I actually am entirely disinterested in getting myself killed.

[That. That may have been slightly petulant, despite himself. Why are you being like this.]

[scythegun]

Ja, of course you are! But sometimes you need a little reminder to keep you safe!

[Because he's your friend, asshole. And friends look out for each other!!]

[manufactured]

There's really no dissuading you from this, is there.

[scythegun]

None at all! You're welcome to keep trying but it simply won't work!

[manufactured]

...We'll see, then. If something arises again.

[scythegun]

I really hope it doesn't, but with my luck it probably will. I'll be there for you, though! You can count on that!

[manufactured]

[......]

I do appreciate that you discussed all of this with me on such short notice, by the way.

[scythegun]

Ja, don't mention it. It's not as though I'm usually doing much in the evenings anyway!

[manufactured]

Yes, I've noticed.

[...Wesker, don't be an asshole.]

[scythegun]

You didn't have to say it!

[oh my god you asshole]

[manufactured]

...Given the amount of time I've been spending with you over the past week, I can't say that I'm doing any better.

[don't be an asshole oh my god]

[scythegun]

No, you really aren't! I'm pleased I can take up some of your time, though!

[you're stuck with him now]

[manufactured]

...Well, you've been kind to me.

It's appreciated. I suppose.

[...yes, yes, he knows.]

[scythegun]

You "suppose"? Come now, I've gone out of my way to be nice to you! I'm ruining my reputation just for you! And all I get is "I suppose"?

[He's obviously teasing though, if that annoying grin is anything to judge by. He's glad to hear it, alright.]

[manufactured]

...It's hardly ruining your reputation, given that it's all behind closed doors. I'd say that perhaps you're altering my dogs' opinions at best, but they still don't seem to like you much.

[jesus, you're a pain.]

[scythegun]

I suppose that's understandable, since I don't really like dogs either!

[Thanks, Repede...???

Anyway, he'll settle after a moment and absently pick at his gloves for a bit.]

...I remembered something too, though it didn't explain much.

[manufactured]

Did you...?

[That's...interesting, from the sound of it. Hopefully nothing that involved the man dying again or something.]

Do go on, then.

[scythegun]

I was talking with the most flamboyant man I've ever seen. [Considering that this is coming from Jaeger, that's saying something.] We seemed pretty keen on starting a war and I believe I was there to sell him weapons. Despite what I was saying and agreeing with, I don't think I liked him very much.

...Unfortunately, there wasn't much to tell me who he was or why I was doing any of that.

[The words are careful, like he's still trying to make sense of it.]

[manufactured]

Starting a war, of all things...

[What the actual fuck, Jaeger.]

What a frustrating thing to have no context for. Let me know if you receive any...?

[scythegun]

Ja, it really would have been nice to know anything else about the Union and the Empire but as it stands right now, I know nothing about why I'd want to start a war in the first place.

[He shrugs after that's out there. He's sort of frustrated with it, but it's not worth getting bent out of shape over. Not yet, anyway. Maybe there's a perfectly reasonable explanation...?]

I will, though. I certainly can't keep all of this in my head without going crazy and the last thing I need is to talk to Elda about this again.

[g o d]

[manufactured]

...It seems like something you would find a bit above your pay grade, to put it gently.

[wesker, no.]

But no, I won't leave you to discuss such things with Elda - I...try to avoid telling her anything about what I've remembered, personally.

[scythegun]

[Starting fights between people is one thing and something he's done a lot of in the past, but a war? Yeah, that's definitely above his pay grade.]

I don't blame you! She gets really into it, especially if it's anything remotely depressing and then suddenly you're weighed down by it too and it's awful. Don't tell her anything if you want to avoid having feelings about it!

[...good advice, jaeger]

[manufactured]

[...We have problems.]

...She also tends to contact me over things like "there's a social function that we're expected to attend this weekend, come with me" or "have you noticed the blueberries have color again."

If anything, I would prefer to not trouble her with it - things are superficial, for the most part, and I like them that way.

[scythegun]

One of these days I want to see you two out on a date. I'm still having a hard time picturing it.

[jaeger don't be an asshole]

But I agree! It's much easier to keep everything superficial, especially with her. I'll have to make sure I don't trim my hedges for a few weeks just so we can go back to something resembling normalcy!

[manufactured]

Oh, come now, you make it sound as though she's terrible.

[He sounds amused, though.]
