You guuuuuuys.

[Ahaha~ He knew you'd be so pleased! Well, probably, anyway. And even if you weren't, the reaction promised to be amusing, at least. ^_^

And Fai is not at all averse to casual physical contact, so he'll come slinking up to drape one long arm around Peter's shoulders. Because one-armed hugs totally count, right? Right~]

Quite the party, isn't it, Mister Peter Parker?

[sheriffspidey]

[As long as he doesn't get another Morgan hug, especially from anyone bigger than her, it's cool

...wait who are you again]

Quite. Helps a guy get used to his identity being widely known by strangers. [the mask kind of hides the POINTED LOOK, but. Ya know.]

[notatruesmile]

[Fai catches it all the same, though--Spidey's tone is pretty pointed, too. So he smiiiiiles and pulls him in just a li~ttle bit closer, but it's done in a teasingly confidential, not creepy, way.]

Ah, but there are no real secrets here, Mister Parker. That's just one of the many charms of this place.

[...Which is sort of BS since no-one's been going around throwing his past and "true identity" in his face, but well. That's be side the point here.]

Let's pretend I can type correctly this time of day

[sheriffspidey]

Yeah, okay, not gonna lie, that's verging a little on creepy for the guy still getting used to the real-name-basis shtick while behind the mask.

Pfft. I am the typo QUEEN at basically ANY time of day. You're fine, lol.

[notatruesmile]

[Fai doesn't bat an eye at being called creepy, and yeah, he's still got his arm around Spidey's shoulders all buddy-buddy-like. XD]

But haven't you been here longer than I have? You should be more used to it by now! And after all, what's in a name?

[/hypocritehypocritehypocrite]

\o/

[sheriffspidey]

...Uh.

Security, for starters?

[notatruesmile]

There's no such thing as being completely safe, though. And the more we try to hide things, the more inevitable it is that they'll be dragged to the surface some day.

[Fai doesn't sound dour or depressed about that at all. Just matter-of-fact, like it's something he's simply accepted from the start.]

In any case...if you really think about it, a name is just a handle for people to hold onto you by, isn't it? Which means not having a name at all would provide the most security!

[sheriffspidey]

...Well, maybe, but that'd be a little impractical from day to day, wouldn't it? Who would the poor civilians call out to when they needed saving? And I couldn't really sign off with "your friendly neighborhood... stranger."

But hey, vigilantism isn't exactly the safest career in the world, anyway. We just make do.

...Y-you're using the icon I made you...! :O

[notatruesmile]

Hmm~ If you say so. I'm afraid a selfish guy like me wouldn't know anything at all about something like that. When you can't even save yourself, you don't have much room to worry about saving others.

I AM 8DDD

[sheriffspidey]

Hey, trust me, I've seen the most selfish of the selfish. Those types wouldn't be half as nice as you're coming off--

...

...well, okay, some would for backstabbing purposes, but that's what the good ol' Spidey Sense is for.

[notatruesmile]

[Fai doesn't know why exactly he's being so forthcoming about something like this--it's generally like pulling teeth, getting him to really talk about himself on something deeper than surface-level. Maybe it's because there's just something about this kid that makes him want to monologue lol puts him off his guard a little and makes him want to be just a little bit honest.]

...Or~ there's a third option, isn't there~?

[Some of that lightheartedness drops out of his voice--most of it, in fact, though it's probably still hard to tell if he's joking or not.]

That I'm not at all as nice as you think I am, but I just don't bear you specifically any ill will.

[sheriffspidey]

...

Oh, well, yeah, there's always that. [Said in a OH DUH I TOTES KNEW THAT kind of way.

Still, he's not sure if the guy's screwing with him or not, so there's some uncertainty as he adds:]

...which is... always a good thing.

[notatruesmile]

It is, isn't it~? ♪

[lol NOPE, ttly not screwing with him...except for the part where he ttly is. And yet, at the same time, in way he is serious. Because Fai knows he's not at all a good person, but he's still not specifically out to hurt other people...which doesn't make up for what he's done and who he is, but it's at least a small credit to him. He hopes. Oh, how he hopes.]

And here's another good thing, too! From what I know of you, Mister Parker, that's not likely to change.

[sheriffspidey]

...Oh. Well. Good.

[...]

Then I guess we can consider it a pleasure. [And now doing the Totes American Thing of offering a hand for shaking/peace offering/ODD? FRIENDSHIP HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED Symbol]

[notatruesmile]

[Still smiling (of course), Fai accepts the handshake, pumping their clasped hands up and down maybe just a little too cheerfully and enthusiastically which he does totally on purpose, because he's annoying like that.]

Oh, the pleasure's all mine, I'm sure!

[And once he's worked Spidey's arm like a water-pump handle for a satisfactory amount of time, he lets go and backs off a bit.]

Well! Have fun at your party, Mister Parker. Maybe we'll see each other around some day.

[And with a wave and that mysterious smile that tends to have the effect of making people...not sure if they want to see him around ever again, Fai's gonna start to head off~]

[sheriffspidey]

[...after that workout, Spidey just lifts his other hand in a brief gesture of farewell.]

Uh, sure. Good luck out there.

[...And he'll be standing there for a few seconds before he realizes that he still never got the dude's name.]
