"This is Angeal Hewley... distinctly not here. Leave a message, and I'll get back to you when I can. If it's important, Lazard, Genesis, or Sephiroth should know where I am."

Make a case for it then, Angeal Rhapsodos-Hewley.

[firsteditionbfs]

Why is it always myself that has to make a case when you never do? Still, if that is what you want, then so be it.

To start with, you were always a part of my family from the day we met. Of course it should be Hewley-Rhapsodos.

[rhapscdos]

Because mine objectively sounds better, and that's a case unto itself.

And damn you being such a sap. Fine, that's ONE (1) point for you.

[firsteditionbfs]

So yours is because it sounds nice, and mine has sentimental value. I feel that I should earn either double points, or you need to come up with an additional point.

And you love that I'm a sap.

[rhapscdos]

The aesthetic is important. And you said 'to start with' so continue your thought if you wish for double points and maybe I'll consider it. Maybe.

[firsteditionbfs]

Aesthetic is nothing without substance, mon couer. The Hewley name has plenty of that, I can promise you as much.

Besides, wouldn't it make your first name stand out that much more? If we're talking about aesthetic.

[rhapscdos]

Beloved, I'm not certain how to break this gently to you but we're both from nowhere. Our pedigrees have negative substance. So what's left is the aesthetic. A front on which I am winning, and will continue to win by having my surname first.

[firsteditionbfs]

Gen, you know that's absolute nonsense. That is negative nonsense.

[rhapscdos]

You're nonsense.

[firsteditionbfs]

I'm logical is what I am, Mr. Dumbapple Heir.

[rhapscdos]

Shut up and meet me in the garden. I'll show you "logical," you hillbilly.

[firsteditionbfs]

We are 100% not having a throwdown in my garden. Meet me in the training room in the city and we'll see how soon I can beat Hewley-Rhapsodos into your thick head.

[rhapscdos]

No. I insist on the garden and nothing less. I'll be there in 10 minutes, and if you don't show, I will hunt you down and drag you there.

[firsteditionbfs]

I guess you're just going to have to come and hunt me again. We'll see if you're capable of dragging me.

[rhapscdos]

Angeal Joseph Rhapsodos-Hewley. If you do not get your ass to this garden right now or turn your damn location on- so help me Goddess.

[firsteditionbfs]

Well, I am absolutely not ruining my garden in a stupid fight, so it appears that you're just going to have to find my location for yourself, aren't you?

[rhapscdos]

And me kicking your ass and dragging you back isn't going to ruin the garden?

Watch out, Geal. He's on the move.

[firsteditionbfs]

Goddammit, he was busy! He's always busy, but still!

Why are you insisting so much on having this fight in the garden of all places? Are you having flights of fancy about knights again?

[rhapscdos]

Hunting mode: engaged.

Because!

It's important, so shut up and show yourself already.

[firsteditionbfs]

Angeal has to start cleaning up and leaving everything to Squall now. Ugh.

Genesis, you could get such an easier response out of me if you could just tell me what's going on.

[rhapscdos]

Aaaaand look who just slammed the bakery door open.

"This would be so much easier if you would just come to the garden!"

[firsteditionbfs]

Goddammit, Genesis, he's still cleaning his hands. Angeal sighs, frowning over at Genesis from the sink.

"For a fight?"

[rhapscdos]

Genesis firmly plants his foot on the ground and scowls.

"No! It's not a fight; it's far more important than that."

[firsteditionbfs]

Well.... That has him pause, brow pinching together. More important? That's not what he would have thought, considering how the conversation started, and the threats of what seemed like it would be just another dumb scuffle....

"Then what?" Drying his hands hastily, Angeal goes over to his mate. "Is everything okay?"

[rhapscdos]

The petulant stance Genesis has taken melts away as soon as he sees the concern worrying his mate. As he draws close, Genesis reaches up, and gently cradles Angeal's jaw in his palms.

"Everything is fine, beloved. It's just that this is important, and you have to trust me on that. Come back to the garden with me."
