Homeless; considering deadweight

[klarion]

Yeeeah right. You think you can handle me? No affinity for the mystic arts, the attention span of a flea, and no cable television! And don't get me started on the boring username!

You don't even like your room being messy.

...

What do you mean the mystic arts won't be a problem?! That's my thing! You can't take away my thing!

...And you're taking away Teekl, too?! You monster! What'd my cat ever do to you?!

[It would've been, except for the part where he had to go and open his mouth again.]

[But she'll give a slow clap anyway]

Improvement. There's hope for you yet.

[klarion]

[Good luck getting him to keep his mouth shut longer than a few seconds.]

Good. Tests are dumb, especially when they're not needed.

[backwordscompatible]

For once, I'm actually tempted to agree with you.

[Except for the part where this one sort of was.]

[klarion]

I'd say you were already tempted; you already agreed to a deal.

[backwordscompatible]

And regretting it almost every moment since.

[klarion]

Just think of it this way: Better you dealing with me than those dumb friends of yours, right? [Because these humans valued their friends so much.]

[backwordscompatible]

For your sake. Not mine.

[klarion]

You think so? Maybe we should ask them, after all of this is done with.

[backwordscompatible]

[She straightens a little too quickly, the protest out of her mouth before she could stop herself:]

No!

[klarion]

[He cackles at the girl's alarm, grinning like a fiend as he reaches up to stroke Teekl's head.]

Why not? It would be fun, wouldn't it? All that shock and betrayal, written on their faces.

You're already willing to do so much for your dear old dad. Don't kid yourself into thinking you're not prepared for that.

[backwordscompatible]

[She hates the fact that he's right]

I'm not betraying them. I would never.

[klarion]

They won't see it that way.

[backwordscompatible]

You don't know that.

[klarion]

You don't either. Which is just more reason to see how they react, don't you think?

[backwordscompatible]

No, I don't.

Besides, Robin and Artemis would be more likely to take it out on you.

[klarion]

Oh, don't worry. They can't do anything to me.

[backwordscompatible]

You'd be surprised what they can do when they put their minds to it.

[klarion]

Ooooh, I'm so scared. Don't make me laugh; I thought you wanted subtlety.

[backwordscompatible]

Then why don't you subtly get lost until we're ready to strike?

I think I'm done with you right now.

[klarion]

[He just smirks, tilting backwards on his heels until he should be falling -- except now he's hovering a few inches off of the ground.]

Tsk tsk. Don't think it's so easy to tell me to get lost.

[Even though he doesn't need to do it, he snaps his fingers to bring a portal into existence behind him.]

Now that we've got a deal, don't be too surprised if I pop in once in awhile.

[He cackles again, not ceasing even as the portal envelops him.]

[backwordscompatible]

[Ugh]

[She has the absolute WORST feeling about this....]
