[... 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

[redcloakedthief]

Also, make more friends!

[... :D

It wouldn't be Matthew if he didn't ruin it.]

[aspiring]

[SPLUTTER]

Like you're one to talk!

[B(]

[redcloakedthief]

I am one to talk, you're right!

[/purposefully misinterprets...?]

[aspiring]

[... sobbing.

He just. Droops and sighs.]

I can't keep up with you sometimes, seriously...

[redcloakedthief]

[....fft.]

Come on, Billy! I've gotten used to you at least trying to keep up!

[aspiring]

Sometimes it gets tiring, you know!

[redcloakedthief]

[And a blink, suddenly almost serious.]

Does it?

[aspiring]

[He holds up his hands, palm facing up wards, shrugging flippantly.]

... You're an exhausting person to be around, what can I say?

[redcloakedthief]

[snort. He chuckles, shaking his head.]

Maybe you're just slow.

Like this haircut!

[aspiring]

S-Shut up! You were distracting me!

[redcloakedthief]

I will be silent, as a model patient!

...Patient? Is that the proper word?

[aspiring]

... I'm not some kind of hair doctor, Matthew.

[redcloakedthief]

...Client? Do you have clients?

[...and he laughs.]

We would actually have something in common then!

[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.
