His father, huh ... ?

That's pretty thoughtful of you, Caesar.

text;

[mylegacy]

He'd do the same for me.

text;

[ino]

The two of you are that close, then?

text;

[mylegacy]

He's my best friend.

text;

[ino]

[ Uh-oh. Did Jojo get friendzoned ... ]

How long have you two known each other for?

text;

[mylegacy]

[No, Caesar friendzoned himself.]

Not long. A few months. But it's different when you're fighting. It felt like longer.

text;

[ino]

Yeah, I know what you mean.

You must have had some time to talk if you know about things like what you were mentioning, though, right?

text;

[mylegacy]

We had some time. Not at first, we didn't really get along, but later. He always talked more than I did.

text;

[ino]

Why didn't you get along?

[ She can hazard many guesses, but ... ]

text;

[mylegacy]

I didn't like him because he was an idiot and didn't have any idea what his family had done to mine. He didn't like me because . . .

[Well.]

He thought I was disrespectful. And fake.

text;

[ino]

What his family did to yours?

[ Whoa, what now. ]

Fake, huh ...

text;

[mylegacy]

It's complicated. His grandfather got my grandfather killed. But he didn't mean to, apparently.

You know. Trying to be something I'm not.

text;

[ino]

That does sound complicated. Glad you guys resolved it, though.

Were you?

text;

[mylegacy]

[There's a few minutes' pause.]

Yes. But don't tell him I said that.

text;

[ino]

[ She's a little glad this is text, because she's kinda laughing now ]

It'll be just between us.

text;

[mylegacy]

Good.

Why are you so interested all of a sudden?

text;

[ino]

What do you mean?

text;

[mylegacy]

You never really asked about what we did back home. Not me, anyway. Maybe you asked him.

text;

[ino]

There wasn't really much of an opportunity to before? & I didn't really want to push you to talk about stuff before.

[ You know, when you were upset and couldn't sleep ... ]

I'm always curious about my friends and where they come from and stuff. :)

text;

[mylegacy]

Oh.

[Spoilers Caesar is really bad at people. So this is mildly confusing to him.]

Did you want to know anything else?

text;

[ino]

[ Oh, no, so awkward ... so cute ... ]

What kind of question is that?

text;

[mylegacy]

A very straightforward one, I thought.

text;

[ino]

It's not like there's a certain quota I'm trying to meet, here. That's not how getting to know someone works.

text;

[mylegacy]

[Fuss, fuss.]

Well, if there was something else you wanted to know, I would tell you.

text;

[ino]

You shouldn't say that, I'll ask all of the questions.
