Okay, Mom.
[ He feels some degree of defensiveness and petulance now as if he's a child reacting to being scolded. Dark's reincarnated soul has only resided in this body for 15 years, after all... some of his new, easily provoked habits tend to show it. ]
Well at least I know what to do. I just need to avoid Iconoclast Meridians and try to snuggle up to some Advocates or Exalt ones instead.
[ Said flatly. Suddenly he's reminded of the stash he'd stumbled across Gray and Mordred with. He really doesn't want to do this, but the alternative - having someone even more undeserving than him shuffled up to the cause (like Gray) - is so much worse. ]
Don't bother looking. I'll take care of it for you.
[ Just please make sure your hands are washed first, Dark. ]
[ A muffled emotion slips through the communion as if Dark is trying to weigh whether or not he is satisfied or ungrateful for the circumstances. It eventually subsides when he realizes he shouldn't be picky, but a tired annoyance crosses in the sense that he'd hoped for a fanservice moment with, surely enough, a hot girl. It's okay though, Eustace, I will always appreciate you and never take you for grantedβ ]
Okay.
[ The reply is so simple. Like a child who begrudgingly accepts the futility of piano lessons after school. ]
[ THERE IS NO NEED TO MAKE IT BIGGER, HE WILL FIND IT JUST FINE.
See, case in point: some 20 minutes later Eustace shows up at the castle, peering up at its overly extra outward decor. Does he go through the front door....? You know what, he'll ask. ]
[ Dark is quiet and without resistance or sense of humor in that 20 minutes, and mutters in a High Ancient language to dispel his warding sigil. Once the seal has been lifted, his attention becomes just a little sharperβ felt through communion. ]
You should be good now.
[ There shouldn't be any auditory hallucinations or ballsack itching, like this. ]
[ What a mysterious man...Thanks for saving his balls Dark, he needs those for later.
Truthfully though, he's more taken aback by the interior of the swanky castle to think too much about its host, frowning a little more at the opulence inside. Definitely not his cup of tea, and he'll be happy to leave again once all this is done. ]
He does in fact head towards the statue after a long assessing stare at said naked sculpture, though he's certainly standing a healthy distance away by the time Dark arrives.
What if he gets Dark cooties from standing too close? :/ Definitely better for him to have volunteered for Discord cleansing than some other poor sap though. ]

But that's only because I hadn't started looking yet, and most of my harem is non-shardbearers. Yuri just got a head start on me is all.

I'm a Meridian. I'm an Exalt. I don't have any Discord problems of my own currently.
[ What more could Dark want??? Probably a hot girl, so sorry he can't deliver on that front. ]
