[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.

[retellers]

[ they were mostly joking about constantly answering about this game driving them to drink. but they shake their head ]

Not a big gun guy. If there's any hidden around here, I haven't looked hard enough.

[lionson]

[Look, that's legit tho. This game would make anyone drink.]

What about medicine-making? I did have to make some for someone, if you want to help me with that.

[retellers]

[ it's too bad we've only just now given you alcohol, like monsters. Wolf pauses and looks a little unsure ]

I've never... done that. I don't think.

[lionson]

[And you gave it to us on the week when nobody can touch each other too. How cruel.]

Well, you might be happy to know that you're in the presence of someone who normally teaches others how to make those medicines. Learning how to make painkillers and antiseptics would be pretty useful to know too, yeah?

[retellers]

... I guess...

[ they still look unsure but that is now the mark of them being out of their element. they're not saying no, though ]

You even have what you need to make those?

[lionson]

...

[...]

Er...is there a garden or anything around here that I can get stuff from?

[retellers]

There was last week.

[ they just. sound so amused. ]

You might have some luck in the swamp.
