NOT THAT ONE EITHER!

[davincible]

You can't rule it out belatedly!

[gunmettle]

Why not?? You're not gonna get any good advice outa me!

[davincible]

You don't know that until you try!

[gunmettle]

[ Fidget... fidget... ]

Fine. But you're gonna have to ask somethin' specific.

[davincible]

In your opinion, do you think it's a good idea to get involved with anyone here?

[gunmettle]

[ Okay. That's... not what he was expecting. ]

Good idea? Maybe not. Is it gonna happen anyway? Yeah, probably.

But I don't think it's a bad thing.

[davincible]

[ she's being merciful. ]

And why do you think that?

[gunmettle]

'Cause people need people. That's just part of livin'.

[ He shrugs ]

Sure, there's the chance that we might hafta turn on each other, or die for real, or end up in solitary, but loss is a part of life too. This place is no different. Hell, I might even argue that it's worse, but that only makes findin' somethin', or someone, worth livin' for even more important.

[davincible]

... And you thought you were so bad at this.

[gunmettle]

Helps that you didn't straight up ask me how to sweep someone off their feet.

I know better than anyone that sometimes, bein' lonely just ain't worth it.

[davincible]

Honestly, I could probably manage-- both, I mean.

[ though that wasn't the problem, was it? ]

But it's true, you don't strike me as someone who would do well being alone.

[gunmettle]

Funnily enough, if you'd have caught me in the not so distant past, I'd have told you that I don't need anyone or anything. I know better now.

[davincible]

That's fair, I probably would have started laughing at an edgy response like that. Glad you came to understand yourself better.

[gunmettle]

I'm still workin' on it, in a lot of ways, but I'm much better off than I used to be.

So... [ exhale of cigarette smoke ] What brought that on?

[davincible]

Just from observing the large amount of people who have formed romantic webs of attachments, that's all. And given your own feelings, I was curious.

[gunmettle]

My own feelings?

[ Clearly he has all the pieces and has yet to put them together. ]

[davincible]

...

Juzo.

[gunmettle]

What? What's that look for?

[davincible]

I thought we'd reached this point of understanding already.

[gunmettle]

[ It takes him a moment to wind back through the course of the conversation, all the way back to its very absurd start ]

Sholmes?

[davincible]

Bravo! I knew you'd get there!

[gunmettle]

[ Please hold Juzo is rebooting. ]

That's what I'm an open book about??

[davincible]

... What did you... think I meant?

[gunmettle]

I don't know! I've never had this kinda thing happen to me before!
