Neither do I. Ah, well. I'll have to keep asking about.

[headmt]

[What is happening here.]

This homework or something?

[katzepaw]

[Tapping the side of his nose.]

Shouldn't say more in case I need you for it.

[headmt]

[Oh. Right. Mirroring the gesture.]

Got it, got it. Well if you ask me, based on alliteration alone, seems like the type of thing some of our more joyful and bouncy friends might know?

[katzepaw]

Ah, maybe. Something to ask somebody who's a little bit cuter than you or I?

[It sounds like something Jester would know, so maybe ask someone Jester adjacent.]

[headmt]

[wow this burn]

Just a little bit.

[katzepaw]

[Was it a burn, or was he just being a little cute himself.]

So that rules out Beauregard, we are both cuter than her. . .

[headmt]

[He knows he was being cute. This is also completely new territory? One book and suddenly this guy is full of Jokes? What else can reading unlock.]

Might have found the floor of cute with her. So really only upwards from there.

[katzepaw]

[He has always been full of jokes, he just says them all in a quiet mumble deadpan.]

Someone like Lila or Maya or your friend who hates pyramids.

[headmt]

That one is terribly cute. I got an apology letter and everything.

[Looking up like he's trying to think of who is the Cutest in all of the land.]

Blonde and Charming? In constant fights with the geese? He seems the type to know the dark arts of promises. Vows of vengeance and all.

[katzepaw]

Mm, I know that man. This is your top cutest, then? Ja, I could see me asking him for a pinky promise.

[headmt]

He's my nemesis!

[Don't say that so cheerfully.]

Or at least, that's what he says.

[katzepaw]

What did you do to piss off the craziest person here?

[headmt]

Looked like a demon in his presence, obviously.

[Also just be in general, kind of an annoying person.]

[katzepaw]

Ah. Well, that's no good. [. . .] I don't know if it's as funny as others seem to find it. I think he could be a little dangerous.

[headmt]

I didn't say I was intentionally getting under his skin.

Apparently he's a student of Byleth's. You met her?

[katzepaw]

I didn't say you were, either. [. . .] Ja, I met her. I like her a little bit, she seems like a decent person. Maybe she keeps him in line.
