Glad to be of service, then. I suppose that means you're stuck with me as well, partners or not.

[leaberator]

Yeah, I'm obviously real bummed out about that one. [ he gestures to shess with his own ice cream for emphasis ] We're both stuck with each other now. A tragedy.

[nonbelligerent]

Well, I imagine that for you, anything is better than being stuck with Hisoka still.

[leaberator]

A rock woulda made a better partner. I guess comparatively, you've definitely downgraded compared to my upgrade, but we don't hafta mention that. [ is it ok to joke about dead mikis yet, guess he'll find out ]

[nonbelligerent]

[it's fine, axel's good]

Hmm...

[examining axel now...]

[leaberator]

[ ... ]

Whatcha look at, here.

[ shess. shess?? ]

[nonbelligerent]

... You're right. You're a downgrade from Miki.

[leaberator]

Hey, hey, hey! I already said it! If you repeat it like that, that makes it sound way more insulting!

[ this is a very real objection ]

[nonbelligerent]

How so?

[leaberator]

That long pause where you just stared, man... It's hurtful.

[nonbelligerent]

You criticize me for not hesitating, and now you criticize me for deliberating? It seems like I can't win.

[leaberator]

Nope. I'm not gonna let you win when it comes to being mean to me! That's counterproductive.

[nonbelligerent]

Haha, fair enough. I'll let you have that one.

[leaberator]

Wooooow. I think that's my first real win against ya.

[ he says, like these arguments have ever been real ]

[nonbelligerent]

That's a little sad.

[leaberator]

As my elder, you've got all the advantages, you know. Us young guys have to take the wins where we can.

[ uwu ]

[nonbelligerent]

You're still older than most of the people here, Axel.

[leaberator]

[ not when most of the teen population has been decimated!!! but he just laughs ]

Yeah, but don't tell anyone else that. I'm hoping they haven't noticed yet.

[nonbelligerent]

Hoping to be forever young?

[axel trying to blend in with the kids]

[leaberator]

[ he has a teenager problem and the first step would be admitting it ]

Sure. Who wants to get old? It's all responsibilities as far as the eyes can see.

[nonbelligerent]

Well, you're not wrong... though your life already seems to be all responsibilities.

[leaberator]

Exactly! Can you imagine how annoying it'd be if people started adding more on top of these?

[nonbelligerent]

Like what?

[leaberator]

Like making me get a real job.

[ what if he had to pay taxes, shess ]

[nonbelligerent]

Is that really likely to happen?
