[ a long exhale of cigarette smoke ]

I'm the Deputy Chief.

[mimickedly]

Oh! Oh, okay!!!

So you're job is really important, ne! Are you the most important?

[ardeinae]

Important, yeah, but can't say about most important.

[ardeinae]

And that, kid, is called 'modesty.'

[mimickedly]

Uwaaahh!! That makes you seem even cooler though, even if you're not the most important!!

Nene, you do modesty very well, hee~

[ardeinae]

Just doing my job. Which you sound a bit too interested in. What, you dreaming of being a cop when you grow up, kid?

[mimickedly]

Ohh, sorrryyyy. I didn't mean to come off like that, neee.

I dunno, maybe! I'm still deciding!!!

[ardeinae]

Haha, well -- think about it, then, kid.

[mimickedly]

I will, I will!!!

What's your name, ne?

[ardeinae]

Vargret. Or you can just call me Officer Var. Whatever floats your boat.

[mimickedly]

Officer Var-san!! It's nice to meet you then!!

[ardeinae]

Yeah, nice to meet you too, kid -- got a name?
