Hypothetically, if we could do it again, would you want to?

[trailofblood]

[. . . pauses in noodle eating to be suddenly unsure]

Why do ya ask?

[featherduster]

[ Reasonably, ] It was a hypothetical question.

You didn't answer.

[trailofblood]

[but you're being suspicious now in a vash-y way]

I mean. . . I wasn't too fond of havin' that forced on us by Nyssa. But it wasn't all bad?

[featherduster]

[ You're just glad you got makeouts. Admit it. ]

Okay. But what if it hadn't been forced by Nyssa?

[trailofblood]

[peers at.]

Why does it matter?

[featherduster]

Because I wanna know.

[trailofblood]

Would you wanna do it again?

[featherduster]

[ A long moment of consideration... ]

Maybe. Yeah.

You still haven't actually answered, though.

[trailofblood]

[god you're aggravating!!]

What if I said yes?

[featherduster]

Then I'd keep that in mind.

[trailofblood]

[no fuck you]

You were askin' that for a reason, it's pretty damn obvious. You better not be thinkin' of doin' any weird quests while I'm not lookin'.

[because how else would that happen again, right]

[featherduster]

[ lol ]

I'm not planning on any mindreading quests, Wolfwood.

[trailofblood]

[ur face tho]

You're plottin' somethin'. . .

[trailofblood]

Y'know, you don't gotta keep callin' me by my last name.

[featherduster]

[ Whoa slow down there champ ]

Well I'm not gonna call you "Nicholas".

[ TOO WEIRD ]

[trailofblood]

[super rude]

Why's that?

[featherduster]

It makes me feel like I'm your mother or something...

[trailofblood]

Should I start callin' ya "the stampede," then?

[featherduster]

... That's not my last name.

[ But anyway ]

Does it actually bother you?

[trailofblood]

If you've got one, let's hear it.

[but more seriously]

It's not that it bothers me. I'm just sayin', if ya wanna call me Nicholas or Pound, I'd be okay with that.

[featherduster]

... I appreciate it. But you've always just been "Wolfwood" to me. It seems weird to change that.

1/2

[trailofblood]

[smiles a bit]

That's fine by me.

[trailofblood]

An' in case ya ask, no, I'm not gonna stop callin' ya spikey.

[featherduster]

What? Even if I grew my hair to my knees and it was never spikey again?
