I'm not weak, you know. I can take care of myself. This... This is just a minor setback. So.

Don't think I'm some chick who needs saving all the time.

[potentialman]

I'm not.

[ Not least because if word of it ever got to Nobara or Maki they would kick his ass across the pavement. ]

I'm just saying it's not an imposition.

[opheliac]

As long as we have an understanding that I'm not a kid...

[potentialman]

I'm pretty sure just about everyone here is older than me.

[ ...wait. ]

Except Noah. He's complicated.

[opheliac]

Lemme guess: Noah is a furball with a big head who's five hundred years old?

[potentialman]

N....o?

He just looks like an adult even though he's like nine.

[opheliac]

A kid who's an immortal?

[potentialman]

Kind of the opposite. Shorter lifespan, but they don't do the whole...aging thing, the way humans do.

[opheliac]

Soooo he's dying?

[potentialman]

Or will be. I'm not clear on exactly how it...works.

[ Gradual? Suddenly dropping dead? It's not the kind of question he really wanted to ask. ]

[opheliac]

Huh. Can't tell if I should feel sorry for him or he's just one lucky son of a bitch.

[potentialman]

You'd call that lucky?

[ Not actually accusatory on his part, though. Just curious. ]

[opheliac]

Well, do you wanna keep living in this dump of horrors?

[potentialman]

Not really.

[opheliac]

There! You see? And what's a ticket out of here???

[potentialman]

...yeah, that's fair.

[opheliac]

I knew you'd get it, Biscuit.

[potentialman]

...



Biscuit?

[opheliac]

What? I'm hungry. And somebody is taking their precious little time in fetching me soup.

[potentialman]

Yeah, yeah. You're as demanding as Kugisaki.

[ What is it with every girl who enters his life walking all over him?

(Maybe he should stop letting them, that's what.) ]

[opheliac]

Kuki sounds like a swell chick, but she's not making this go any faster.

[potentialman]

I'm almost done here. Then it's about a...ten minute walk back, I'd say? Assuming nothing gets too feisty on the way.

[opheliac]

You got meat? It's good for distractions.

[potentialman]

No. But I can manage.

wrapped so we have room to tackle TDM peeps???

[opheliac]

All right. I'll see ya soon.
