[ercnerd]

I'm fine. I'm not the one who died or found the body.

[duranduel]

Well, obviously you aren't the one who died unless you're some sorta ghost-! But really...waking up from something like that...I know I'd be shaken.

[ercnerd]

Hmph, it'll take more than that to shake me.

[duranduel]

T-That's good.

[Sieghart seems like such a strong guy...]

[ercnerd]

[He's just old.]

. . . How's your head?

[duranduel]

Okay, for the most part. I've got a tough head. I'll be okay...

[ercnerd]

It'll be better off if you don't bang it in the first place.

[duranduel]

I-I won't...

[He feels like he's being lightly scolded by a parent...]

[ercnerd]

Oh, and sorry for pushing that silly game onto you the other day. I wasn't myself then.

[duranduel]

[Just looking at him for a moment.]

I don't understand. You didn't mean it...?

[ercnerd]

Yeah. Must have been something I ate. I was unusually energetic.

[duranduel]

To be honest...you're making it sound like you have some other personality or somethin'.

[ercnerd]

What was that?

[duranduel]

I mean, it's like...you apologizing for acting weird yesterday...it's not like you're actin' that different now...

[ercnerd]

I'm not so gung-ho about standing around and chatting away as I was on Saturday.

Anyway, that's all I had to say. Get some rest. And watch where you're going next time.

[duranduel]

[He's kind of just really looking at him with concern.]

I mean, I get it. I have those feelings too, where I just...don't want to talk to anyone. I-I'm not going to judge whatever's...going on.

[The words feel so awkward coming out of his mouth.]

Take care of yourself, Sieghart...?

[ercnerd]

[There's a brief pause as he looks at Mandricardo, before he turns away.]

. . . Yeah. You, too.

[duranduel]

...

[He's worried. Something about this isn't right, somehow.]

[But he doesn't want to say anything else, and just nods.]

...

[Curse awkwardness!]
