I must sound convincing if I must make jest, correct?

[bewrightback]

Well, you don't always have to! It's alright if you make it obvious sometimes, or even just hint at it!

[divinable]

Provide me an example.

[bewrightback]

Um... Okay, how about this?

[He goes on with a very fake-sounding tone, while maintaining a friendly smile:]

Hey, Your Benevolence! You're looking pretty rotten today!

[divinable]

[ ka-tonk! phoenix gets hit in the gut! ]

How dare you insult me so blatantly!

[bewrightback]

Ack!!

I- I didn't mean it, though!

[divinable]

Take it back, take it back!

[bewrightback]

Consider it taken back! It was never even... truly sent out to begin with!

[divinable]

I heard it come straight out of your mouth.

[ she crosses her arms and puffs her cheeks. ]

[bewrightback]

Yes, but didn't the way I said them sound a little... fake?

[divinable]

Fake?

No, I do not think so. Say it again.

[bewrightback]

Again? Well, if you say so...

[He clears out his throat, and then he tries to lay on the fake-sounding tone even harder.]

Hey, Your Benevolence... You're looking pretty rotten today!

[divinable]

[ she closes her eyes as she listens and even grumbles... what an awful joke. she still doesn't like it! but she can tell that he doesn't mean it this time around. ]

Barbed Head. You must never say that again, even as a means of jest.

[bewrightback]

Of course! It... it was a really bad example, I know. Your Benevolence, you're actually looking very... benevolent!

[divinable]

Naturally. And you are looking as barbed headed as usual.

[bewrightback]

Why thank you! That's exactly the look I was going for! [He laughs as he pokes at one of the barbs in question. Youch! What is in my hair gel?!]

[divinable]

Is there anything else you wish to give me, or talk about?

[bewrightback]

Nope.

[divinable]

Then you are dismissed.

[bewrightback]

...This was a good talk! And if you need me, I'll be... well, somewhere in this house!

[He waves meekly before he just... walks away.]
