You may be looking forward to what's going to happen, but I'm not. This will be how many times now I'm not going to get a proper goodbye?

Don't talk to me about counting chickens before they hatch. I'm dealing with so many time travel shenanigans right now, there's no way I'm actually going to have time to tell him everything I want to before I lose him again. If there is, I'll eat my boot.

... On the plus side, you're right. It is good to see Helen again.

Because I like to tease you mercilessly?

[kneecaptain]

No, 'cause if I can't even say sorry, what's the point?

[He wasn't sorry.]

[bests]

You can say sorry if you're sincere.

[kneecaptain]

I was being polite.

[bests]

And here I thought we'd gotten to the point in our friendship where politeness is optional.

[kneecaptain]

Nah. You always gotta be polite with a lady.

[bests]

Not if she's telling you that you don't have to be.

[kneecaptain]

That sounds like a trick.

[bests]

It's called not being patronizing.

[kneecaptain]

I'm not, I really— [can be kind of a jerk to get out of talking about ~feelings~]

Never mind.

[bests]

[ what. no you can't just cut yourself off like that, bucky. it's not allowed. ]

No, what?

[kneecaptain]

Never mind.

[bests]

Alright, fine.

How's purgatory?

[kneecaptain]

Terrific. We play cards.

[bests]

What do you have to bet with there?

[kneecaptain]

You know. Mostly rocks and things.

i feel like i should apologize for this

[bests]

There's a terrible joke about getting your rocks off in there somewhere.

this whole thread is p awful

[kneecaptain]

Pretty sure that's not allowed.

true, this

[bests]

I wouldn't know. I was a terrible Catholic.

[kneecaptain]

What do you really want to ask me?

[bests]

You've made it clear you don't want to answer what I want to ask.

[kneecaptain]

I'd just get in trouble.

[bests]

You don't know that for sure.

[kneecaptain]

Nah. Everything I'm holding back's gonna get me in trouble.

It's what I'm good at.

[bests]

Getting in trouble or holding back?
