Satisfying. It was just way too satisfying.
Desmond had of course readily agreed, looking forward to personally overseeing the success of what, as far as he was concerned, had been all thanks to his own exceptional planning and 'talent for delegation'.
The Grand Dark Rizzard Itvashim, the twin of Itvasme of course had suffered a slight setback at the hands of the person that they believed was Ice Queen Sally (in fact Doris) who had... 'aged' him like a fine wine - but without the fine part.
Yes. In short, he had simply just been aged full stop, from his virile handsome self, to now, currently sporting the somewhat 'quite different demeanor' of being a middle-aged man.
Nevertheless, he wasn't one to cry over spilled 'milk' - especially considering that in this instance, the milk was of course, referring to a different kind of white substance that he (mistakenly) believed had successfully been deposited in the dream destination - namely Sally's womb.
His youth? Pfft. That was just a small price to pay, he believed, for the potential growth spurts that he had made towards Immortality and Success!!!!
Indeed.
After the fateful encounter at the World Ball, Itvashim had been eagerly on the lookout for news of a scandal - perhaps Ice Queen Sally would hastily announce a marriage, to avoid the social stigma of bearing a child out of wedlock?!
He had of course also wanted to schedule a meeting with Sally, to let slip his willingness, his devotion to step in to be her partner - in this scenario, which he had carefully curated and envisaged, Itvashim would position himself as the hero, the responsible Man who would sweep Sally off her feet, even as he tossed her onto the bed, and then, ultimately, aside, once she had fulfilled her biological purpose - namely to give birth to the Future - namely their child and in the process, the genetic ascendance of the Dark Rizzards would be assured!!!
It was admittedly an incredible, albeit despicable plan. Of course a Dark Rizzard would in this event focus on the positives - the incredible, brilliant part - and gloss over the alternate views - it was just the way things worked according to him - don't hate the player, hate the game right! A woman's maternal instincts to protect - once Ice Queen Sally gave birth to their child, then her fate would be inextricably bound to that of the Dark Rizzard Alliance - whether she knew of it, wanted it, or not!!! *Mwahahahakerfkerfhoff* - the Grand Dark Rizzard Itvashim permitted himself a soft chuckle which became a wheeze owing to his advanced age, as he imagined this wonderfully vile out...come.

Strangely however, Itvashim had heard absolutely no news following what he believed was the suc-cessful... c*mpletion of his mission.
Even when he had finally sent out a probing message to Ice Queen Sally regarding their wild night - this had apparently been diverted and ignored, for he had received absolutely no response.
Had they miscalculated?! Was Ice Queen Sally even more ruthless than they thought?!
She really had been chasing after pleasure, or she had taken contraceptive measures?!?!
Something didn't seem right...
Even so, there was no time or place at this point for too much conjecture.
They weren't foolish enough to deposit all their eggs - or in this case, sperm - in one basket.
As a result, Itvashim had swiftly followed up by partnering up with his sister Itvasme in order to move forward with their alternative plans - which so happened to be the Desmond Potté situation.
