✱ O-of course I'm aware when you are messing with me!
✱ I was merely playing along. Letting you feel as if you're the one in control!
✱ Because I manipulated you into thinking as such!
(His eyes twitched, indicating that he's lying but his heavily flushed face was enough.)
(Easily decieved, Berdly thought might've offended them.)
✱ No that is not what I am implying!
✱ On the contrary you're....decent at best, not as brilliant as me of course but you are quite the human!
(Whatever that means.)
* I'm indecent?
(Hand over their chest, acting as if they were shot through the heart.)
* I didn't know I was so horrible!
(Completely misconstruing him.)
✱ Cease! It was a poor choice of words!
✱ I have no motives of indulging in something so.. So..
✱ Indecent!
(Curse his limited vocabulary, he just gave Kris more leverage to use against him. What a terrible fate for a genius like him.)
✱ Then I'll be an expert and filling holes!
✱ NO WAIT- clogging holes!
✱ Drats that's even worse-
✱ Sealing! Right! I'll be an expert at sealing holes.
(Berdly thought about what they said for a minute. The thought of being mourned is equivalent to being needed! Suddenly, his damaged pride made a full recovery!)
✱ Hmph. Then I'll simply boost my defense stats to guarantee my survival rate in the future!
✱ Not in the slightest!
✱ I swear Kristopher, your antics are going to be death of me one of these days.
(Berdly let's out a long exhausted sigh, knowing this is going to burden him for at least a week or two)
(There's a sour taste on Berdly's tongue, the aftertaste.. Of failure.)
✱ You may have bested me this *once* Kris.
✱ But this shall not happen a second time!
✱ I swear it.
(Berdly face flushed with a bit of annoyance. He was not satisfied with this result.)
