24 - Dictated - Rogue

[radiantwingedone]

[ Duke is bored - and moderately pleased that he hadn't eaten any of the mysterious food, from checking the journal. Avoiding people on holidays - or maybe just avoiding the new things about the holidays - seems to be a good plan here. ]

A question born of curiosity; what do you all consider an act of betrayal?

[ His voice is carefully neutral - well, perhaps a bit flat. This is perhaps a bit tricky of a subject to get a long conversation on from him. ]

Suppose the follow up question would be 'what is an appropriate reaction to being betrayed'?

[ He'll do his best not to be biased at any responses. ]

Comments

Written

[whistles_the_blues]

To forget and replace what's been forgotten.

Dictated always

[radiantwingedone]

[ His handwriting is terrible, so he won't reply that way. ]

As act or response? [ Because the more he thinks on that response, the more he thinks it could suit for both.. ]

He'll go dictated from now on too.

[whistles_the_blues]

[He doesn't write often he just figured it was a good way to stay anonymous, but it's awkward to write to someone speaking.]

Act

...a little of response as well.

dictated on into the sunset o/

[radiantwingedone]

[ Hey, Duke won't figure out names unless they're said. ]

... made sense as both.

Dramatic tumbleweed roll by as the credits roll.

[whistles_the_blues]

[He's more worried about other people listening in.]

You're right. It probably would have been easier to just say it like that too.

Dramatic horse neighing and... i have no idea even

[radiantwingedone]

[ Maybe he could have added 'filter to Duke if you like' to that post. Eh. ]

Assuming not mere mundane items. [ Being betrayed over a favored pencil getting replaced is a bit... silly. ]

[whistles_the_blues]

[Hindsight is twenty twenty. He doesn't really think straight when he gets on this topic.]

True, though what one person considers mundane may not be so for the other.

[radiantwingedone]

[ Unfortunately sharp twenty-twenty. ]

... Thought was of pencils.

[whistles_the_blues]

In that case yes. I was thinking of something with more sentimental value, others could consider it mundane.

[radiantwingedone]

Assumed so. Pencils were the 'mundane' guess.

[whistles_the_blues]

It would be rather silly to feel betrayed over pencils.

[radiantwingedone]

Agreed.

[whistles_the_blues]

...What about you?

What do you consider an act of betrayal?

[radiantwingedone]

.... Attacking those who saved you.

[whistles_the_blues]

...Agreed completely.

[radiantwingedone]

[ Welp.

Now its a hard time for him to figure out what to say. There's an uncomfortable exhale, and maybe a sound of hand through hair, because he is not particularly happy with this topic and he was stupid to ask these questions. ]

[whistles_the_blues]

I imagine since you asked the question, you were betrayed, right?

[radiantwingedone]

Accurate.

[whistles_the_blues]

[Now it was Blues' turn for a long awkward pause.]

As was I.

[radiantwingedone]

... Makes sense.

[ Probably why they're having this conversation. ]

[whistles_the_blues]

I also assume that means your trying to figure out what you should do about that betrayal?

[radiantwingedone]

Or if what had done about it was over reaction.

[ He's not really sure about his ability to make choices. ]

[whistles_the_blues]

It's possible. If you have the chance though, don't make the same mistake again.

[radiantwingedone]

[ This is a snort. ]

Avoiding a chance for a similar event.

[whistles_the_blues]

And that prevents the same mistake from being made again.
