[codere]

Archer.
I want to do something you'd consider stupid and pointless.

Will you stop me ??
I just need to know if I have to ask Lancer to stop you or not.

[swordboning]

What are you planning on doing? If it's reckless and I don't approve, you may just have to.

[codere]

I'll ask him for his help then !!

[swordboning]

It'd be helpful if you'd explain what you have planned.

[codere]

So you can stop me ??
No thank you.

[swordboning]

If you don't tell me, I'll assume the worst and you won't have time to ask Lancer for anything.

[codere]

What do you plan to do ??
Ground me ??

[swordboning]

You'd be surprised.

Tell me either way. I'd rather know and hate it than not know at all.

[codere]

If I said it was something stupid, risky, and not at all worth it, you'd stop me.

[swordboning]

I'd listen to your reasons first.

[codere]

You won't understand my reasons so it's meaningless to explain it to you.

[swordboning]

I may not understand then but I'll listen to them and respect them.

[codere]

I want to leave this place and return again.
In the process of doing that, it'll force me through the tutorial stage which should give me a better idea of how this place works.

I was distracted when I first arrived because of everything going on.
This time I won't be.

[swordboning]

[Give him a few minutes.]





And if your memories don't come through intact?

[codere]

[ THAT SILENCE IS UNNERVING. So much that he might be able to feel her anxiety through their spiritual link. ]

You'll be there to pick me up while I stumble through this world again.

[swordboning]

....do what you want.

[codere]

Archer.



:(

[swordboning]

I'll go find someone to help talk me out of doing something I may regret.

[codere]

No you won't.
You'll talk to me !!

You told me to tell you and now that I have, you're punishing me for my honesty ??
How is that fair ??

[swordboning]

It'll be difficult to talk to you when you're not here, idiot. That's what I meant.

[No one wants him to try to break down stuff to find her if she's gone even a moment too long.]

[codere]

You're being confusing !!
I don't like it at all.

And why are we having this stupid conversation over text ?!

[ Because... she texted him.

She just assumed he would have materialized the moment she suggested something dumb. ]

[swordboning]

I'm saying that while you're unavailable, I'm going to find someone to keep me from doing something idiotic. There's nothing confusing about it.

And you started the conversation like this.

[codere]

I don't care who started the conversation as what.
Why aren't you here RIGHT NOW ??

[ She's not going to ask for a hug.
but she really wants a hug so bad. ]

[swordboning]

[He'd argue but he gets the hint. That's technically an order.

So he makes his way over to her, even though they're only separated by a door.]

I'm here now.

[codere]

[ Which means she's latching onto him as quickly as he'll allow her. He's not going to be a jerk and spirit form away from her, is he? ]

Archer!
