[unrecked]

Sheesh. I already told everyone: the gun only came out because a weird purple, horned guy tried to tackle me first.

[HE TRULY LOOKS LIKE A PETULANT, SCOLDED TEENAGER.]

[shaft]

Are you discriminating against Molly because he's purple and has horns?

[unrecked]

What? No. He's weird because he was unnaturally delighted with the idea of jumping me, not because he's purple and has horns.

[shaft]

I'm sure you could've wrestled him.

[unrecked]

I could've, but I was too worried about socking someone else who'd probably jump in the way. Also, I probably would've hurt him. Then people would've really hated me.

[shaft]

So you chose the quickest way to settle the situation? I guess it makes sense.

You're pretty kind hearted.

[unrecked]

[His expression falls flat.]

It would have just been easier to shoot him is all.

[shaft]

[ He closes his eyes. ]

So kind. What a peaceful conversation.

[unrecked]

[It's what Claude gets for trying to perceive.]

You started this conversation.

[shaft]

It has been relatively peaceful. We didn't even raise our voices.

[unrecked]

[Peers flatly across to him.]

The bar is in the ground here.

[shaft]

That doesn't mean it has no significance...

[ trails off in a mumble ]

I feel like a father trying to convince his son their family isn't actually that dysfunctional.

[unrecked]

Wow, feels exactly like I'm back home. I can almost taste the assurance of the lack of dysfunction.

[shaft]

Stop. [ vaguely pained ] I don't want to be caught on record saying anything about what is or isn't dysfunctional.

[unrecked]

No, no, go on. Go ahead. I want to hear what you think is dysfunctional, von Riegan. Wow me.

[He is listening.]

[shaft]

[ flicks him ]

[unrecked]

[Scrunchies his face and sort of swats at the hand.]

What? I was serious.

[shaft]

[ he didn't get beat up... ]

I'm surprised you're not tired of my voice.

[unrecked]

[go to bed]

I am, but it beats hearing Lup nag me to hell and back.

[shaft]

[ you go to bed?

hehe, he grins. ]

She cares about you. Sometimes friends can be a bit of a nag.

[unrecked]

[no]

What? She doesn't even know me, how can she care? You speaking from personal experience?

[OH SHIT IT'S LIKE 1 AM HELLO]

[shaft]

[ OH SHIT ok yea goes to bed ig ]

You've never met someone with a bleeding heart?

[unrecked]

[goodbye forever]

Unfortunately. This isn't exactly the place to be having a bleeding heart.

[shaft]

[ he's feeling a little restless, so he's going to grab a training bow and quiver to practice ]

Maybe, but I actually envy it a little. [ thoughtful ] You're worried?

[unrecked]

[What the hell are you so antsy about, Claude.]

I'm not going to bite. [Jason isn't too bad of a read on people, but that's only because he's a Bat.] Worried about what? Bleeding hearts?
