[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]

[scythegun]

Of course I do! It's not quite as nice as my own name of course, but not much really can compare!
