[trailofblood]

[you and that face]

[strikes the match and cups his hand around the flame as he lights the cigarette even though there's no wind to blow it out indoors]

What kinda quest would ya give for that, anyway?

[featherduster]

Hmm...

Well, I couldn't exactly send you out in search of a date this time.

[trailofblood]

Ya could, but I might just ask you again.

[featherduster]

Doing it for a quest doesn't sound particularly appealing anymore.

[ Dead serious, actually?? ]

[trailofblood]

[gay]

What's that s'posed to mean? It's not like we're not doin' that now anyway.

[featherduster]

Yeah, but not because we have to, or we're trying to get an item out of it, or something.

[trailofblood]

Well, that's true.

Not that I'd mind gettin' somethin' extra out of it.

[featherduster]

[ Wow

Maybe he should just toss you out ]

[trailofblood]

Don't give me that look. Just sayin', it'd be an easy quest.

[featherduster]

Too bad that's not what I'd give you, even if you didn't swear off my quests.

[trailofblood]

What would ya give me? Out of curiosity.

[featherduster]

Make you compliment everybody you see for two whole days, maybe.

[ Maybe that would help teach you to be less of an asshole??? Who knows ]

[trailofblood]

Would it still count if I insulted 'em right after?

[this is important since he'd be seeing you too]

[featherduster]

... No.

[trailofblood]

Yeah, I think I'll stick to questin' from someone else.

[featherduster]

[ WEAK. ]

That's what I figured you'd say.

[trailofblood]

Hope you're not jealous. S'just business.

[featherduster]

[ Deadpanned, ]

I'm terribly jealous. I don't think I'll ever get over it.

[trailofblood]

Don't worry. It's a hard sacrifice, but I'll still date ya even if you're not givin' me cigarettes for it.

[featherduster]

...

That actually is kinda flattering, coming from you.

[trailofblood]

. . . In case you forgot, I'm the one who asked ya on this date.

[featherduster]

Yeah, but how do I know you don't have any ulterior tobacco motives?

[trailofblood]

Well, now that ya mention it I am gettin' low. . .

[featherduster]

Exactly my point...

[trailofblood]

[takes out the one he's smoking to gesture at vash with it]

Maybe you should just take up smokin', then we could share.

[translation: he could steal yours]
