god what is he even doing awake (canon is DOLLS.)

[enforce]

I'd say "It's nice seeing you too," but that'd be awfully sentimental of me, now wouldn't it?

Eeeeeehhhh....? That depends on which side of Shouta-kun's aim they are when the words are said, doesn't it?

[enforce]

Normally I'd say yes, but that's not quite the case here.

[ Either way! A regular sight for sore eyes, aren't you? ]

Yo, Vice Captain.

[missedstep]

Yoooooooooo - Captain, our Captain! Long day, hmmm? Coffee?

[enforce]

Hey, you can cool it with that stuff.

[enforce]

I was going to suggest beers, but if you've got coffee going then there's no harm in that.

Besides, it looks like you've been pulling a pretty long day yourself.

That's only because reassuring everyone in the intelligence department that just because Shouta-kun growls at them doesn't mean he'll also bite - that all takes time, you know? Time. You never think about my schedule when you go about in your reign of terror, do you?

[missedstep]

...but long days mean maybe a little good rest at night, don't they? It's fine.

[enforce]

You say that like I ask for the incompetent bastards at Intel to get in my way all the time. If Kashiwabara got paid half as well for being annoying as he is for doing his job he'd be a millionaire. Clean up's not your job anyway, jeez. Let Igaguri handle that.

[ Not always the truth, but he'll let you have your platitudes. ]

I guess so. It's a little late to be preaching though, I'd say.

[tokkei]

Who would want to hear that from you anyway!

air smooches

[enforce]

Does that mean you don't want to see me? How cold, Aikawa.

Here you are, looking lovely as ever!

kiss kiss :*

[tokkei]

If you're not going to take me seriously, then I don't want to see you at all! Don't think that just because you throw me a compliment or two, everything will be all right.

[enforce]

What if I told you I was waiting for you?

[tokkei]

Th-tha

[tokkei]

That's sexual harrassment!!

[bantam]

There's nothing wrong with being a little sentimental, Shou-chan.

[ says the guy who gets super-attached to teacups. ]

[enforce]

You would say that.

[ Good, now learn to get attached to everything on the kitchen table you keep flipping, Tama. ]

[bantam]

Well, there's plenty to be sentimental about!

[ sulksulk. ]

[enforce]

Too much, if you ask me. Especially with your terrible habit of turning our kitchen upside down every week.

[ Don't make that face! ]

[bantam]

.. I clean it up. I'm just emotional. One of us has to be.

[ this is just his face okok. ]

[citrusfree]

Oh, please. Sentiment is for idiots and you are not an idiot. Or you weren't, last time I checked, there's plenty of time for that to have changed -- which, by the way, would be annoying because the people who I can deal with? Are getting smaller in number, not just due to the whole possible-death-at-any-time thing but also? They keep changing jobs, and vanishing off like they have better things to do than save the world or something ridiculous. Worlds. Anyway, so good of you to grace us with your presence again. I'm fine, by the way, despite your little vanishing act. You know. Busy-busy. Things to do. Morons to correct. Genius always in demand. I expect you were busy too, you know. Off with your friends or something.

[ He's just going to keep talking unless someone stops him... ]

[enforce]

[ Holy shit, Rodney. ]

Gee, loud as ever, aren't you? A simple "Welcome back" would have done the job just as well.

[citrusfree]

Yes. Well.

[ Fluster fluster. No he did not miss you or anything. ]

Welcome back, I suppose. You seem... Well.

[enforce]

[ Perish the thought, clearly. ]

Heh, all things considered. Better than "inactive", or whatever they're calling it. Anything worse than that would be jumping the gun.

Thanks, though. I could say the same goes for you. So what gives, no latest crisis to attend to?

[citrusfree]

Oh, no no. Plenty of crisis to attend to. World always ending. You know, always busy. Keeping everyone in line. Correcting math even my 5-year-old niece could see was wrong. She's not even that bright. Vegan parents. Sister married one of those arty types. Horrible waste. You know she could have done brilliant things? Instead, she decides to be a stay at home parent! Complete wast of her life. Can't believe she's related to me.
