"Replying to emails, mostly to those who were wondering what happened to me and why we departed as early as we did. I told them that we had a small emergency to deal with, with one of my families proxies in the area." I said simply, typing away at my keyboard while looking over to her

"You left without telling anyone?" I asked, surprised.

!Fox! Mon Jul 03, 2017 2:30 am

"There were some late attendee's. I left, telling those who were there what had happened, but those who were late were curious as to why i wasn't there." I said simply, yawning a bit as i did so

"And they couldn't ask eachother r for that information? I thought they like to gossip..."

!Fox! Mon Jul 03, 2017 3:22 am

"We are a secretive bunch... Not everyone is as forthcoming with information as I am with you." I said with a sly grin. "They withhold anything and everything, to use it to their advantage."

Blip Mon Jul 03, 2017 4:27 am

"Well that must make for tense meetings, how would they not notice that certain details are being withheld... I mean... people... emote with faces, empaths aren't the only ones that can pick up on hidden information."

!Fox! Mon Jul 03, 2017 4:36 am

"Yea, we know, but we dont know WHAT is being withheld, who it's being held from, and why. Its just a big game of chess if you think about it" I said with a chuckle, having read something that amused me enough before responding to it as well

"Im amazed they don't become hyper paranoid if that's the case," I said, tilting my head at his reaction. "What caught your attention there?"

!Fox! Mon Jul 03, 2017 3:02 pm

"We are hyper paranoid. It's how we survived so long." I responded dryly. "Oh, nothing, just that crazy woman who my father keeps trying to pair me with is very irritable that im not there"

Blip Mon Jul 03, 2017 3:39 pm

"...you know, the paranoia helps explain the crazy..."

!Fox! Mon Jul 03, 2017 4:10 pm

"You say that, but this woman is on another level. We are talking, she wants to know where I am at all times. We are talking she tried to have my phone bugged with a GPS tracker." I said dryly, not looking up from the screen for a moment, before clicking once, and closing the screen again.

"...Can't you just pay for a restraining order, because that is kinda creepy. Like I'm amazed she doesn't stalk you everywhere."

!Fox! Mon Jul 03, 2017 6:40 pm

"I cant, she has to have done something to warrant the restraining order..." I responded, sighing

Blip Mon Jul 03, 2017 7:16 pm

I frowned. "So I guess she isn't dumb enough to earn a restraining order."

!Fox! Mon Jul 03, 2017 7:41 pm

"No, but she is just coasting under the radar with how annoying she is." I sighed, shaking my head. "My family and hers keep trying to set up dates for us to meet, but i have no interest in them. My father has threatened to attempt to force me into it, but he has no ground to stand on anymore. Not after that stunt he tried with you."

Blip Mon Jul 03, 2017 10:14 pm

"Oh yeah, that was weird. I almost forgot about that. That's a sueable thing, but I'm pretty sure his money overrides legal action, huh? Then again, that's a mean thing to do..."

!Fox! Tue Jul 04, 2017 1:12 am

"Oh, I have enough dirt on that man to bury him alive in evidence of wrongdoings, as i do everyone. That's why they dont do anything stupid. They know I wont hesitate to use it."

Blip Tue Jul 04, 2017 1:43 am

"That's a scary thing to know," I said, hunching over meekly.

!Fox! Tue Jul 04, 2017 2:14 am

"I prefer not to use force, intimidation, or blackmail to get what i need or want. I rather negotiate." I responded simply, sighing. "Its part of the business, and just how my life is going to be unfortunately"

Blip Tue Jul 04, 2017 3:40 am

"That's a lot of pressure to put on people."

!Fox! Tue Jul 04, 2017 4:12 am

"It's all apart of the game. Except for you. You make things fun and interesting for me again..." I responded with a small chuckle

Blip Tue Jul 04, 2017 4:17 am

I smiled, but it faded as soon as something came to mind"...Say... if we had never become friends, would I also be a target for blackmail?"

!Fox! Tue Jul 04, 2017 1:30 pm

"No. I would have no point to do so. Besides... I had feelings for you even back then. I could have brought myself too even if I wanted to. I was taught better than that." I said, slightly embarrassed.

Blip Tue Jul 04, 2017 3:02 pm

"Oh," I laughed sheepishly. "I guess that's a good thing, in a way."

!Fox! Tue Jul 04, 2017 5:09 pm

"It's the same process as going to court. Make sure you have evidence about everything, in order to win." I said simply, looking at the ceiling
