[...YEAH SHE'S GONNA BE LAUGHING HERE TOO...]

[good_breakfast]

[Anyone else he'd be snapping at, but since it's you...]

X-xion....

[recidivated]

[come on, she means it in a good way!]

I-I'm sorry, I can't help it...

[good_breakfast]

[He knows. He's just... really embarrassed by all this.]

It's.... It's okay. I just... really didn't want anyone to hear those.

[recidivated]

[there, there...]

That's probably why the Guide turned on...

Or, in other words, why your mun wanted to do the post.

[good_breakfast]

[He hmphs.]

Yeah, probably. If it wasn't for the fact that he doesn't like hurting me, he'd be just as bad as the fal'Cie.

[recidivated]

[oh come on, don't even try to be huffy with her.]

I wouldn't go that far.

[good_breakfast]

...Did my mun tell yours that if the next planet is right he's planning on making me jump off a cliff because I'm being chased by a bird?

[In my defense, he'd use aero to slow his descent. And in Hope's defense, it's going to be a fucking huge bird.]

[recidivated]

...

No, this is our first time hearing that.

[oh my god.]

[good_breakfast]

He says he wants to give me a "cool action scene" that ends with me landing face first in a mud puddle because I'mnot allowed to be cool for longer than ten seconds.

... Are you sure you wouldn't go that far now?

[recidivated]

... I'm sorry.

[good_breakfast]

[He sighs.]

It's not your fault my mun's crazy.

[recidivated]

I still feel like I should apologize, though... especially since my mun can't stop laughing at it.

[good_breakfast]

[facepalms]

Is it like a requirement or something for muns to be insane?

[recidivated]

...

It's probably not a good idea to say something like that.

...because i feel rather trolly tonight

[feigned]

[upon reading that, Vanille just squeals at what's she's just seen.]

Oh, Hope, you're such a charmer!

Oh lord.

[good_breakfast]

I-It's not funny Vanille!

:3c

[feigned]

I'm not joking! I already knew you had a way with words, but that's something new entirely!

[good_breakfast]

Uggggggh...

[Excuse him while he just buries his head in his hands.]

[feigned]

[Vanille is not having any of that! she walks right on over and leans over as she squints at him, hands on her hips.]

You know you never look good with a long face, Hope. Come on, cheer up!

[good_breakfast]

[Dammit. He used to be able to stay dour around you, Vanille.]

Okay, okay, sorry. I just... I wouldn't care so much if this didn't happen every time I did something I didn't want anyone else to see.

[feigned]

[no one can resist her for long (whether it's for better or worse).]

Hmm... maybe that's why it keeps happening? After all, if you didn't react, it wouldn't be as... well, amusing to see what would happen, right? No offense, of course! I just couldn't think of another way to word it.

[good_breakfast]

[And he just sighs again.]

No, it's okay, I knew what you meant...

[Not that it helps...]

[feigned]

[she can't take it anymore! she reaches out and grabs both of his hands, giving them a good squeeze and shake.]

Enough moping, Hope! What's done is done. You can't face your girlfriend with that kind of face, now can you?

[good_breakfast]

Ah!

[He lets out a surprised noise as she does that, but he also chuckles, a smile finally coming over his face.]

N-no you're right. Sorry.

[feigned]

[SUCCESS.]

You don't need to apologize to me, silly. Besides, seeing you with a smile is more than enough!

[good_breakfast]

[Hope rubs the back of his head sheepishly as she says that. She always knows just what to say.]

Thanks Vanille.

[feigned]

[but of course. Vanille responds with a grin as per usual, but this one seems wider than usual. if that's even possible.]

You're very welcome! Don't go forgetting that now, all right?

[good_breakfast]

[Did her face become ten inches wider to accommodate or something?]

I won't. I promise.

[feigned]

[...thanks for that mental image of Vanille with a Jokeresque smile]

Good! Otherwise, my mun might have to get your girlfriend to keep you in line while I'm not around.

[unseenchaos]

Don't be upset, Hope.

[good_breakfast]

[Annnnd since this is not future!Hope, he's a little puzzled why a girl he's never met before seems to know his name.]

Uh... how do you know my name?
