Feyd's torso twisted in his chair, turning towards the girl who spoke quietly enough that it must have only been for him. Not an easy task, talking in whispers within Giedi Prime's cavernous halls and even the privacy of his own study, but she had managed well enough. The na-baron was quick to his feet, gesturing in a listless acknowledgement of her presence. "Lady Hara," Her name was spoken like a reprimand, yet despite this the next words were flippant. "All this talk of loyalty feels treasonous."
There's a gust of uncertainty when she considers this might have been a misstep. His words paired with the inflections in his voice make her nervous. She watches him raise, catching a glimpse of his expression, but it doesn't offer much to get a clear understanding of what he's thinking.
Perhaps, she needs to soften what she seeks. She had never been suited to political jargon anyways. "Oh, yes, very inflammatory..." She feels dismissing the idea of treason with an air of guilt or offense or anything upfront negative would not favor her well. Instead she leans into it, playfully. "I want to be friends."
She might have been in a rush to dismiss it, but Feyd certainly wasn't ready to let go of the thread that quickly. "Friendship can exist without loyalty, so why all the talk of it?" The question was posed as he leaned his weight against the desk, carved stone, all a part of the minimalism that brought a coldness to the space.
That was, of course, a stark contrast to the actual temperature of the entire facility, which would have been unbearably hot if not for the climate controls put in place. Between the atmosphere and it's heavy clouds, and the output of the industry surrounding the city of Barony, Feyd couldn't recall a time he'd ever felt cold at home.
A low light was cast over them both by a series of projections that hung over his desk, each a planet with their moons, each rotating in accordance with their own cycles. One of the moons gazed his brow, the projection stuttering and clipping, but he seemed to ignore it. "Are you up to something, then?"
what doesn't kill you makes you a little strange and off-putting
@orestei It is. It would be. For a moment there's only panting breaths, the ebbing stillness of a duel quickly won, the hush of sand disturbed where Feyd-Rautha kneels defeated. Only the moons bear witness. The crysknife draws a prick at the hollow of his bared throat, the only blood drawn this night. Twin blades, no doubt poisoned, lay dashed well enough away for Paul to feel comfortable in forgetting them. He would not die tonight. Yet, neither of them should be here. This isn't what he'd seen. What had shifted? What had broken the glass? "A Harkonnen assassin speaks of humanity. Does he also see the irony?"
It was reflex that sent his hand to his neck, to deflect that primitive blade, but the Fremen was quick. Feyd's gloved hand grabbed at the air, only to find the crysknife had aleady withdrawn, and his skin stung for it.
He didn't need to see it to know the wound was small. Why? Was this his own tactic, turned against him? The thought flit across his mind, only to be cast aside; for if that were the case, he'd be dead in minutes.
"An assassin?" The incredulity came with ease. His hands dropped to his side, fingers sifting through the sand at his knees. an idle motion, flexing the stiff shoulders of his still suit - a still suit that two cycles ago had never been worn. It would have been nice to break it in a little more before running into, well. This.
"Would it be any less ironic for a Fremen to speak of it?"

“Are you letting pride cloud your judgment?” (from @fluxofthemouth )
"Pride. Honestly, Piter - what does pride have to do with this? Do you think I'm not taking it seriously?" He waved a hand over the map, with its tiny and colorful markings contrasting the gravity of their situation. The Baron's death had been months in coming, yet Feyd hadn't expected everything to immediately fall apart upon his passing.
A brother gone rogue, and it was all they could do but hope he was too blundering to manage organizing a challenge to the succession. A rival house on the Eastern Sea that was no doubt licking its chops at the chance to seize on the chaos plaguing the land - his land, now.
Frankly, he was surprised Piter was still here, and recognized that he should be grateful for it. There was a reason that Vladimir had kept the man in his inner circle, and he'd claimed Piter had proven his worth in plenty of surprising, unrevealed ways. Feyd's gaze shifted to the slender man, and he inhaled slowly. Recanted, inwardly.
"But go on."
that the league of extraordinary evil's plot against paul atreides involved popularising tarot cards is just so funny to me. like, the reasoning behind it is really clever - the odds of getting any particular three card spread are 76³-76²=433,200, per spread, so if you fill the canonically largest city to ever be built with religious pilgrims asking the cards whether they should get the fries every five minutes, the number of randomised possible outcomes quickly becomes impossible for the human mind to contemplate, thus muddying the waters of prescience - but the idea of "we're gonna get a whole buncha people hooked on gambling to throw off the god-emperor's precognition" is just so simple that it sounds laughable. dune messiah au where they turn arrakeen into las vegas and muad-dib is immediately rendered utterly powerless.

"Happy birthday. And congratulations." It sounded frigid, but Paul decided quickly it was a proper reflection of how it felt. Eyes downcast to the gum-speckled concrete, he toed a broken corner, kicked it. Loosed a short, exasperated sigh. "I'm... living with Duncan again. You probably know that."
He looked to Feyd again, recalling with uncomfortable clarity what had transpired in the forest and the parting gift he'd been given. Reflexively, Paul grimaced. "Have you stopped?" he asked, quiet and discreet in deference to a nearby pedestrian. "That's all I want to know."
It sure came off frigid, too.
He waited for the woman to pass out of ear shot, and it forced him to sit in an uncomfortable silence, head swimming.
"Have you?" Feyd fired back the moment he could, a sharp edge to his voice that hadn't been there when he'd first approached Paul. Even then, he seemed to hesitate, visibly grappling with his own temper.
"I've been more careful with what I'm practicing. Sticking to more of what we used to do." He didn't mention how diluted it felt compared to what they'd conjured together. "It's not fair to ask me to stop all together. You're treating this like... like an excommunication."
Oh he’s so insane for this!!
