[ Oh, huh. He knows what he's doing! ]

It's true that, aside from one individual, we don't know who might specifically find a thrill in such a thing.

[ And she twirls beautifully because of course she does. ]

[aubins]

Oh? Which individual do you think would get a thrill out of killing us all?

[ of course she doesn she's perfect ]

[femmefinale]

The one made of metal.

[ Well, yes. ]

[aubins]

Boltbag? [ please don't ever call him that to his face yuri ]

Yeah, I guess we're lucky he didn't find a way to end us in between wrecking the elevator and calling us all meatbags.

[femmefinale]

He's certainly someone we'll need to watch for... though if he does kill someone, it doesn't appear it would be too difficult to conclude it was his work.

[ Yeah. ]

[aubins]

Yeah, I wonder how much he'd be able to cover up. But underestimating him wouldn't be a good plan either.

[ sigh ]

[femmefinale]

Observe and see, I suppose.

[ So, the usual for anyone with patience. ]

[aubins]

... Here's hoping we have the time and the chance, here.

[ ... doom and gloom, but not wrong. ]

[femmefinale]

Hoping for time, yes... though we may have to make the chance ourselves.

[ Somehow.

Guess what Yuri, she can twirl you too. ]

[aubins]

[ well.

he's twirled. they're literally 1cm apart in height so i hate how easy that probably was for her. ]

[ he laughs! ]

Very smooth.

[femmefinale]

About as smooth as you. I'm rather hurt that you didn't tell me you could dance, Yuri.

[ You and your 1 cm taller self. ]

[aubins]

Battle's not so different to a dance, when you strip it down to the basics.

[ ... he snorts though. ] I got "persuaded" to do a dancing competition by my teacher a few years back. Turns out I wasn't bad at it.

[femmefinale]

... I see. I think I'll have to ask for a proper performance one of these days.

[ Show her what you've got, hot stuff. ]

[aubins]

I don't think it'll be anything as professional as you, Prim.

[ he can see how easily she's moving. ]

[femmefinale]

I've danced for years.

[ So. ]

But that doesn't mean I can't enjoy another's performance. Or do you think me so arrogant I'd sneer at something different from my own?

[aubins]

Maybe I'm just shy, Prim?

[ sad face :c ]

[femmefinale]

Don't speak falsehoods so sweetly.

[ Uh-huh. ]

[aubins]

[ boo. ]

Call me up about it sometime. Maybe you can teach me something new?

[femmefinale]

Oh, I'm certain I could teach you a thing or two, if you were willing to learn.

[ Please stop making everything sound so suggestive. ]

[aubins]

[ i think this is just how they chat now. ]

I'm always willing to learn something new.

[femmefinale]

[ Sounds like casual banter to me. ]

Then we can certainly revisit this.

... Have your thoughts settled a bit?

[aubins]

[ the most fun kinds of banter! ]

... As much as I think they're going to, Prim. Thanks.

[femmefinale]

[ To that, she smiles and releases him, sweeping into a curtsy. ]

It was my pleasure, Yuri.

[ It's about the best she can do right now, she's sadly aware. ]

[aubins]

And what about you? We've been been literally dancing around my issues, but do you feel any better?

[ as. y'know. better as they can feel all things considered. ]

[femmefinale]

I do, yes. A little less frustrated, at least. Though I'm sure that will persist for a bit.

[ And can you blame her ]
