"Hey, this is Envy. I'm busy or not around, so say whatever you want here and I might get back to you about it."

That's because, believe it or not, you're a better person than he was.

I'm pretty sure the only reason he didn't successfully murder Snake is because he had a short attention span.

_{[Like SHE LOVED LIQUID, SHE REALLY DID!! But that boy was not interested in learning life lessons about family and forgiveness.]}

You actually try.

[Heather is now person number two to tell Envy that they think he's a better person than...anyone when it comes to brothers.]

[That means something. He's not sure what, but it does.]

[He's quiet for a minute, and when he opens his mouth...]

[The incredibly loud DEDEDEDE-WHOOOOOP of a Kricketune sounds from entirely too close by.]

[Which is enough to derail any meaningful comment from Envy, but he does finally snicker.]

Well...if you're sure I don't just have a short attention span. Maybe I'm just distracted all the time.

<sub>[She actually JUMPS at the sudden, deafening chirrup, fists coming up automatically-- like they always do when she's startled.]

[But the second she realizes what it was, she's already laughing.]</sub>

Fuck, that scared me.

I dunno, maybe you're just super distractable. Because I haven't actually had to try that hard in this last year or so to stop you and Al from trying to drown each other in the swimming pool.

Just that one time during the Third Rise of Lapras Floatie, and I suspect the Lapras Floatie herself may have had a hand in the attempt.

Hey, I did call the Lapras Floatie and it's his fault for not respecting my claim to the throne.

If he didn't wanna get drowned, he shouldn't have been a usurper.

[He could have continued on that track, and normally he would have, but he stops himself, a weird, surly look crossing his face instead. That strayed a liiittle too close to normal for his liking when he wants to be mad. But he sighs, frustrated but still also having the Feelings from her confidence in him. There's just a lot going on right now in this emotionally stunted little green-haired package.]

But whatever. I'm not gonna go murdering 'em. With backflips or otherwise.

Let's talk about something else.

[foolishwren]

<sub>[She does snicker, but the look on his face stops her from commenting further. Because yeah, okay, now's not the time to look back fondly on Al Moments.]

[She claps him lightly on the back.]</sub>

Yeah, we've covered murder and backflips pretty thoroughly.

Conversation topic is officially changed.

_{[There's still plenty of distance between here and home to cover with other, less sticky subjects.]}
