...you've reached Archer. Leave a message and if it's suitable, I'll get back to you.

Mmmm, chef's choice.

[Troll her with your best shot, Archer. Even though what he makes would still be delicious.]

W-wait...what did I do to you in the past?

[...she suddenly looks at him, horrified. Does she need to...take responsibility for her actions?! But what actions?!]

[swordboning]

A dangerous option.

[Though with Archer, it's probably the safe one too.]

It's less about what you've done to me and what I've observed you doing.

[hoasen]

[Only Archer lets her get away with the things she do.

...what things though!!!]

...W-what have you seen me doing? [...she wonders if she has been checking him out. But now that thought has been planted into her mind, she does briefly look at his chest before looking at his face again.]

[swordboning]

It's nothing secretive, if that's what you're worried about.

[Lord, Vietnam.]

I've always prodded you about it so you don't need to be self-conscious.

[hoasen]

[WHAT KIND OF WILD LIFE HAS SHE BEEN LIVING.]

A-ah...is it? And you did? Archer just tell me!

[swordboning]

[Vietnam is the wildest person in Cerealia.]

Watching you worry about it is a bit more entertaining.

[hoasen]

[She sure is--wait.]

Ah, now I am not sure if you are just picking on me, or I really have wronged you.

[Though she did wrong him like, 2 seconds ago.]

[swordboning]

This definitely wouldn't be my reaction if I was angry.

[That's Archer for you. Even if he was acting as normal.]

[hoasen]

[Sometimes he's the devil, other days he's a saint.]

You're too generous then, Archer. Or at least when you feel like it, for me.

[swordboning]

[He can be your devil or your angle.]

Oh, am I? And what makes you say that?

[hoasen]

[He's definitely both, just look at him. Look at his appearance!]

Despite your apparent wariness of my ulterior motives, you still haven't kicked me out yet. Instead, you offered food.

[swordboning]

[Archer is full of right angles, yes. Also sighs.]

You still don't understand that I was just pulling your leg?

[hoasen]

[Exactly, so square.

And oh. Oh.]

...Archer!

[swordboning]

I'm right here so you don't have to get my attention.

[Always terrible.]

[hoasen]

[SHE DOESN'T WANT HIS ATTENTION!!

Only at the moment she does.]

I wonder if I am getting too much of it!

[swordboning]

Even if you were, I don't exactly hear you complaining about it.

[hoasen]

[OPENS MOUTH.

Closes it. Struggling to say something.]

Well...

[swordboning]

Try not to think too hard about things in the future.

[hoasen]

[Now she practically just shoves him. GENTLY. GOSH IT'S VERY GENTLE AND STRANGELY SOOTHING. Even though she was planning on shoving him. What the.]

I suppose. It is a very hard habit to break, so please have patience.

[swordboning]

[Yes, what the heck was that Vietnam.]

You'd think that after how long we've known each other, these kinds of things would be obvious.

[hoasen]

[She really probably should remove her hand now huh.]

Sometimes you are just really good at what you do.

[swordboning]

There's no point in doing something if you're not going to do it right.

[There is no try, etc, etc. Except Archer looking down at Vietnam's hand. Mostly like ????]

[hoasen]

[Why is her hand not moving? Even she doesn't know as she starts to pat...his back...what.]

So you give this kind of thing your all?

[swordboning]

[Viet....nam.]

It's just the way I am. Even if I'm set to a task I dislike, I'll do whatever I can to be successful.

[STUBBORN. Also, why GURL.]

[hoasen]

[LOOK HE HAS TO TELL HER OTHERWISE SHE DOESN'T REALISE SHE'S DOING IT.]

What would be an example of a task you really did not like? [She remembered he didn't favour guns.]
