[davincible]

To pick two people that they would agree to never target, correct?

[gunmettle]

Yeah, that's right. Getting 'em to agree not to target the whole team was pretty much off the table.

Havin' to pick two felt next to impossible.

[davincible]

Yes, Sphinx would have similar problems for very different reasons.

[ Haaa. ]

Sholmes seemed to think selecting him was inane.

[gunmettle]

I know. He told me as much when I made the decision.

[davincible]

And you didn't punch him? Amazing self-control!

[gunmettle]

Seriously? I know what I look like, but I don't have a hair trigger!

[davincible]

I would have punched him.

[gunmettle]

Hell. Remind me never to disagree with you, then.

[davincible]

Oh, you're welcome to. Sholmes and I just butt heads a lot. If he called any of my opinions inane, I'd have a hard time not throttling him.

[gunmettle]

Good thing it was me and not you then.

Didn't seem like a good place to come to blows, anyway.

[davincible]

No, probably not.

One could argue with his intellect, when he decides to use it, he's better off alive to make use of it for the sake of the team.

But I also feel as though it might not be your entire reason.

[gunmettle]

[ He pauses a moment. He can't help but feel like he's been caught in something, but he'll be damned if he knows what that is. ]

We weren't workin' on hard criteria like Yatagarasu was. I had to go with my gut.

[davincible]

[ Her smile is opaque as she listens. There's no real way to read what's behind it. ]

And instinctively, emotionally, you thought "this is someone that I absolutely don't want to die."

[ Hm. ]

Well, there's something to be said about trusting your gut.

[gunmettle]

[ When she puts it like that...

Her assessment is sharp and accurate, and somehow it feels like she's speared him straight through. His muzzle ticks away from her. ]

Guess there is.

[davincible]

[ Rude of him to have a gun for a head so she can't read his expression. Wow. Imagine, not being able to read someone's expression. The worst.

Da Vinci hums, a little lightly. ]

You might want to tell him that. Or you might not. You're a grown man with a body I very much appreciate [ wow ] and you know what's best for you.

[gunmettle]

I'm gonna, just tryin' to get my thoughts--

[gunmettle]

[ WAT ]

[gunmettle]

[ THE SHEER AMOUNT OF EMOTIONAL WHIPLASH IN THIS CONVERSATION. ]

done

[gunmettle]

LEAVE MY BODY OUTA THIS!!

[davincible]

[ Well.

Good job, you got her to laugh. ]

It was a compliment!

[gunmettle]

You coulda kept it to yourself!

[davincible]

Like hell I could! My god, man! Who looks at a work of art and keeps their mouth shut about it? That's the height of stupidity!

If I see an artistically pleasing body, I'm going to say something! A lot of things!! With no shame whatsoever!!

[gunmettle]

[ HEY QUESTION ]

[gunmettle]

[ WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO HIM ]

[gunmettle]

[ WHY IS THIS HIS LOT IN LIFE ]
