[The mention of Zhongli makes Pat bristle, just a bit.

That being said--]

You missed Eunie very nearly punching his lights out.

[switchaxe]

Really? Shit, think she'll give me an encore?

[infezione]

Wouldn't hurt to ask, I think. I sure wouldn't mind seeing her actually do it.

[Wow, and this is coming from someone who mostly doesn't mind Zhongli.]

[switchaxe]

Hell yeah.

[Look the old man fucked up. Pat is valid.]

I'll ask when we get Albarea back.

[infezione]

Good.

[... Okay, he's got to complain, sorry, Ash--]

The fucking nerve, I swear to Christ-- Trying to step in with Jusis's methods to calm me down like he did--

[He won't deny that he needed to calm down, but the thought of Zhongli encroaching on a role that belongs solely to Jusis in his mind... Fuck.]

[switchaxe]

[Eh it's fine.]

Look, I don't think the old man thinks unless it involves history and doin' his job. He probably thought it'd help or some shit.

[infezione]

Yeah. I know he was trying to help, but it just pissed me off more. Still pisses me off, even.

[He slumps against Ash a bit.]

[switchaxe]

[He just pats Pat's shoulder.]

We can kick his ass later, don't worry.

[infezione]

[He hums in acknowledgement.]

... Complaining helped a little, at least.

[He snorts.]

[switchaxe]

If you need to bitch more, have it.

[infezione]

Doesn't feel like there's a lot else to say, honestly. Other than me being pissed off that he asked about Jusis's methods, specifically.

[He grumbles, then sighs.]

... I want to put all the blame for this squarely on his shoulders, but I know that's not right.

[switchaxe]

Eh, we can blame him for not tellin' us and swearin' the others to silence?

[infezione]

We can blame him for that, yeah. Fuck.

[switchaxe]

It made all this bullshit worse, so fuck 'im.

[infezione]

Couldn't have said it better myself.
