Best friend of 13 years, yes. I would say that's close.

[ squints. ]

I'm assuming there was an insult in there in that case.

[concasse]

Nah.

[Bluntly:]

I'd say those to your face.

[fabrefactions]

I see.

[ Fair enough.

... Although. ]

But now I'm even more curious what you said, if it wasn't an insult.

[concasse]

[... Shit.

Dig that hole deeper, why don't ya]

It's not a big deal, don't worry about it.

Something I can't have getting back to Baren, is all.

[fabrefactions]

[ here, have a shovel. ]

... So it's something embarrassing you don't want a friend to know?

[concasse]

Just this specific friend.

Trust me, he'd find out... bastard always seems to.

HECK

[fabrefactions]

If he's just going to find out anyway, then why am I having to make deals and promises...?

[concasse]

'Cause I gotta take my victories where I can get 'em.

[A pause]

And at least if you swear to secrecy, that marks out you and Haru as potential leaks. I'd have no one to blame but myself in the end.

[fabrefactions]

I wouldn't worry, I didn't record the conversation and unless Haru is psychically listening right now, she won't hear it.

[concasse]

... So I spent five minutes trying to convince you not to share something you couldn't share in the first shitty place?

[fabrefactions]

You didn't ask. Why would you assume I was recording this?

[concasse]

Shit, I don't know -- to translate what I said later?

[fabrefactions]

I have coursework to finish. I doubt it was interesting enough to keep me from that.

[concasse]

[Sanji is riveting, asshole! Also putting him lower than coursework, that cuts.]

Fine, don't lemme keep you from it.

[IS HE POUTING?]

[fabrefactions]

[ Calling you out in 3... 2... 1... ]

... Are you sulking?

[ Because you sound grumpy. ]

[concasse]

[CAN YOU JUST LET HIM HAVE THIS?]

The hell I am!

Anyway, I got homework too.

[SANJI YOU NEVER GO TO CLASS?]

[fabrefactions]

[ I thought every day was Make Sanji Suffer day? ]

I see.

Then I shall leave you to get on with your homework.

[ What a good student. ]

[concasse]

Yeah, yeah.

[TIME TO GO BE BORED AGAIN]

Later, Intello.

[SO CLOSE, SANJI... So close.]

[fabrefactions]

Now that I am telling Haru about.

[ (◡‿◡✿) (ʘ‿ʘ✿)]

[concasse]

-- Wait wait wait I didn't even mean it as an insult!!

[fabrefactions]

It's not exactly a term of endearment either.

[ Hey look, he waited. ]

[concasse]

Alright, speaking in my defense?

The French have got some weird names for people they like.

[fabrefactions]

[ > doubt. ]

Oh?

[concasse]

Mon canard -- means "My duck."

[HE IS NOT KIDDING FOR ONCE IN HIS LIFE]

Then there's mon petit chou, which is roughly "my little cabbage". [That one's actually a little trickier, the phrase means "my favorite one", but "chou" is the word for cabbage, FRANCE IS WEIRD.]

[fabrefactions]

[ OKAY FRANCE. ]

Really? ...

... why cabbage? A duck I can perhaps understand-- [ He's heard people call their partner or a close, fond friend "ducky" before, but... ] -- but what's endearing about vegetables?
