"Hey. Need you to do something for me. You free?"

Comments

[smilingarmor]

Depending on what you need me for, I likely can be.

[Just a caveat in case she's up to something potentially illegal.]

What did you need, darling?

[mal_contented]

"You know the newish demon, Beetlejuice? Lydia's friend? I need you to explain me to him so I don't wind up punching his stupid face in or something. That would upset Lydia, even if it would make me feel better. He seems to think that if I don't ask all nice and pretty please tip toe around him that I think he's a thing. Tried explaining that's how I am and he threw a fit at me. Figured you're better with people and... whatever he is."

[smilingarmor]

Hmm... I don't believe I've spoken to him before, but I can certainly give it a shot. How much would you like me to explain though? Just how you are, or what I know about why as well?

[Just so they're on the same page.]

[mal_contented]

"He's Lydia's friend, so trying to make peace, even if he annoys the snot out of me half the time we talk. How I talk mostly, that I don't actually expect him to do something just cause I tell him to, but I'm not going to ask. Ain't gonna happen."

[smilingarmor]

[Sylvando nods his understanding.]

Alright, I'll see what I can do then.

[mal_contented]

[She nodded. The word thanks was almost out of her mouth,. but she bit it back and grinned instead.] "Owe ya an apple or three. Or you know... copying the new CD I got onto your music player?"

[smilingarmor]

You don't need to do anything, but the CD sounds lovely, thank you.

[mal_contented]

"I'll get right on it. Zapp me when you're done."

[smilingarmor]

'Zapp you'? I assume that means to contact you on the mirror?

[Sorry, Sylvando isn't quite hip to all this modern slang.]

[mal_contented]

[An eye roll and a chuckle] "Yes, that means contact me on the mirror."

[smilingarmor]

Oh good. If you wanted me to hit you with a lightning bolt, I'm afraid that's a teeny bit outside my area of expertise. But I can certainly contact you after I speak to him.

[Yes, he's mostly kidding, as indicated by the wink. But he also genuinely didn't know what the term meant exactly in this sense.]

[mal_contented]

[She laughed a bit and shook her head.] "Waiting on that then."

[smilingarmor]

[Sylvando gives a little grin, and ends the feed there for now.

Some time later, however...]

Well, Mal darling, I passed along your message. However, his opinions of you is still the same, and he's likely going to keep avoiding you for the foreseeable future.

[mal_contented]

[She rolled her eyes.] "Well then that's his loss. You did what you could. Need me to add more music to your MP3 plater?" [Mal for thank you.]

[smilingarmor]

If you would, darling. Just let me know when you have the time, and I'll make sure I'm here waiting.

[mal_contented]

"I could swing on in a bit, on my way to patrol." [For him, pretty much any time, but she wasn't going to say as much... ]

[smilingarmor]

Excellent! I'll go ahead and put some tea one then, eh? Just drop by whenever you're ready.

[mal_contented]

"If there is cake to go with that tea, I'll be there twice as fast."

[smilingarmor]

[Sylvando chuckles.]

I don't have any cake on hand, but I do have some cookies I picked up at the bakery earlier today. They're frosted sugar cookies in adorable little flower shapes.

[mal_contented]

"A bit Auradon, but it'll work."

Good place to wrap?

[smilingarmor]

I think it's due to the month; the clerk mentioned an old rhyme about 'April showers bringing May flowers'. But I suppose their shape will be rather a moot point once we start eating them, eh?

[He grins.]

In any case, I'll see you shortly.

Sure. TY for the thread!

[mal_contented]

"I'm not that short," [she said a bit archly, but with a grin as she cut the connection to head over.]
