Styx's Original Client.

 Roundabout: Christ Styx, we’re gonna be runnin’ late after last night’s tangent.

Styx: I’m allowed to enjoy myself, part of our contract.

Roundabout: Yes? Have some standards about it, getting kissy with the inn staff is a bad omen.

Styx: Couldn’t be helped, I see someone giving looks and I have to wonder…

Styx: Didn’t go very far regardless.

Roundabout: Thank god, seemed like the clingy type. Know we can’t afford to stick around anywhere too long right now.

Styx: God’s orders, I understand.

Roundabout: Orders are an understatement, she’ll have my head on a pike if we blunder this.

Styx: You’re her favorite, she’d do no such thing.

Roundabout: She wouldn’t be happy regardless. Neither would I for that matter…

Styx: We weren’t going to get any work done last evening anyway, don’t see the deal.

Roundabout: He’s a decent man Styx, you don’t want to be breaking hearts left and right.

Styx: I can’t help it if I’m a tad flirtatious, I see a pretty face and I’m helpless.

Roundabout: You didn’t flirt with me. You calling me fuck ugly?

Styx: I certainly did and I never implied so.

Roundabout: Calling me a curiosity for 30 minutes doesn’t count.

Styx: I have my methods.

Roundabout: And you have better options than emotionally destroying strangers. Your taste is fine but… be thinking in long term.

Styx: Mm.. I do find myself growing genuinely attached to that other demon…

Roundabout: I’ve noticed. He’s been giving me eyes quite a bit…

Styx: You should talk to him, think you’d both get along.


Roundabout: I’m a professional, I rather not mess with co-workers…

Roundabout: He does seem nice however…

Styx: He’s wonderful..

Roundabout:... you haven’t told him your deal though, have you?

Roundabout: Seems dishonest.

Styx: I don’t want to out us so-

Roundabout: Mm..

Styx: Think he always had a crush on you though… admittedly he suspects something is off.

Roundabout: No shit, he knew me before you were in the picture. Probably thinks I’m living a double life.

Styx: You’re certainly keeping secrets.

Roundabout: Aye…

Styx: Even from your own god.

Roundabout: It’s for their benefit, I can’t keep up with the workload on my own..

Styx: And I can’t exist in this world without a host.

Roundabout: Best keep me safe then.

Styx: I do what I can.

Styx: My dear client.

Roundabout: Dear? Maybe. Certainly your best.

Styx: And my only.

Roundabout: Easy win for me then.

Styx: Mm..

Roundabout: You ready to get going?

Styx: I’d like to say my own goodbyes to him.

Roundabout: Styx…

Styx: It’s only appropriate. 5 minutes?

Roundabout: Be kind about it.

Styx: I promise.
