o1;; You didn't see that coming?

[silvercast]

Who: Pietro & You!
Broadcast: yes
Action: SS Bloodsport
When: Right now

[ Video;; ]
[ The video feed shakes, the audio cracking as the communicator is moved around. The broadcasting image so far is the floor, covered in multicolored confetti, and a pair of black and grey running sneakers in view. The left foot taps impatiently before the video swings again to the bridge of the Bloodsport. ]

[ There is a sigh before heavily accented voice accompanies the shoddy cameraman-ship. ] If this is someone's idea of a prank, it lacks humor.

[ The communicator finally turns around, and Pietro is very firmly not happy with this situation. ]

I have complaints.


[ SS Bloodsport;; ]
[ Pietro can be found in various places throughout the Bloodsport. In the kitchen, trying to figure out what the deal with protein paste is. The bridge offers a bit of a distraction with the endless sea of stars or the array of broadcast settings, and how can he resist settling into the bunks? It's been a very long time since he's had his own room. ]

Why would I have dirty thoughts about a woman I've only seen across a video screen?

[noprophecies]

How should I know? You are the one saying you are imagining things.

[silvercast]

Truthfully, I was imagining some sort of dragon. Though now...

[ He's not thinking anything untoward, though he can't resist the urge to tease. ]

[noprophecies]

. . . [she's trying very hard not to look amused, but her lips do twitch]

Dragon is a bit ironic, but I'm afraid I am not one. Just a half-elf.

However, I suggest you keep imagining dragons and nothing more, unless you wish for me to come find you and see if you are faster than my spells.

[it's less of a serious threat and more her way of attempting to tease back, at least?]

[silvercast]

Ah, but it's still impressive in any case! I have only heard of elves in stories, so it's pleasing to know it's not just a tale.

[ He grins, and it's all mischief. ]

I certainly hope for my sake that I am.

[noprophecies]

["impressive", "pleasing" . . . if she had any doubts before, they're gone now. That isn't how Maias would speak about anyone not human. She finds herself grinning back, and if she looks relieved, well]

You would be surprise by what is not a tale to some people here.

[her grin widens, just a touch]

I hope for your sake you are, too. You have a face that is just asking me to try anyway.

[silvercast]

[ Ah, well, he's not really human anymore, either. Superhuman, sure. ]

I'm certain I will see that for myself.

[ An eyebrow raises. ] Is that so? I have it on good authority that my face is quite handsome.

[noprophecies]

[. . . bite your tongue, Tempest]

It is very similar to a man I know, and he is not nearly as pleasant as you are.

[silvercast]

That just proves that I am the better one.

[ Cocky? Who's cocky? It's him. ]

[noprophecies]

[she wrinkles her nose, but she can't help but smile]

That much goes without saying, I think.

[silvercast]

It's good that we see eye to eye on the matter.

[noprophecies]

Yes, I think so too. Otherwise it would be quite awkward.

[silvercast]

Even if you didn't, I would convince you.

[ He is pretty charming. ]

[noprophecies]

I'm afraid I am not so easily charmed, dear.

[unfortunately your face works against you, Pietro]

[silvercast]

Then I'll just have to try my absolute best, won't I?

[noprophecies]

You can certainly try, if you must. It will not get you very far.

[silvercast]

I am also very persistent.

[noprophecies]

My, are you saying you are going to make a nuisance of yourself?

[silvercast]

It's quite possible.

[noprophecies]

Then I suppose we shall see how successful you are.

[silvercast]

I am always willing to accept a challenge, miss Tempest.

[ We will be friends, if only because of this weird face similarity problem. ]

[noprophecies]

You've picked quite a challenge, then.

Don't call me "miss".

[dammit Pietro that isn't how this works!!]

[silvercast]

Why pick something easy? It is seldom worth the outcome if it isn't difficult.

[noprophecies]

I suppose that is true enough.

[silvercast]

[ He winks at her. You know, like a little shit. ]

The uphill climb is the best part.
