doves and ravens fly the same
"Well I'll be damned. Gettin' a compliment from you might just be a reason to keep on livin'." Vesper mutters with a roll of his eyes, the sort that almost had him looking boyish rather than icy and aloof. Almost.
Shrugging as if to say if you say so about Flora, not unlike earlier iterations of Jack, Vesper couldn't quite see the benefit of love and definitely couldn't understand the appeal of only ever fuckin' one person for the remainder of his life. But if that's all Niki had to share about the Doubletake, so be it.
The cogs and wheels in the necromancer's mind gild if only briefly as he considers the flourishes he'd added to the pins, and gods if Vesper didn't think his sister's were getting the short end of the stick by not bein' able to see into Niki's mind the way he could. Every mark, every delicate twist of metal, every bit of heat and resistance that it had taken to craft the intricate designs were splayed out in the boy's mind, fitting together seamlessly before blasting themselves apart into their individual steps once more.
"Oh gods, soon as they figure that out they'll be demandin' an entirely new set." Vesper says with an exasperated sigh, but a keen ear will be able to pick out the affection in it. "You could, sure. But what about alterations?" He wonders with a raise of his brows. "Besides, it's Deepfrost. Even the tropics get chilly this time of year. Well, not like this, but.." Glancing toward the door where someone has just entered, bringing a gust of cold air with them, the demigod curls his lip.
