Niles is bonded with Azura, and is Deeply in dokis with her

but is going to by the end of the month suggest that they break their bond because

he is also planning to kidnap and maim a council member soon so like, he wants to protect her from the blowback

he has been sleeping with Connor, and is expecting that to come to an abrupt end when he kidnaps and de-fingers L, and is grumpy about it

connor like

Look, he's not even in it for Revenge anymore, L is good enough at making himself suffer, but he KNOWS THINGS and has demonstrated the willingness and ability to use those things as penalties for having the wrong attitude.

so, gotta prevent him from being able to.

No illusion magic with no fingers.

the planned eventual like CONCLUSION of this to stop further escalation is L and Niles both get parts of their memories erased

but niles might try to fake his own death first so that's also a possibility im kicking around

ANYWAY the date of finger heist is the first full moon in may, and after that I'm going to be a lot more able to focus on new cr, both me oocly after wrapping up a plot arc and icly NILES will be looking to make new non...scorched....bridges with people

Niles... please...

please....bring henry a bag of fingers as a gift? you got it.

thank you.

glad we got that sorted

he'll be tickled

hopefully not with said fingers.

o-oh, my... ? ? ?

i do hope connor and niles make up bc connor likes niles like the fool he is

niles will simultaneously want to reconcile with connor and also deeply hate the idea because he knows he can and most likely will? just hurt connor again? like. he's Not a good dude, and connor is too easy to manipulate

anyway im VERY looking forward to 'goodbye kiss under moonlight' scene

yeah like connor is very forgiving.... so i reckon he'd want to see niles again afterwards

but me too C:

is Niles being dramatic

niles being PRAGMATIC

and yeah definitely dramatic too but

im thinking on it and he's definitely going to use the Kiss as an incentive to get Connor out of the pool and see how well he can ambulate on land.

Not Very

great.

smooch n then Vaults over the fence to go torture a guy
