Hmph... There's that warrior spirit of yours.

[It's certainly something to be admired, and it suits her better than all that crying. Satisfied she's back to her usual self, he draws back.]

If you were ever to code me, I do hope you properly brush up on how to do so first. Returning as a mess of scrambled data sounds like an uncomfortable experience.

[Well, Aura would think it would be pretty funny, but then she's the kind of person who would mess with his coding for kicks.]

[psycholawgy]

Maybe I'll have the new you talk in modern English.

[ Pls don't leave, Simon. She'll turn you into someone completely out of character. ]

[shacklebreaker]

[Powers Athena should never be allowed to have, right there.]

If you have trouble understanding my vocabulary, might I suggest consulting a dictionary sometime?

[psycholawgy]

Me?! I'm more concerned about Mr. Wright and the judge, that's all!

[ So rude!! And here she thought they were having a tender moment. ]

[shacklebreaker]

[Local Jerks Ruin Everything: the ongoing saga.]

In any case, if you were to disappear, I would do everything I could to retrieve you, too, so don't bother your pretty little head about it.

[psycholawgy]

[ at least now she can return the hug. ]

Great! Because I've already started worrying about it.

Thanks, Simon.

[shacklebreaker]

[He'll just awkwardly tolerate the hug, now that she's no longer in need of cheering up.]

It is the least I can do. If I could only do more, I would take you away from this place altogether.

[psycholawgy]

What are you talking about?!

[ She places her hands on his shoulders, shaking him. ]

There are so many people that need help, and we can only do it here. I'm not leaving until everything's settled!

[shacklebreaker]

[omg please stop]

Those are all very noble words, but expecting to fix the problems of every individual here is madness. How many do you intend to help before you're satisfied?

[psycholawgy]

Don't be silly; that's just a bonus.

What I mean is, I won't leave until everybody gets to go home.

[shacklebreaker]

That much should go without saying. Only a coward abandons others to their fates, while saving his own skin.

[Translated: he agrees.]

[psycholawgy]

Ha ha! That's right. And this hero is getting hungry.

What's for dinner?

[shacklebreaker]

Hmph... What a demanding lodger you are already. First you come in and cause a fuss, now you expect me to feed you.

[He gets to his feet, heading to the kitchen. Just ignore his old man grumbling, he actually doesn't mind.]

Have you ever tried tonkatsu?

[psycholawgy]

[ You do that, Simon. Meanwhile, Athena's going to bring out some of the stuff out of her bag so she can use them later. ]

What is that? Does it have meat in it?

[ She's probably eaten it before; she just doesn't remember what it's called. ]

[shacklebreaker]

Yes. It's a Japanese style of pork cutlet, breaded and deep fried.

[It's also not the healthiest dish, but he'll treat Athena since it's her first night of staying here.]

[psycholawgy]

Oh, teach me the recipe so I can cook it for Ryuko when she's back!

[shacklebreaker]

All right. I'll write it down, so you can make it whenever you please.
