So Tempting To Just Splash Water All Over The Floor Now. He Huffs, Ready To Curl Up Again And Snooze,

@viciousrocket asked: “ please don’t question my driving or parking skills . you couldn’t even begin to understand the level i’m on . ”

"I think I can definitely understand what level yer on."

He doesn't like cars too much. They're a weird human invention. Boats were much better, even if he technically didn't need one himself.

"Just get us where we need to be."

"Well, yeah, I've seen a fair bi' o' it all. But I still haven't seen e'rythin'."

The ocean was vast, after all. And deep, too. The depths were rather scary... Even for him.

"Ya really wanna go down there?"

"The ocean is really pretty! Now that I live near it I want to be able to explore it"

She seemed to drift off in thought a .oment bwfore looking back at him.

" I bet youve explored a ton of it!"

"...I'm gonna be honest with ya. I have no idea. Usually jus' let it all pile up or ignore them. Then they eventually jus' go away on their own."

As for aggressive traits...

"I mean, I like breakin' stuff sometimes, an' I am no' afraid t'throw punches if needed. So yeah, I guess?"

"...Until I feel better?"

"BWAHAHAHA!!" So he was planning on starting shit with him when he felt better? Now that's funny. No, really, it hurts to laugh but fuck he's doing it. At this rate he's gonna pop his stitches.

"Lookin' forward to it." Archie grins, leaning a little closer. Been a while since he had a good fist fight, and a laugh, too.

"...I guess I can't force ya t'like me, tho'. Jus' felt like ya'd understand me a bit. Even if I'm a merfolk."

"Daaamn, really? Who would've thought bein' forced to be nice doesn't woooork."

Hey, he's shit at that. Who gives a shit. As far as he knows, he's not yelling or insulting him, so that's nice enough.

"Dude, don't flatter yourself. I don't hate ya.

Just don't like ya." a shrug "Simple as."

For no reason at all, of course. ...at least until he offers to punch him?!

"--huh??? Nah, hey-- nah. I promised Plumes I wasn't gonna start shit until ya feel better, and I'm fuckin' not taking a punch in the face and just sit here like, hoh, thank you for the free therapy!"

"The stripes were pretty nice, yeah!"

A grin. He's still proud of that design choice of his. Or maybe he just liked stripes? Who knew.

"BWAHAHA!! Ya know it!!" He slaps a hand against his scarred chest for emphasis, grinning an even toothier grin at the other.

"Nah, really, I jus' get hot easily. Ya want me t' close m'shirt?" Because he'll do it if asked. He's not that unreasonable (most of the time, anyway.)

"An' yer still rockin' the 'dana, huh? Gotta love the dedication."

His old boss really was the last fucking person on the planet he thought he'd be having a casual conversation with, but, life's full of surprise now, isn't it? Guess it also helped the guy probably had no clue about his stunt to steal Kyogre way back in the days.

Eh, even if he did know, who cared at this point? That was all so long ago...

That said, being complimented on his outfit of all things was a turn Lorenz didn't expect the conversation to take, given he literally dressed himself in the dark. But then again, with all the leather and shades of purple in his closet, his personal style had been nothing but consistent over the years.

"It's definitely not the same as when I worked for you, yeah." A brief chuckle. "But, y'know, I didn't hate the stripes. Kinda felt nice feeling like part of a club for a bit. At least I'm still carrying a lil' bit of us with me."

He pulled on his bandana, it was slightly faded but it still sported the emblem of the long gone organization. Really, it was a mark of some sick attachment to the bridges he burned and the friends he betrayed, but also a reminder that not everything in his years in Aqua was terrible. Not that Archie needed to know the specifics.

"Wish I could compliment your fit as well, but. Well." Jazz hands at his unfocused gaze. "Y'still making sure the world can ogle at your pecs at all times?"
