I am not sure how that's my fault.

[axilium]

If it's a pattern, it's usually the fault of the person at the center of the pattern.

[vigilantics]

No, I just think I have an attractive personality so people want to be my friend.

[axilium]

It can be both.

[vigilantics]

[ she pretends to think about it ]

No.

[axilium]

No?

[vigilantics]

[ nods ]

No.

[axilium]

I don't know how to feel about being denied so firmly.

[vigilantics]

You can accept it anyway?

[axilium]

You're lucky I'm adaptable.

[vigilantics]

A man of many skills.

[ she squints at the drink ]

Are you drunk yet?

[axilium]

Steph, why do you always want to get me drunk so badly?

[vigilantics]

I do not.

I just want to win.

[axilium]

[he sips at his drink.]

Then I wish you luck.

[vigilantics]

[ she sticks her tongue out ]

Just make lots of friends and make sure they become Hikage's friends too.

[axilium]

Easier said than done.

[vigilantics]

I'll help.

... we'd need allies if things go poorly, anyway.

[axilium]

Isn't that where you come in?

[vigilantics]

[ it looks like she wants to say something, but she pauses and changes course to something else ]

What am I, your mom?

[axilium]

No, you're someone with a winning personality who can make allies. Just tell 'em not to kill me or Hikage?

[vigilantics]

[ she snorts ]

Ha ha.

[axilium]

All right, what are you thinking?

[vigilantics]

If things do go poorly... and stuff happens... let me know?

[ how to phrase 'if you are forced to murder tell me' without actually saying that out loud. ]

[axilium]

Well, this sure got serious.

[vigilantics]

Shut up. I'm always serious.

[ no ]

Yes nod or shake your head and we can go back to our regularly scheduled jokes.
