Yes? I imagine Karlach even more effervescent over the situation though.

[ fight me ]

[tactic]

You're very good at trying to push the attention away from yourself.

[haematocritical]

I love attention, my dear.

[tactic]

[ Then receive attention. ]

So, how'd you come up with the idea to ask Gale to pretend the two of you were in a relationship?

[haematocritical]

[ opens mouth

closes mouth ]

I can’t say.

[tactic]

Is it a secret that would have you burst into flames if you were to speak it or something really embarrassing?

[ PLEASE BE THE LATTER ]

[haematocritical]

The last time I told someone I was cursed for 48 hours, so, no. There’s nothing to say.

[ alas. ]

[tactic]

Whoa, first I'm hearing of something like this.

[ But he's going to look very impressed. ]

To think it ended up working out for the both of you. That's exciting.

[haematocritical]

Secrets abound over here. And I don’t want to get cursed again, so that’s all I’m saying.

[ curses… ]

… [ mrghghg. ] Sometimes things are eye opening, I suppose. And what of you? You’ve been over here for so long with different sorts of people. If you’re prying into my personal affairs, let’s do a little reciprocation.

[tactic]

Oh, yes. I've grown quite fond of the people here.

[ Are they back at the bar yes because Aventurine is going to sip his drink like that's the end of that. ]

[haematocritical]

[ also sips his drink and looks at him. ]

[tactic]

[ SMILES ]

I don't have much else to offer you, I'm afraid.

[haematocritical]

Wasn’t there a note about you inheriting the penthouse if something happened to our dear Death…?

[tactic]

[ That pulls a genuine laugh out of him. ]

Wow, that brings back memories. I was upset that Nehan made it to the penthouse before me, that's all. I made a deal with him that it would go to me if he ever died in an elevator accident.

[haematocritical]

And he agreed to that?

[ i still fully believe that you’re in a ship. holds this in my hands. ]

[tactic]

[ you and every other person in this cursed gy ]

I can be quite convincing, you know.

[haematocritical]

[ let us have our dreams. ]

Convincing enough to persuade a man to give you his property. That’s rather impressive.

[tactic]

He beat me to it by a few minutes. Hardly his property.

[ They should have fist fought for it. ]

[haematocritical]

First come first served is usually a legitimate claim, in some people’s eyes. Perhaps you should’ve coin flipped for it.

[ that’s his thing, no? ]

[tactic]

[ Chuckles into his drink. ]

Maybe if we had gotten there at the same time.

[ Fond memories. ]

It's not as important to me now.

[haematocritical]

No?

I suppose you settle in wherever you are eventually.

[tactic]

I'll take anything over that barn loft.

[ That was traumatizing. ]

[haematocritical]

Is that just a distaste towards the barn loft, the whole events of that night, or a little of both speaking?

[tactic]

... A little bit of both.

[ Yeah. Not great times. ]

How are you liking your stay at the apartments? Or have you found someplace else?

[haematocritical]

I was in a mortuary before, my dear. A cardboard box would’ve been an improvement.

[ lmao. ]

A possibly haunted apartment is much better. If a little annoying.
