"They definitely did," Bill said, "And part of the fun was Antonio making the guy believe his dick had disappeared, and making him feel unwell whenever he saw provocative stuff, like a dirty magazine."
"Yes, it was particularly karmic," Leofric agreed.
"And if I see him again, he'll be getting more of it," Antonio said, "I would have done more before, but those twins Russell hired decided to bail and took him with then, but they did describe it as taking out the trash."
"So hopefully they killed him for us," Bill said, with a smirk.
The look on Leofric's face suggested that he doubted that was the case, but he otherwise didn't say anything, and Bill hadn't noticed with his eyes on Antonio and Lilli for the most part.
But it seemed that Lilli was also impressed with his own trick, even if Bill thought hers was better. Antonio took a small bow for himself.
"Morse code," Bill explained to Lilli, "He's asking what we think of that. I do think it's neat, and a clever use of the magic. At least it means he could signal if something is wrong."
"Provided the morse code is understood," Leofric said, "Some have not needed to learn it."
"Heh, maybe I am a little bit biased," Bill said, although there was no shame in that response, "But I don't think anyone can blame me. I have good taste and know who to root for."
But then he fell into a quiet focus again, when Lilli got to working on the next stage of her performance. Antonio's eyes widened in some surprise at the sight.
"I believe Rook might like to see that," Leofric mused, "And possibly Erica as well."
"That is awesome!" Bill yelled out.
"Yes," Antonio simply agreed. He eyed the dragon in some surprise, and then thought crept into his glowing green eyes.
But then he got an idea, and he drew that light he had been flickering back to his fingertips. It danced around his hands as he stared up at the dragon.
"Amazing indeed," Antonio then said, a devious smirk creeping on his mouth, "But I believe it's missing something. A rider."
With that, he looked over at Bill, and Bill's arms suddenly locked themselves to his sides, like someone had grabbed him, and he hovered a few feet above the ground.
"Oh hell no!" Bill exclaimed, as he struggled to free himself from the ropes of light that kept him restrained, "You absolute prick!"
"I thought you might like the opportunity to ride a dragon," Antonio said, as he then launched Bill right up to the dragon's back with a flick of his wrist, ignoring Bill's annoyed threats, "Lilli, if you could, perhaps you would like to make this dragon resist being turned into a mount? I want to see if I have the potential to force a saddle and reins onto it, and then our volunteer rider."
"Shithead!" Bill shouted down at Antonio then.
"I am once again glad that I thought to put up that barrier," Leofric only said.
