You really care about her.

[dotcom]

Why are you asking me about Grace?

[fluffier]

Wouldja rather talk about Mineo? It's kinda a compliment that ya trust him enough for other people to be safe with 'im.

[ they're FRIENDS ]

[dotcom]

Mineo knows better than to piss me off.

[ even though it did NOTHING and grace was still targeted ]

[fluffier]

Uh huh. You two are definitely an effective pair.

[ well, if Grace had to fight, at least she would've had access to Mineo's gun. ]

[dotcom]

[ grace with a glock.... grock ]

Is there a point to this?

[fluffier]

[ She sighs, giving him a sulky look. ]

I'm just sayin' good job. Thanks for bein' considerate.

[dotcom]

I wasn't going to leave her alone just because I had to do something else.

[fluffier]

... Yeah.

I guess what I'm gettin' at is [ extremely reluctant ] I'm sorry. I was thinkin' that you aren't a good friend, but I was wrong.

[dotcom]

[ there's a pause, and he slowly shakes his head. ]

You don't have to apologize for something like that.

[fluffier]

Too late.

[ She grins, sightly sheepish because surprise, there's more. ]

It took me this long to realise it but... I was treatin' ya like Kou a little bit—he was the boy in my memory—and I shouldn'ta done that.

[dotcom]

You're right. You shouldn't. We're different people.

[ he's not a furry ]

[fluffier]

[ look ]

I know! I'm sorry. [ The water is pretty cool, and she rubs some of it on her face. ] And I'll cut it out.

[dotcom]

[ would be pretty fucked up if he just pushed her into the water



like he won't but. ]

Was there a reason why?

[fluffier]

[ it's a post-kindness week miracle ]

I guess... Yer both kinda prickly on the outside. And ya look a little similar.

[dotcom]

We really don't.

[ don't compare him to an infant? ]

[fluffier]

A little. Ya both have light hair and red eyes—but yours are lighter than his. He's way skinnier than ya too

[dotcom]

[


he walks closer to the water to splash her. ]

[fluffier]

[ ??? this was supposed to be a moment??????

she just sputters and jerks back ]

Hey! What was that for?!

[dotcom]

I couldn't do that last week.

[fluffier]

I ain't healthy to hold onto grudges, ya know.

[ flicks water at him too ]

[dotcom]

Hm, I wouldn't be here if I didn't hold grudges.

[ but he'll straighten back up. ]

You're close to Grace, right?

[fluffier]

[ whoa, takeru lore ]

Yeah, why?

[dotcom]

Why don't you ask to stay with her on Thursdays?

[fluffier]

I will. Unless I gotta find Vira... I can't let anything happen to her either.

I'll give 'er my sword if I'm not with her at least. I don't think she's a sword master or anything, but it's something.
