“How fascinating. Was that a slip of the tongue?” A chuckle of dark amusement is almost involuntary as he slumps back against the wall. What a splendid sight indeed, bearing the weight of such dagger-pointed threats so early in the morning. It accomplished the job of alertness much better than any standard cup of coffee. “I must say that reveals a lot about you as a person if I am occupying a space in your head that frequently. Tell me, did you craft an imaginary space just for me? I’d like to be comfortable if you’re allowing me to stay there in long durations of time.”
Wasn’t it like this from the start? The threats and bloodstained declarations that would be poetic, surely, if studied as a passage in some archaic book. How romantically intimate, he jokes to himself as violet eyes scour his opposite for an all too expected smile that was seeped with malice. Not that he would have it any other way. Fyodor wags a finger, not batting a lash nor minding the seriousness behind Dazai’s words. “You would do well to mind your temper. How can you plot to kill me without an utterly clear mind? I expect you to give it your all. What a shame – I thought you were better than to go through with half-baked plans while letting your emotions control you.”
For someone who wished for the sweet release of death, it astounded him how fervently he fought to foil his own plans. Heroism at best, an utter folly of humanity at worst. Both equally entertaining in their attempts. It would be fantastic to watch it all crumble down at the foundation. For now, he found the challenges faced before him all the more pleasing to piece through and deal with. What fun is there in everything going to plan, anyway? A battle of wits was far more appreciated than an underwhelming display of mediocrity. His eyes wander then, past the brunette and over his shoulders, as his face went back to a neutral state of nothingness.
“You’ve sought me out this far. For what reason? To threaten me? If that’s all, I’ll be taking my leave. I’m a busy man with a different set of priorities than your own.”
