Sounds like someone is lashing out. Not my fault if you can't walk straight.

[ SIR THIS ISN'T AN AA TRIAL YOU CAN'T JUST ACCUSE.

Wow. ]

Oh look at that. The hell is that?

[ Unfortunately Wolfwood is used to sandworms so this probably isn't that weird for him. ]

[Wolfwood said he should do whatever he wants so he's just listening to that? Damn (that's not what he said at all)

Kaveh jumps, but mostly because Genshin's enemies are fairly aesthetic even when they're freaky.]

Why is everything down here so ugly...

Is that really your problem with the entire thing?

[ It's sliming and possibly hostile, and that's your issue? ]

I'm just wondering! It's weird!

[RELAX... it's not even doing anything...

Just kidding it's noticing them. Damn it really doesn't look as friendly as the ponies were, huh.]

I don't suppose you brought a weapon, did you?

Not unless you count a giant cross I can bludgeon things with as a weapon.

And also a lighter, but we saw what happened the last time I tossed one and I really don't feel like spending another dollar for a third. Besides, Livio gave me this one.

[ So, let's back away? Well, he has his psych too, but surely Kaveh knows that. ]

I would have vouched for you if you'd needed it...

[He just wants to make sure Wolfwood knows that. I think about how he was allowed to check all three triguns as if he doesn't love them all to death. Terrible.

Anyway.]

To be honest, I thought it was your weapon... or a case for it, maybe. [He just assumed this, even though he really had no reason to. But sure, if Wolfwood's backing away, he'll follow to. Just turns his back on this giant slug like it's no big deal.] Should we head back to the hot springs?

[ I know Kaveh really has been assigned keeper of the Triguns. To be fair Wolfwood would have also allowed Netzach but for soem reason Netzach just passed him off to Kaveh so.

He shrugs though, when Kaveh makes that comment. ]

It ain't like anybody's asked.

[ LITERALLY NOBODY IN THIS GAME HAS ASKED ABOUT IT AT TRIAL IT HAS BEEn 6 WEEKS

The slug will remember this. This is why Kaveh fell into the pit on Wednesday. ]

Yeah sure, let's turn back.

[Netzach really said "I have one foot I'm not dealing with this tall asshole"]

I figured it was something personal. [He will turn back, then, so they can start wandering out of the hell tunnels, even though they will end up right back here in two days.

He's quiet for a moment, thinking, but it's confidence week so he doesn't waffle about it like he otherwise might have.] If I say I'm asking, will you tell me?

Maybe.

Depends on how you ask.

[ Let's get outta here before he uses up any more of his lighter fuel. ]

[Off they go!! He will lead the way again with Confidence but only by a small amount.

But, hmm. Well. He doesn't think he needs to ask where Wolfwood got it from, because he remembers seeing that memory--one of those that felt so terribly invasive, that he won't ask about unless it's absolutely critical for some reason. It's possible, of course, that that was something else, and what Wolfwood carries with him now is completely different--but Kaveh thinks it's unlikely, and he's not about to ask that anyway.

So, instead:]

What do you use it for?

It's the tool of my trade.

Is it so weird that a priest carries around a cross?

[ This is the spiel he gives every single person, but he looks at Kaveh like. Come on, man. You saw his secrets. ]

[He frowns a little... IS WOLFWOOD REALLY GOING TO MAKE HIM BRING UP THESE PERSONAL MEMORIES WITH HIS OWN MOUTH LIKE A NOSY RUDE PERSON well that's probably what he deserves for starting this conversation in the first place. Ugh.]

It wouldn't be, if things were that simple and straightforward.

[Which they aren't, and they both know it.

But as much as he wants to be respectful, he knows Wolfwood doesn't like it when he skirts around things, so he sighs. But. Fine.]

It's the same thing, isn't it? The one you were given back then.

[ Basically if Kaveh doesn't have it in him to ask despite very well likely having the answer already, Wolfwood doesn't think he deserves the answer. SORRY KAVEH...

But he makes a grunt of probably affirmation. ]

Well. After adjusting for size.

[ Since he was a beebin and all. ]

[LET HIM BE POLITE YOU LITTLE SHIT.]

And if it's rare and powerful... then I imagine you don't typically use it against your everyday Treasure Hoarder.

[It upsets him to remember how... whoever that person was, treated Wolfwood--beyond the things that were done to him, the "improvements" that were made. But he doesn't know the nuances of that relationship, so even though his mouth twists a little, unhappy, he holds it back for now.]

[ No. Be rude, you little bastard. ]

Nah. I use it pretty liberally.

[ LMAO ]

[bites him

No he doesn't do that. Actually--it's not at all what he expected, and it makes him laugh, which catches him off-guard even further because he didn't mean to do that. PLEASE.

He shakes his head as he steps back out into the hot springs cavern.]

You're something else, you know that? [iS THIS A COMPLIMENT OR NOT? Who knows, but his tone is warm.]

[ He genuinely uses it so liberally for any reason, literally including to make Vash eat dirt for having a tummy ache. This is his wife. ]

Would be a shame if I went through all that I did only to end up boring.

[Wolfwood's gun tsukumogami is going to have SO much to talk about when it spawns into existence]

I think you were probably interesting before, too. [Is he projecting. Maybe a little. But he does mean that, at least.] What's it supposed to be used for, then?

[ It's his best friend ok...

He really just looks at Kaveh at that.

Like, again, come on. You already know. ]

Killing. Obviously.

[Gives him a flat look like "YES I KNOW THAT PART"]

[ Then don't ask idiod look back ]

[Anyway he throws his hands up in exasperation because it's truly way too easy to rile him up, intentionally or otherwise]

I asked! This is me asking!

[ My greatest joy as a DWRPer now really is making people go 'UHM' off my icons alone. ]

I gave you your answer.

If you don't like it, then too bad.

[I REALLY WAS NOT EXPECTING IT WHEN I CLICKED LMFKSJHGK GOD I hate it here.]

I'm going to write an essay about how you and Alhaitham are interstellar relatives and publish it in an academic journal.

[This is the nerdiest thing he could've ever said]

Those words mean nothing to me.

[ He doesn't know fuck all about Alhaitham. ]
