There are smiles on so many faces, and it is all due to the holiday that Robin informed me about. ...I suppose I am in need of a costume.

I thought to merely observe, but the enthusiasm in the air is rather captivating, and I hear there is to be a celebration in the square. I think that if we are to learn the most we can of other cultures, then

You could always go as a girl and see if anyone is fooled.

[cooperating]

If that is supposed to be a joke, I am not laughing.

[so_very_greedy]

No, no, it'd be great! I even did some concept art for it

Pretty sweet, eh?

[cooperating]

Words cannot describe how you disgust me. I think I will go with a different idea, Greed. My thanks for your input.

[so_very_greedy]

Now, now, I'm sensin' some anger in those words. Stop bein' so damned negative.

[cooperating]

The fault does not lie with me if you are sensing something. I said nothing out of line--merely that I will not be dressing up as a girl.

I should hope you will respect my decision, and be on your way.

[so_very_greedy]

Man, you're just like Ion. Stuck-up brat.

[cooperating]

Because I will not wear a dress, you feel the need to offer up insults?

How very gentlemanly of you.

[so_very_greedy]

I insult you because you use thinly veiled sarcasm on me and call it being polite.

[cooperating]

I do my best to use polite words with you, Greed, despite my less than amiable feelings towards you. That is called having manners. Do look it up.

[so_very_greedy]

Using sarcasm with polite words is STILL being condescendin' and rude, ya' little brat. Try doin' that with someone else and see if it flies.

[cooperating]

Nobody else has warranted this attitude from me, because everyone else I speak to here seems to understand how to carry on a polite conversation without acting like a degenerate.

Please forgive me for interrupting, but I am afraid that I require your assistance, Lord Larsa, on a matter that should not be delayed.

[cooperating]

On a...what? If this is about shopping, can it not wait?

[mostloyalknight]

Never mind, my lord. Please forgive my intrusion, I will ask again at a more convenient time.

[cooperating]

...I am sorry, Basch. I did not mean to snap.

What is it you wish to ask?
