[huaaaaagh]

[Wow, now he's really glad he called her.]

Maybe we should make this a regular thing. At the very least, if you ever want to go somewhere and just hang out, don't hesitate to call.

[He's pathetic enough that chances are he'll be free, anyway.]

[experiencepoints]

[she is an awkward nerd who made three friends in her entire life, so... equally pathetic and terrible at socialization.]

I wouldn't mind. Same to you, just give me a call if you're ever bored. Besides, don't we still have a bet to finish eventually?

[huaaaaagh]

[Separate they suck, together slightly less so. Friendship stat boost!]

...I should have known you wouldn't forget about that.

[experiencepoints]

Hey, if you're nice I won't take pictures.

[huaaaaagh]

You were going to take pictures!?

[experiencepoints]

I was thinking about it.

[huaaaaagh]

Wh-what for?

[Bad things happen when girls have weird pictures of him, okay.]

[experiencepoints]

Oh, I don't know.

But if that girlfriend of yours ever shows up, I'm sure she'd have ideas.

[huaaaaagh]

[.......

THOSE ARE SOME HIGH STAKES FOR THIS BET]

You wouldn't.

[experiencepoints]

[She manages to hold a straight face for just a few seconds, before it finally cracks, and she starts giggling.]

No, I wouldn't, but your face was priceless.

[huaaaaagh]

[YOU

ARE A BAD PERSON]

I thought I was gonna have a heart attack.

[experiencepoints]

[Her best friend growing up was a cat, Kirito. Did you not think she was going to be at least a little bit of a jerk?]

I'm sure Cure could fix that if you did.

[huaaaaagh]

[Honestly he should be used to girls one-upping him by now, it's like a daily occurrence back home.]

Maybe, but it doesn't sound much fun. ...Can we add "no pictures" to the bet as a side rule?

[experiencepoints]

I guess I've got no choice.

[... she sounds not at all displeased. In fact, she sounds positively happy about that.]

[huaaaaagh]

[This may backfire if he wins the bet, but he feels like he dodged a bullet regardless.]

Want to go back there once we finish? You didn't get your shoes.

[experiencepoints]

I don't mind, but... Are you sure you want to come with me? You didn't seem to like the place much.

[huaaaaagh]

It's... not that I didn't like it. I just don't know much about shoes. The most I ever buy is sneakers.

[experiencepoints]

I'm glad to have helped there.

[cute combat boots are helping.]

[huaaaaagh]

[Hey, they have good stats. Totally helping.]

Maybe someday I'll actually manage to return the favour. It just won't be shoe-related.

[experiencepoints]

If you can find me a better staff than the one I have, we'll call the favor returned and then some.

[huaaaaagh]

My experience with magic is so lacking, I'm not sure I'd recognize a good staff if I saw one... but if I find any, I'll let you know.

[experiencepoints]

At this point, I'll take a staff good for hitting people as well. This staff is barely good for smacking someone or magic.

[huaaaaagh]

Hey, if there's one thing I'm good for, it's finding stuff that's good for hitting people with.

[kirito no that is not a quality life skill]

[experiencepoints]

[... i mean, when you're talking to an RPG, yes it is.

She's pulling her staff out of thin air, as one does, It's... wood, with one and branching out into practically a cloud of little twig-sized... well, branches.]

You seem to be better at it than me. Or at least less desperate.

[huaaaaagh]

[He can't help staring for a moment, though he shakes it off faster than the first time. It's still so cool that she can just. Do that.]

Do you think a metal staff would be too heavy for you to wield properly?
