I'm sure Sorey and Lailah would agree if you asked them.

[Dezel, probably not. He might just grumble awkwardly about it and never give a proper answer.]

[airily]

Nah. They'd just laugh and go 'Zaveid? Old Zaveid? No way!' and get back to work.

[ Totally, right? ]

[nerdeology]

I'm not so sure. Shall we ask them?

[Yeah, not quite totally.]

[airily]

... Nah, no reason to bother them with somethin' dumb like this!

[ Stop, Mikleo, buddy, bro... ]

[nerdeology]

I feel like it's something they'd find really important, though. You know how they are.

[airily]

[ He tsks. ]

Yeah, I know. They'd come over and tell me in person if they thought I wanted it.

[nerdeology]

Well, you often keep us guessing. You're not very forthright about what you do want.

[He's not really teasing, now. He's not just a softie at heart- for all his boisterousness behaviour, Zaveid can be surprisingly selfless, too. Mikleo hadn't really noticed it before, but after everything that happened, and after everything Zaveid had done for the both of them, probably at great cost to himself... yeah, you can't really unsee it after that.]

[airily]

Sure I am. I told you exactly why I became a Sub Lord.

[ To stop Maotelus. But he shrugs, turning his attention away for a moment. He doesn't think he's selfless, he just thinks... He tries to do the right thing. ]

[nerdeology]

After fighting with us repeatedly and dodging almost all of our questions, you mean.

[That can't be the only thing he wants, either.]

[airily]

Well, jeez, I wasn't just gonna tell you everything when I didn't know any of you!

[nerdeology]

I don't see why chasing after Maotelus had to be a big secret, though! We'd been searching for him for ages before you joined us.

[airily]

I got a reason for everything, thanks.

[ Not really. ]

[nerdeology]

[ s i g h ]

Anyway, I'm just saying, it's good of you to take care of this new girl.

[....wait]

How old is she?

[airily]

[ Zaveid blinks. ]

... I dunno. I didn't ask.

[nerdeology]

I hope your motivations are pure.

[Don't go seducing women who've only just arrived in a strange place!]

[airily]

Hey! The last time a new person arrived on my ship she was creepin' around spying on people! I was trying to be nice!

[ And he has no interest in the new girl, really, thanks, bro. ]

[nerdeology]

Don't look at me like that, your first act any time you meet a woman is to flirt with her!

[airily]

Not if they're lookin' for help!

[nerdeology]

Alright, alright.

[He's not here to pick a fight, and he didn't actually expect Zaveid to be so vehement about it. Colour him surprised.]

[airily]

[ Zaveid just grins, relaxing again. ]

That's more like it.
