[ huh. ]

You sound surprised.

If you hadn't made it out of that room, he'd have been the first one taking a chunk out of that robot when it emerged.

[shiftingwinds]

...is that so...

[her expression of surprise shifts into something warm.]

Ahaha, no way can he deny we're best friends now!

[aubins]

[ ah... that's a soft expression. ]

Just that?

The two of you seem joined at the hip a lot of the time.

[shiftingwinds]

Well, we're best friends, after all. And coworkers, technically! Of course we're going to stick close in a place like this.

[she smiles]

[aubins]

[ ....(escha voice) ]

...

Somehow the idea of you having a job is pretty funny. [ he has seen you drunk at the bar a lot, sqx. ]

[shiftingwinds]

Funny?

[she just. laughs at that. oh well. (she drinks on the job, too.)]

What's so funny about it?

[aubins]

[ haha ]

I'm trying to imagine you teaching at the monestery, with a jug of that wine you like in your hands the whole time.

[shiftingwinds]

[that's just manuela]

Ahahaha! What a thought! You have to admit, though, I'd make a very fun teacher!

[aubins]

[ YEAH I KNOW. shi qingxuanuela... ]

...




.... You'd probably fit right in honestly.

[shiftingwinds]

What, really?

[aubins]

Yeah.

All three of the teachers are ... unique.

[shiftingwinds]

Now, that just makes me curious.

[aubins]

They're all very unique individuals. What else can I say?

[shiftingwinds]

Well, that's a good thing! Life's more fun when you're around people like that, don't you think?

[aubins]

That's one way of looking at it, sure.

[shiftingwinds]

[?]

Is that not how you would look at it, Yuri?

[aubins]

Nah, they're all fine. But sometimes a whole host of colourful and willful personalities in one place can bring about... clashes.

[ or five year long wars but who's keeping track? ]

[shiftingwinds]

...ahaha... it's like that in the heavens sometimes, too. But if you can get along with everyone, it's really fun!

[aubins]

It's always a pretty big "if", isn't it?

[shiftingwinds]

Oh, I don't know about that. I manage it quite handily. [...] With one or two exceptions, but we don't count those.

[aubins]

...

That sounds like a very big two exceptions.

[shiftingwinds]

Let's just say... my brother has terrible taste in friends.

[aubins]

Mm.... and I guess you have to be nice to them because they're your brother's friend.

[shiftingwinds]

Only when my brother is around to tell me to play nice.

[aubins]

Ahh, and when he's not...

[ he makes a gentle PUNCHING motion into his hand. ]
