Something slow. Like a restless poison, under the skin. To have it too quick would devoid a man of satisfaction, so...it must linger, yes. It must fester. And then, when the time comes...well! To truly take what is yours, to grab all you can, to force irony and pain and fear down their throat...wouldn't that be the sweetest revenge? Mmmm. Sweet like nectar...
...Well, for one thing, I'm not human. I'm a Heroic Spirit. I existed in life as a human being, as a beast of beauty of sorts, but now my existence is something different altogether.
[its not like people just naturally have sharp teeth, or anything!]
Well, you have to be someone who stands tall in history. You are a figure of legend, someone who is spoken of for years and years to come. Sometimes, that amalgamation of those legends, those passed-down histories, becomes a Heroic Spirit that is able to be summoned by a Master to do their bidding.
I am................the Caster of Limbo! An unusual title, apologies. But Servants usually do not give our their True Names freely. If I was someone you were familiar with, you'd know my inherent weaknesses, no? Besides, my True Name is not worthy to mention. Limbo is more fitting.

Unfortunately, I do prefer women.
[ and he dips in just a little bit closer right as he finishes... ] - However, I could be convinced.
[ and then pulls back completely, settling back down in his seat. ] Perhaps I'm sentimental. I like to get to know the women I'm with before I bed them, after all. You met Sha Hualing.
I don't see why that would be any different, here. Would you prefer me not to treat you with similar courtesy?
[And a chuckle, brushing back some hair casually.]
Not at all, not at all. Courtesy, though...I guess I didn't expect such a powerful man with such a history to take his time on such things. That's rather sweet.
How kind of you to say. [ fufu ] She was one of the first women I married, and is one of my closest commandants even now. A firecracker, to say the least.

[A bow of the head.]
And then I suppose you went to get your revenge? With that sword, yes? We saw it, at the end, after those challenges with the rooms...
no subject
Oh? Did I? I'm not so single minded as to run after a target at full speed.
[ sips ] You met my shizun, then. How lucky for you. And challenges... I suppose that was the Holy Mausoleum.
no subject
[A smile in return.]
I did! And what a man he is. You'll have to introduce me to him, sometime. He's here, isn't he? He left quite an impression.

It is an honor to this humble disciple that I can serve my shizun once more.

Fair enough. [ he takes a sip of his tea, then pauses. ]
Although... you've come to know much about me, and certainly not by choice. I don't see how that's particularly fair.
no subject
[He tilts his head, cupping his cheek with a hand, his expression ever so coy.]
Mmm. You want to get to know me better? My. Such attention would make a man blush.

Mmm. Who said I wasn't a woman?

Not at all, not at all. Courtesy, though...I guess I didn't expect such a powerful man with such a history to take his time on such things. That's rather sweet.

listen the ancient chinese gender binary is ancient i'm so sorry. ]
Apologies. [ that seems. genuine? that's a genuine apology. wow. don't misgender your clowns! ] Like I said, I could be convinced.
[ anyway. ] I've never forced a woman to marry me, or to come into my bed. Rather, once they've come to my bed, marriage comes easily.
[ awful. ] I treat the things that I want with care, no matter what, or who, they are.

Ohh. Goodness. You really are like the grand protagonist of a novel. Its hard not to be charmed.
