Can we aim for a level between 'roughed up' and 'dead', not inclusive? I have a worldhop arranged already.

I assume Diarmuid will absolutely refuse to have me come along, so I won't bother making the argument.

In that hypothetical situation?

I think Diarmuid'd rather he did it anyway.

[material_guy]

What about you?

[unknownrival]

I have no opinion. I just want him to know that he can't do as he pleases.

[material_guy]

S'not about protecting anyone?

[unknownrival]

That is protecting people when what he pleases is harmful.

[material_guy]

You can actually protect some people or you can throw a fit, send your servant in and see how many people get caught in the blast that he's right at the center of.

So I'm askin' you. Hypothetically. One or three?

[unknownrival]

Hypothetically. Three.

Not so hypothetically, how much do you love me, Baby?

[unknownrival]

One, I don't trust him, two, this would inevitably result in Diarmuid getting involved anyway.

[material_guy]

He can be there to cover your ass in case it goes sour, if you trust him not to snap and attack the guy for hitting you. If you don't trust him to watch that, I can be a stand in for you. Since it's an agreement he made with me, it'd be a problem if he welched... two guys you hate going at each other... it's win-win for you.

[unknownrival]

...I don't think it'll go over very well.

[material_guy]

But it'll go over better than any other choice you got.

[unknownrival]

With Diarmuid, I mean.

[material_guy]

He's loyal, inn't he?

[unknownrival]

That doesn't mean things don't bother him.

[material_guy]

You saying you don't got it in you to comfort your lover, kid?

[unknownrival]

I'd rather not push it.

[material_guy]

Either order the full kill to protect everyone, take one for the team and for yerself, or admit it's not about protecting anyone. Not even Lance and his feelings.

[unknownrival]

We'll discuss it.

[material_guy]

You can't just meekly thank me for saving your friends for you like a good boy?

[unknownrival]

No, I can't.

[material_guy]

Well, if you're smart about what I set up for you, a few other people'll be grateful at least.



Don't blow it just to spite me.

[unknownrival]

All right.

[Diarmuid will never agree to this.]
