I wouldn't say you're not a gem. I've not seen the fullness of your anatomy, after all.

I—first you invite me to drinks, and now this? It's enough to give a girl ideas, Lancer.

I can only speak my truth, lass. And I can't say for certain if you are, or are not, a gem.

I'm pretty sure I'm not. And I think if I say that you're welcome to investigate for yourself, at least one of us is gonna regret it.

And why would you say something like that, hm?

You are trying to kill me, Lancer.

I can think of quite a few more efficient ways of doing so than embarrassing you, lass.

Yeah, and you're good at all of them. Can this at least happen where my roommate can't find me and use all of this against me later?

Use against you? Do you really think so little of her?

Our apartment is full of traps and has a bunch of... robot friends inside it. I wouldn't be surprised if I woke up tomorrow and had to start dodging makeshift lances.

Oh she's a machinest, is she?

Well, I didn't mention any lances. A shame you did, for me.

Yeah, who could've guessed that someone named Lancer uses lances. Next you'll be telling me Archers use bows or Riders ride things.

Aye, but I never said I tried to kill you with one.

In fact, I haven't. So I'll be interested in your roomate's results.

I don't think she'll really try. Not after all the stuff I'm telling her about cornered animals in life-or-death situations.

Let's hope so. I aimed to take you out, again, after all.

[it takes her a second of silence to realize Lancer isn't talking about, like, taking her out lethally.]

Really...? [and then she's back.] What, didn't get enough of watching me be bad at drinking?

What can I say? You're a very interesting person. I like interesting people.

Better than being boring, I guess.

Okay, Lancer. You're on. Maybe Jill can tell me where to find another good bar around here... unless she just started working at the one you took me to.

Oh? You know her?

We've met. She was telling me about how ridiculous prices are back where she lives. Ten thousand a month for a crappy studio apartment? That's unbelievable.

Economics are prone to human folly. [ A verbal shrug. ]

Moreover, I happen to know her, as well. [ In more ways than one. ]

Oh, really? I don't know a lot about her yet. Is she also an interesting person?

To say the lease. [ A chuckle. ] She helped me out quite a bit during the mists incident. Gave me an outlet.

What kind of outlet? [ah.] All I could think about was screaming and fighting things and there was definitely no shortage of things to fight.

The sort of outlet that's not very polite to mention in public.
