Allan, I’m uh.. done talking with Adonis.
(Callisto says quietly, coming up to him.)
@wekeep-itsecret
Did it go well?
Uh well.. he offered to.. take care of the problem. I said I was on board but I had to ask you..
In what way did he offer it?
..He has um.. flowers in the royal garden. And they do things. He said they would.. get rid of him.
So poison?
..Yeah.
Was he certain death was the only solution?
He said he could go to Father but it wouldn’t go well, and if we did anything else, he would come back.
Then I trust his judgement.
..Some of them would be really painful so I picked the one that would just put him to sleep. Not sure how to give it to him though.
How is it usually administered?
Up the nose.
Does it affect humans too?
I’d assume so.
I see.
He's unlikely to allow me close enough to him for me to administer it.
I don't like where my mind is going, but you might have to seduce him. It will give you a better alibi if the two of you appear to at least be friendly with each other and rumored to be falling for each other.
(He frowns and wrinkles his nose.)
..I feel like I would be cheating on you..
Fair enough.
Would it be?
If you feel like it would be, then I won't disagree.
..Are we alone?
I think so.
Could you just hold me? We can go to my room if you’d prefer that.
Yes, I can hold you. Your room would be the safest place for it.
(He sighs and smiles a little.)
..After you then?
[He nods and guides him back to his room.]
[Once they're both in, he removes some of his armor and sets it down in a neat pile.]
Is it easy to take off? Can I help?
I'll handle taking it off, highness, but thank you for the offer.
(He nods, watching him.)
…I like your muscles-
(He blurts out.)
[He laughs.]
Thank you, your highness.
(He nods with flushed cheeks.)
You’re.. welcome.
(He sits down on the bed.)
[Once he's finished he comes over and sits beside him.]
[He's dressed simply in a well made tunic and breeches.]
[He wraps his arms around him.]
Is this okay, your highness?
Mhm, this is nice.
(He sighs, hugging back.)
..I should really change.
Ah- I'll let you go so you can do that.
(He nods, kissing Allan’s cheek and going to change.)
(A minute later, he comes back with the makeup and jewelry gone, dressed in a simple dressing gown.)
You look good.
(His cheeks turn red.)
T-thank you, Allan..!
I.. also like your clothes.
(He sits back down on the bed.)
