disingenuous | crow catchall

... That's a pretty image. Very poetic of you.

I was only extending the metaphor.

[ i love ara saying that and then the mods going "so, colour change mechanic". time for us all to be the rainbow. ]

Maybe we'll pick up more as time marches on.

[ me, checking the day of this pc and frowning.... ]

We'll have to see, but I don't know if I want to be here long enough to be the entire rainbow.

[ we need more ]

Same. I have stuff to do.

[ so make me another one after the pizza party ]

With how much time has passed, I'm afraid what things will be like when I return.

[ blows kissy. it's 9pm i hope we get more than two tags in before i collapse. sets gmt on fire ]

Yeah? Same.

Not easy when everything's happening and you're no longer there to try and fix it.

[ She smiles up at him. ]

Are you the one who does damage control at home?

Right now? Kinda seems like I am. Which is ironic.

[ … ] Or, I’m one of a larger group.

And you? Are you keeping everything in check with a cool stare and a pointed smile where you’re from?

I wouldn't say that. I'm one child of many in my family.

Family efforts to keep the family running smoothly, or something like that?

Something like that. It's all dependent on my father.

Oh, you’re big on the whole “family patriarch” thing?

It's how my family operates.

...

For better or worse?

[ Her honest answer is that it's worse, but she doesn't let it betray in her expression. ]

I am my father's favorite daughter.

[ He can take that however it is, but it's no lie that she's lived an easier life than most of her other siblings the past few years. ]

[ .............. ]

Well that's a statement that could either be very good or very bad depending on other circumstances. Hopefully for you it's something positive. In one way or another.

It's a fine life. There is much he will give me, if I ask for it.

[ If he's in a good enough mood. ]

[ .... hm. ]

Well. Sounds like there's benefits to being the favourite in a family. [ one that deals with poisoning, fraud and murder he guesses. ]

There usually are.

[ It means you're less likely to be killed for being a failure. ]

Better than being the least favourite, I'm sure.

No one wants to be the least favorite in my family.

[ Unless you're suicidal. ]

Dangerous, or just unpleasant?

It's nobility.

[ power struggles and hierarchy. ]

Both then, got it.
