It feels kinda condescending honestly! I don't wanna be praised by you like I'm a kid! I'm a thousand years old, come on.

[sancrimony]

Ah! My apologies. But really, I'm not meaning to condescend - if, last night, that person had not gotten involved, I'm certain you would have killed me. When it comes to someone like me, who you hate, isn't that a thing to be praised for?

[stakesthesame]

[ GROANS LOUDLY UGGHHhhhh then wheezes cuz ow, pain, ]

-- grod, shut up. I don't hate you. And if it was... anyone but Amaranth, I woulda killed you anyway.

[sancrimony]

Mm.

. . .

I'm sorry. I spoke poorly of you in anger, because I felt your words were unfair to her. I still think so.

[stakesthesame]

... yeah, well. I thought I could trust her. But clearly I can't.

Don't worry about it. I don't intend to bother her again.

[sancrimony]

[ with a note of frustration ]

With anyone else, she would have surely helped you - she would have surely stood by you. Don't blame her for this.

[stakesthesame]

Yeah, well. This was when I needed her, and she cracked my ribs for it.

[ with her own frustration; ]

It's fine. I totally get it.

[sancrimony]

She wasn't meaning to hurt you.

[stakesthesame]

I don't think she needs you to defend her honor or whatever. She can handle her own problems.

[sancrimony]

[ quiet, then ]

. . .

I don't want to be the reason why you can't be her friend.

[stakesthesame]

[ no response for a long moment

then, ]

Honestly you probably shouldn't be encouraging people to keep making out with your mom, geez. Weirdo.

[sancrimony]

[


faintly, ]

Pardon?

[stakesthesame]

[ i'm BOMBING THIS CONVERSATION THE BEST WAY I KNOW HOW ]

You heard me.

[sancrimony]

Ah - ah -

[ you can HEAR the fluster in his voice with how faintly his words come out, but ]

- then that's all the more reason I - in the first place, Ani-ue is her true son, so really! This should not be something worthy of getting in the way of you two!

[stakesthesame]

[ heheheeheheheheheeheheheheheheehehe ]

Encouraging even more, now...? Geez, that's pretty wild of you. Didn't know you were so freaky, no wonder Dia likes you.

[sancrimony]

[ a tiny, tiny,

tiny,

squeak ]

- it isn't like that! But in the first place, it's wonderful - it's wonderful for Mother to find someone! And you're a wonderful person, so -

So please, somehow, don't let me get in the way of you two - !!

[stakesthesame]

...






[ huffs a weak laugh ]

We're not dating, you dingus.

[sancrimony]

!?

Eh??

[stakesthesame]

I've got my plate full with Nemesis.

This conversation done?

[sancrimony]

[ ????????? ]

Ah -

. . .

Thank you, for speaking with me. I suppose it's done when you decide you're satisfied. . .

[stakesthesame]

Satisfied with what?

... I'm really tired, so honestly, I just want to sleep. We can talk later if you really need to talk about something else.

[sancrimony]

Satisfied with - this - effort to -

[ huff, a little frustrated but he lets it drop ]

I won't speak of anything anywhere things can be recorded.

. . .

Good night. Rest well.

[stakesthesame]

Hold up a sec there buckaroo. With this effort to what?

[sancrimony]

. . .

I'm trying to . . .

What did you say, use my big boy words?

[stakesthesame]

[ WHEEZES LIKE SHE'S DYING ]
