Fitz is trying to control himself, for about 5 different reasons, but Devin's very good at pushing his buttons lmao

sealrat

Devin's good at that

[laughing]

Do you have any preferences? Because I could see this going fairly badly and both mostly retaining control, or one blowing up then the other following suit maybe, or some bickering but then they find common ground, idk.

Fitz definitely supports the Fool having friends, especially someone who cares about him so obviously. He's not a complete asshole XD

But he's miffed at the Fool kind of not wanting him around (though he knows he said something stupid), he's annoyed that they both think he's going to run off and do something really stupid, blah blah blah.

(not that that's completely outside the realms of possibility XD)

I think i'd eventually want it to go well lol, but this instance can go sideways if it needs to. Devin's trying to see how much it takes to rile Fitz as a bit of a test sooooo

Oh good, I'd like it to eventually be good too.

[laughs] fair enough, fair enough

he's aware that Devin is being provocative, but that doesn't stop him from feeling the provocation; if Devin keeps pushing then he'll probably snap and walk off

Devin will possibly follow him lol

He's speedy

Just like /zoom
'so, where were we'

lmfao

Fitz would try not to snap at him especially for the Fool's sake, but yeah, he isn't always smart and has a temper, so I guess this could go as sideways as we want it to~

tbf Devin's not going to be upset or disappointed if Fitz gets snippy, this is just how he takes the measure of some people lol

That and he likes trying to make people think he's an asshole, but that's a different problem

oh that's interesting

He has a thing about attachments and not having them

ack that's not great

He keeps failing at properly pushing people away here, though, because he's stuck and can't run away

I have forced friendships upon him, because he's built for people

Good

Everyone needs friends darn it

yesss

/popcorns

oh no...I just realized that Valdis has no idea who Fitz is, but she has now seen him in the Fool's memories

Oh hello that's lovely

er, given the content, not ALWAYS lovely lmao

poor Fool

Devin is like 'test is in session now'

Rude

ok...but now I'm imagining Devin doing that and giggling

because I'm tired

pffft

I can look for gifs

omg

Devin you are terrible

yes, yes he is

he's being super unfair, too, Fitz doesn't know about the protection racket bit yet

Devin? Unfair? no

It's not his fault though

he's being unfair on purpose though lol

just to see what Fitz does, if he asks questions, that kind of thing

Hehehe

Damn him lmao

stalking this so hard

this is going great

pfft. Devin

don't ask Valdis that question, ever

she'll just everyone

well see he knows that because he knows her Fitz is mostly a mystery

Rude Devin....assuming she'll murder people

pfft. he knows her limits or lack thereof, it's not an assumption lol. he's aware she can have self control too

/laughing

oh that's beautiful lol

:V :V :V

>.>

'so you figured out what i was doing, but you also didn't figure out what i was doing'

Lmao

Yeah he only knows so much

Presenting: Devin, the butthole

proooobably won't let his affronted pride get in the way of helping but he doesn't like not knowing the full situation- that's bad enough if he's following orders from someone he knows and trusts

Devin will probably tell him more if he can grit his teeth and get through it lol

Not much point in withholding information for any longer than necessary

makes sense hee

eheheheh

oh snap

Now to decide if Devin is just going to follow /ponders

I love that the Fool was pre-apologizing for Fitz being rude
And then Devin does this.

What a git

lmao it's beautiful

if Devin hadn't been preloaded with expecting Fitz to be a dumb asshole then Fitz probably would've been more of a dumb asshole XD

Fitz really should be asking Devin all kinds of questions, but he's miffed and dumb
