Hey, you've reached the great Zelos Wilder! Leave me a message and I'll get back to you when I can. And if you're one of my hunnies, I'll get back to you even sooner ~ ♥

We certainly do our best. ♥

[Peony takes one of those bottles Zelos has just set out, starting on it with a short nod to Guy.]

Though yeah, I've met her. Sweet girl.

[A pause and he peeeers over at Guy, sly lean and all.]

Why, Guy, I didn't think you'd be the type~

[chosen_gigolo]

Woah, what does that mean?!

[Zelos sets down his bottle and gives Peony a sidelong look. If that was meant as a jab at Zelda's honor, this is gonna be a real short night.]

[relinquishing]

Ouch... yeah, geez, I'd like to know the same thing...! [Although that sounds more like a crack at him than a crack at Zelda. Peony, you say that like Guy hasn't been around a princess before.]

[chokmahemperor]

[Peony laughs, hands up and eyes closing with the breadth of the grin.]

I just didn't expect Guy to be the one to test the socio-political ladder~

[And Peony's well aware he's the pot in this.]

Always so nervous around royalty and all~

[Because yes, Guy, he does remember that meeting.]

Feel free to tell me if this isn't okay for him to know

[chosen_gigolo]

Oh that.

[He raises the bottle back to his lips, totally relaxed again.]

Well it's not like it matters here, right? After all, if it did, pretty sure we wouldn't all be drinking together. Isn't that right, Your Majesty~?

[He'd heard Jade call Peony that more than once laconically around the club. He would have simply passed it off as a joke between old friends but the amount of respect Guy gives to Peony sort of got him thinking; what if it's not just a stupid nickname?]

[relinquishing]

Pretty sure I'd have my hands full if that was the case, yeah.

[Because being a manservant was great like that - always work to get done, after all, and no way in hell would you think of socializing casually with those of the upper class. Who knows, he might even be the one serving the drinks.

He's not gonna think about how life would be for him otherwise. As far as he concerned, that isn't his prerogative right now. It could be, but it isn't. So he just casts a casual glance at the Emperor, tipping back a bit in his seat to see how he responds to Zelos.]

[chokmahemperor]

[It's so second-nature to hear his title used in teasing that Peony scarcely even notices that Zelos has used it. As such, he laughs, nodding his head as he takes another swallow from his own bottle.]

Of course it doesn't matter~ It shouldn't matter at all, anywhere. Love is an indestructible force, you know. ♥

[Complete with wink and too-broad grin. There's more serious commentary he could add to that, but it's neither the time nor place.]

So, any interesting stories about this romance of yours, Guy?

[chosen_gigolo]

Our resident sap here leaves flowers on the porch sometimes~

[Giving you a wry look, Guy. He's amused, but he also thinks it's pretty adorable. Guy's style of courting seems to be more akin to puppy love, which suits him just fine. Not that he should get involved more than he already has, not when Zelda has resources for revenge.]

[relinquishing]

Hey, come on, there's nothing wrong with that.

[It's said in mock offense, but man, Zelos, please! He's not a super showy guy, alright? Not all the time, anyways. And they make her happy! Small victories for the ego and the pleasure of the lady.]

It depends on what you mean by interesting, I guess. I mean, it's not like much has changed. We're still good friends, we spend time together. I think she's special, she hasn't really killed me yet. I don't know, it's not really much for gossip.

[Or he could just be modest. But that's what the beer is here for.]
