a thing

[heroinhisowntime]

[In the tradition of Aather games, the setting is a stone room with no windows... or doors. There is a simple table with two chairs set with some basic food - meats, cheeses, fruit, etc. There is also a piece of paper on the table with instructions, but it just reads Take this chance how you will.

There is nothing else in the room except for its two inhabitants, who both appear in it suddenly.]

Hmm...

[verypointed]

Do you want me to list it?

[heroinhisowntime]

L-List?!

[verypointed]

Yes, list. or would you prefer to find it out yourself?

[heroinhisowntime]

...I think you probably notice better than me...

[verypointed]

Well for starters, only Rock Bison knew you had a child and you've been a hero for well over a decade.

You never actually talked about your family... I didn't know you had a brother until Kaede mentioned it.

You didn't tell me your powers were declining, choosing instead to make up a horrible lie about it when I found out you wanted to retire.

... do you want me to continue?

[heroinhisowntime]

Those aren't really secrets! ...Except for that last one, that one sounds pretty bad.

[verypointed]

They're still things you keep to yourself.

[heroinhisowntime]

I guess...

[verypointed]

So we're the same in that regard.

[heroinhisowntime]

So sometimes you need a little meddling, right?

[verypointed]

So you agree that it's meddling now?

[heroinhisowntime]

...Hypothetically! If it's meddling! Which it's not!

[verypointed]

Is too.

[heroinhisowntime]

Is not! Anyway, you didn't answer the question!

[verypointed]

Is too. And technically you already know the answer to that.

[heroinhisowntime]

That's not the same as hearing you say it.

[verypointed]

Well I won't say it.

[heroinhisowntime]

Aw, come on, Bunny...

[verypointed]

No.

[heroinhisowntime]

But Buuuuunny... It's really not the same...

[verypointed]

... do you really think that's going to work?

[heroinhisowntime]

It might!

[verypointed]

Try harder.

[heroinhisowntime]

Uh, alright... how about this...

You just said we were the same, right? So anything you say goes for me too. We're partners, which means we've help each other out. It's something we need sometimes, even when we don't want to talk about it. Right?
