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.

Y'know, your old costume was better.

[yes that is the only thing he has to say about this]

[bests]

And that right there would be part of why I changed it. Thank you, Santo.

[rocksforbrains]

Uh...you're welcome, I think?

[bests]

That wasn't a completely genuine thank you.

[rocksforbrains]

Well, uh. That totally wasn't a genuine you're welcome, so it fits!

[bests]

Sure, Santo. Whatever you say.

[incywincyhero]

I like your costume. And not even because you'd hurt me if I said otherwise.

[bests]

Your complimenting skills could use a little work there, Peter.

[incywincyhero]

Hey, don't knock the social awkwardness. It's part of my brand. Anyway, you threatened me first.

[bests]

As a joke.

And "charm" sounds better than "brand."

[kneecaptain]

It think goodbyes're overrated.

[bests]

Sometimes they are. But it blows when you don't even get the chance to choose whether or not you're gonna say it.

[kneecaptain]

That's how it works. You never get to say everything you oughta.

[bests]

That's not true. Sometimes you do. That's not always a good thing, but that's life.

[kneecaptain]

Yeah, well. Maybe you talk too much.

[bests]

[ oh really? ]

[kneecaptain]

Heh. Sorry.

[bests]

No you're not.

[kneecaptain]

See, this is why I don't talk.

[bests]

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.

[trickshot]

Well. At least one of you is happy?
