Mhm! Perhaps it doesn't!
But, believe me! We're BUSINESS PARTNERS! It wouldn't hurt for us to know more about each other outside of this deal, hmmm?
[ It stops, turning and extending a hand. Same way as previous ]
Come ON! What's the harm in useless information being used? Hm?
Even In Causality, Can Lead To Relapse.
[ He'd rather not even risk the possibility. Falling behind since the other sped up. ]
Besides. That Knowledge Doesn't benefit You, Therefore Isn't Your Business.
My, my! And who do we have here?
;> I've heard PLENTY impressive things!
Perhaps you'd appreciate an offer, hmmm? Something to fully appreciate such talent?
HMMM.
Why, of course, darling! Wouldn't want to bring you out of a rational headspace for this deal, yes?
[ It looked back, patting him twice on the shoulder before descending faster down the stairs. ]
OOH. It would be INTERESTING to do so!
Mmmn. You obviously have!
ESPECIALLY with that.
[ It recoils. ]
. . THING.
Whatever do you see in it - I WONDER!
Not to IMPLY that your taste is . . HORRENDOUS.
I've Been In Worse Conditions.
But I Suppose, If You Worry On Your Appearances.
[ They'd follow in the descent, only some steps behind to keep distance. ]
. . SIIIGH. FINE!
I won't.
[ Descending further, it glances towards the end of a dark hallway before looking back down. ]
And it was IMPLIED you wanted the staircase to fit your more. . "PROFESSIONAL" tastes!
I Never Commented On The Staircase, You Messed With It Your Own Volition .
[ Though he didn't hold any 'responsibility' on the situations. It's not his fault! ]
Quit Acting Like You're New To How I Act .
One would expect professionalism, yes! But one may also expect someone who, I don't know - LOVES their job, to have a little fun with it?
SIGH. You just expect SO MUCH from me! Making me fix this - PERFECTLY GOOD staircase in favor of. PROFESSIONALISM -
Good .
[ So it was horrible on purpose? Interesting to note. Another to note of how it could be manipulated. Good to know what someone is able to do in their territory. ]
That's The Point, No?
One Would EXPECT Professionalism From You .
. . .
. . . . . .
:|
[ It straightens itself up. ]
You thought. But I never said I would be.
But FIIIINE. I'll be. PPPprofessional.
[ It waves its hand, manipulating tar and making the staircase look . . better than it did previously. ]
. . I. SUPPOSE.
Tch.
. . . :<
HMPH!
[ It folds its arms, turning away with a pout. ]
SUCH a KILLJOY! You won't get ANYWHERE with that attitude, you know?
[ Starting to dramatically sob as it leans back towards the pit with a hand on its forehead. Faking a fall. Dramatic ass bitch ]
YOU WOUND ME!
[ A quirk of his brow. Glancing down to the tar and then back at the other. ]
Even If You Did, It's Not Like It'd Matter.
And The Deal Would Be Off. You Wouldn't Get What You Want From Me .
Mhm~! Keep DENYING IT. I KNOW WHEN I'M RIGHT!
[ The stairs eventually lead into a massive cylinder-shaped room, descending for what felt like a skyscraper's height, stairs spiraling down along the walls. It stares down at the tar below for too long before looking back. ]
[ He'd keep their head down, watching the steps in the descent. ]
You Know Exactly That I Was Calling You Thick In A DENSE Way- You're Proving It As Well.
[ They'd rather not address the prior comment before that gets twisted as well. ]
But, Simon, dear! I know you're OLD and OUT OF TOUCH WITH MODERN SLANG, but you cannot call someone THICK without it being taken a certain way!
[ A wink. ]
Don't worry! I'm sure you meant it as such deep-down. Isn't that right?
MMMMM. PERHAPS!
Such a LOVELY magenta you just turned there, by the way~! I'll have to make more use of that in the future!
[ It starts descending the stairs. Some steps being straight pits to hell. Some steps simply creaking and occasionally cracking. ]
Holding your hand - whatever will happen when you get DISTRACTED by the GLORY OF THIS PLACE?!
I'll let go, glance away, and you'll be GONE!
[ A dramatic fake sob before it started pulling him to a staircase leading down. ]
I SIMPLY CANNOT HAVE THAT HAPPEN!
[ It started snickering, putting its other hand to its mouth as it leaned back a little. ]
THICKER, YOU SAY?
My, My! Such a flirt~
But I could tell you were that from those . . private messages~!
[ It squeezed his hand tighter. ]
And it is a NECESSITY!
. . .
You Know You Don't Need To Hold My Hand The Whole Way.
[ A scoff, tilting his head away since the other is completely in their personal space. ]
But, Yes. Tar Is Thicker, And Suffocating.
[ ..There seems to be some hidden insult. ]
