[rehandle]

Great. [ He regrets asking, thank you. ] Any chance that you confidon't enable his more murderous tendencies? Or is that wishful thinking on my part?

[cacotopia]

[ Confid— ]

What makes you think I was enabling those in the first place?

[ Wow! All he did was support (cheerlead) his buddy at the moot hall meeting. ]

[rehandle]

You weren't? Well, that's a relief. I'm glad we had this chat.

[ The chat is not, in fact, over. ]

[cacotopia]

Come on, [ Coaxing, goading, baiting, ] Answer the question.

[rehandle]

Technically, my question operated on the basis that I don't already know the answer, and would rather seek expert testimony before coming to a conclusion. Hence me asking you.

[ Goad somebody who's new, buddy. ]

Let's try again, I'll take out the specialist vocabulary. [ Confidon't, he's talking about confidon't - ] Do you or do you not enable his more murderous tendencies?

[cacotopia]

[ Ugh, fine. ]

Nah, [ Yeah, ] he's growing those all on his own. Thanks for asking, though. I'm like, super hecking flattered right now.

Having fun being his sister's babysitter?

[rehandle]

I haven't actually met her. She was a little too busy bleeding profusely and dying the last time I swung by.

I take it you're not going to dissuade him, either?

[cacotopia]

So that's a no.

[ Good. He's just sad he wasn't there to watch the guy fail. ]

You take it correctly. You might wanna dissuade anyone from coming after him, by the way. I think Aegon's got a waiting list at this point.

[ And Petre can't bite all of their faces off. ]

[rehandle]

Isn't that your job? Body guard and all.

[cacotopia]

Sure, but you might disapprove of my methods.

[ He's using so many smart words today. ]

[rehandle]

That sounds like something I'll need to take up with you directly.

[cacotopia]

That's not what you're doing right now?

[rehandle]

It wasn't. No offense, but I barely know who you are.

[ But now it is, yes. ]

[cacotopia]

None taken. I'm just getting to know you, too.

[ Getting brand new attention from someone? He's living. ]

[rehandle]

Perfect. So. Care to elaborate on your methods?

[cacotopia]

For keeping Rhae-Rhae's simps from coming after him? So far I only told a guy I'd break his legs.

[rehandle]

Huh, straightforward. So long as you don't go actioning that or encouraging future homicides I don't see us having a problem.

[ PLEASE Petre his watchlist is already too long... be good... ]

[cacotopia]

[ ok stephen ]

Don't worry, I haven't killed anyone yet. [ An aside, ] Did I break any legs? There was this one time I burned that chick. And I broke someone's nose.

[ He can keep going. ]

[rehandle]

[ A long, slow breath in, released on a heavy sigh. ]

Great. Listen to me - ninety nine percent of the time, I don't care what you do. You want to luxuriate in a little cycle of protection and revenge with people who decide to go up against you after a warning, fine. Maybe I'll take issue with it, maybe I wont - it doesn't seem like you're going to be responsive to threats.

I'll let you know if I decide we have a problem, and then you can decide whether or not you want me to be your problem going forward. Sound good?

[ He simply does not have the energy for this guy's energy. ]

[cacotopia]

Depends. What happens when you're somebody's problem?

[rehandle]

Whatever I want to happen. Putting people in time out has been working well for me recently.

[cacotopia]

I don't know if I'm feeling very responsive to that either.

[rehandle]

Mm, well, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

[cacotopia]

Love the optimism.

See you around, doc!

[rehandle]

See you around.
