[... Well.]

You know, I'm almost a little surprised that you didn't just pop out of nowhere and give me a heart attack.

[Aka hi Matthew, what a pleasant (or something) surprise, running into you like this—]

Comments

[aspiring]

Yeah, it's clients. And what, people hire you to spy on others or something?

[redcloakedthief]

Well, of course they do.

[A bright smile.]

So we both have clients.

[:D]

[aspiring]

[Dramatic sigh—]

Great. I have something in common with you.

[redcloakedthief]

Yep! You should be grateful: that means you're not entirely dull.

[aspiring]

Because I have clients? You sure have a weird idea of what constitutes not dull.

[redcloakedthief]

Because you share something with me! Keep up, Billy.

[aspiring]

By that logic, I'm also not entirely dull because I'm male and have been stuck here since Day One.

[redcloakedthief]

[He just shrugs, tilting his head at that.]

...Well, one of those is true.

We're the only ones left, after all. It feels like it's been a really long time.

[aspiring]

And you even got to go home once. Geez, when is it going to be my turn?

[Immediately after he says that though, he realizes that that might've not been the best thing to say and he coughs into his hand.]

... A-Anyway!

[redcloakedthief]

[...well. It pulls a smile onto his face, oddly enough. And--]

I'm sure you'll get your chance to go home eventually. It's inevitable here, after all.

And it'll be better for you, too.

[aspiring]

[A handwave]

You and Saya-chan would be lonely.

[redcloakedthief]

...Yeah? Maybe.

But loneliness is something you can get over.

Being stuck in a world when you've got plenty of potential? Not so much.

[aspiring]

[...]

Way to sound like you don't want me around. You're breaking my heart here, Matthew.

[redcloakedthief]

Yeah?

...

Of course I want you around. That said, this place is kind of dangerous. And you had a life back home, didn't you?

[aspiring]

This place is dangerous? Oh wow, I never noticed.

[He just shrugs at that last part.]

[redcloakedthief]

[...A huff.]

Yeah, yeah, alright. I get the point. You're not sure if you want to leave.

[aspiring]

[A smile]

So for now, you're stuck with me. ♥
