IC Contact Post - Scorched

[It clicks on and there's a pause.]

And now... Hello? I'm assuming you're trying to reach me. By the Forge. So you talk now, or not now, you talk when I'm done talking, and then I'll get the message and I'll respond as quickly as possible.

[There's another pause.]

Oh! Anders. I'm Anders. You have reached Anders, please leave a message for me.

[There's another click as the message ends.]

Only if you want to apologize for talking my ear off. You're a pretty chatty drunk.

[He sounds amused, though.]

At least I didn't wind up offending you, apparently. I'll let you know if this thing gets too much and I need the drink, or you let me know if you wind up with a need. ...A drink need, I can't really offer the other sort anymore. No matter how pretty your eyes may be.

[A pause.]

Tch, not you too... I've got some ale a friend left behind that needs drinking in my room. That's probably where I'll end up, if it comes to that.

And don't worry. Even if you do end up propositioning me, I'll turn you down. Tony can rest easy.

I flirt with everyone. I'm in enough control to follow through with just the ones I want to, however, even when I've had some to drink.

...Though I have to say I'm always surprised by how quickly news travels, here.

That's good. I can deal with flirting, just don't expect me to flirt back at you.

[He snorts.]

Maybe yes, maybe no--but you told me that one.

Oh. Seeing as I don't remember that, I'm going to guess it was the one night, then. I was fairly certain I'd only mentioned it to Martha and Isabela.

[He chuckles.]

You mentioned it when I was half-carrying you back to Tony's house. Or did you forget that I ended up staying the night there, too?

No, I saw you on the way out in the morning. But there are others who have crashed at the place, from what I've gathered, since it's got more than a few rooms. You could have written it off as where I was staying, not me being with him. Not that it's a problem that you know.

The only person who it would be dangerous to have know, Tony told directly.

Yeah... I guess I ended up sleeping later that you did. But no, you made it very clear that you were with him.

[A slight pause.]

...you're kidding me. He told Yaha? ...or Fenris.

You have a lot of enemies, mage.

Yaha. Fenris won't hurt him, Tony isn't a mage. ...And I know it's a little thing, but please don't call me mage like that. There's no hatred in your voice, and that makes it better, but Templars and Fenris call mages like that, as if we're just things.

I am a mage. But I'm also Anders.

...sorry. Guess I wasn't thinking.

[He's used to calling people by their professions, but... honestly, with the world Anders is from... he should have known. Or at the very least, he should have guessed.

He doesn't dwell on his mistake for long.]

I won't do it again.

Though what was Tony thinking, telling Yaha about it? If Yaha's as determined to get to Justice as you said...

[This can only end badly.]

Thank you. And I don't know. I've no clue what was going through the man's head then. But the last time the Forges did their... show, Tony dropped the detail after Yaha dreamed of my body.

Tch. Possessiveness, or jealousy, maybe? Though that's a little childish of him.

If it had been to anyone else I would have been happy. There's something touching about being that important someone gets a little possessive, and not in a bad way, and for once in my life I want to shut up and I can't.

[He sighs.]

Maybe we should stop talking, then.

...though if you want, come by in the evening. I think I might just end up drinking, since this doesn't look like it's stopping anytime soon; I certainly wouldn't mind a little company.

I'll let you know. Thank you for the offer, and for the break.
