Her name's Clara and she doesn't talk. She'll either write or sign, if you know it. Pretty uh, to the point personality. Not dry - she's got a lot going in there - but she's the rational kind of person.
Usually.
I don't think she'll give you any trouble though. She likes women! And. She doesn't like me that much so maybe don't tell her I sent you. Might sour the mood.
You wanna take some guesses? Might be fun to hear what kind of shit you think I get up to with mute, no nonsense lesbians.
She's not gay though. I think. There was a guy once but its eh, complicated.
Women are easier.
So, both. Please fuck her, she's gonna need the help. But she'll probably like you, too!
[The implication: nothing Kiritsubo does with Clara will receive the respect of absolute confidence. Charlie knows she's very capable of spurning his prying, but he's gonna ask.]
Women are easier? My friend, you amuse me so terribly well ♡
But I do know what you intend to say, so I shall not lecture you.
As to what you could have done to be so disliked by a mute, no nonsense bisexual… I am forming an image in my mind’s eye now. Do give me a bit of some hints, though, hmm? Anything fangy involved?
[“Absolute confidence” doesn’t even exist… so Kiritsubo is not going to be dishonest and pretend that in the right circumstances or the right reason she would not answer those questions, so.]
Sure, I can do both.
[She’ll get to know (and get to know) this Clara. Or try to, at least.]
[Charlie, leaning against the wall with a bouncing leg and a skewed smile on his face, is very much another gossip girl.]
I did the shanking too! [Hmph!]
No, she didn't specify at all. Something about help her get revenge or help get these guys off her case. Both?
But she didn't "hire" me, I did it as a favor. [He did it so he could be the guy 'on her case' instead.
And because he fucking hates necromancers.]
I guess that's something good to know about her. She's fussy. Asks for stuff then gets mad if you don't give it to her the exact way she had in mind. [As if he's not fussy too.]
Well if it was a favor that she didn’t have the means to pay for…
“Beggars can’t be choosers” is a phrase for a reason.
Unless of course… She could have, and you offered first. Not that I would suspect you of having some sort of ulterior motive for doing anything like that for free…
[Somewhere in the resort, Kiritsubo is chuckling.]
I like helping people, what can I say!? [Cutely does not comment on the ulterior motive bit. They both know.
As for the details...]
Eehg, it was a little more complicated. She paid in loyalty. Not to me, but the people I work for.
Does she make good on that? Not really, but we're working on it. [Disobeying Charlie is disobeying the Vampire Government, don't you know?]
This guy was giving everyone problems, so I might've ended up doing something about him anyway. What she asked for was to make it personal. That's something else you better know about her.
She's always making shit personal. [There's more vitriol in that complaint than is typical, but text saves him the exposure and the conversation moves on-]
You can make sure to tell people how generous I am too, eh? [Free advertising!]
Lovely and violent, huh? I'd agree with you here, but. [He licks his lips in a moment of contemplation. Charlie enjoys when other people engage in needlessly personal spats. Less so, being a part of them. Clara lends his bloody delights a context he's not fond of.]
With most people, yeah. With her, it's one or the other.
Maybe you can get both though! You're good at getting what you want!
Violence wasn’t as fun, anymore… when she didn’t get to watch Kiyoami indulging in it. When she wasn’t indulging in it beside him. Now it’s just some other thing that has to be done.
- But you know what, that other conversation IS better, so-]
Even though I’m a very saintly greedy. Don’t I share all my toys with you… ? With nary a word of protest… nay, there is even encouragement… and gossip…
See, how could I complain about you saying something so nice about me? [He says, knowing full well there are scenarios he'd complain about it in jest and scenarios where he may even complain about it in earnest.
It's the little lies that make things fun.]
You share your greed with me, I'd say! Your toys, you... all of you. Yeah. You got so much of it you make me greedy. [Affectionate. Even if he knows the dangers of surrendering to temptation.]
So of course I'm gonna say yes! Gimme someone. Anyone.
[Yet he would, and she would accept it. Because she always accepted (it).]
So if you want to share in my greed again sometime... and you either find yourself in longing without me or simply wish to delight me with a rousing pre-fuck tale...

Probably not the best time to mention I mostly only know JSL…
So you want me to fuck her so her suit doesn’t torment her so? Or does she need a friendly, womanly shoulder?

I think you're doing a pretty good job getting there without a hint. Not that she'd like me if I wasn't. Like that.
Okay, listen. [Desire to gossip triumphs over desire to keep coy little secrets.]
She asked me to help her kill a guy, right!? So I do that, but after I'm done she gets mad that played too much of a part in it!
no subject
And I’m listening.
[insert “gossip girlies twirling her finger in the phone cord where she lays on her bed kicking her feet gif” here]
Mad that you killed the guy in a biting way and not a good old fashioned shanking? Picky, picky.
Did she specify the method of death when she hired you? Or was it just “dead”?
no subject
I did the shanking too! [Hmph!]
No, she didn't specify at all. Something about help her get revenge or help get these guys off her case. Both?

You think I'm fussy!? [Aww babe]
1/2
[And more, since that room in the basement but. They probably don’t talk about that, now do they? Not yet anyway.]
I’ve always found making things personal to be a bit of a bad habit, but…
It’s also the source of almost everything both lovely and violent in the world.
Something I can ask her about, I suppose.
no subject

no subject
[He's confident Kirtisubo can navigate Clara without his help. In fact, he thinks it'll be rather easy.
They both have a fondness for shapeshifting, after all.]
no subject
I can say “fastidious” if you like that one better, though.
no subject
No, I can be "fussy". [He'd never be able to deny it in earnest. Some arguments cannot be won, and self awareness spares him from them.]
But that means I get to call you greedy, right? [Said with the utmost affection, of course.]
no subject
I’ll take “greedy”.
Even though I’m a very saintly greedy. Don’t I share all my toys with you… ? With nary a word of protest… nay, there is even encouragement… and gossip…
Shall I give you someone?
Someone for Clara.
