That new arena is pretty cool. Some of the fights reminded me of the ones in the Celestial Tower- minus prize money, of course, which is not so cool.

It's too bad we can't travel outside the City...I'm used to traveling, so I'm kind of restless, even with the police job.

And still no Gon. You better not be having too much fun without me.Hey,

[misterblackbird]

Haven't you any subtlety about these things?

[inurfais]

No.

[misterblackbird]

Clearly, you haven't. And since turnabout is fair play, I haven't any chocolate to give you.

[inurfais]

Or you have it, and you don't want to hand it over.

[misterblackbird]

Actually, I haven't any chocolate at all. I'm not really one for sweets, you see, so there's no reason for me to keep any lying about.

[inurfais]

But you know I like them.

[misterblackbird]

And I'm to jump to the logical conclusion that because you like sweets, and we are acquainted with one another, and you've made me aware that you like sweets, that I ought to keep some for you? As though I'm your cook or your servant?

[inurfais]

That's about right, yeah. Except I don't think of you as a cook or a servant.

[misterblackbird]

At least you're not entirely confused about things.

[inurfais]

Entirely?

[misterblackbird]

Yes, you've proven you at least understand some of how the world works. Now as for the rest, I'm not sure there's any hope for you.

[inurfais]

Elaborate.

[misterblackbird]

You still expect me to provide you with chocolate, for some unknown reason.

[inurfais]

I expect you to because you will, Cain.

[misterblackbird]

And now you're willing me to do it? How very unexpected.

[inurfais]

I'd rather be unexpected than predictable.
