Oh, I don't believe it.

The big-shot alien scientist duck who's been here all along is Proton's underling?! He does things like bow to him?!

Ugh. Your headspace is officially the most underwhelming place to ever exist, child. I want out of here now.

Well, well.

It's been a while, Sister Peace.

[g3_jupiter]

[ ... ! ]

... I didn't expect to find you here.

[paidinflesh]

Are you displeased?

[g3_jupiter]

What does it matter to you, if I am or not?

[paidinflesh]

It doesn't.

Perhaps I just wanted to see if you can admit things like that to yourself yet.

[g3_jupiter]

Humph. Don't flatter yourself. I never liked you, or found your company enjoyable.

It's not like I'd ever m-miss someone like you.

[... Stutter, why ]

[paidinflesh]

Now, now.

Those are some strangely specific denials, Sister Peace. Especially for someone you never liked.

[g3_jupiter]

... You're clearly reading too much into it.

I saw something of myself in you at one point, and it intrigued me. That much I will admit. It's all over now, though.

[paidinflesh]

Something of yourself?

[That odd, gentle smile doesn't flicker, but something shifts a bit in his gaze. For just a moment, mind you. Nothing too obvious.

It's there. And then it's gone. Detached again.]

Forgive my rudeness, Sister Peace, but I'm not sure whether I'm flattered or offended.

[g3_jupiter]

Humph! Don't tell me!

I really hope I was wrong. I'd hate to have something in common with you.
