[Someone's looking a little haggard. But, hey, SOMEONE has to make a statement.]

Dr. Stein, I apologize for the trouble.

I'm certain the rest of you know it well by now, but the 'royal duel' did not and shall not happen. We've trouble enough without carrying our--

Oh my cooood, blondie, this can't seariously be all the sugar you gots. What happened to those little chocolate-sugar cereal things you had?-- you ain't finish 'em all off did you?

[He shouts back over his shoulder.]

The ones I bought this morning? That was reely all you bought?

[Sigh... right, back to his message. Where was he? Oh, skip the lecture.]

Nevertheless, for the time being, Meenah shall be sharing room with me in Casualty Communal. Should you requi--

Is there at least somefin around here I can bake? Check the cupboard!

...If naught else, this sort of thing is supposed to strengthen resonance, is it not?

Sea salt caramels?! Shoulda said you had these sooner!

[There's a split second of him making a mad dash for the pantry as the feed cuts off.]

[He took the elbow in stride. Just so long as she didn't shred through them like she did the chocolate cereal bars- those caramels cost him way too much. Last time he takes a tip from Blair.]

Serket... she's the one who writes in blue, am I not right? I'd guessed as much...

[In concession, he tossed her another one of the caramels.]

Though you seemed intent on guarding the lot of them before.

[But Ramza they're so tastyyyyy... and geez fine be that way she'll just go buy her own and none for you.

...okay, maybe one for you.

Maybe.]

Yeah, that's her. Mouthy brat.

[She looks up at him as she catches the caramel, hoisting herself up onto the counter.]

Is that what you think? Please. It was shellf-preservation, blondie.

Mayhap it was.

[Still, he didn't seem particularly convinced as he unwrapped one of the treats for himself. ]

Then I wouldn't worry too much for their knowing, either, if you've no business with them.

[Ramza popped it into his mouth. ...yyyup. These things were not worth a dollar apiece.]

Nor Shibusen, for that matter. We were fortunate enough to walk away merely admonished and not demoted.

It totally was.

[Sulking up at him. So much. But pretending she's not sulking because duh.]

Eh, guess it don't matter either way.

[Eyein' you. And eyein' that cupboard.]

I don't think they could demote us if we ain't reely got any ranks to begin with tho.

Surely you jape! Did you--[No, knowing Meenah, she probably didn't listen to that part of orientation.]

I would have you remember that Shibusen may strip us of our earned souls and merits just as we would as our rank. I wouldn't want to see our work in that last mission so easily undone.

[Ramza glanced over to Meenah and made note of her gaze. He glanced over to the cupboard. Then to the saccharine caramel he still held, only half-eaten.

Yeeeeeah, he wasn't going to be able to finish these himself. With a gesture of mock-indignation, he handed her the bag.]

All the more reason to do another. Mayhap a kishin egg or two would suffice in the other empress' stead?

Did I what?

[Totally oblivious- and tbh she mostly half-listened to Aranea like always and only absorbed the parts she deemed 'awesome'. Life with Meenah, really.]

Oh- well. Yeah, that would kinda suck then, wouldn't it?

[Stupid Shibusen jerks. She perks up when he hands her the bag though, flashing all her teeth in a broad smile. It somehow widens when he mentions another mission.]

Yeah! Gotta stay ahead of that idiot batterbitch!

Then that is how we shall best her. We certainly have a head start as of now.

[Hey, if that rivalry could be turned into something productive, so much the better. He finishes off the caramel as quickly as possible.]

We ought to try another mission once the air clears of this incident. Last I saw there was no shortage work to be done.

Then we betta make shore we stay ahead.

[She nibbles slowly on the edge of a caramel, almost thoughtful for a moment.]

I don't think they'd be reel bothered if we take missions ASAP. Probubbly the schooner the betta.

[She pops the rest of the sweet into her mouth and then reaches up... and paps his cheek lightly.]

Just nofin boring, okay?

[Which means, of course, more combat missions.]
