[ The words are spoken with a lingering, loving attention. Every syllable is caressed by the tongue and lips before being allowed out. There's even a slight pause between words that makes the sentence measured and slow, like someone reading a line from an erotic novel. ]

You are now aware of your tongue.

[profanation]

Fair enough!

[ He doesn't sound put out at all. ]

[codecmoment]

Is it for your political studies?

[ Ardyn doing his PoliSci internship here in Lunatia. ]

[profanation]

In the same way that an uncaring boss tells a barista that they must try to up-sell a customer who only wants a small cup of black coffee.

[codecmoment]

[ What? He doesn't understand, but he gets tired of Ardyn getting tired of his inability to pick up on... whatever this is supposed to be. ]

You're just up to mischief, then?

[profanation]

Not at all. A higher-up in the Lunar Scientia just asked me to make and distribute a survey to the Moonblessed about their experiences with the government.

That's all.

[codecmoment]

Oh! Well... sorry, I can't help you with your busy work. I still respect what you're doing for us Moonblessed.

[profanation]

Ha! [ Ardyn sounds amused, but he's not displeased. ] I'm afraid I don't do much at all, but thank you.

[codecmoment]

Any time.

[ Phew. Actually having to talk to Ardyn made him less flustered. The lewd shine comes off when you deal with him in his normal context: a cheeky, ancient middle aged uncle looking for a nap. ]

[profanation]

Oh, I just had a thought!

Given your reaction, I imagine you've changed your mind about what I should be doing on the network here, then?

[codecmoment]

No, I'd prefer you didn't be mildly lewd without warning. I'm glad people aren't posting dickpics here as it is, except that one guy the one time.

[profanation]

But having me read things out is just fine?

[codecmoment]

How did you get that out of me chiding you?

[ This feels like a trap. ]

[profanation]

You told me before I should narrate things. That's what I'm referring to!

[codecmoment]

I mean, yeah... you have a nice voice. Soothing and warm, when you want it to be.

[profanation]

But not so much in practice, mm?

[codecmoment]

Just tell me what you're trying to get me to say.

[profanation]

I did!

[ It was hardly his fault that Hal forgot the context, wasn't it? ]

I suppose it hardly matters. Reality can be a lot less forgiving than fiction.

[codecmoment]

Yes, I like listening to your voice. It's sexy.

[ There you go, dude. ]

[profanation]

I wasn't fishing for a compliment, but thank you nonetheless, Hal!
