[ Anyone Looking for Accommodations in the City Royale ]

[There's an address written in.]

Rent's paid through next month. Take it, I don't care. Landlord will be thrilled, I'm sure.

If there's more than one of you, settle it yourselves.

Quite the entertainer, our Paradisa. Parties and festivals and carnivals and balls. Don't know how you're not all sick of them, they happen frequently enough.

[He doesn't sound that bothered, though. In fact, there's a distinct upward swing to his tone. Someone's in a good mood for the first time in a long, long while.

There's a pause, and his voice starts to wander like he's splitting his attention.]

Still, can't complain. This one has the potential to be decently interesting. Ah, excellent.

[There's faint hissing in the background, from what sounds to be at least two or three of the fairies.]

Oh, be quiet. That's hardly the worst I could have done.

Me.

[And a couple others.

But mostly him. That's the point he's trying to make.]

Wow. I can't even handle the overwhelming humility I'm hearing right now.

You asked a question, I answered it. Not going to alter the facts just to protect your ego.

See here's the thing. My ego isn't even in the equation at the moment. I'm pretty sure it doesn't even have room in this conversation.

All the more reason not to bother with it, then.

And now you've done a good job of kicking it as it tries to take it's last, dying breath.

My specialty, so I'm told.

Wow, worst specialty I've ever heard of.

Well, one of my specialties.

I'm still thinking you might want to get rid of that one specialty.

I'm rather fond of it, actually.

Really? Because I don't think anyone else would be.

That would be the point.

So the point is just to annoy people? Alright then.

Not my fault people don't like being outmatched.

Does that count as outmatching people?

Most of what I do does.

And what do you do, mostly?

I observe, and I deduce.

... Sounds like an exciting hobby.

Not a hobby.

Sounds like a hobby to me.

It's a skill that I employ in my work.

[if you think you may have hit a sore spot, Peter, ding ding ding ding.]</small?

[ He sure does. ]

Do you actually get paid for it?

Yes.

[Well. Sometimes.]
