[goddammit lancer are you drinking again--of course you are]

Connla's runnin' around Johto again--you happen to see a kid with a thick Scottish accept, point him towards the Celadon breeding center.

Course, I'm in Vermillion waitin' to see Saber finish this thing out, but I should probably be back before he gets there.

[He paused to take another drink of god only knew what.]

....oh yeah, and I really hate Gyarados. I mentioned that lately?

Look, I...I don't like leaving things unfinished. I came here for the tournament and I'll stay until the end. Connla's a tough kid, he can last on his own for a little longer.

[ex_cashcow493]

Then I will be sure to finish this with haste. It would bother me terribly to keep you from him.

[riastrad_ridire]

I didn't doubt for a second that you would, Saber.

[ex_cashcow493]

[ A nod. ] Then I will also not keep you from your drinks.

[riastrad_ridire]

Nothin's stopping you from joining me if you wanted to.

[ex_cashcow493]

Apparently there is something stopping me.

[ Adding on nervously: ] Many of the individuals here believe me to be a child and drinking as a child is frowned upon.

[riastrad_ridire]

...They do? That's kinda stupidl I mean hell, you're short, but that's about it.

[Shrug.]

How about I owe you a celebratory dinner on the way back to Celadon, then? Since there's no way you're gonna lose or anything.

[ex_cashcow493]

[ But she lost three times so far. ]

To celebrate your boy's return? Yes, yes indeed.

[riastrad_ridire]

[Shhhhhh, it's the last one that counts.]

Well, that too. But you're gonna end this tournament on a high note, aren't you?

[ex_cashcow493]

That? That depends on how lowered your inhibitions get.

[ Hey she's getting better at this teasing thing. Nero must be coaching her on the side. ]

[riastrad_ridire]

...Say what.

[SABER WHEN DID YOU GET SASSY]

[ex_cashcow493]

Sorry, was that too forward?

[ Easily broken. It's hard when he's not her honor bro; now she has to mind what she says in case she takes it a step too far. ]

[riastrad_ridire]

Not really. But coming from you, it's a hell of a surprise.

[ex_cashcow493]

Sorry. It will not happen again.

[ She's way too sheepish for this. ]

[riastrad_ridire]

It won't? Hah, that's almost disappointing.

[ex_cashcow493]

It is?

[ Now she's so confused. Why do you do this to her? ]

[riastrad_ridire]

[Because he's a difficult little jerk.]

It was kind of cute, actually.

[ex_cashcow493]

Now it is you that is doing the teasing.

[ A sigh. ] How did I allow this situation to turn on me?

[riastrad_ridire]

Can't let your guard down for a second with me, of course.

[ex_cashcow493]

You have to be swift in some form, yes?

[riastrad_ridire]

I'm as quick as I want to be.

[ex_cashcow493]

Yet not quick enough.

[ There's a fleeting smile, then click. ]

[riastrad_ridire]

...?

[GURL WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR]
