You had never met me before, right? The me that was there. The beast, or whatever.

[lapidarius]

Not like that, I don't think so. Why?

[mylegacy]

It just seemed like I was really horrible. I wanted to make sure you didn't have to deal with that.

[lapidarius]

What? No, you were actually really nice to me. It was kind of surprising at the time, but it makes a little more sense now.

[mylegacy]

All right. Good. I'd have to kick my own ass, somehow.

[lapidarius]

If you asked nicely I might have done that for you.

[mylegacy]

I think you would've done it whether I asked or not.

[lapidarius]

Probably, if you deserved it.

[mylegacy]

Whoever that was would've deserved it.

[lapidarius]

It's okay, Caesar. You were nice to me, I didn't stab you, everything more or less worked out.

[mylegacy]

And you didn't get eaten by anything.

[lapidarius]

[P A U S E]

Right.

[mylegacy]

. . . what

[lapidarius]

What?

[mylegacy]

You hesitated.

[lapidarius]

I didn't hesitate, I just wasn't looking at my watch.

[NOTHING HAPPENED, GEEZ]

[mylegacy]

Okay.

But if you died again and I find out later, you're grounded.

[lapidarius]

If it was that bad, I would tell you. I promise.

I'm okay. Nothing that I can't deal with.

[mylegacy]

That's not at all reassuring.

[lapidarius]

Trust me. I just got into a fight, and I've come out of plenty of those before.

[mylegacy]

Oh.

I'm not worried then.

[lapidarius]

You aren't?

[mylegacy]

No, if it was just a fight there's no reason to worry. You win those.

[lapidarius]

Most of the time, of course.

[mylegacy]

Often enough that I trust you.
