[ a little after the trial ends, stephanie will go to track belph down again. if she doesn't run into him she figures she can try again the next day, at least.

when she does spot him, she waves. ]

That sure was a thing.

You have no idea how much fear that response induced in me.

[vigilantics]

I will treat you delicately. See?

[ she holds her pinky finger out. ]

I swear it.

[axilium]

... What are we, eight?

[vigilantics]

[ very seriously: ]

Yes.

[axilium]

Funny, I don't recall de-aging ten years...

[but whatever, he'll do the pinky promise!!]

[vigilantics]

[ she seems very pleased. ]

Good. I'm older anyway, so you have to follow my wisdom either way.

[ by. like a year. ]

[axilium]

Sure thing, Miss I Flew Into a Wall.

[vigilantics]

[ she

opens her mouth

and then closes it. ]

That... was an exaggeration?

[ yeah, no, she walked into this one. ]

[axilium]

Was it, now?

[vigilantics]

It was more like I... tripped into it...

[ no ... ]

[axilium]

Is that supposed to be an improvement?

[vigilantics]

I'm sure you've tripped into walls before!

[axilium]

Actually, that sounds like a problem unique to you.

[vigilantics]

It hasn't even been five minutes and I already want to cancel the pinky promise.

[axilium]

No takebacks! Regrets are just a part of business that you have to live with, alas.

[vigilantics]

Why do I feel like I just got swindled by a scam artist...

[axilium]

You made the offer, not me.

[vigilantics]

Fine!

I will be so gentle with you that you will never swindle me again.

[axilium]

That almost sounds dirty.

[vigilantics]

Back to being flirtatious then?

[axilium]

Won't your partner get jealous?

[vigilantics]

I don't think he likes me like that?

[ she



thsafjsl holy shit the tts in the discord just went off and completely derailed my train of thought. anyway.

she doesn't think so?? ]

[axilium]

He seems a little protective of you, if nothing else.

[vigilantics]

You pay a lot of attention to my partner.

[axilium]

He's fun.

[to rile up.

also he wants to make sure he'll look after steph but he's not going to say that out loud.]
