Yes well someone might want to eat them TOO.

Ugh. Why did the price of cucumbers rise dramatically.

Not mad at you.

Just.

I felt a little cornered.

I… my apologies

AH-

Oh. Hedone.

I did not.

Um.

[GROUCHILY goes to get a little funny gay drink. You can’t get redemption. So you try to exist. But you get relentlessly teased.

STUPID.]

One Iced chai with extra cold FOAM. PLEASE.

UM.HOOGH.

I love het slop.

Our little secrets.

If you so wish.

[His turn to roll his eyes.]

You’ll have to try to think of something in return then.

I will owe you.

For my non-debate class.

🥺

I love rainforest pussy.

I’m not even a philosophy teacher.

Most people do.

[His gaze flickers away.]

There are many types of selfishness.

Sometimes it’s for your own betterment.

[He points to Thancred.]

And sometimes it’s for group of people who did not ask. Making big decisions and their values.

[He points to himself.]

Weak? If you were weak you’d be shying from this conversation.

[He sighs.]

You hero types.

[Azem would love this. Such a display of bravery.]

Being selfish isn’t the end of the world.

Most times.

[he thinks on it.]

Sometimes.

Are you that desperate to be the hero of this world as well?

Your relationships don’t matter that much to you if you run such a risk.

What would the white haired one think? The mother with two? The red headed cat girl?

Then I would ask my counterpoint.

If his presence is more stable here, why would you risk your own sake. Why risk the connections you’ve made here.

You sound almost desperate that you simply /must/ be the one.

Making productivity your whole thing? Sounds very ancient of you, Thancred.-

Stop trying to k*ll yourselves. It’s annoying.

What is with the white haired dilfs. Can you go to therapy.

Self-sacrifice will be your undoing.

Why are you certain it’ll be an urchin?

At this rate that should be experimenting on /me/. I’m supposed to be dead. Long gone.

My aether is also not what it used to be.

Stop offering to be experimented on for one.

Six seveeeeennn

Curious.

You’d best be careful.

Tired of seeing the ‘finally a pretty elezen’ ‘finally an elezen that doesn’t look bad’

They’re all beautiful if you have good tastes

I hear you’ve made yourself quite comfortable.

I don’t think you’d want that.

Why put yourself then through this. What if they teleport you back to your own timeline?

[POKES in the middle of his chest.]

You seem real enough to me.

….

[He mumbles something under his breath.]

Perhaps my passion for preserving got the better of me.

You must think me an old fool.

[He looks at the other with a raised brow.]

Why are you here anyway?

[He offers the most unimpressed stare.]

What do mean what’s in it for you? You get your story known? Is that not enough?

[GULP.]

I. See.
