[anyway

here we are at the cursed moat. for some reason. She blinks when she sees him there, and--]

... Sieghart? Er... you okay?

[ercnerd]

[For some reason, a frog ribbits in the distance.

Sieghart lifts his head and cranes his neck in Adora's direction. Now that it's later in the day, he's had time to cool off and set aside most of his anger. She won't be receiving his wrath tonight.]

So you're the best friend. Yeah, that makes sense.

[superjock]

... I'm the what now?

[why does this always happen with him]

[ercnerd]

[He's Light Hope's twin: Dark Despair.]

It's not important.

Anyway, why do you ask? If it's about the cuts, they're healing.

[superjock]

... No. I mean, I'm glad those are healing too but mostly I meant, uh. More... emotionally?

[ercnerd]

Are you actually worried about me?

Don't be. I know how to take care of myself.

[superjock]

Is it bad to be worried, even about people who can take care of themselves?

[ercnerd]

It's an adult's job to worry about the kids. You're better off spending that energy elsewhere.

[superjock]

[..........?]

But I'm an adult too.

[ercnerd]

You're a kid to me.

[superjock]

... How old are you again?

[ercnerd]

I'm older than you. Now let's leave it at that and talk about something more interesting.

[superjock]

Okay, fine. What do you want to talk about?

[ercnerd]

Have you eaten?

[superjock]

Uh, well.

[Her stomach growls as if on cue.]

Nnnnot... lately...?

[ercnerd]

You need to eat, no matter how busy you are. Come on—let's grab a bite of something good.

[superjock]

... Well. Okay.

[...]

Youuuu're being strangely nice.

[ercnerd]

Am I?

[He walks past, expecting that she'll follow.]

I've always been this way.

[superjock]

Thaaat is definitely not the case.

You were being a pain in the butt last time we talked.

[ercnerd]

That's how I always am, too.

[superjock]

... Why?

[ercnerd]

Accusing someone of stealing my pudding was part of my extra credit assignment. I just decided to have some fun with it.

[superjock]

[she closes her eyes]

I... I really should've figured it was something like that. But also I just thought you were really weird.

[ercnerd]

That's because you were innocent of the crime I was accusing you of.

[superjock]

[She considers that for a moment.]

You, sir, are a very good actor.
