Part 855: Laurent A

Ah, there you are. I really must insist that you allow me to lay this misunderstanding to rest.

Creeps like you never know when to give up, do you?

I've told you time and again, I have no untoward inclinations toward you! None! Zero! Zip! Nought! Negatory! Absolutely, positively none!

So, you still refuse to fess up and mend your wicked ways? Then I have no choice but to call for aid!

...What?

Everybody, help! Come quick! Laurent is chasing me!

Augh! Stop it, you lunatic! I'll be run out of camp!

It's your own fault for going around ogling defenseless, adorable girls!

That is NOT what I'm doing!

So you're sticking with the claim that it's all just a big misunderstanding? Repeating it over and over won't make it true, Laurent. You'll have to do better.

I have little alternative, given that it is the truth! What else could I possibly say?

...All right, then.

Oh, thank the gods!

Let's pretend that for a moment that you're telling the truth and I'm mistaken.

That would mean that you DON'T think I'm hopelessly adorable!

You're quite charming, Nah, but that doesn't mean I bear any untold desires. You are an ally, the same as anyone else in the camp. I feel responsible for observing your actions and physical condition as part of my work. My only desire is to preserve your health.

Oh! Well, if it's required for you to do your job, I suppose there's no helping it.

...I've been saying that for weeks now.

Look, I'll try not to jump to any conclusions again in the future. Deal? ...Deal. (leaves)

Oh, thank heavens. My good reputation is preserved...
