[manufactured]

...I see.

[There are things that could be said here for the fact that Jaeger seems easy to exploit, once he's interested enough in someone - after all, he's strangely dedicated to Wesker's well-being, and they've really only started becoming close over the last few months. But that's not something that's socially acceptable to say, and so he doesn't, though he does have to deliberate it for a moment.]

I assume this has to do with the incident that happened a few years ago?

[scythegun]

That's correct, ja. I ended up coming here afterwards because I have a cousin in the area. It's nice and I'm glad I'm here, but I haven't quite gotten over what happened!

[As evidenced but just how hard he's doing the fake-smiling thing, apparently.]

[manufactured]

...I understand.

[From the sound of it, he doesn't, not really, but he's...trying.]

A lack of attachment does sound like it would be for the best after something like that, whether you're "over it" or not. I don't know if I could personally find something like that forgivable.

[scythegun]

It's not forgivable. Betraying someone's trust like that never is.

[He's adamant about that even though he's still smiling.]

But that's all in the past and I'm not here to dwell on it! After all, I've had the pleasure of meeting you, ja? It certainly isn't all bad!

[manufactured]

[Judging from the sudden silence at that, he isn't altogether sure what to do with any of that last part; hold on, it'll take him a second.]

I... Right, of course.

[...a w k w a r d.]

[scythegun]

Oh come now, I'm giving you a free compliment and that's the best you can come up with?

[He clicks his tongue against his teeth in mock disappointment.]

[manufactured]

Usually your "free compliments" are a little less...that.

[the fuck does he do with you.]

[scythegun]

[you befriended him, you're stuck with him now!!! no refunds!!!]

Maybe I figured I'd change it up a bit, see how you'd react!

[manufactured]

Well, now you know.

[...Strangely, apparently.]

[scythegun]

[Yep. Definitely worth it.]

Now I do! Maybe I'll do it again someday, just see if you'll get any better at reacting to it!

[manufactured]

[......]

...If you insist.

[He's not even going to argue it, honestly; you'll likely just be more of a pain about it if he does.]

[scythegun]

[you're no fun!!]

Of course I do! I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it, after all~

[manufactured]

...I'm fairly sure that is a blatant lie, actually.

[JAEGER...]

[scythegun]

[Well, it gets him to laugh anyway.]

Oh come now, you won't even let me pretend I'm honest sometimes?

[manufactured]

Seeing as you're insisting on serving as my fear response, I imagine it's only fair that I keep you honest.

[scythegun]

I suppose you do have a point there!

[manufactured]

I still maintain that you don't have to do that in the first place, but if you're going to insist I suppose the least I can do is make your life slightly more difficult for it.

[scythegun]

Well of course, you might as well! Who knows, maybe you'll get lucky and I'll rethink this plan!

[...but probably not given how annoying he's being.]

[manufactured]

Oh, don't get my hopes up.

[scythegun]

Isn't this the part where you tell me not to lie?

[manufactured]

Oh, I don't know. With that statement, you seem to be policing yourself well enough.

[scythegun]

Only for you, Albert! You're very lucky I think so highly of you~!

[manufactured]

...Likewise, given that you're one of the only people that gets away with calling me that.

[scythegun]

I'll consider myself very lucky, then! It does have such a nice ring to it!

[manufactured]

...If you say so.

[no seriously he just didn't complain about it when it was assigned to him because he literally didn't care

it's not really something he thinks about]
