[ There's a small list of agreements written neatly and legibly:

Neither Tyr nor Rita will take their bets seriously. Both parties reserve the right to be sore los call off the bet at any time.

Rita will only feed Tyr meat when he is a dog any carnivorous animal.

Tyr will not steal Rita's underwear while cursed. He will replace any that he takes!!

Rita will bathe at least three times a week.

Tyr will make sweets at least three times a week.

Rita will

And the pencil is just laying there when Tyr finally talks: ]

--Forget it! We'll never get this sent off at this rate.

[Rita's voice grumbles in response as she slams a hand against the page.]

Of course we won't if you keep making up dumb stuff like this--you're just scared you'll lose another bet, aren't you?!

[And now she jostles the device, which she had turned on.]

I bet everyone else in the City agrees with me!

[ And that just makes Tyr's face go red as he shoots back: ]

And making candy isn't pointless?! Go ahead and ask if you're actually that sure--And make a bet out of it!

Sh-shut up! --Fine, just get ready to lose!

[Well, City, what do you think? >:|b]

[mortemscintilla]

But you're going to give yourself wrinkles if you keep up.

[negativegate]

L-like that's any of your business!

--Besides, people don't age here at all, you know!

[mortemscintilla]

Really? [ Curiouser and curiouser. ] How old are you, Miss Rita?

[negativegate]

I'm eighteen.

[Stuck as a fifteen-year-old for the past 2 and a half years or so.]

[mortemscintilla]

Eighteen? [ But you look so Loli! ] You seem awfully young for an eighteen year old.

[negativegate]

[Forever loli in the City. ._.]

Were you listening? I just told you people don't age here, didn't I?

[mortemscintilla]

[ He has nothing against Lolis. Nothing at all. ]

That's right, you did. [ An awkward smile. ] Do you get carded in bars often?

[negativegate]

[Does that mean he's all for them instead?!]

Huh? Do I get what?

[Can you guess who's never tried going to a bar...]

[mortemscintilla]

[ Kinda. Sorta. Maybe. Yes. ]

...You've never been to a bar, Miss Rita?

[ For shame. Hei's on his way to alcoholism in-canon. ]

[negativegate]

[sob Li why]

S-so what if I haven't? It's not like there's anything special about them!

[Drunk assassin...]

[mortemscintilla]

[ s-sister complex ]

...Well, you're right about that. There isn't much. Teenagers just visit them to accrue 'experience' and say they did something 'grown-up.'

[ His fan-nickname in Season 2 is Hobo-Hei ;; ]

[negativegate]

[soooob]

Hmph! Now that just sounds stupid. Who wastes their time proving to themselves that they're grown-up? I already know that I am!

[IF RITA EVER FINDS OUT SHE'S GONNA CALL HIM THAT]

[mortemscintilla]

That's right. You are.

...Even if you don't look it.

[ ...Hobo-Hei doesn't use his Li-persona. He's just a vicious bastard ;; ]

[negativegate]

[...LIIII X(]

Well, excuse me for still looking like a teenager!

[All the more reason to call him names-!!]

[mortemscintilla]

I meant it as a compliment!

[ ...until he lashes out ;; ... ]

[negativegate]

That's a weird way to compliment someone.

[S-sob, until then.]

[mortemscintilla]

[ Dawww. ]

Don't frown so, Miss Rita.

You're much prettier when you're smiling.

[negativegate]

That's funny. I don't think I've ever smiled around you.

[/deadpans]

[mortemscintilla]

[ His smile is unwavering. ]

Sure you have. When we first spoke and you were cursed to [ with pick-up lines ] to talk about aerflow, remember?

[negativegate]

I-

[Oh, redface again. She had finally forgotten about it!!]

Why do you still remember?!

[mortemscintilla]

[ The epitome of innocence. ]

Well, it would've been rude to forget.

[ Not to mention against his training. ]

You did give me your name and everything.

[negativegate]

[And she totally believes it...]

And bringing it up is supposed to be polite?!

[mortemscintilla]

[ Li. Oh Li. You are making everything worse. ]

Should I ... just stop talking?

[negativegate]

[Li why :(]

...How about thinking before you talk, first?

[mortemscintilla]

I'm not so good at that.

I think that's what gets me in trouble.

[ Gee, Li. Ya think? ]
