[...

Jaeger.]

I have been telling you that it isn't necessary, haven't I?

[scythegun]

Well, yes, but I was hoping to find something anyway! You're important to me and I wanted to show that with the perfect present!

[manufactured]

It's all right, you know.

[He sounds...really kind of amused, honestly? This is sort of precious.]

You can take me out somewhere, if it's that important to you. But I'm not bothered.

[scythegun]

[That seems to satisfy him, but he hasn't missed the amusement.]

Well, as long as it's not the waffle house! Nothing against the waffle house, of course, but I can think of plenty of better places to go on a date.

And don't look so amused! I tried really hard, I'll have you know!

[manufactured]

[All the protesting isn't helping the amusement any, ohhhhh boy...]

I'm certain you did.

[...dear god.]

And I do like other places, you know.

[scythegun]

[p o u t

But he'll let it go, okay.]

I know, I know! I just think it's cute that you're so fond of it!

[manufactured]

And why shouldn't I be?

[...the waffles are surprisingly good, okay]

[scythegun]

It's a nice place, but I wouldn't have expected you to like it so much!

[it's cuuuuuuute]

[manufactured]

It's not as though I did, either.

[it is not cute]

[scythegun]

[it's the cutest]

Well, I'm glad you enjoy it so much!

[manufactured]

...If you say so.

[What does he do with this.]

[scythegun]

And I do!

[You deal, apparently.]

Anyway, that's what I wanted to tell you. I'm still looking forward to spending the holiday with you, even if I couldn't find a gift!

[manufactured]

It's not as though my luck has been any better, really.

[you are impossible to shop for, asshole.]

[scythegun]

[He nods at that, like this is absolutely expected.]

Understandable, I've been told I'm very difficult to shop for! But that makes us even, so we can just enjoy the holiday together!

[manufactured]

That was more or less my plan, yes.

[...you're probably still going to say something that's going to make him want to die, but that's fine.]

[scythegun]

[That's his gift to himself, honestly!!]

Good! I'm really looking forward to it~!

[manufactured]

...Likewise.

[He's so awkward...]

It seems that Retrospec is providing me with...gifts of some sort, even if you can't. I can't say I appreciate them terribly much.

[scythegun]

Oh? What did they give you?

[manufactured]

Guns, of all things.

[MORE GUNS...]

[scythegun]

Guns... My, you really were armed to the teeth, weren't you?

[manufactured]

Given that one of them seems to be a submachine gun and the other is an assault rifle, I would say so.

[...YEAH...]

[scythegun]

Oh dear. I can see why you'd be a bit appalled to receive such gifts...

[manufactured]

They're currently upstairs; I have no intention of using them.

The assault rifle was apparently issued by that unit I was in charge of before. S.T.A.R.S. Given that it was apparently a special tactics unit, I can't say that I'm surprised, but apparently they rather liked us armed.

[scythegun]

That makes sense, ja. Still, it's interesting that Retrospec would give you two at a time. Perhaps they're feeling charitable...?

[manufactured]

...I'm not certain I want to know what they think would warrant something like that.

[JUST...SAYING...

That said, though, he pauses once that's out there; just...thinking for a moment.]

Do you think they have complete control over what we receive and what we don't? For curiosity's sake.
