yes. But if he can convince Felix it's more trouble to let him keep guessing... ]
wait, actually, what do you mean you didnt REALLY ask for it?
doesnt that mean you didnt really NOT ask for it, either?
felix's next blessing: sylvain is fuckin blocked
