[Crouches down so they are eye level]

Bothered by my actions?

[puzzlers]

Not at all. Why would they bother me? I'm just happy he's happy. You've been his rival since the beginning, Intensity, and it's nice getting to see you more open about these things.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

When was I not open about being his rival?

[puzzlers]

I don't recall seeing you make out with him on the duel field.

Should I have put more emphasis on the world rival?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

Ah. I see. I should have suspected as much.

[puzzlers]

...What?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Now now. If you're going to be cryptic, I can play that same game.

[puzzlers]

But I wasn't even trying to be cryptic.

All I meant is you guys seemed to go from rivals to rivals, and I'm happy for you. [ why can't i just be happy for you! ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

There's no difference between rivals and rivals. If he throws down an impossible challenge, I'm going to answer the call. That's how it works.

[puzzlers]

[ he's not going to bother attempting to explain what he means. intensity and feelings/emotions is already a minefield, so it's whatever. as long as he's happy that's the most important thing. ]

At least I got to see you tie the knot, so to speak, this time around. [ since he heard all about the wedding game. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

You have a thing for ceremonies, don't you?

[puzzlers]

Something like that.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh how rude of me. Did I beat you to this one?

[puzzlers]

Not in the slightest.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yeah. Figured.

Well to you have anything of value to add outside of halfhearted platitudes or are you just here for the entertainment?

[puzzlers]

It's not like it had been a race.

[ bites back a sigh. halfhearted, huh... guess he shouldn't be surprised intensity thinks he's not being genuine. ]

I'll just leave you two to your honeymoon.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What a dismissive thing for the person to come in first to say.

[Makes a hand motion]

Right right. I'll bring him back before curfew.

[puzzlers]

[ this time he does openly sigh. ]

It doesn't matter what I say to you, apparently.
It's apparently all just disingenuous.

He doesn't have a curfew, Intensity.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

How genuine a person is shows through their actions, not their words.

And it's no coincidence that you and I have been politely avoiding each other ever since the House. Seems a strange time to break that unspoken truce. Unless you have ulterior motives.

[puzzlers]

It was hard to ignore this being that you'd decided to do it here, of all places. Not to mention it involved my other half, so I wasn't about to keep on walking by without seeing what was going on. I like seeing him happy, Intensity, and that's the long and short of it. I have no ulterior motive, but you can believe whatever you like. I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise anymore.

[ he'll catch up with king later. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Still sounds you're claiming territory, but wow. You sure told me.

I'll be sure to carefully examine the error of my ways.

[puzzlers]

[ he just gives him a bright smile before waving him off. ]
