[ It's a fine day in Amaurot, the sun is bright, the birds are singing...
And Azem's apparently set her robes on fire and getting reprimanded, so Hythlodaeus has just seen her off with Emet-Selch. He's smiling to himself when he spots Venat, eyebrows lifting as he chuckles. ]
I wasn't expecting to see two dazzling faces today. Though your protegee may be a little too dazzling today, wouldn't you agree, Venat?
[She was here on one of her many fleeting visits. Though she had nothing to do with the robes catching aflame, probably, Venat has still heard about this at every turn today.
She just laughs about it. ]
Such is the nature of us holders of the name “Azem”.
[She knows Hythlodaeus to be flirtatious and personable, so she’s handing that back tenfold today. ]
[ That gets a bright, airy laugh out of him. Ah, she's always so pleasant and playful- it's hardly any wonder he's so smitten with the current Azem, when her predecessor is ever so encouraging with her mischief. ]
So it is, my dear. Though it has been quite a while since I've enjoyed your company. Perhaps the archives have held more interest for you of late?
[ Oh he's teasing, don't think he didn't notice her visiting there often. ]
[ She can take a few guesses as to why her successor is so well loved, rather, who taught her how to be so charming. She will take full blame for that one. ]
Have they? I've many things to study here and again.
[ He IS teasing. How terrible! Though it just makes her giggle. ]
What things have your interest as of late, darling Hythlodaeus?
[ Can anyone truly beat Venat at charm... there are so few who can match up. He smiles and beckons her over to follow- he knows she's likely only visiting, so they may as well make the most of the time they have. ]
Oh, the usual, I'm afraid. Ever since the fashion to create glittering effects to spells has accompanied flight in concepts, I've had a bit of a time devising ways to keep all that sparkling contained.
[ He will lead her to a part of the Bureau where they can relax and chat. A nice little indoor garden space, that the Chief can have to himself if he wants! ]
Please, make yourself at home, Venat. What brought you back all the way, besides your beau, of course?
[ You have to be some level of charming in her work. She just shakes her head and shrugs. She does like to come visit the archivist every couple of...stretches of time. She only left for a few months this time, knowing they had much to discuss.
She follow him out to the garden and sits somewhere comfortable and cozy to continue their chat. ]
Perhaps I had just missed seeing the faces of those dear to me. Nothing more. You know how I travel, Hythlodaeus. Here and gone just like the wind.
