To even show up here, I guess everyone had to be stubborn in their own way.

[ she is being nice and not pointing out that greed himself is very stubborn. ]

Stubbornness isn't necessarily bad. [a weak defense because he's very aware.] It's the issue of not listening when things have already been told.

Well, everyone's hearing different things, it sounded like, when we had that meeting.

[ hilarious. ]

Is that because, perhaps, you're all asking different questions?

[tiredly.]

Don't look at me, I get my information from you or Takeru.

[ her trusted? sources? ]

And Sasazuka usually hears it from me or Gluttony, I think, so I suppose that's a loop I trust enough.

See? It works out. [ there's a beat ] Though Mahito seems to think we're heading ... somewhere?

[ does this space station have a destination. ]

...where the hell did he get that?

[WHY IS MAHITO MAHITOSON THE MOST EXHAUSTING PERSON.]

Don't worry, I set him straight. I think he was only halfway listening to all the stuff shared at the info meeting.

That hardly surprises me. I can only get him to halfway listen to me when I'm talking to him directly.

We can't all be as obedient as Maus. [ who's a good boy. who!!! it's maus!!! who is getting ALL THE PETS ]

Do you suppose he would benefit from obedience classes? That could be arranged.

Do you really think they'd work on him?

...it could be an interesting theory to test. I hadn't thought of it before, but he does seem to do best when you bribe him.

I don't think he'll be as easy to bribe as Maus, though.

Perhaps not. I've been giving him books to keep himself occupied, but he reads so fast I'll have to recommend new ones soon.

[ the flea can READ ]

It's too bad you can't use dog treat for him too instead.

I haven't actually tried. [and the tone says now he's considering it? bad.]

You should. Even if he doesn't take the bait, he probably won't be offended, so there's no downside!

I'll keep that in mind, thank you. [horrible. but also? hilarious.]

Please tell me what happens when you do it.

[ for the hilarity ]

You'll be the first to know.

Great.

[ beams, but then her smile turns a little hesitant as she goes back to petting maus ]

... I'm glad you're okay, Greed.

[ she's also glad she is ok but she would rather not talk about her near death experience so. greed's it is ]

[grace...

maus paws her hands and greed settles for a slight nod.]

That makes two of us.

[which could be interpreted that he's glad he's fine, but no, it's a two-way street. two idiots who don't want to talk about death but being glad the other is okay.]

[ some last scritches for a good boy and then grace stretches out ]

Alright! I'll let you and Maus rest for now. He looks sleepy. [ that and she's 100% sure greed is still healing. ] I'll text you if I find out anything new?

[ like say. greed fucked gluttony ]
