[...Amazing......]

In that case, it is a very fitting residency for you. [Yeah, he can sense that irony and has no problems with pointing it out, perfect deadpan as ever.]

[ oh what. ]

Ass.

[ yeah, she knows what you meant. ]

At least I'm not living with a menagerie of very loud people. You really ought to do something about that.

[excuse you]

It was not by my choice. [ugh] I am sure you're aware of that much.

I didn't think you were that much of a social butterfly, no. Your partner, right?

[ oh! ]

I met him, by the way. I think I forgot to mention that, but I did. He seems... interesting. The first thing he did when we spoke was insult you, I didn't very much appreciate that.

Yes. He is the sort to bring in anyone who needs a home and call them family.

[Sousei's tone would like you to believe that he thinks it's a foolish thing, but honestly--he can't quite help the hint of fondness either. After all, it's that very trait that gave him a home, when it comes down to it.

He'd be in a bad place if not for the Kumous, if he was even alive.]

And he is the sort to insult me, yes. [A vague quirk of his lips--he's amused.] You were attempting to defend my honor?

[ hawke finds it funny whenever sousei talks about tenka, especially after meeting tenka. she sees your affection, buddy! she's skilled in the art of disdain laced affection. you just haven't seen it yet!

but at his question, she would just shrug and wave it off but uh -- voice. right. ]

I may have. It was very out of the blue, you know. Very little set up and everyone knows a good joke deserves an equally good set up. So, of course I defended you!

[ for comedic honor of course! ]

[His response takes a moment; there's a brief beat as he absorbs that, and then he sounds more amused than he has any right to sound.]

You defended my honor for the sake of your jokes, is that what you are trying to say here?

[Good lord.]

Should I or should I not be grateful, then?

[ she hears that amusement, you butt. but she's pretty amused herself so her grin is present in her next words. ]

Now you're getting it. Of course you should be grateful, serah. Your honor still remains intact, after all.

[He has not ascended to true butthood yet, but now he's going to.]

No, that is not how it works. If you were truly, seriously defending my honor, then I may have reason to be grateful.

But as it was only for the sake of your jokes, I see no reason to be.

[Butt.]

[ . . . ah, this guy. ]

But... it isn't as if you've given me reason to do such a thing yet!

[ in fact -- ]

You haven't even agreed to watch over my dog!

Don't concern yourself with that. I don't require you to defend my honor.

[All jokes aside, he is plenty capable of doing that himself, thanks.]

... Ah, right. I suppose it will not be too much trouble, so long as it is not for an indefinite amount of time.

You somewhat needed it defended but alright.

[ ok grumpypants, whatever. ]

He's mostly self-sustainable, you know. Garrett's a wardog, he's probably seen more battles than you.

I do not.

[what a childish fight and yet he can't help but pick it anyway!!!]

... And the number of fights he has seen has nothing to do with his general manners.

Sure do.

[ hawke is 100% just keeping it going just to see how long sousei lasts. she's the worst person. ]

I don't appreciate the assumption that my dog is without manners. He is incredibly polite! As polite as myself, even!

How do you figure that?

[Fisticuffs at dawn!!!]

Well, I had been assuming so because your manners are terrible, so that is not confidence-inspiring.

You have a suspicious lack of ego that offends my sensibilities. Someone must step in.

[ she'll have the ego OF TWO PEOPLE if she must. ]

My manners are precisely what they should be depending on the precise need for them at the time. Garrett is quite the same, of course.

My-- what? [??? He was not expecting that at all.] What are you talking about?

[Sorry, we'll come back to the manners thing in a second]

Your ego, serah. Feel free to correct me if you must, [ which, lol. ] but you hardly ever seem particularly bothered by any attacks to it. It's so infuriating! You wouldn't last a day in Kirkwall, I'm sure of it.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I have more than enough of an ego.

[???]

You have no idea what you're talking about.

And if I were to tell you that your hair made you look like a twelve year old boy, trying to be impressive for his mother...?

[ hawke pls ]

[hawke...???]

My hair has nothing to do with anything, and if you're trying to rile me up with it, it isn't going to work.

And how you carry yourself! My, it's as if you have the Maker himself shoving a staff -- well, somewhere inappropriate surely.

[ hawke stop ]

[There's a slow, deliberate pause.]

...You are doing this on purpose. Do you have something of use to say? I'm going to hang up otherwise.

[ a very bored sigh here ]

You could have at least insulted me back.

Well, now I am definitely not going to insult you, if that would only make you feel better about the entire situation.

I am not your source of entertainment.
