Did you guys work pretty well together, then? If they were willing to have a discussion about it once everyone knew.

Haha, yeah. Everyone who wanted to sabotage them was already dead.

Oh...

[oh.]

-- ah, but none of those people are here, so it's fine.

I mean, it's fine now, but if those people aren't alive by the end, doesn't that mean you were stuck with them for a while?

... well, it wasn't that bad for me. I think I am pretty good at handling people like that?

Did messing with them help?

[he's joking, probably.]

It always helps! I recommend it.

Okay, important follow up question. When you say that... Are you also messing with me?

This is a subject that I am very serious about.

[ unfortunately true ]

You mean, messing with people?

Specifically, surprising people!

It keeps your heart young.

What's the difference between messing with people and surprising them, to you?

Surprising someone comes from a place of good, pure intentions.
