“Glad to know you feel that way— about the rude.”
he was awfully strange; maybe she wasn’t used to his way of speaking, but he certainly struck her as different. deidre didn’t necessarily want to know if that was good or bad.
“So? What would you do with the rude?”
❛ The fragrance of complementary thoughts I take it. ❛
Virtues were thoughtful with him, although questionable at times due to his mannerisms. One, however, that was consistent throughout, was his hate for the idiotic and the rude. Something rarely shared.
❛ -- What I would do...? ❛
There was an airy laughter from which his throat allowed escape,
❛ What makes you think I'd wish to poison my gloves much less flesh with personally handling the rude? No, perhaps I simply gave that air. Nevertheless, believe me well, if any subordinates of mine cannot handle the rude then they themselves are less than them.
That's how I, Valbjörn, see it at least. Though if I had to personally handle the rude... Do you think they'd serve as fine fertilizer? ❛
schreckliich:
“I hope you’re joking! It’s not exciting at all. Really, if you count those couple customers that are awfully rude as exciting—- There really isn’t much fun in working with flowers… But new shipments are always nice for the time being, of course.”
she didn’t mind being asked questions about her work life— no one was ever really interested once she mentioned ‘flowers’ being her line of work.
❛ Noble, as previously stated, then. Quite the artistic virtue within it, no? ❛
Valbjörn gave a wistful sweep of his dextal arm, as if to express forms of appreciation despite a showcase of her work not being present. Though, if one were to judge based upon appearances alone she'd seem to lack the qualities of any stereotypical florist.
❛ The rude, shouldn't be allowed air; it's so wasteful for a resource to be spent of them. ❛

“You hunt? Oh. You don’t strike me as the type.”
”And yes, what I do is very interesting. I’m a florist.”
❛ And here I thought I was the iconic image of a huntsman. ❛
❛ What a noble profession-- Being a florist. So how's that other living coming along? Surely the life of a florist is not without ... excitement. ❛
In the most intrusive and sudden change from an understanding tone to that of an inquisitor , he seemed intrigued.

“Once — twice, perhaps.”
“—‘after all, am I not just a violent being?’ is what I believe you meant to ask, Valbjörn. You’ll find that in contrast to yourself, that the majority of our brothers and sisters, myself included— we are much more than these ‘violent beings’ you claim yourself and me to be.
Is it not concerning to be that simple? You would hope that there was more to you than just glorified violence, nature’s raw simplicity incarnate.”
❛ Truly harmful words, ❛
❛ our brothers and sisters-- unless you've forgotten -- follow orders of those above them. That, in fact, being us. Simplicity is key in survival, if they were all just beings that wrought violence with seldom regret then we would surely succeed at a rapid pace.
Mind you, Erik, I have an appearance to upkeep. Being a part of nature and serving her most basic instinct is all they need to seek. Our chatter of literary works and intricacies in existence remains above that. ❛
schreckliich:
“Skeletal beasts? So that means I’m not included. What do you do, Valbjörn?”
❛ You're only partly so. ❛
❛ I hunt, Deidre. I act as a sovereign clad in flesh. Though, your duties are surely more exciting. ❛

Valbjörn holds himself at a rather intermediate level; not finding himself any more useful than the average captain within the Jagdarmee despite his title. However this said, he enjoys introducing himself and speaking of himself in a holier than thou manner for the sheer reason that he can do it. As well as the artistic fact that it rather contrasts his personality of calmness and little empathy.
schreckliich:
”Bystander, loyal disciple, hairless creature of God. Whatever—- I’m Deidre. You?”
❛ Delightfully specific, ❛
❛ Valbjörn, one of purity that seraphs envy and skeletal beasts fear. Or, I'd prefer to say. Only the latter is true. ❛
❛ ... And you're supposed to be? ❛

❛ Erik, you've free time, no? ❛
❛ Have you read Titus Andronicus, my friend, I feel we may learn from it. After all, are we not just violent beings. ❛
