❝Yoooo! Ain't here right now, which means I'm probably sleeping, eating, doing something I can't mention out loud, or something really awesome and attention-consuming, but whichever it is, I'm not here right now! Wait, I already said that. So yeah, do what you gotta do, which I guess is—❞

[On the down side, Rhys can't see it coming. On the bright side, he can never really see anything coming, which has made him rather adept at avoiding sudden attacks (?), so.

He'll be ducking with a—]

Whoa!

[... and if this is who he thinks it is (the body shape is familiar, at least...), then he'll be turning towards him with a hurt look.]

C'mon, dude! I know I ain't exactly your favourite person, but that's a little harsh, don't you think?

[He says as he waves his own mask around. It's dripping what he suspects to be blood, since if he squints hard, he can see that the liquid is red, and red liquid is... probably blood... but who even knows because he can't smell anything!!]

[discard]

[Unfortunately for Leon, the mask only clatters to the ground for a brief moment. A second later it's right back in his hand, much to his aggravation.]

You--

[Oh.

He didn't even know Rhys was there.]

You were just in my way, that's all.

[It's not like he was aiming for you or anything!]

[echoistic]

In the middle of what? Your really sad attempt at playing catch by yourself?

[discard]

[why you gotta be like that.]

Shut up. You don't know anything.

[...]

It was in the way, and I was trying to get rid of it. That's all.

[echoistic]

Y'know, if you wanna play catch, I'm here for you! You don't have to play by yourself!

[did you say something, leon...]

[discard]

If you want it, take it. It isn't as though I want it.

[KEEP THE MASK, RHYS.... why would he ever want to play a game with you though, really.]

[echoistic]

... No thanks, dude. I've already got my own weirdass mask! See?

[Waving said mask around!]

We're mask buddies!

[discard]

[... wh...y....]

... Are you an idiot? Why are you so needlessly cheerful over this?

[echoistic]

Is there a point in being anything but?

[discard]

Of course there is! If you slip up due to your own inane, foolish and pointless cheer, it will be to your own detriment!

[Not that he's...worried...]

[echoistic]

Please.

[He waves a hand.]

I might be an idiot, but I assure you that I'm still a hardened mercenary! Careless mistakes aren't in my repertoire.

[discard]

As if that is--

[....wait.]

What?

[...A...mercenary...]

You?

[That's rude, Leon.]

[echoistic]

... Is it really that surprising?

[discard]

You are just...

[Cheerful? Oblivious-seeming? Not really the sort?]

...an idiot.

[Ah.]

[echoistic]

And you're awfully quick to make judgments on what you barely know! That's also considered an idiotic move to make, y'know?

[discard]

Tch! What did you just say to me?

[Leon... he'll repeat it.]

[echoistic]

[Yep.]

"And you're awfully quick to make judgments on what you barely know! That's also considered an idiotic move to make, y'know?"

[He also has good memory, so. Sorry, Leon...]

[discard]

[EXCUSE YOU.]

You--!

Get out of my sight!

[ok leon]

[echoistic]

So it's okay for you to criticize me but not the other way around? Wow, unfair!

[discard]

As if your opinion matters to me at all!

[In this and in his criticisms....]

[echoistic]

Coincidentally, I'm not bothered by your opinion either! So that's one thing we have in common, huh?

[discard]

Then why are you still here?

[??? ???? why won't you leave him alone

(don't be a baby, Leon)]

[echoistic]

Why not? Do I have to care about what you think of me to like hangin' around you?

[discard]

[..... ????]

If you have no interest in what I think of you, and I have no interest in what you think of me, there is no purpose to remaining here. Like this.

[How do you socialize.]

[echoistic]

... Do you understand what "small talk" is?

[He says that very seriously, because who knows?? Maybe this dude doesn't know???]
