[... 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.

[flared]

[He crosses his arms then just for the hell of it takes another dart to toss. As expected, it pops a balloon. The guy behind the counter is probably getting a bit miffed that he has to keep replacing them.]

That's what everyone says when I tell 'em. But it's the truth. Dunno what else I'm supposed to say.

[fundemetal]

[Leo wants to trust Axel and nothing about him is making him think he's lying... but if he's a good enough actor to fake emotions, then who's to say he's not lying right now... but then... ahhhh this is confusing. He gives up on the train of thought and sighs.]

I don't know whether to believe you or not.

[flared]

[He knows it's confusing, so he won't make him think any more on it than he has to.]

Just take from it what you will, buddy. Ain't no skin off my back.

[fundemetal]

[He appreciates the gesture.]

I'll do that.
