Oh come on, I thought we were finally getting somewhere.

[maskarang]

... You have, perhaps, made some progress. But only some.

[swordhandled]

You know what, I'll take it.

[maskarang]

You would settle for so little?

[swordhandled]

For right now, considering everything that led up to this point.

[maskarang]

Er. I... may have been at least somewhat too stubborn. Before, that is.

[swordhandled]

You wouldn't be Gerome if you weren't.

[ internal handgestures at your parents ]

[maskarang]

... I owe you an apology all the same. In your own infuriating way, you were trying to help. Poorly, and with the grace of a bucking wyvern, but the attempt was there nonetheless.

[swordhandled]

I apologize as well. After all, just because we've known each other since we were younger doesn't mean that I know everything about you.

[maskarang]

We have much to learn about each another. That said, I will never understand your obsession with listening.

[swordhandled]

The best talkers should also be the best listeners.

[maskarang]

By that logic, you realize I would be both the worst speaker and worst listener.

[swordhandled]

Practice makes perfect! Could you swing your axe the right way the first time you picked it up?

[maskarang]

I could. Father said I was a natural.

[swordhandled]

Riding Minerva?

[maskarang]

[ his posture and silence speak volumes ]

[swordhandled]

Well, there you go.

[maskarang]

[ marginally relaxes ] At any rate, speaking is not a skill I intend to nurture. Listening, on the other hand, I will consider.

[swordhandled]

Just nurture enough that we can talk more, and I'll be happy.

[maskarang]

How much more? We've spoken for what feels like ages. I fail to see how you haven't had your fill.

[swordhandled]

Perhaps not now, but later.

[maskarang]

This gluttonous craving for my company continues to do nothing but bewilder me.

[swordhandled]

I hope that things make sense for you some day.

[maskarang]

[ Ugh. ] Indulge me a moment: what do you see in me that is so worthy of your attention?

[swordhandled]

Hm, in spite of our misgivings, I do find in you someone I can trust in wholeheartedly.
