You knew that already.

[He takes Lahabrea's head in his hands, mock-sweetness.]

[Wherever this is going is only going to end in Lahabrea being bullied, it's like he can see the future!!]

You have no ounce of remorse about it, I see!

[How could he ever have guessed!]

Oh, I feel terrible about it. But I just can't stop myself. I know I said I'd let you rest, but you're just so easy. What am I supposed to do?

[He runs his fingers through his hair, so sweet, a man who can be trusted, all kindness and caring.............................

and tugs the braid.]

[How could he have been so BETRAYED by this thing he saw coming that Vergil literally directly stated he was going to do.]

You are remorseless. A demon.

I am, in fact, an actual demon, how did you figure it out?

My amazing powers of deduction and hours of dedicated investigation, naturally.

Oh and I suppose you told me and I saw it.

Truly, your skills astound me. Is this how a Speaker is chosen?

No, obviously that choice is based on more important merits. Such as the yankability of one's poor, maligned braid

Ah, of course, of course. I should have seen it. Shall we give you more, for more yankability? Does it grow your strength?

[Guess what he youtubed how to do. Make a braid. So he starts making a matching one on the opposite side.]

[That does catch him by surprise. That's HIS tactic.]

...

I thought you were attempting to keep my power in check.

[Thank Emet-Selch]

Hmm, right, should I be taking it out?

Or maybe I want to see just how arrogant you can get.

Powerful enough to take any foe, perhaps!

Hmm maybe we'll set you loose on Taisho then.

Have they vexed you?

Of course they have. We were fighting all morning yesterday. First with a new arrival, or rather who had been avante in the past, and then with a meeting to talk about how we go about games.

Arriving back on the wrong unit seems in vogue at the moment doesn't it...

But how did the meeting go?

Terrible. I was essentially told that requesting we don't kill my son was a terrible inconvenience, I'm a hypocrite for it, and that my family relationships don't count. Oh, also that my opinion isn't welcome and I shouldn't bother opening my mouth during games. So I'm washing my hands of it and they can do what they like.

....

What?

By Shu in particular, I should say, I wouldn't hold it against anyone else. And it was at least agreed to honour my wishes with regard to Nero. But they clearly have no interest in truly addressing what's wrong with what they're doing, why they're so hated, and I have no interest in arguing in circles with children.

I do not know your Shu. I suppose it would cause unnecessary drama if you impaled him for being insufferable? A pity.

Good, you wouldn't like him, so don't bother, he's a brat. They want to have some sort of party for him, so no, I don't think that would be taken well. Though I truly did have to hold myself back when he spoke of my family.

He does not sound terribly endearing, no.

But as I've said you're welcome here when you need a break. Though that will hardly help you in games.

I don't really care about games. I want the points, and I would naturally prefer not to die or be otherwise tormented, but it doesn't truly bother me. So I'm not concerned with that.

...Thank you, though. I'm not exactly feeling like hanging around there lately.

Was it just yesterday or is this a more pervasive feeling of displacement?
