...I'm not asking this to be backhanded, but are you going to insist that I talk about it either way?

[sadisticwarfare]

Is it something that will come up again?

[explosivecombat]

Forget it, Archer.

I'm tired of fighting with you and I'm not feeling particularly inclined toward doing it again.

[sadisticwarfare]

I don't want to pick a fight with you. I'm serious - is it something that's going to come up again? If it is then we should get it out of the way now. If it's not, I'm perfectly fine dropping it.

[explosivecombat]

I have no way of knowing if it's going to come up again, because you tend to bring up things like this when I'm not expecting it whenever you want an example of why you find me untrustworthy after some perceived slight or another.

[sadisticwarfare]

Don't act like you never bring things up again. This isn't something I'm going to bring up again because I'm not bothered by the context. What's bothering me is that you refused to tell me what the problem was in the first place. I don't know how you expected me to simply dismiss something like that.

[explosivecombat]

I'm not discussing this with you, Archer. Since you didn't seem to understand me the first time, I'm not in the mood to fight with you.

[sadisticwarfare]

Fine. I'll contact you when I manage to gain the same telekinetic abilities as my Pokémon.

[explosivecombat]

[oh my godddddddd]

I don't know what you even expect me to say at this point.

...And I think you meant 'telepathic', by the way.

[sadisticwarfare]

Honestly? I'm not expecting anything. I'll see you when you return.

[explosivecombat]

Stop it.

I can't tell what you want and you know it. You know me well enough by now.

[sadisticwarfare]

I've already told you what I want. I've been much more open about that than you have.

[explosivecombat]

Once more, then, if you don't mind. I don't

[Mnngh.]

I'm not following very well.

[sadisticwarfare]

[..............]

Very well. I don't understand why you'd be irritated with me over a difference in beliefs. I understand that you put much more importance on it than I do, but I still don't see why that makes such a difference here.

I'm still bothered by the fact that you refused to bring it up with me in the first place. Yes, it wasn't something I wanted to hear, but that's not a reason to keep something like that from me, especially when it's spiraled into this mess. Imagine if something like this hadn't come up until an argument.

If this is about me being a hypocrite - and only that - then I'm really not sure what to tell you. It's not as though this is news to either of us.

[explosivecombat]

Why would it have come up in the context of an argument? There was no sense in bringing it up to you because I'm entirely aware that it's irrelevant.

[sadisticwarfare]

It's enough to irritate you. That's hardly "irrelevant".

[explosivecombat]

...Archer, even I'm not self-important enough to think that every little thing that bothers me is going to be relevant in the scheme of things.

[sadisticwarfare]

I'd hope I mean more to you than that.

[Archer]

You know how I am. I can't let something like that sit. If there's a problem, I have to address it. It doesn't matter how large of a problem it is. I'm particularly bad about it when it's a problem someone else has with me.

[..................]

Well, when it's a problem someone I like has with me.

[explosivecombat]

Of course you do.

...As for the rest, somehow I don't think an entirely genuine and non-sarcastic "I'm flattered that I'm worth your continued, albeit somewhat annoyed, perseverance" is anywhere near what my response to that should have been, but here we are, apparently.

[sadisticwarfare]

Do you really think I'd give up so easily? Honestly, Kimblee, I'm insulted. I'm far more dedicated than that, especially to those who have earned my favor.

[explosivecombat]

No, I know you are.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can answer you with regards to why this is bothering me.

[sadisticwarfare]

Is there anything I can do?

[explosivecombat]

I don't know. I'm not saying that I can't answer you because I don't want to; I'm saying it because I don't know the answer myself.

[sadisticwarfare]

I see. I'm afraid I don't know how I can help either.

[explosivecombat]

It's not something you have to try to fix, Archer; it's not a problem with you, per se.
