Was she that angry at you for what you did? Or have you done something else to get on her bad side?

I can always try asking her.

[leaberator]

Heck if I know. I haven't talked to her since.

[ blinks ]

What're you gonna do, ask her nicely how much she hates me?

[nonbelligerent]

I'll ask if she knows who has the partnership role this week.

[leaberator]

Fair enough. [ he sighs ] This is a mess. I doubt Four's got any reason to keep it secret, but I kinda don't feel like sharing this.

[nonbelligerent]

Yes, Four is the point of concern. After all, it's to her advantage if Shirasu dies.

[leaberator]

No kidding. [ that partnership...toxic ] How did I get myself into this mess...?

[nonbelligerent]

Do you really want the answer to that question?

[leaberator]

[ stares ]

Obviously it's rhetorical, don't be a bully, Shess.

[nonbelligerent]

Then I'll keep silent.

[leaberator]

... Technically speaking, aren't you always?

[ he deserves to be bullied. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[...............]

[leaberator]

[ coughs to hide a laugh ]

Sorry, sorry. Couldn't resist.

[nonbelligerent]

Maybe this is how you're making enemies.

[leaberator]

Awww, c'mon. I said I was sorry.

[nonbelligerent]

Apology accepted.

[leaberator]

Great. I don't need anyone else to hold a grudge against me.

[nonbelligerent]

Luckily for you, I don't hold grudges.

[leaberator]

That's the real reason we get along! I knew there had to be something.

[nonbelligerent]

Yes. That's exactly why.

[leaberator]

[ why does that make him laugh a bit. weirdo. anyway ]

... All that aside, any progress from your side on our mystery killer?

[nonbelligerent]

None, unfortunately.

[leaberator]

Yeah, me either. It's kinda annoying.

[nonbelligerent]

We'll see if it's a recurring thing or not. Shirasu, after all, didn't go around indiscriminately killing every week.

[just. the bird. and then that attempt on axel, but you know.]

[leaberator]

[ and they were willing to believe he did the horse too but that's neither here nor there ]

Yeah. Whoever hit Swift Wind did it as some kinda calculated move, so they're technically lower priority than... the rest of the stuff we're dealing with.

[ which is. a lot ]

[nonbelligerent]

Well, priority depends on their motivations.
