[uh]

I'll keep that in mind, but if that's their goal, they did a rather poor job. I was more confused than anything. My partner likewise just seemed exasperated.

[a beat.]

You wouldn't know if Hisoka might be behind it, would you? When I showed him, his reaction suggested otherwise, but it's not like I can expect honesty from him.

[leaberator]

I didn't say they were smart about it.

[ the darkness picked pete the cat? like damn of all dumbasses ]

... I asked him. He said it'd be a waste to do that to you. [ life is terrible, because god he wishes that were him ] He also said he convinced you to show him.

[nonbelligerent]

That was the main reason I doubted it was him. I don't think he particularly likes me, so he'd have no reason to single me out.

[sorry axel]

Yes, I suppose that's one way of putting it.

[leaberator]

[ #wishthatwereme

hm. ]

Yeah? You didn't strike me as the kind to be easily convinced by that guy.

[nonbelligerent]

It's a long story.

You wouldn't happen to know his element, would you? Though don't tell him I asked that.

[leaberator]

He wouldn't tell you?

[nonbelligerent]

He did. I just don't trust that he necessarily told the truth.

[leaberator]

... Yeah, that tracks. What did he say?

[nonbelligerent]

[he pauses, but since it's hisoka's partner and also because it's hisoka and shess is more cool with potentially doxxing his secrets:]

Water.

[leaberator]

Yeah, that's what he told me, too. Made a big deal about how that meant we fit... somehow.

[ lea does not think hisoka knows what basic elements are. ]

[nonbelligerent]

Aren't water and fire polar opposites?

[leaberator]

Yeah.

[ just. yeah. ]

[nonbelligerent]

He probably would've come up with something no matter what your elements were.

[sorry for your life,]

[leaberator]

... I don't wanna think about that.

[ it's true but you SHOULDN'T SAY WRITE IT ]

[nonbelligerent]

Well, do your best. Despite everything, he may be useful to you.

[leaberator]

That might actually be worse.

[ if he could spend his entire life avoiding hisoka he would ]

[nonbelligerent]

[honestly fair]

It's your choice. I just try to avoid making an enemy out of him.

[leaberator]

I wasn't looking to make an anything out of him.

[nonbelligerent]

That's not working out well for you now, is it.

[leaberator]

Let's talk about something else.

[ that's a no. ]

[nonbelligerent]

Like?

[leaberator]

[ anything else. ]

You talked to Sol and Lune about the note?

[nonbelligerent]

Yes, I asked Lune about it.

[leaberator]

Was it a case of "know, but can't tell", or?

[ he assumes lune did not have a clue personally but ]

[nonbelligerent]

Somewhat. It is one of the things he's forbidden from talking too much about, but he did confirm it was from someone with "an ability that may have been granted to anyone, but not everyone."
