like greed, except their fur's all on end?

i'm not really sure what to ask them about half the time. greed i can throw trial related stuff at but pride just goes all tsundere and blinds me and runs off.

and now they're kissing me and leaving me on read. how did we get here, little A?

[probe]

...yeah, sort of
there are worse things than being kissed, i think
i mean going blind is pretty bad actually
really bad
hm.
maybe...jeez, this is tough
how do you talk to the rest of us?

[aubins]

it was for about 30 seconds so they could run away, but still. if they don't do that again, i'll be happy.

you and wrath i just hang out with. the others, well. i normally have a reason to approach them, so sometimes i'll speak to them a couple of times and sometimes just not at all.

i suspect offering to paint pride's claws when their current coat has worn off won't go down as well with them as is does you, wrath or sloth.

[probe]

[they ran out of texts and i miscounted but anyway, wherever yuri is, lust suddenly appears in front of him.]

I can ask them to stop doing that, but no promises. And I'm the only one who can paint their claws. [they hum a bit in thought.]

Some of us are harder to approach than others, but it's weird because you're really approachable in general.

[aubins]

[ oh hello, there she is ]

I figured. I don't really want my eyes being taken out for just trying.

Ah, it's fine. I'll figure it out. I expect they just see purple at this point and have an instinctive urge to run. [ GU YUN... MOLLY.... poor pride. ]

[probe]

You're probably not wrong. You guys are pretty...yourselves! [that's polite.]

But like I said, don't take it personal or anything.

[aubins]

Please, they are much more of a disaster zone than I am. [ are they, yuri? are they? ]

I don't. But I do want to know what happened, so I'll keep trying. [ ... ] And also ask them about something they said a few weeks back, come to think of it.

[probe]

[are they.]

I like Molly a lot. And Wrath likes Gu Yun a lot, too. [she doesn't mind gy but she doesn't know him that well.]

Trying's all we can do, so just be careful. What sort of thing were you thinking about?

[aubins]

[ oh my god i missed this. ]

They're likeable. It makes sense. [ his roomie and his unofficial roomie. he's fond of them in his own way. ]

They mentioned their old job, so to speak. I was curious about it.

[probe]

[nodding! they are both very likable this is true. but huh?]

Really? That's surprising...but as long as you approach it without being demanding, you should have some luck.

[aubins]

[ purple bastards! ]

[ looks at the later thread with pride ]

We'll see. They do like to go on about "not liking small talk". Maybe I'll just con them into watch a movie.

[probe]

Small talk is pretty hard for them, but being in the same vicinity isn't a bad start. I don't think they've seen too many movies anyway.

[aubins]

Oh, noted.

So I just need to leave a trail of breadcrumbs to get them down to watch something.

[probe]

It's worth a shot! Pick something nice and relaxing.

[aubins]

[ so die hard is out then. ]

Any suggestions?

[probe]

Maybe something whimsical with a happy ending?

[aubins]

... I probably need names, Little-A. I'd probably pick something where the dog dies, or something equally horrible, by accident.

[probe]

Ooh...yeah, okay that's true. Maybe something cute like...there's this one called My Neighbor Totoro? Or maybe a more serious one like Princess Mononoke.

[aubins]

[ he's mentally committing them to memory. ]

... Alright then. I'll give it a try.

[probe]

Good. [hehe] Let me know how that goes?

[aubins]

You have a lot of faith in me.

[probe]

Am I not supposed to?

[aubins]

You've never seen me and Pride talk, have you?

[probe]

Nope. It's not like I eavesdrop on your conversations. Why?

[aubins]

Oh you should, they get really grumpy and mad at me.
