For me to grovel before you… there is no reason for me to do so, Caster. Though I respect the very nature of your existence, you possess nothing I desire with such passion.
[ His messages come in slowly, only because Ozymandias is an abysmal typer of many words and an avid proofreader to boot. ]
I merely have a proposal for you, one that will potentially benefit us both. Before I elaborate on this idea, what city have you chosen for your home?
[ Well, it's ok because Caster is the exact opposite. And they say opposites attract. ;) ;) ;) ]
?! You must have poor vision because any spirit would be lucky to have me as an ally rather than rival! Every ounce of my form is full of passion and love, is it so wrong to want the same from those I don't intend to kill?
Anyways...... the point is — you shouldn't take my words so seriously. Lighten up!
[ Caster's an idiot, pass it on.
But, she reads his message with a quirked brow, a bit of confusion on the details of a proposal. ]
It seems like Olympia is the one with the least amount of savagery. There's more opportunities here and a court in which I can lend my cunning and beauty.
What? Your words were in jest? I was under the sincere belief that your lovers regularly fell on their knees before you. After all, you are beautiful. I would not want you to confuse me with any of those meek and weak-willed men that care to speak with you.
[ Smooth. ]
Then, my plan to make you my ally has not fallen to pieces. I, too, have chosen the least barbaric of these two cities. The lesser of two evils, Olympia.
Don't Don't fill me with flattery then take it away.

[ Okay, she's at a loss for words, she doesn't know what he intends with such conversation. She has to fight off blush for a moment as her texts send without completion. ]
Your plan... I'm not fond of plans unless I am on equal footing. Mutually beneficial and able to trust. With no war, I suppose it isn't unfathomable to consider us viable for an allegiance...
I do not flatter. Out of all the people I have met so far in this world, you are the one that has interested me the most. Nobody can take that away from you.
[ He’s beginning to get to the point. It isn’t as though he has some grand master plan, anyway. ]
We are similar to each other, in ways that are rare to find on El Nysa. Our goal for now is to do more than simply survive. I suggest that we work together to further our ambitions. Are you interested?
Caster isn't use to such praise. Well, even through text, it makes her heart flutter and confliction fills her. How can she handle being praised by someone "presumably" an equal, a servant in a War when the only person who gave her such treatment was her Master?
It's strange and confusing, but, she will gather herself in a few minutes to reply. ]
Well.
Then. Then I shall carry that crown to continue wear with pride.
....If you offer me companionship and shelter, I will accept. A woman must have a humble home in which to maintain her mind — a home filled with similar goals and drive! We very much align there.
Hoh? The lack of company is daunting, but I shall try my best. Call me if you require further aid.
[ Until then, Ozymandias can be found hanging out at exactly the spot he said he would be at, reclining against a brick wall right next to the entryway that leads to the housing district. This time, he's in the garb suitable for an Olympian. ]

Ahhh? You so devotedly want to see my attention? ♥
With the world on fire, it would be a near injustice to deny you a meeting. I hope all is well and you're not crawling to me for assistance.

Do you know the way to the housing district? We can meet in front of the main gates.

I know of them — the homes were taken before I found one suitable. I've take refugee in an Inn, but....
I can ask for directions. After all, who could deny such a cute lost creature? I'll find my way to you, don't get lonely waiting, Rider! ♥
