[How else would one model such a fine piece of jewelry?]

It's simply a reminder, minette.

[scepterschild]

Should I try and wear it often?

[araignee_du_soir]

If you wish.

[scepterschild]

I'll take that as a yes.

[araignee_du_soir]

Only if you wish others to know to whom you conditionally belong. I only like showing you off when you're with me.

[scepterschild]

[She doesn't care who knows or doesn't know about her and Widowmaker; whatever the weird thing they have is.]

Then I'll make sure to have it when we're together.

[Wanda already wears three necklaces and she doesn't mind adding a fourth.]

[araignee_du_soir]

Tres bien.

Did The Dark One at least package it properly?

[scepterschild]

Yes. It was in a velvet black box.

[Which she's keeping though it's hidden in her room.]

[araignee_du_soir]

Good. He and I have had miscommunication over specifics before.

[scepterschild]

He doesn't strike me as the listening type.

What happened before?

[araignee_du_soir]

I asked for more fitting decor to my suite. He decided to provide me with an old photograph.

[scepterschild]

Do you like the photograph?

[araignee_du_soir]

I do not know.

It is precious to me. I was not prepared to receive it.

[Which may explain why Widowmaker was more distant than normal the latter half of August.]

[scepterschild]

Then perhaps he gave you what you asked for, even in a strange way.

[araignee_du_soir]

I do not appreciate having this given to me without warning.

[scepterschild]

They have that tendency but it sounds like you've gotten used to making sure they give you want you want.

[araignee_du_soir]

It's times like this where I wish I had the capacity for anger. Instead of just irritation.

[scepterschild]

You can ask our hosts. They can give emotions as well as magic.

[araignee_du_soir]

[There were a few very long minutes before Widowmaker replied. Thankfully this had been over the tomes via written word and not the crystal as the look on the sniper's face as she read Wanda's message would have revealed she wasn't nearly as emotionless as she claimed to be.]

That would be a very bad idea.

[scepterschild]

Why is that?

Does anger frighten you?

[araignee_du_soir]

No.

[Possessing full emotions frightens her.]

I simply would not longer be able to function.

[scepterschild]

Why is that?

[araignee_du_soir]

Because I'm broken. I don't want to talk about this right now.

[The lines scratching out those words were heavy and quickly placed, but it's possible Wanda caught them in the moment before they were rendered illegible.]

[scepterschild]

Then not right now.

[It's a reprieve, that's all because Wanda wants to know.]

[araignee_du_soir]

[Another few long minutes before the script appears.]

Come make me forget. Please.
