AUDIENCE: SHIRO

[retellers]

Comments

[lionson]

For some of the leaders? As in, more than one might be telling their people to kill?

[retellers]

For some of the deaths. [ they put a hand to their forehead ] Sorry.

[ they don't mean to aggravate your conspiracies shiro ]

[lionson]

...

Why? Why are any of you telling us to kill? Is it- is it part of this nova-gathering or something? Because there's gotta be a reason for it, yeah?

[PLEASE. HELP HIM UNDERSTAND.]

[retellers]

I don't know, but it's what the kid implied that first week. Someone asked him to kill. If it's true for the other deaths last week, I don't know any more than you do. Don't even know if it really was his Leader, but it's what makes the most sense.

[lionson]

But it wasn't you for sure, yeah? You didn't ask anyone to kill?

[retellers]

I can't confirm whether Virid was on our team or not, but I haven't asked anyone to kill. [ they seem to think about it ] Didn't mean to confuse you there.

[lionson]

[He just. lets out a HUGE SIGH. Mostly because he was asking about the latter, and hearing that Wolf's not doing that is a relief.]

Yeah, it's fine, don't confirm nobody's team. As long as you're not the Murder Leader, I think I can deal with all of this.

[retellers]

It's fine if it's another one?

[lionson]

It's not fine, no. But you're my friend, and I'd be really upset if you had been manipulating me all along.

[retellers]

[ uh ]

I am?

[lionson]

Sure. I'd say we get along pretty well, even if you're still pretty firm on the 'tsun' part of 'tsundere'.

[He's fluent in tsun, it's okay.]

[retellers]

Quit calling me that.

[ >:| ]

[lionson]

Sorry, no can do. We're friends now, so I'm gonna call you my friend.

[He will stop calling Wolf a tsundere though. For today.]

[retellers]

Feels like that something that should be a mutual thing.

[ so dry ]

[lionson]

Whaaat? Are you saying you don't like our little chats?

[retellers]

I never like chats.

[lionson]

Yeah? What do you like instead?

[retellers]

If I say nothing, do I get out of the friend thing?

[lionson]

Not really, no. You can either pick what we do to build our friendship, or I'll just talk to you. I'm old, I've got plenty of stories to tell.

[retellers]

Show off much? We both know I don't have any.

[ it's a joke. probably. ]

[lionson]

[It;s a good joke! It gets Shiro to smile.]

So what if you don't remember your past, huh? What you say and do now, in the present, that's what makes you who you are.

But that also means we get to make new memories for you, today and every day going forward. And I'd like for those memories to be good ones for you.

[retellers]

With this mess? You've got your work cut out for you.

[lionson]

Maybe! But perseverance is key, yeah?

So! What's something you want to do? Because otherwise I'm picking something I like to do.

[retellers]

I've said drinking enough everyone's convinced that's my entire personality, so I'll let you pick.

[lionson]

I'm not opposed to drinking if it's what you want to do.

[But Wolf just said he didn't want to be known just for that, so.]

You got any guns we can use? We could do some target practice.
