I think it's time we had a little fun. Wouldn't you agree?

[And he's laughing now.]

((OOC: Just the first three seconds will do. I couldn't find a video that was just him laughing. SIGH))

And what story are you telling, Sheik?

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

It is a tale of observance. It is a story of endurance. It is a book of subtle messages and inconspicuous meanings.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Do tell, what have you observed?

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

What incentive have I to answer such an inquiry from you?

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Only to satisfy a curious mind.

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

Hm.

[He chortles.]

I observe a man with ill intent.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Do you?

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

I do. What do you observe?

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Someone who is not what he seems.

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

Do elaborate.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

It is hard to say for certain. But there is more to you than you are letting on, Sheik.

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

As I'm certain there is more to you as well.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

How observant.

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

Are you mocking me?

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

You seem intelligent enough to figure it out without my saying so either way.

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

A valid point.

Do you claim to have no ulterior motive with your presence here? It is not as though I have not heard you before. It is not as though I have not observed you in the past. I wish to know of your plans.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Have you heard me say anything of that sort? If you have 'observed' me before, then you should know the answer, should you not?

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

Just because you haven't said it doesn't mean you're not thinking it. How many of us truly state what our intentions are? Especially if they are less than righteous.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

It was you who said you had observed me before. You should know my intent then.

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

Ah, but that would imply that my observance could be defined as omniscient, which isn't the case. My observance can only go so far. I can tell you what I've seen, but it may not reflect what your true and sincere motivation may be.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Then tell me what it is you have observed. And I will tell you if you are correct.

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

From what I have seen with my own eyes, you've not done a thing that would otherwise tarnish your startlingly clean reputation.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[A chuckle]

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

[He concedes.]

Which does imply that you've no malicious intent, but that's only with the eyes of mine. That's not to say any such thing is accurate.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Trust your eyes, Sheik. [Embrace the deception. He really wants you to.]
