To be honest, I'm not really sure either. I guess I'm just trying to remember what it felt like when I was actually confident. Or at least try to find a point where I wasn't just pretending to be.

[mylegacy]

Do you think you can be both at the same time? Confident and not.

[lapidarius]

Yeah. I think it might even be better that way in some cases. Being completely confident about something tends to lead into acting like an idiot, so having some level of doubt might be better to keep someone grounded.

[mylegacy]

Or it might make you doubt yourself in the situations where you shouldn't, and then get cocky when you should think twice.

[lapidarius]

I guess it would depend on the circumstances, really.

[mylegacy]

Does everybody think about this kind of thing but me?

[lapidarius]

I don't know. I think a lot in general, that's kind of what I do.

[lapidarius]

[. . .]

I don't really know about you, but I could probably stand to get out for a while. So on the off chance you wanted to meet up somewhere, I think I could do that.

[mylegacy]

Isn't it supposed to be dangerous out at night?

[lapidarius]

I can kill or disable just about anything within fifty meters and I'm pretty sure you can handle yourself just as well. Do you honestly think we'd be in any real danger?

[mylegacy]

I don't know. Maybe it's just me not thinking again.

Tell me where to meet you.

[lapidarius]

Do you know where the toy store is, near the city's center? Meet me just outside of it--there's a quiet place on the second floor that we can stay for a while. I doubt anyone will really bother us there, least of all at this time.

[sorry jojo your keys are getting borrowed]

[mylegacy]

The toy store?

[Why . . . but okay . . .]

Fine. See you soon.

[lapidarius]

[for god's sake caesar just trust his judgment and let him show you where the mafia's probably gonna start hanging out]

[it's totally cool]

[BUT WHATEVER he would just be waiting patiently with stolen liberated borrowed keys in hand and Hierophant hanging around next to him.]

Didn't have too much trouble getting here, did you?

[mylegacy]

Of course not. It's not like it's a huge city or anything.

[Caesar looks. Normal? Maybe slightly grumpier than usual. His hands are shoved in his pockets to protect against the breeze.]

[lapidarius]

You're the one that said it was dangerous.

[Shrugging, he opened the door and started upstairs and oh lookit that, it's actually kinda okay in here.]

[mylegacy]

[. . . Damnit, he can't think of anything rude to say. SHIT. Following Kakyoin anyway.]

I meant from the wildlife.

Why did you want to come here, anyway? I thought you meant a walk or something.

[lapidarius]

If you wanted to do that, we could. I just thought it'd be nice to have somewhere quiet and solitary where we wouldn't get jumped by a wendigo.

[mylegacy]

. . . I'm fine with this, thanks.

[lapidarius]

That's kind of what I thought.

[mylegacy]

You don't have to be so smug about it.

[lapidarius]

Sorry, sorry. I'll stop.

[mylegacy]

I'll believe that when I see it.

[lapidarius]

[you get the world's most Innocent Smile in response, caesar.]
