[There’s room for seven in this weather-worn hut, with seven chairs around a table long enough for seven people.

The center of the table is adorned with wooden jugs of water and wooden snack bowls. It’s primarily fruits and nuts, although there are a couple brimming with Unidentified Raw Meat.]

Playing might help us win, though. So, you could play without him forcing you to play.

[experiencepoints]

I don't really care about that.

[pchaaair]

Why not?

[experiencepoints]

Forget it. I'm playing anyway.

[pchaaair]

Okay.

... Nightingale, I really want to get to know you better, but, it's hard, since you kind of brush everything off, and I kind of worry that it won't happen, ever.

[experiencepoints]

... You shouldn't.

[pchaaair]

Shouldn't... worry?

[experiencepoints]

Shouldn't worry, shouldn't want to.

[pchaaair]

Well, I do, and I am going to worry. Since, you're my teammate. And, I do like you.

[experiencepoints]

...

Why?

[pchaaair]

Because... I do?? Um. I mean, I do get frustrated, and kind of mad, but, I do like you.

[experiencepoints]

[...

??????]

[pchaaair]

... What?

[experiencepoints]

[DOES NOT COMPUTE]

... It's nothing.

[pchaaair]

. . .

Sorry, I said something really awkward. I can. Go away now. Or something.

[experiencepoints]

... No, it's all right.

[pchaaair]

Are you sure?

[experiencepoints]

Yeah. I just didn't expect that.

[pchaaair]

Okay...

Why did you not expect it?

[experiencepoints]

I'm not exactly a likable person.

[pchaaair]

I remember people, that actually deserve to be disliked, though. You don't actually match up with them.

[experiencepoints]

You do?

[pchaaair]

Yeah, I do.

[experiencepoints]

That's a pity.

[pchaaair]

But, that is why I also do not think you are as unlikeable as you think you are. Because, uh, okay. I have gotten mad in the past, but, that ... doesn't mean I dislike you, like I said.
