[ He eats one of the tomatoes and passes the bag back to swan.

chew chew swallow ]

There. Now we'll both die.

[retellers]

That's not better? That's not better at all?? [ they. they do take the bag back, though ] I know this is supposed to be "I wouldn't poison myself on purpose", but you really have a way to make it sound worse every time.

[suddenlybees]

Haha~ You know what I mean, though, right? So isn't that good enough?

[ better than trying to be like this around Rabbit and Goat; it's tough speaking circles around people who'll take him seriously at face value ]

[retellers]

It is. If you're secretly immune to poison and you poisoned me, though, I'm gonna be sooo mad.

[ they pop a tomato in their mouth despite that, so how serious were they ]

[suddenlybees]

Fair! I'm used to people being mad at me~

[ Never bothered him! But it's a good cherry tomato, juicy and sweet and with that faintly grassy aftertaste that sun ripened garden tomatoes have.

Any potential poisoning won't be immediate anyways. ]

[retellers]

[ Can't believe all my threads have to be retconned when Swan drops dead on monday ]

You sound way too okay about that. You shouldn't want to make people mad. [ a beat as they consider; ] At least not like, all the time.

[suddenlybees]

[ Yeah. ]

Are there times when making people mad is okay? First time I've heard anybody think that!

[retellers]

Well, sometimes people tell you not to do stuff, but you have to, so of course they'll be mad at you when you do it anyway, but they'll get over it!

[ swan. ]

[suddenlybees]

Yeah, yeah, that's how it is! People get mad, but they'll get over it! And if they don't, it's alright too!

[ It's amazing how much you can do when you just don't care about other people's opinions. ]

[retellers]

Ha... Well, um, okay, that might be a bit too much. What if you get your friends stay mad at you forever?

[ swan is so full of hopes and dreams ]

[suddenlybees]

Isn't that okay? You can be mad at somebody and still be friends.

[ Kano has maybe two friends. Either he has the utmost faith in them, or he knows shit about friendship. ]

[retellers]

Of course you can, but you can't be mad at someone forever and still be friends.

[suddenlybees]

[ go to sleep ]

Sure you can. One of my best friends is mad at me all the time, and she's gonna be mad at me forever.

[retellers]

Okay but that's not REAL mad, that's you're being stupid but that's why we're friends mad, right?

[suddenlybees]

[ He sure hopes people aren't insisting to be friends just because he's stupid ]

It's like... breaking bones mad. Real bad.

[retellers]

Okay, if someone wants to break your bones, they're definitely not your friend.

[suddenlybees]

Oh. Well, that rules out all of my friend candidates. Guess I'm back down to zero.

[retellers]

[ there's a kind of. awkward laugh there ]

What-- look, you can't possibly be that terrible that all of your friends want to break your bones!

[suddenlybees]

[ Laughing at Kano's sad state, thanks ): ]

All my friends want to break my bones.

[retellers]

All of them? All the time?

[suddenlybees]

All of them! All the time!

[retellers]

That's awful? [ in a kind of ?? hello??? tone ] If people treat you like that, they're not being very good friends, you know!

[suddenlybees]

Aw, don't say that! They're, like, my two best friends, you know??

[ His only two friends! And if they break his bones sometimes, so be it, he is in no position to be choosy. ]

[retellers]

[ they puff up their cheeks a little. :T!!! ]

Best friends definitely shouldn't go around hurting each other like that. You're supposed to care for each other. Sure you can tease each other sometimes, but breaking bones is... that's messed up!

[suddenlybees]

What's a couple of broken bones between friends? 'sides, I probably, like, deserve it and stuff, so. I get it.

[ It's still worth it. ]
