And, why're you tryin' to forget him? He's alive, y'know.

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

[And that only makes it more difficult to forget him.]

That is a private matter, Mr. Greed.

... I do not want to have anything to do with Shinji Ikari.

[material_guy]

Aa. It's private. That's why I'm askin' you about it. You can't talk about it with just anyone. So what's up?

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

...

And here I thought I was beginning to understand the way your logic works.

[material_guy]

That'll teach you to think.

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

... [Has he dodged the question? Good.]

[material_guy]

So. About Ikari. What's the problem?

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

[CURSES.]

The "problem" is none of your concern.

[material_guy]

Sure it is. You're my combat butler. If you wanna abandon and forget some kid after shit like that and be completely not classy, he must've pulled somethin' pretty bad on you! You're a class act above everything else!

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

If that is what worries you, allow me to clarify: I am not angry at him, or... [Or...] ... Anything of the sort.

[material_guy]

... But you wanna forget him.

...

[Greed props his chin on his palm.] Y'know, J.D. I'm a grown man, and pretty stable. But, even if he's old enough, there're parts of him that're still a kid. And he's him. You can't expect everyone to be as awesome as me.

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

...

What are you trying to imply?

[material_guy]

Not everyone's gonna get you like I do.

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

... [Yeah, now he really doesn't get it. Mostly because he's not sure if Greed is trying to make a serious, valid point. If he is, he gets it. But since when is Greed serious with him, bar situations where he thinks he only has one day to live?]

[material_guy]

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

...?

[material_guy]

I get you. So, I don't mind if you make a mess now and then, but I'll be pretty upset if my butler can't clean up the mess he's making without making it bigger. Take care of it, when he sees this thing.

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

If he sees it, I will calmly explain the situation to him. After all, this concerns him. [And not you, is what he's getting at.]

[material_guy]

Calmly? That's not the tone to take at all.

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[material_guy]

You don't got it in you to explain and apologize calmly. If it's you, it's gonna be awkward. Not calm.

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

I am perfectly capable of remaining calm.

[material_guy]

[Blank, unconvinced stare.]

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

[Characteristically indignant silence.]

[material_guy]

Don't blow it.
