I still don't see why they can't get along. They're both such agreeable individuals.

[How he can say that with a straight face is a mystery.]

[psycholawgy]

Were you also voted class clown aside from prom king?

[ because you're funnier than moe... truly. . . ]

[shacklebreaker]

As flattering as such a title is, I'm afraid not.

[...He developed most of his bad sense of humour in prison.]

[psycholawgy]

(It's actually not flattering at all.)

You certainly know when to be funny.

[ but enough about that. . . ]

So... this isn't sweet or anything, but I was hoping if you'd help me question somebody.

[shacklebreaker]

Oh? I'm listening.

[There might be a predatory gleam in his eye as he says that.]

[psycholawgy]

It's-- well- [ HMMMM how does she begin. ] My friend found a strange document while snooping around CERES. So we want to interrogate one of the employees to get more information.

I think with you and me as part of the team, we'd be able to get what we need.

[shacklebreaker]

If it's CERES you're after, you should exercise discretion in where you discuss these matters.

[He suspects CERES' eyes and ears are on them constantly, particularly in their apartments. But since she's already gone ahead and said it, they might as well continue. There's no taking it back now.]

What is this strange document?

[psycholawgy]

Something called the Queen File. I have no idea what's on it. . .

[ she continues to eat, unsure of what to say next. she's really curious, though. ]

But I'd do whatever I can go get more information. CERES is just... [ for lack of better word, and because her immaturity is showing- ] really stupid. And annoying. I hate them now.

[shacklebreaker]

Is there no talking you out of it and letting me handle it?

[He'd sooner she didn't attempt anything so risky just to gather intelligence, but he also knows there's little to stop Athena once her mind is set on something.]

[psycholawgy]

Oh! I'm glad you asked.

[ a short pause. ]

Nope. This was my idea, so there's no way I'm not taking part in it.

[shacklebreaker]

Then I have no choice but to accompany you. But we can discuss the logistics of such an effort later -- let's not allow CERES to sabotage today more than they already have.

[psycholawgy]

Good thinking. [ she nods accordingly. it's pretty nice that simon doesn't want to ruin today. it's... a really nice sentiment. ]

And thank you.
