[ HELP he laughs ]

Oh, was that a serious request? Surely you have better prospects than an old fox, Claude. You heartbreaker.

[midway]

Right, I'm sure you have plenty of love in your heart for me.

[ Eyeing him thoughtfully. ]

[fried]

[ eyebrow raise... ]

What a pointed statement. [ whacks him with his tail again. ] Say what you mean.

[midway]

[ Innocent. ]

I wouldn't want to gossip.

[fried]

You should tell me, or I'll announce to the Chipper network that you and Wis'adel slept together, her rating on your performance included.

[midway]

[ CHOKES ON AIR ]

What? She never told me I was being rated!

[fried]

[ i am so sorry claude ]

I think that was a special insight for my ears, but it's still gossip.

[midway]

[ misery ]

I was only going to tease you for being in a relationship.

[fried]

[ EYEBROW RAISE ]

Am I? And who told you that?

[midway]

I never said I was going to be honest about it.

[fried]

[ this is revenge for the blackmail isn't it ]

Then why bring it up... you can't tease me if I have no idea what you're talking about, you numskull.

[midway]

Sure, I can. Just like this:

"You know, Jiaoqiu, a pity date is bad enough as it is, but a pity date when you have someone at home is even worse! And you call me the heartbreaker!"

[fried]

[ HELP

he splutters!!! ]

At home - what fiction are you writing in your head?

[midway]

[ This is what you get for calling him a buzzkill. ]

By home I mean your room here, of course.

[fried]

[ that's fair ]

... You do realize that that was the result of a prank, yes? [ dryly. ]

[midway]

I do. That's not who I think it is.

[ wink wonk ]

[fried]

[ ???? ]

Are you talking about Fidelio...

[midway]

[ ... ]

I'm just bluffing, Jiaoqiu. I can promise you I haven't even thought about it before this conversation.

[ He feels bad harassing him. ]

[fried]

[ long pause

and then he flicks claude on the nose ]

You are a ridiculous man.

[midway]

[ Hehe flicks him back ]

I just think it's important to try and find levity in times of hardship.
