Esperanto: I’m not really in the mood for this-
Geezer: But you wanted to kick someone who’s already had enough of your shit for the day, right?
Geezer: Coward.
Esperanto: The conditioning process is admittedly extreme-
Geezer: Then how about we get back home yeah? Parking lot brawls don’t look good.
Esperanto: I suppose you’re quite correct there.
Geezer: If you’re gonna fight now, come at me. If not? Hold off a bit.
Esperanto: A return to base before anything continues then.
Esperanto: A fair request.
Esperanto: But he did agree to train under me at some point. I expect it to be honored eventually.
The fiend gets up from their seat.
Esperanto: I’m going to ponder for a bit. Are you all wrapped up with your meals? No dessert?
Geezer: Think we’re good.
Esperanto: Head back, I’ll meet you there and perhaps with can have a conversation on the conditions of this, yes?
Esperanto: Until then, cool off.
They make their way out the side exit, Bern giving your group a guilty look before leaving the building.
Styx: You didn’t have to do that-
Geezer: Did what I had to. Not for you but for Charon.
Geezer: Grandma would’ve done the same thing, so I played it like she showed me.
Opera: Surprised they backed off, would’ve expected them to take the fight.
Geezer: They’re a coward is what, really don’t think the training is worth it.
Opera: Yeah… I don’t like how obsessive they are.
Opera: Even if they’re a family friend it just doesn’t make sense…
Geezer: Never one heard of them, have to call Gran later about this.
Geezer: Anyway, mind telling me why you’re in control?
He glares directly at you. You’re too scared to move.
Geezer: Thought you weren’t gonna make a regular thing of this.
Styx: Accident, I assure.
Styx: We were talking and… something set me off I think.
Geezer: Yeah? What’s that?
Styx: A memory.. I can give him back in a moment. Just still cooling off really…
Your eye waters just a bit, still feeling tender over earlier.
Opera: Maybe you could ease up on him, I don’t think I’ve seen him like this before…
Geezer: Yeah… crying is new.
Styx: Being merged with your comrade is having effects on me more than I was prepared for.
Styx: Don’t very much like it.
Geezer: Sooner Charon comes back, sooner you’re out of this pickle, right?
You gulp hard.
Take in a deep breath.
Just hand back the reins…
I’ve got it from here…
Charon: Sorry about that, he didn’t mean any harm.
Charon: Thank you for sticking up for me.
Geezer: You sure you’re okay keeping him around like that?
Geezer: How long is this gonna last?
Charon: Until he fades out or we figure out a way to split things. Either way I promise he won’t be a problem.
Geezer: Long as you’re sure, I trust you.
Opera: Same.
Charon: I think… this is good for both of us. If only so we can both potentially be at peace with what happened back then.
Geezer: Mm…
Geezer: I’m gonna go warm up the bus. We’re gonna head home and have a few serious talks with people. Sound good?
Opera: Mmhmm..
Charon: Yeah.
Geezer: But you wanted to kick someone who’s already had enough of your shit for the day, right?
