Ninth Sting [audio]

[first_sting]

[Fiddling with his D-Comm, Charmy's bored it seems since it's clicked on.] ... Hey Saff, can I ask you something?

Well you already did, but what's up?

How long have me an' Espio been here? In the digital world I mean, I don't really keep track of that kinda stuff yanno.

[A moment's pause, and one can hear the Alraumon counting to herself.

... You're only ten.

That explains a lot.

[first_sting]

Well I was six the last time I checked!

... and it does not explain anything.

[halfboiledjoker]

It explains the way you act, actually.

[first_sting]

What? It does not!

[halfboiledjoker]

[He can't help but chuckle at that.]

Whatever you say Charmy.

[first_sting]

Of course I say, Sho... Sho... Of course! [Huffs.]

One of our associates is eight years old.

He builds complex machinery and can recreate a power source that could power a moon destroying weapon.

Age is nothing more than a mere fact where we come from.

[halfboiledjoker]

I never said Charmy wasn't good at what he does.

[ninjastarsfly2]

Just pointing out a trend.

... In a way, though, the three of us tended to compliment one another. You could say that, together, the three of us were one detective.

[halfboiledjoker]

I know that feeling quite well, Espio. It's the same for me and Philip.

[first_sting]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeespio!

... this means you're twenty now. You're like... Vector old.

[ninjastarsfly2]

.. You do realize Vector is still older, right?

[first_sting]

Well, yeah. I'm not dumb yanno. But you're like, an adult...

[oh no, he made himself sad now.]

[ninjastarsfly2]

I was already an adult!

[first_sting]

I mean by like, human standards and stuff.

[ninjastarsfly2]

... and?
