No, Peda, you may not leave a message.

I'm very glad to hear it, Robert. I was worried that you'd be beholden to them forever.

And anything that they bring to bear against you, you can rest assured neither Jonathan or myself will allow it to simply happen.

You are mistaken if you believe it will be handled by yourself.

[speedweed]

It had been... a long time coming, really. Though it seemed like they didn't particularly care.

Though I'm sure they'll think differently should I start speaking ill of them, not that it particularly matters.

I have no say in whether or not it is handled by myself or not, correct?

[puddlesoverdios]

Ah! He can be taught.

[Terrible woman.]

If it weren't myself telling you so, it would be Jonathan. Speaking of him: have you told him yet?

[speedweed]

How rude! Though if you consider that teaching, then perhaps I deserve a reward for learning.

[As if he's any better.]

Nnnnno?

[puddlesoverdios]

Scamp.

[Such cheek!]

Well, you had better before I tell him what to expect. Or no rewards for any lessons learned.

[speedweed]

[Noooo, don't do that to him!]

Do we have to? I really don't want the betrayal look you know I will get for it.

[puddlesoverdios]

Yes! You must tell him; it doesn't matter what sort of face he makes, he must know.

[speedweed]

But what if nothing happens???? Can we not????????

Even if nothing happens, Robert E.O. Speedwagon, it is better to let him be aware than in the dark. I've dragged him over the coals for leaving me unaware of certain information before, don't think for a moment I won't do the same to you if he isn't told.

[speedweed]

[Rude!!!]

Erina, if it doesn't cause a problem then is it really necessary? Truly, I doubt they'll care unless I run around telling everyone about what went on there. Which I have no plans on poking the sleeping beast unless I have good reason to do so.

Not that anyone there that is native to this world was remotely competent.

[puddlesoverdios]

Robert., while their incompentency may be the case, wouldn't it be better for us to not withhold information from him? I don't think I could bear the idea of him feeling kept out of the loop. And anyway, it isn't as though you asked to be stuck in some sort of bondage with them.

[speedweed]

Is he really out of the loop if it's a moot point? Or that if nothing comes of it? Is it not perhaps better to not put that sort of burden on him?

[puddlesoverdios]

Even if it is, do one generally try to be "better safe, than sorry?" I know I do.

[speedweed]

[Why do you have to use LOGIC with him? That's so RUDE.]

Erinaaaaa. [Is he whining now? Sort of.]

[puddlesoverdios]

Roooobeeert.

[She can do it, too.]

It won't kill you to let him know. Better safe than sorry, and if we must, I will be right there with you. Help cushion your words.
