Take Initiative.

[trustharder]

It seems things have been resolved - peacefully, if more than a little awkwardly for most parties involved. However, there's still work to do here, isn't there? Ryuunosuke shrugs after a long moment; tips his head up a bit. "Hey, Glory? Let everyone up." And apparently that's all it takes, though what that actually does isn't something that happens all at once - rather, panels slide out from the wall, forming a staircase up to that balcony they've been standing on. Mettaton doesn't really wait for the others to join them; he just leaves back through that section of wall they entered from, calling something back over his shoulder. "We've got another room to work from back here, darlings, this shouldn't take too long to work out." >Follow?

That's why he's my brother, shortcake.

[... shortcake is a new one.]

Why else do you think we get along so well? And we only had a week together before you two went at it! Imagine if I ended up dying too!

[imagine. there'd be two of them.]

[paidinblood]

Caren would lose her mind.

[And maybe Sigrun wouldn't have such poor taste in boyfriends. ...Who is he god damn kidding, Zagi's into someone that killed him, he's not doing any better here.]

[captainobnoxious]

She and I get along very well now, thank you. She's got complete faith in me. And said that I was right to lead the way I did. She's a good girl, I love her.

[... But chances are she would've driven Caren insane sometimes, yeah. If only because it'd be hilarious to poke fun at her when Zagi did too.]

Did you two get to be friends?

[paidinblood]

...She's optimistic.

[Somehow, he manages to make it sound like that's a bad thing.]

I don't know if I'd call us friends [because I have an enormous stick up my ass,] but we get along.

[captainobnoxious]

[Kamui, darling... don't steal Caren's gig of being a tsundere...]

Then you're friends enough, honey. Just like you and me!

[paidinblood]

[...Look friend is a strong word, he doesn't like- oh hold the fuck up.]

What makes you think I'd even want to be your friend?

[captainobnoxious]

You don't want to. You are.

[Says her.]

[paidinblood]

...Did you decide this the same way you decided I'm going to truth or dare?

[Ditch your boyfriend then we'll talk]

[captainobnoxious]

Yes.

[Like you have any room to talk about taste.]

[paidinblood]

Then there's no reasoning with you.

[My boyfriend didn't kidnap me and endanger my brother

...I mean Zagi has no taste, but-]

[captainobnoxious]

[It's Zagi though.]

Glad we agree! And you're not getting rid of me anyway, my brother's gonna wanna spend what time he can when you two aren't going around the different worlds killing things. You and me are practically family!

[paidinblood]

[...Of course he is.]

I don't care what you call me. Nicknames, your friend, it doesn't make a difference to me.

But don't call me family. Family's more meaningful than that. We're hardly above strangers.

[captainobnoxious]

That's a fair point! It just means that I'll look forward to the day when I can call you it, honey. Really. You're a good person and I like you well enough.

... And thanks for taking care of that nut, too, even though I'm sure it wasn't much of a chore. Things are just like that sometime, you know?

[paidinblood]

[Okay, if Sigrun wasn't crazy for not murdering her boyfriend, she's definitely crazy now.]

...I didn't really take care of him. We just spent time together. Mostly by fighting.

[captainobnoxious]

[You don't understand, Kamui. Her selfish reasons are good enough.]

Do you really think there's any other way to take care of a maniac like that?

[paidinblood]

That's my maniac you're talking about.

[Sigrun's got a point.]

[captainobnoxious]

[Of course she does.]

Oooh, so you two really are that close, aren't you? When I heard you were fight-flirting and after talking to my brother himself I thought something like that might be the case! When'd you figure it out?

[please be after her. she only really realized she loved mettaton after he died and that was such a While]
