Part 908: Robin B

Robin! There you are! Were you afraid I'd forgotten our date? Well, put your mind at ease. Here I am!

Hello, Inigo. Did all the other ladies turn you down again?

...How did you know?

The only time you talk to me is when you've run out of other women. You're an incredibly easy man to read. You know that, right?

*Sigh* Why are you so hostile to your poor, faithful friend, Inigo?

Please. Don't look at me with that hangdog expression. I'm sure you'll find another young lass who'll fall for your questionable charms.

Of course I will!

...Won't! I meant, of course I won't! I need no other woman but you!

......

Er...

S-stop staring at me like that. It's making me uncomfortable. Besides, it... it won't work. I'm telling you the truth!

Oh, really? Look into my eyes, and tell me that again.

I... I'm not lying... T-truly, I'm not... ARGH! Okay, you win! I'm lying! Damn it, Robin! I just can't get past you, can I?

The sooner you learn that, the better. When you see a woman, all you think of is how to seduce her. Everyone knows it.

Waaait a minute... I see what's happening... You're jealous! I'm flattered, of course, but I must confess I'm also a bit disappointed. I didn't imagine a lady of your stature to succumb to the green-eyed monster.

Oh, for the love of... Nothing could be further from the truth!

Oh, I think I touched a nerve...

Gods, but talking to you is an infuriating experience! Why don't you try doing something useful? Outside of battle, I mean. If you managed that even once, I might consider having tea with you. But as it is--

Aha! Then we have a deal!

...And I'll be leaving now, before you can change your mind. Ta-ta! (leaves)

Wait! Inigo! I was just...

*Siiiiiigh*
