My father. How could I have forgotten or replaced...

[Sighs heavily.]

Then it is true. I will never be half the dragoon he was. It seems I fail even at a mere attempt to follow in his footsteps.

[Pauses, realizes someone else he's been ignoring the last week or so.]

Rosa... I don't know what to say.

Oh, boooooo-hoooo~oooo~

[skyboundknight]

I wouldn't expect you to understand.

[super_sane]

I wanna say you'd be surprised, but I just can't do stoic. I tried once, in New York, but....well, she just didn't think I was all that great. And I says to her, I says, 'but Ma, just give me one more go, and I SWEAR I can do better than Papa, I swear!'

[skyboundknight]

You prove my point exactly.

[super_sane]

How judgmental!

My cover, she feels absolutely scandalized, dear sir!

[skyboundknight]

I have been- [Catches himself, stops abruptly, before continuing.] I have- known- monsters like you before. You're all the same.

[super_sane]

[Leans forward at that, whistles a low tune to himself. He's gonna be talking to you more often now, Kain~ Grin grin.]

[skyboundknight]

[A subtle hint of discomfort crosses his face. He really doesn't like that grin.]

What's your problem now?

[super_sane]

[More grinage]

Hee~

[skyboundknight]

[Annoyed glare.]

What's so amusing?

[super_sane]

[Points at you while giggling softly, Kain.]

[skyboundknight]

Why... are you laughing at me?

[super_sane]

Because, you see--[Taps your shoulder, Kainy boy]--I show, nay, proclaim my crazy with fanfare and virgins aplenty.

You? With your mean little gaze, and those lovely, yet cold and beady little eyes of yours...you keep it alll~llll~ in, don't ya? I've seen that look before, you know.

In the Bat, from time to time.

[Peers, unnecessarily squinted eyes]

You're a bit like me, aren't you? In your own way, you're just a big ol freak.

[skyboundknight]

[Doesn't like the tone or way Joker is acting right now... really, really doesn't. Stiffens as if he can block him out by being more rigid and stubborn. Is trying desperately not to fall into the mindset Golbez always instilled in him.]

I'm nothing like you...

[super_sane]

Deniaaaa~l~

[Laughs, then drops from the level]
