All that grew inside me was a darkness I acquired...

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...Do you have to think about that kind of stuff?!

I'm over that whole phase okay!? I've put her behind me and I am definitely over everything that happened when I decided to join up with those psychos.

Just let me deal with it okay?! I did a bunch of stupid unforgivable stuff when I was her so just..let me take this time to get over it and make up for everything I did.

But you're really not just Saft anymore.

You've experienced too much for that to be the case. No, you're much more now. It would be irresponsible to pretend it never happened.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Then crown me queen of irresponsibility.

I'd rather pretend it never happened then be forced to constantly remember what I did by you badgering me like this.

...Seriously, what's with your sick fascination with me?

[tortureshow]

Yes, I'll be sure to let the families know you don't even care to remember how you killed their sons and daughters.

[ He turns on his heel, waving a hand. ] Until we meet again, Dragon.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Don't let him get to you Saft. He's bluffing. He didn't give a shit about you - there's no way he actually cares enough to go and do something like that. She'll work out how to deal with the families herself when she's ready to.]

Avoiding questions again. Shoulda known.

[tortureshow]

You're the one who told me to get lost, Dragon ~

[ But he stops walking anyway, though his back remains to her. ]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I wanna know why you keep coming back to bother me like this...

You can't be done with me if you keep coming back to rub everything I did back in my face.

[tortureshow]

[ He gives a shrug. ]

Oh, you know, when you share the same mundane as a certain legendary hero, it's hard to resist coming to torment his friends.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Hey mun? Why can't you allow one your your other muses to deal with this guy for a chance, She can think of one specifically who'd be pretty awesome at dealing with a jerk like Ocelot, but unfortunately since she wouldn't be able to summon him without a command seal in the first place she's shit out of luck.]

Well, I guess when you don't actually have any of your own you gotta get your jollies somewhere. Get a hobby already.

[tortureshow]

Oh, you wound me, Dragon.

[ He twirls his revolver. ]

You're my hobby, for the moment.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[You're just REALLY out to annoy the hell out of her aren't you, You old cat?]

Congrats, if you were looking to gross me out, You succeeded.

[tortureshow]

[ He just laughs. ]

Now now, I think you misunderstand me! I'm not interested in you like that. Sorry, you're not my type. [ hee hee. ]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Thank God.]

Then why bother? You already wrecked my life...what else could you possibly want from me?

[tortureshow]

You're a necessary piece in this long game, Dragon. It will all be worth it in the end.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

A game I have no interest in playing.

I didn't give you consent to continue using me like this.

[tortureshow]

HA! [ That gets a laugh out of the old cat. ] And do you ask for consent from the chess pieces you use to play? Of course not. You're a pawn, you don't have a say. A means to an end.

That's how the game is played. Snake is the same, Liquid, too. All just pawns of a much larger game. They tried to break free of their destinies, but it didn't really work out that way... It was just another part of the game.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

And what about you? Aren't you currently someone's pawn too?

[tortureshow]

I play my part, and I see how the story unravels from there. Not a bad life, if you know the shortcuts.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Sorry, Ocelot but you can't keep a dragon stuck in one place for too long. Sooner or later they have to spread their wings.

I'm not gonna stick around and continue to be played like this.

[tortureshow]

I'm not planning on keeping you caged up. Go ahead, run off somewhere.

If I need you again, you'll know.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

What if I decided to take you in myself?

You can just think of it as a hostage situation.

[Now there's an idea. Though she can't imagine Snake would be too happy with it, She'd need to take everyone elses' wellfare into consideration too and there's no telling f she can actually ever bring herself to trust the old cat again.]
