[ What else would he prepare for?? Nier takes the water and sits up straight to drink it. Thank you, thank you. ]

... So prevent your enemy from approaching you because they'd be holding onto their bowels.

[shaft]

It's a tactic that's served me in the past. [ hehe ] Though if I could devise something that takes effect upon contact with the skin...

[ hm ]

[amain]

[ i... ]

So something like a rash?

[shaft]

That's a good idea! If there's some ivy around here, I could concoct something like that.

[ thanks nier! ]

[amain]

[ no......... what has he done... he thought it would deter claude cause it sounds stupid ]

I'm not going to help you test that.

[shaft]

Once was enough for you, huh?

[ nier you fool... you underestimated claude's idiocy ]

[amain]

[ sir you are an adult ]

Yeah, discount is over. Your stranger's kindness limit is up.

[shaft]

Does that mean we're no longer strangers?

[amain]

If it doesn't, what would that make us?

[shaft]

[ . . . ]

Schoolmates?

[amain]

[ Snorts. He was thinking acquaintances, but... ]

We can be friends if you want.

[shaft]

You often make friends with people who poison you?

[amain]

One of my best friends tried to kill me when we first met, so... At least you don't have the murderous intent?

[ Yeah. ]

[shaft]

[ hm ]

Well, I can safely say I wasn't trying to kill you. In fact, I hope you manage to recover soon.

[amain]

[ hm. sips his water. ]

... You're kind of weird and suspicious, but you're actually a nice guy. [ He places the empty cup on a surface. ] I'm feeling a little better, so I think I should be walk on my own in a bit.

[shaft]

That's a generous deduction.

You're free to get going if you're feeling all right. And thanks for your help, I'll check in later to make sure nothing went wrong.

[amain]

[ A nod. When he's feeling more himself, he stands up and stretches. ]

You don't need to do that. I'm not that fragile.
