I suppose I can find it in me to forgive you for it. Maybe.

[never explain this to him he'll be mad about it.]

Would it make that much of a difference if you couldn't?

To you? Probably not. Not appreciably, anyway, I doubt you'd care whether I did or not.

[lack of filter means a little more straightforwardness, evidently.]

Oh, of course not, I meant to you. I'm curious just how unforgivable I'd have to be for you to stop associating with me. As much as you complain, you're actually pretty lenient.

You haven't actually done anything to me save for needling me constantly. You're frustrating sometimes, yes, but for the most part I just like to argue, you're not bad company at all when you're not trying to annoy me.

[luckily the drink's effects keep him from going Why Am I Saying This. for now.]

Can't say where exactly the line is but it'd be somewhere between 'just being obnoxious' and 'killing someone I like'. I'm sure you'd cross it before getting that far.

[ "i just like to argue", huh? that's definitely going to get thrown back in his face someday. ]

I see! Someone you don't like is fair game though, are they?

I'm still not going to be pleased about it, but consider me disappointed but not surprised in that situation.

[like. he's not going to be shocked if local demon incapable of feeling love stabs a person.]

Ouch.

What? It's not like I'm saying you'd do it indiscriminately or anything. Doubt you would unless you had an actual reason for it, and besides, the same goes for more than just you.

[there are Multiple people here mentally filed under 'unsurprised if they stabbed a person'.]

...after the last couple of weeks, it seems like it might be possible for any of us, anyway.

It does, yes. So I suppose maybe none of us would really be that surprising!

I'm curious who else would have been on your "unsurprising" list, though.

Hm...

Lee, Ryo, Scaramouche, and Childe for absolute least surprising, probably.

Yeah, that's a pretty good list.

What about yours, then?

Ryo and Childe for certain. [ so, a nod of agreement on those. ] I feel like if Scaramouche has managed to go this long without killing Akira, he might be in the clear, barring those mysterious outside influences.

He might be. Honestly, I think he's not that much of a problem. It's more that he seems like if anything happened, he'd definitely kill someone over being the one killed.

[tiny angry lad.]

I don't mind talking to any of them, Childe's been good company in particular, but they're all still up there on the list.

I rather enjoy all of them, to be honest.

[ PROBABLY NOT MUTUAL, BUT ]

Do they enjoy you?

[same thought.]

Probably not!

[laughing a little at that, with a shake of his head.]

All right- who here does, then?

Hm~!

[ considers. ]

Date and you, sometimes. Miss Song and I appreciate cartoon rabbits together, and Filbo seems to think rather highly of my puns.

And I think Kuranosuke has a pretty good time with almost everyone.

I think he does, yes.

[but, hmm. he didn't know exactly who bc becks didn't mention marks when i was helping with strip check so-]

If you're putting Date and myself in the same category, I'm guessing that's where your other marks came from?

That was really just because I spend the most time around the two of you, but yes! Also correct.

[contemplating...]

Hmm. He's been decent company. Good-looking. I'll consider it good taste.

Your approval is very important to me, thank you.

It'd reflect badly on me if you had bad taste in your other partners.

[his image. his pride.]
