“Suan De, ease the insults a little, I don’t think the others can take this much.” You like banter, not poorly veiled personal attacks…
“As long as we keep our banter going…” Suan De will be content only insulting you as she walks back into the base proper.
Intermission time is over, now you put all your attention to Rise’s files and finding Crossbill’s prison cell number...! That’s what you’d say, but you’re welcomed by a peculiar scene. Vera and Scarlet are shaking hands while Liu cheerfully claps.
“Everyone, we’re back with our differences solved.” You put your hands on your hip. “But that can wait, what’s going on?”
“I’m glad you didn’t get stabbed.” Liu likes you being unharmed. Scarlet and Vera nod at this assertion. All of them were worried.
“I said I wouldn’t do such a thing.” The Slob Dragon keeps her words but not her sanity. Everyone was waiting for her to say ‘yet’ at the end there.
“Seriously, what’s going on?” You bring the focus back to the girls shaking hands.
“We signed a <span class="mu-i">peace treaty.</span>” Vera shows her vindictive smile. “Our bickering had to stop.”
“Mhm! We’ve put our differences aside to work together for everyone’s sake.” Scarlet seems content enough.
“That’s very commendable of you two.” You are impressed and kinda proud!
“Headphones did more than an acceptable job being our arbiter, right, Bubbles?” Vera smiles at the redhead.
“Yeah! We ended with favorable terms for both of us, Cheese-on-Wheels!” Scarlet smiles back.
“I won’t have any issues with the Ice Cream Goblin from now on, that’s for sure.” Vera continues showing her pearly whites to Scarlet.
“Same, Sewer Rat. Same!” Scarlet’s bubbly facade is scary. It’s like they were influenced by Suan De’s banter and they never heard it!
“Hmm…” Liu didn’t want to take responsibility for this. You aren’t proud anymore.
“I’m surely glad to be working with children.” Suan De isn’t impressed by this iffy attempt at diplomacy.
“This feels… off.” You’re having second thoughts on whether this treaty has much peace in it.
“You don’t say?” The Slob Dragon sighs like the bum she is.
“Liu, dispel their unwelcomed doubts.” Vera commands her minion.
“...They can insult each other as much as they want, but they won’t waste time arguing.” Liu explains.
“Initially, I was the only one with the right to insult the other freely, but Liu has the qualities of a skillful politician.” Vera tries to build her minion up.
“Octopus head was totally surprised by my initial rejection. Can you imagine?” Scarlet rolls her eyes. “But, whatevs, let’s focus on what’s really important now!”
You’re glad your team is learning to work together and care for each other’s feelings! Too bad they’re doing it in the worst way possible that is for the most part acceptable…
