You have no right to be angry with me when you are the one who humiliated me, refused to heed my warnings, and violated my trust. What is this about? You outright chose Cassidy over me and now you are disappointed because it is me you are stuck with?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I was trying to protect both him and you.

[herrstory]

I understand this was your logic. [ Misguided though it was. ] But it does not change the fact that you utilized your power on me in a way that crossed a boundary. I never minded you using it to put me on my knees or to display your dominance. But when you forced me to change my attitude, that went too far.

I still believe in you even so. And what I fail to understand is why you have suddenly stopped believing in me much the same. Why are you treating this as though it was something I did? I did not make Cassidy the waste of life he is. Yet even so, you are allowing his opinions to poison your thoughts when I have spent many more months by your side.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Right... I did, that... That is true.

[He had crossed that line. He assumed what he had interpreted as a dire situation justified an abuse of his own power. He compelled Starr. Forced him to relent so that Cassidy wouldn't be tortured by his hand.]

But I am not blaming you.

[He just resented that Starr had been right.]

[herrstory]

[ That's good. That's progress. ]

If I had my way, he would not be in this world. He never would have been here. Then, you never would have had to go through this. But unfortunately, I cannot change that you did. All I can do is promise I will not disappoint you as he has.

[slightlyoffchilt]

[Jokingly:] Do you mind if I hold you to that?

[But also not jokingly.]

[herrstory]

That would be fine.

[ Because Starr is confident in his ability to be the loyal henchman until he had reason to not be. ]

Things are going rather well here, by the way. I am confident I will be able to return to you sooner than expected and with everything I had promised upon leaving. Your influence will extend across seas. And should you wish to celebrate this upon return, well, I am dee, tee, eff as it were.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Dee tee eff?

[A moment, before the meaning of the acronym hits.]

Who taught you that?

[herrstory]

I am up on the hip lingo used in these modern days. Part of the Grail's training is learning how to decipher chatspeak, the language of most heathens.

[slightlyoffchilt]

This is more uncomfortable than I thought it would be.

[herrstory]

What is uncomfortable? Me utilizing modern slang or the thought of copulating with me?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I think this would be yet another fight that I'd trip into, so I will tactfully abstain.

Your personal interest is politely noted.

[herrstory]

Please. I will hardly be broken up inside if you are uninterested.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I'm not saying that, I'm simply treading carefully.

[herrstory]

For what purpose?

[slightlyoffchilt]

So hold your good graces.

[herrstory]

You are already in them for denouncing Cassidy.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Well. Thank goodness for that.

[herrstory]

[ Out of the blue question, but. ]

Where does Jack store his man meat in the hospital?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I -- Assume. In his office.

Why?

[herrstory]

Simply wondering. Making sure there are no secret stores of dead bodies in our work place. I assume he is only allowed to keep parts and not the full thing at any given time?

[slightlyoffchilt]

He should not be keeping parts in the hospital long term, so I presume you are speaking primarily about his snacks? You have a thumb on some pulse, Starr, spit it out.

[herrstory]

He told me he had some stored in case of emergency. Then proceeded to play coy about their location. I simply figured I would ask you instead while I had you on the line. I do not want to go through my drawers and find a real severed penis among my toys.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You certainly should not have to suffer that, Klaus.

[herrstory]

You do not sound too broken up about the potential prospect of it, though.
