[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

"Not really going to let you off easy, no.  I've had a really, really interesting week you could say.  And right now in particular, I'm not exactly in the mood for playing around.  Can't say I blame Ms. Sterling here for wanting to get to know you and how I know you a bit more after a careless slip of my tongue, though, of course.  Again, wasn't expecting you to show up so quickly, to be brief."

Just a quick stab of a guess/implication at the general topic of what they were potentially talking about or where that conversation was potentially headed.  Just a hunch.  Though it could only be one of the topics they potentially were/were going to be discussing, of course.

Taylor let out a long suffering *Sigh.....* as you bluntly answered her, shaking her head and slumping more into the couch.

"Figured as much. You've never been one to take things easy.....or lightly. Just......give me a couple of minutes, alright?"

Your other comments, however, managed to provoke a brief bit of shock from Kyubi, while your partner? cracked a smile and chuckled again, this time much more smoothly and amiably.

"Err.....yes, we did get to know one another, Reiner. I was curious about her, and she was about me, so we just....started talking to each other about ourselves. Well, not at first. She was not very.....chatty when we first meet, but she warmed up quickly!"

"Ha! Not letting anything get past ya tonight, eh? You've hardly changed at all.... Anyway, yeah, its like she said. Was kinda surprised some random chick already knew about me, so that left me a bit cagey around her at first. But once I got to know her a bit, we started getting along real well. Real ice cream of a woman you have there Reiner, and absolutely adorable whenever you came up in the conversation."

"T-Taylor!"

"Ha, don't say it ain't true, Kyubi!"

"Hmpt!"

The what the women told you sounded true enough on the surface, but their subtle phrasing and body language told you there was more to their prior discussion than just getting to know one another. Plus, though it was faint, you could pick up a sense of awkwardness and guilt from Taylor whenever she was talking to you/about you, while you felt a bit of resentment yet begrudging understanding direct towards Taylor from Kyubi, past all her Love for you in her unguarded moment.

Plot thickens....
