[cont'd from here]

Are you quick witted and quick on your feet? You sound pretty relaxed about the possibility of being assaulted.

[foolish_seal]

I'll just say I have a few aces up my sleeve. I can handle myself.

[aceordisgraced]

Ooh, reliable, and cool to boot.

Well, I hope you don't have to play those cards just yet, Minato. Mostly because unlike you, I don't do a whole lot of fighting and I prefer to keep my suits clean.

[foolish_seal]

With luck, tonight will go smoothly. Even then, I've seen a lot of security.

[aceordisgraced]

That's true. We're in the past, so they probably don't want Versailles to break down in case something happens. Anyway, a party's a party -- you got a date or anything?

[Please excuse the old man act, Minato.]

[foolish_seal]

I've only been here a month. Haven't had time to get to know the ladies.

[But he will.]

[aceordisgraced]

[He barks a laugh. He wasn't expecting someone like Minato to get flustered and sputter about that, but he didn't think he'd get a response that involved the word "ladies."]

Are there any you'd like to get to know, in particular? Haha.

[foolish_seal]

[Ladies and gentlemen, the Port Island Pimp.]

A few. Lot of them seem like it'd be dangerous to get too close too fast, though.

[aceordisgraced]

A few already? [He whistles.] Well I wish you luck, soldier.

[foolish_seal]

I'll do what I can.

[aceordisgraced]

Are you going for one first or attacking them all at once?

[foolish_seal]

I'll play the field for a bit, and once I find a suitable target, I'll focus on that.

[aceordisgraced]

Hahaha. You know, you sound used to this sort of thing...

[foolish_seal]

...You could say that.

[aceordisgraced]

Let me guess: You had a lot of ladies back home too?

[foolish_seal]

A couple, maybe.

[Except more like six, two admirers, and a robot, but details.]

[aceordisgraced]

I hope that wasn't all at once. Just saying.

[foolish_seal]

...Nah, it wasn't.

[Except it totally was.]

[aceordisgraced]

[That pause is suspicious, my good friend.]

Did you have a lot of friends too?

[foolish_seal]

Yeah, I did.

[aceordisgraced]

You did, huh? That's good to hear.

[He grins widely.]

Friends are nice, aren't they?

[foolish_seal]

They are, yeah.

[He doesn't quite see where this is going, if anywhere, but whatever.]

[aceordisgraced]

[There's no map or direction in a chatter with the Wright.]

It's the middle of a war and it's a weird place to be, but what do you say -- do you want to try being friends?

[foolish_seal]

Don't see why not.

[Social Link GO!]

[aceordisgraced]

[He grins even wider than he already is and holds out his hand to shake.]

Good answer. Nice to meet you, again, Minato.
