No. Not last round, and not this round.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Maybe they're sitting this one out.

[asonoficeandfire]

I'll notice. Intensity would... probably try to play the game.

[...and Matcha just challenged me um]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[UM.]

What? Dude, no.

[asonoficeandfire]

It's how he is.

[crossmyheartandhope]

No, I mean - this guy! You're really just gonna throw down?

[asonoficeandfire]

I don't know if he'll leave us alone.

[crossmyheartandhope]

So we back out one way, he backs out the other. He says he's just playing to survive.

[asonoficeandfire]

Of course, I'm not going to fight him if he has no intention of killing anyone.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, but like - ?

[But you guys are going into a fight stance??]

[asonoficeandfire]

[actually he's just. trying to talk him down from it right now]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Okay cool. How's that going?]

[asonoficeandfire]

[IT ACTUALLY WORKED.

I have a scheduled sparring session now though]

He agreed not to.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude! Nice diplomacy roll.

[asonoficeandfire]

I didn't expect him to say yes. But I'm grateful he did.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...yeah. Me, too.

[asonoficeandfire]

I promised to spar with him outside of the game.

[crossmyheartandhope]

What kinda stakes we talking?

[asonoficeandfire]

I said I'd gladly give him a fight outside the game, without the requirement of murder, if he wanted one.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Relaxes a little.]

...okay. Okay, cool.

[asonoficeandfire]

What's the matter?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Nothing. Best way it coulda gone, I guess.

Just... be careful, kay? When you throw down.

[asonoficeandfire]

Aah, I will be.
