[ you're not the boss of her ]

The glitching. Watching a plate fuzz out of existence as I eat off of it is all of the worst parts of being on drugs, and literally none of the fun.

[ huff. ] I'm trying to go easy on sharing things this week. So.

[retellers]

I noticed. [ is that his version of thanks? he crouches and then finally sits down next to her ] It's been calmer. Least on my side of things. [ it really is just his way of saying thanks, wow ]

[evocationary]

[ she leans a bit to nudge his shoulder with hers. ]

Good. I'm glad. [ sincerely! she keeps looking at the flowers. ] I'm trying to look out for you, too.

[retellers]

[ horribly, he lets her. ] And you're not gonna listen if I tell you not to, are you?

[evocationary]

Nope. I have a chronic not-listening problem. You're stuck with me.

[retellers]

I'd be stuck with you anyway. Been cursed with you on my team.

[evocationary]

[ she makes a face at him, but also pulls her sleeves down to cover her hands. ]

What a nightmare! [ sniff. ] You could've had both of us on your team.

[retellers]

How many times have I said I didn't pick?

[evocationary]

I know you didn't! I'm telling you the RNG gods could've been much, much meaner to you and put both of us on your team!

[retellers]

I don't know. You'd both whine about it a lot less, and there's not that much difference already.

[evocationary]

Are you telling me you'd prefer both of us on your team? [ no ]

[retellers]

I'd prefer having neither of you.

[evocationary]

[ my angsty threads like whiplash ]

Liar. You wouldn't put up with me this long if you didn't like me a little bit.

[retellers]

[ you're welcome. wolf just looks at her with a raised eyebrow and a light smirk ] Maybe it's in my rules to endure the most annoying team member the most.

[evocationary]

[ she laughs. ]

It's in my secret rulebook that you aren't allowed to see that I have to be the most annoying team member, so we both win!

[retellers]

If that's what winning feels like, I'd rather be losing.

[evocationary]

[ she just blows a raspberry at him ]

Does that ever get tiring?

[retellers]

[ he tilts his head to look at her ] What?

[evocationary]

Deflecting.

[retellers]

[ frowns ] ... I'm not. [ ... was this not banter... his awkward is palpable over thinking he misread it now ]

[evocationary]

[ ksdlkfjskd CLOUD

she giggles ]

It's just funny because - never mind. God, you and Taako. [ sniff. ] Don't overthink. I'm teasing you.

[retellers]

... You're exhausting. [ he does the whole 2006 cool guy pose by bringing a leg up, putting an arm around his knee and stretching out the other one ] I don't have anything in common with him.

[evocationary]

You don't have a lot, no. But.

You do both have prickly exteriors and are totally soft on the inside. And it's really easy for me to pick on both of you.

[retellers]

[ wolf does like hogs......motorcycles are also hogs. ] Soft? [ how? dare you? ]

[evocationary]

Yes, soft. Did I stutter?
