I try to stay on his good side.

[ And the only way to do that, as far as Saheon is concerned, is to obviously telegraph that you aren’t a threat and immediately repay all debts. ]

I’d prefer if he liked me. I’d prefer if you’d like me too.

[ sir ]

[hallowedly]

( Truly, a child raised by 'relatives.' )

Saheon, you're perfectly likeable.

[inverseye]

…

[ His thoughts perks up at that. Greed. ]

Did you need anything else?

[ GREED ]

[hallowedly]

As it happens, yes. I'd like us to be friendly.

[inverseye]

[ Is that not already happening? ]

I’ve been real polite the whole time I’ve known you?

[hallowedly]

That's a different matter, isn't it? Politeness is simply modern apathy. Saying all the acceptable things, so you needn't bother with the sincere ones.

[inverseye]

So… if I said you’re still a creepy bastard?

[hallowedly]

...I suppose I'd have to grin and bear it.

[inverseye]

[ Oh well, in that case! ]

You’re almost creepier then the other bastards because at least I know what they want. You’re too smart to do something for free so stop stringing me along! Are you actually stupid?

[ Wow that felt great. And another thing: ]

I don’t like how you talk to me all polite either. Aren’t you also hiding behind modern apathy? Hypocrites are the worst.

[hallowedly]

( ...well, then. This young man certainly —

Please enjoy the seismic rippling only laughter can deliver to the Murmur. )

Hold on, hold on. Am I smart, or am I stupid?

[inverseye]

[ Don’t laugh at his sincere words, he hopes you die! Fall into a ditch and die! ]

Don’t ask me. I’ve been trying to figure that out for three months.

[hallowedly]

Let's go with 'idiot.'

[inverseye]

Somehow, I still don’t buy it…

[ But whatever. If Seishirou isn’t going to bite his head off for all that, Saheon is happy to tell him all the sincere complaints in his heart. ]

[hallowedly]

Truthfully, I don't know myself.

[inverseye]

If you waste your time on things that don’t matter you’re an idiot. If you don’t, I guess you aren’t.

[ The world according to Saheon, a great authority on the matter. ]

[hallowedly]

On things. And people?

[inverseye]

Depends on what you need? Objects are more reliable.

[ If you ask, Seishirou, this excludes the ever reliable Baek Saheon, who everyone should keep alive! ]

[hallowedly]

( A careful hum: ) I'm afraid that settles it, then. I'm an idiot, after all. The very worst. It can't be helped.

But thank you for believing in me.
