[he takes his jacket off first, leaving it at the front before he follows after him]

You of all people would know if I was actually being serious.

[afineknight]

That's true. I wouldn't keep teasing you if you were serious.

[leonheartedly]

[both eyebrows shoot up]

That's a lie.

[afineknight]

Well . . . yes and no.

[leonheartedly]

Yes and no?

[afineknight]

If you were serious but it was not, ehhh, a big deal or anything? Then yes, I would keep teasing you.

But if you were serious and things were truly dire, then I wouldn't.

[leonheartedly]

Mm, fair enough.

. . . guess I could try to "lighten up" a little more.

[afineknight]

At least here, the stakes are, ehh . . . different.

[leonheartedly]

That's kind of an understatement, isn't it?

[afineknight]

They are high, but somehow not as high as before?

[leonheartedly]

Somehow. Not having a time limit looming makes a huge difference.

[afineknight]

It makes things more manageable, certainly.

[leonheartedly]

A little bit, but I'm more used to the other way.

[afineknight]

Then this won't be so bad in comparison.

[leonheartedly]

Nah. I'll take this over something else.

[afineknight]

It's almost like a vacation for you.

[leonheartedly]

It's as close to one as I'll ever get, probably.

[afineknight]

That is very sad, my friend. Now I have to make certain that I make it back, just so I can force an actual vacation on you.

[leonheartedly]

You can take it up with my boss when you get back, then.

[afineknight]

I will find a way.

A way that does not expose me, anyway.

[leonheartedly]

I wish you the best of luck.

[afineknight]

Do your part, too.

[leonheartedly]

My part?

[afineknight]

In getting yourself a vacation!

[leonheartedly]

Uh. I guess I could . . . ask for one . . . ?
