"This is Mikleo. I'll get back to you when I can."

I'm not sure I'd feel right about lying to him if I see him.

[Remember how you're dealing with the purehearted losers here, Zaveid.]

Then tell him. I'm not really keeping it a secret, Mikleo.

[...Well, at least there's no pressure to follow through.]

I might not see him anyway. We've landed on a new planet, so we've been separated for the most part.

[Maybe he could just... not go looking for Dezel until the shuffle happens. That's not really lying.]

He'll probably find me first. He's like that.

[ Since they're both wind and all. It's natural. ]

What's the deal with you two, anyway? Why's he dislike you so much?

[It's true that they'd clashed enough times for a grudge to form, probably, but Dezel's vitriol had been so much more emphatic than the rest of them. Like it was personal.]

Mikleo, Mikleo. The confusing jealousies between men eludes you again!

I feel like this is going to be another one of those things I'm better off not understanding.

It takes years of hard work and dedication to truly understand the nature of men!

Aren't you afraid of coming across as a little sexist?

[He's pretty sure that women can have rivalries too...]

Mikleo! Did I ever say that the nature of women is any less amazing?

[Okay, fair enough.]

So how long does it take to understand the nature of women?

Centuries.

[THAT'S TOO LONG]

Is that why you never seem to understand them yourself?

Ouch! Mikleo! You know how to cut a man deep, don't you?

Just citing my observations.

This is gonna take a long time to heal...

Need a healing arte?

[Sort of fun to be on the opposite end of the teasing for once.]

Not even a healing arte could soothe this burning sting...

We've figured out how to make gels here, if that would serve you better.

[trolololol]

Now you're just hurting old Zaveid's feelings...

There's no need for melodrama. Anyway, shouldn't you be focused on more important things right now?

What could be more important than bonding with an old friend, huh?

[....]

You're just bored, aren't you.

[There's basically nothing to do on the Marsiva, he remembers, so...]

Nah, it's just fun to mess around with you.

[He suspects that the two are often connected.]

I'm sure.
