[blyat]

[...... yes, obviously?]

didn't go
it wasn't that bad
you didn't hit hard

[fessus]

Could've fooled me

Or do you always double over and back off when someone taps you? Stop trying to be a tough guy

[blyat]

what the hell do you want

or is it just to tell me what to do some more

[fessus]

You could start by being honest instead of avoiding half of what I say

W/e forget it

I messaged you bc we had unfinished business. I don't need a fight, but I need to know you're not gonna be a problem

[blyat]

what am i avoiding

a problem for who? you?
i'll think about it

you're the most annoying guy i've met on this ship

[fessus]

Thanks

You're also gonna be a problem if we land and someone has to cover you bc you get hit in that spot again btw

[blyat]

it's not gonna be a problem

someone make you captain of the ship when i wasn't looking?

[fessus]

I have to be a captain to call you out? How's it not gonna be a problem?

[blyat]

nobody else gives this much of a shit

it's not gonna be a problem because i said it's not gonna be a problem

[fessus]

Yeah I noticed

[ It's looping around to him having to question himself, as if he's the one overreacting to their current situation. Is he? ]

You in security?

[blyat]

yes

[LET HIM LIVE]

so where'd you learn to fight

[fessus]

Then it's gonna be a problem

[ NO I'M NOT DONE YET ]

If I tell you are you gonna stop being stubborn for five seconds and go heal up? You're front lines, I'm support. I don't wanna cover for you if smth happens

[blyat]

ugh will you fucking CHILL OUT about this stupid injury
IM FINE
A ROBOT CHECKED ON IT

OKAY?????

1/3

[fessus]

[ ?????? ]

2/3

[fessus]

[ ......,, ]

3/3

[fessus]

Wow you're like the lamest guy I've ever met

[blyat]

coming from the most ANNOYING guy i've ever met

[they're actually five year olds]

[fessus]

Yeah you think I'm annoying bc you knew you'd lose that fight and bc I've been right every time we've talked?

[blyat]

who the hell said you won?
we got interrupted

and right about what?
if you want to think you're better than me, go ahead
wouldn't be the first

[fessus]

Right about you getting fixed up
Right about this rn bc I definitely would've won if we kept going
Right about that thing with your ship not being my bad

[ Not that either of them claimed otherwise, but he's spiteful enough to claim the win anyway. Any responsible ship owner would've assumed he had no idea what he was doing– ]

You say I think I'm better than you but you were the one who was talking down to me that whole time

[blyat]

you wanna know what i was right about?
you being a fucking princess

[It drives him crazy. No one else so far has been able to get under his skin like Noctis has.]

since you been keeping score this whole time about whatever shit you're making up
i haven't talked to you any different than i would someone else
you think you're special?

[fessus]

[ That nickname grates. It's lucky this is over text so his reaction can be kept well to himself. ]

Don't ask if you don't want me to answer. We've talked twice so it's not like it's a long list

[ This fucking guy... ]

Maybe everybody else just puts up with you better. You wanna play nice? Fine. Tell me where you learned to fight first and I'll answer you

[blyat]

military

[It isn't a lie, but not technically the truth — the truth is a lot of what he learned was by himself, trial and error, often criminal in nature. He didn't learn anything properly until his enlistment, but he's not telling him that.]

the alliance
not this place's alliance, a different one
i don't get how it works either

[fessus]

[ It's not what he expected to hear.

Not because of Cain's fighting style itself, of which he saw far less than he would've liked to, or even because of how he carries himself... but more because of the assumptions he realizes he's been making. In his mind he's crafted a much more rough and tumble backstory for a man who's demonstrated himself to be violent, quick-tempered, and pleasure-seeking. But isn't that him being a hypocrite? Hell, he himself is two out of the three. ]

I've sparred with military guys before. None of them were anything like you

I'm a soldier. City guard, nothing they let you slack in

Is that how you got roughed up? On the job, before you got here

[blyat]

[City guard? So, some version of police in Eos?]

military could be different in places
my role's special

[That, at least, is true. Even if it isn't as special as it might sound in the context of how the Alliance finds its most disposable soldiers.]

and yeah
i got shot

why are you in support and not security
