[The nudge is timed just right that it throws Leo's aim completely off and the dart hits... the ground near the guy running the booth's feet. Oops?]

Dude, not cool.

[flared]

[Pfffff]

Hey, I was bein' nice to you for a little bit, wasn't I?

[fundemetal]

Yeah, well you're gonna have to behave this time.

[Leo holds Axel back with one hand (rather futilely given their height difference) while he takes aim with his last dart.]

[flared]

[This time he'll let him toss the dart without interruption. See? He's a great guy, really. You can practically see his halo.]

[fundemetal]

[Leo manages to pop the balloon and he wins himself a small prize - one of the goldfish plushes.]

At least I won something.

[flared]

[Would you look at that adorable little thing?]

Nice. What're you gonna name it?

[fundemetal]

[So completely adorable.]

Name it? I don't go naming stuffed animals. [Tables and robopups on the other hand...]

[flared]

You don't do a lot of things you totally should be doing, man.

[fundemetal]

Like what? [Seriously Axel, shed some light for your fire bro.]

[flared]

Cuddling for one thing.

[You did mention that before, didn't you?]

[fundemetal]

[He did mention it.]

Kind of takes more than one person to cuddle. That's not something quick and easy to change.

[flared]

You've got friends and you're a pretty lovable guy, aren't you?

[Shrugs than whoop there's another swat to your shoulder there]

Shouldn't be that hard to arrange.

[fundemetal]

I guess so? No one's told me to get lost, but maybe that's just 'cause they're too nice to. [Sorry Axel, your fire bro has some self-esteem issues.]

[flared]

[... What. What is this nonsense. Hands at his hips, Axel leans forward to try and make eye contact with Leo.]

What're you talking about? What kind of jerk would say something like that?

[fundemetal]

[He makes defiant eye contact back.]

I just told you that no one had. So no one is that kind of jerk. But that doesn't mean no one is thinking it.

[flared]

Fine. Then what kind of jerk would think that?

[Defiant stare right back at you bro]

[fundemetal]

[That's a good question, bro. And it stumps Leo just long enough that his answer sounds dumber than it already is.] A jerky jerk. I don't know. Does it even matter? [He throws his arms up in the air in frustration.]

[flared]

[So cute. He could pinch your cheeks. ... Instead he'll just try to take that goldfish toy of yours so he can hopefully make it move in front of your face. Now look.

He's gonna make it "talk."]

Seems to me wike someone's a wittle bit of a downer on themsewves.

[fundemetal]

[Can you see Leo rolling his eyes? If not, you're either blind or too far away and Axel is neither of those.]

I'm not a baby, so knock that off. [He bats the fish away like he's annoyed, but he's actually amused that Axel would stoop to looking that dumb in order to cheer him up.]

[flared]

[Axel makes the fish droop. If Leo swatted any harder, dare we say Axel might have... dropped the bass?]

Aw, look what you did. You made him sad.

[fundemetal]

[So dramatic.]

It's a stuffed animal. It doesn't have feelings.

[flared]

[This face]

That doesn't mean it can't pretend. Like me.

[What with Axel not having feelings and all. ... What we're saying is that Axel is a stuffed animal. That's right.]

[fundemetal]

[This face.]

Like you? What do you mean?

[Leo recalled Axel mentioning splitting off and his other being Lea... did this have something to do with it?]

[flared]

I didn't tell you 'bout that?

[He tosses the toy back Leo's way and hopes that he'll be able to catch it.]

I don't have emotions.

[fundemetal]

[Leo catches the fish easily.]

You're pulling my leg, dude. You definitely have them. I've seen you have them.
