Recently dropped; someone's unamused.

And what are you expecting me to say right now? "You tried"? Don't get me wrong, that was a pretty little failure with the green-haired kid, too; I suppose it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who's getting to deal with your amazing powers of decision-making.

Listen, the point is that either you're going to get out there and find something else, or you're not; I'm just getting tired of this will-I-won't-I thing you've been throwing around for weeks now. It doesn't matter either way - in the end, I'm nothing but a guy with all the time in the world. If you don't have enough, I can't really say that I care.

Passive-aggressive? Maybe. I'd think you'd prefer that over flat-out aggression, though - but if not, then you go right on ahead and let me out for a while. It'd be the most fun I've had all month.

...Talk to me, Kimbley.

[alchemicals]

I said, don't worry about it.

[determinator]

You know me better than that, Kimbley. What is it?

[alchemicals]

Look, I guess I'm just frustrated over this whole situation, all right?

[determinator]

...You don't need to be frustrated on my behalf, Kimbley. I can handle this on my own.

[alchemicals]

I never said you couldn't.

[determinator]

Yes, well.

[...Well.]

Thank you for your concern, I suppose.

[alchemicals]

...yeah, if you say so.

[whoa who turned up the awkward in here]

[determinator]

Of course I do.

[Why does it always get awkward when he starts tsuning anyway?]

...I really do appreciate the offer, but it's best if he remains alive.

[alchemicals]

[BECAUSE TSUN IS AWKWARD FOR EVERYONE MAYBE?

...just a guess]

He must be really good to you, Archer.

[Although really, that's actually not sounding annoyed anymore - his voice is back to the usual lighter tone he uses when he's teasing the hell out of you. Because dealing with shit by not dealing with shit is the best way to deal with shit! Or...something...]

[determinator]

[...maybe...]

Oh come now, you've seen him. He's horrible. ...Though I suppose that does make him better than you~

[Hey, that's fine! We can not deal with it together! And clearly teasing you is the best option here!]

[alchemicals]

Does it? From what I understand, that just makes it arguable whether I'm better or worse.

[Because seriously, you wouldn't have hired him if he wasn't horrible.]

[determinator]

[...accurate.]

That's... not what I meant...

[You are the herpiest thing, Kimbley.]

[alchemicals]

[Shrug!]

Close enough.

[determinator]

[Oh bb...]

Yes, well.

[WELL]

...I suppose I might have missed you a bit.

[alchemicals]

[...oh come on don't do that...]

...yeah, you too. I...

[...fail. orz]

I might have missed you too.

[determinator]

Well of course you did. I am pretty magnificent, after all.

[HE NEVER ONCE DOUBTED THIS, YOU KNOW]

[alchemicals]

[Oh, that'll get him to laugh, you bastard.]

All right, all right. Yes, you are. Happy?

[determinator]

Of course I am. I'm here with you, aren't I?

[...let's just pretend that wasn't stupidly sappy, okay.]

[alchemicals]

[...Ar...cher...]

...right.

[determinator]

...What?

[Getting defensive works, right?]

[alchemicals]

[...heh.]

It's nothing, Archer.

[determinator]

Don't give me that. If you have something to say, say it.

[alchemicals]

[no but why you gotta do these things]

Well, that was kind of sappy as hell, don't you think?

[determinator]

[Oh don't you headtilt at him! He's 4x weak to that!]

Well it certainly wasn't meant to be sappy!
