[An idiot, yes. But maybe not for the reasons Hisoka might assume. Chrollo squeezes his eyes closed.]
You don't understand. [Don't understand his drive to demolish that man. Don't really understand why he's holding off on it, either.] ...but, of course, you wouldn't.
[After all, what does Hisoka know about ties? About that bond - thinner than water and thicker than blood? The ties that bind him even now, across dimensions, or universes. Across worlds.]
I would spend a century in prison for them without regret, but it wouldn't solve anything. And nothing about this is fun for me.
[Amusing at times, yes, in that sadistic way he has sometimes. It's like bleeding an enemy one drop at a time - it almost makes him understand Feitan. But without the eventual cutting of a throat, there's far less pleasure in the bleeding.]
That's what you don't understand. This isn't a game.
Except, I suppose, to you.
[Ambiguous meaning, perhaps. But he's not stupid. Having Hisoka show up at the hostage exchange point ready for a battle was suspicious enough, but his little comments on the Kurta's post? He's definitely aware that something went on there, although he doesn't yet have the presence of mind to devote significant thought to it.]
Fine. I'll put it off.
But not forever. One day, I'll cut him open and turn his heart into my latest trophy.

[A long gaze to no where listening to him and most of the time a statement like that wouldn't really bother him or even interest him. But for some reason Chrollo of all people saying that to him makes him halt and frown. 'But of course you wouldn't' and that bothers him. But he isn't sure why and suddenly realizes he shouldn't care. So he stops thinking about it, even if the fact that he thought that at all was new and strange. He's never been the type of person to look into how he feels, he just feels and often times accepts it as just that.]
No, you're right. I suppose I really wouldn't. [Said almost thoughtful and without that joking flare he often has when this concern and caring subject or rather his lack of understanding of it comes up. He really doesn't understand it, but it really, does seem like such a thing if to make this man he thought so impressive be swayed like this. At times he felt Gon's connection to people and what it did made him as interesting as well... Though to Hisoka if he wanted something to happen he did it without needing anyone else to give him the drive. He never needed people to fight for. Never had any. But perhaps he's starting to understand the appeal. The fact that he views it as such a weakness doesn't help him to understand it though...]
[Not fun? And selfishly he frowns again. But no, of course he wouldn't. He's doing what he is with Hisoka as work isn't he? He sometimes forgets when Chrollo seems to be enjoying it. No this is just as much a deal to him as it is Hisoka, to end at some point. That's all. Though thinking of it like that starts to frustrate him. Mutual right? He'd rather Chrollo enjoy it, but why would he?]
[A breath, leaning back a little and closing his eyes.]
Whatever it is you need to then. [Said with a droning, near bored tone. But he's bothered. Perhaps there's annoyance in his voice, but Chrollo would only see it as him annoyed at Chrollo expressing such interest in fighting Kurapika when he lacks such desire for a fight with Hisoka. It makes sense that Hisoka would just be annoyed at that, right? But he was bothered before he heard that and now he just...]
I suppose I'm done here then. [Sighs through his nose, aiming to disconnect but lingers, not.... Wanting to but at the same time why string out speaking to him now...
A good few moments pass before he finally disconnects.]

[Chrollo frowns a little, because... there's something off about the way that went. It isn't the words. The words were fine. But the tone...]
[Something. And then that hesitation, something...]
[...it pisses him off a little, actually. That he's worrying about it, wondering about it. That he's thinking about it when he could be thinking about Kurapika, about his murdered friends, about things that matter - the only things that should.]
[But there's something.]
[He closes his eyes, presses his lips together, and presses a few buttons.]

im sure uve seen that exposing network post, tho if not, i suggest u look at the network now. ♦ wat a reminder of how difficult secrets r 2 keep here, hm? ♣
I'm not certain whether to be annoyed or interested.
Perhaps a bit of both.
[It would definitely be annoying if his file were ever leaked. It's not. Exactly flattering information, at least in the eyes of people he normally wouldn't care about but is currently forced to be concerned over.
...on the other hand, hey power list. How convenient.]

well if anything, the info there will be useful 2 us. ♥
Indeed. However, two leaks in a handful of months makes it seem likely to occur again. It may be something to consider getting "in front of," so to speak.
Maybe. It's something to consider. As it stands, you're the only one here aware of my abilities or history.
All of that said, I seem to have gotten off on a tangent. Apologies.

being the sort 2 enjoy allies, i imagine ull work to fix that. tho that reminds me, im allianced with revan now. ♥
im doing it 2 get closer 2 him, hes unwilling to play with me 4 now. but should i play my cards right who knows. ♠ hes quite enthralling. tho his powers continue to allude me. ♦ i know he wishes to use me as a tool to defeat those that cross paths with him, so that atleast will prove amusing. ♥
[...give him a few minutes to digest that, because he's annoyed and he's not sure why. No, take that back, he's sure why, he's just pissy about it.]
I see. How exciting for you.
I'm a bit surprised that you're capable of finding anyone "enthralling" if their powers remain unknown.

without this ability, i had 2 find out on my own. but potential isn't hard to see. ♥ if anything hell prove worthwhile, tho i cant say ill be as accessible as i have been. im sorry~~ ♣
[THAT STINGS, YOU JERK. But behold as he shows fuck all of it.]
It's to be expected. You've always been fickle.
[...okay maybe that was a little passive aggressive.]

o r u mad? ♣
[Some venom there, Chrollo? How endearing~ He likes it.]
[Some venom there, Chrollo? How endearing~ He likes it.]
Why would I be? I've always known that about you.
[So basically... yes.]
[So basically... yes.]
i suppose ur right, as a transmuter it only makes sense that i lose interest quickly. tho u mentioning it now makes me wonder, chrollo, i said nothing about losing interest in revan as of yet. ♣ so y would u bring it up?
Edited 2015-02-28 02:31 (UTC)
I didn't say anything about that either, so why would _you_ bring it up?
because us said i was fickle, do u say that because i wont b as accessible 2 u? o chrollo u r 2cute. ♥ 
> u < 
> u < [And now he feels ridiculous, but he's still kind of annoyed. Confusing.]
I'm not being cute. It's an observation.

[Riciulous is fine, he's being just as ridiculous in his accusations, not that he doesn't think they have a hint of truth to them. He- isn't as naive to the connection between them as it might seem, though he ignores it far more than Chrollo manages to.]
it was a lie anyway, i imagine something like this will only leave me more sensitive and in need of ur company. ♥
[Like that will- make you feel better, right.]

[...that made him laugh. It didn't really make him feel better, but... at least he's amused now.]
Noted, I suppose.
[At times like this he wants to spar with like five different people and tell you about it just to piss you off, Hisoka.]
You really are a difficult person.
