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 ]

[sancrimony]

[ dry, ]

But I suppose I'm still not there, yet.

[stakesthesame]

[ give her a second this really fucking hurts, so in between laughs here's hisses and "ow-- ow," but she manages to calm down enough after a moment ]

This is a good first step for big boy words-ing, I guess. Good job?

[sancrimony]

If you could please forget that this happened, I'd appreciate it.

[ . . . ]

Anubis-san can heal you, if you'd like him to. He'd never do anything to hurt anyone.

[stakesthesame]

Absolutely not, I remember everything forever. And nah. Really don't want you guys scarring me up.

[ a pause ]

What were you looking for, anyway? When you used your powers. You didn't open me up, so.

[sancrimony]

I've healed you before . . .

[ with a pause ]

Hmm. I suppose saying that it's a secret is a bit detrimental to this whole exercise.

[stakesthesame]

You were lookin' for that huge slice in my side from the fight with Sanguine, right?

[sancrimony]

Mm, that as well, yes.

[stakesthesame]

... you've only healed me the once, I'm pretty sure.

[sancrimony]

Ah.

Wait.

Ah, no.

[ . . . ]

I was looking for every major scar that you still had.

[stakesthesame]

Oh.

Well... haven't had many fatal ones. 'Cept that. The others aren't worth paying off.

[sancrimony]

Mm, that's good.

I was looking just to see. It was a test, I suppose you could say, and you passed it.
