[astute viewers who know Kaz well and regularly come in contact with him will notice that he doesn't look like himself today. to everyone else, he'll just look sleepy--slightly disheveled, an occasional tiny yawn mumbled every so often, a voice that carries a faintly strained sounding edge to it--and act only a little off; as if he's forcing

...and just why would you like to talk to me?

[There's a very suspicious note in his voice.]

[spawnedbywar]

Don't sound so disgusted. What could be so bad about talking to me?

Video // Private

[ysobritish]

I'm not disgusted. I'm wary. You mentioned me specifically. Something on your mind?

Video // Private

[spawnedbywar]

Well, yeah. I need to ask a favor from you; one of utmost importance and severity that could very well change how this base is operated. I've weighed the factors on this one and you're the only person who I can ask that even remotely fits the bill.

[There is a momentary pause.]

Go ahead. I'm listening.

[spawnedbywar]

Good. [very visibly relieved, deep breath.]

[spawnedbywar]

I need your bed.

[ysobritish]

No.

[Short and sweet. Liquid smiles coolly.]

What's wrong? Father's isn't big enough?

Come on! The other beds on this floor suck! Yours is the only one I haven't tried yet that might not hurt my back.

[that was a low blow, sir.] We aren't rooming together anymore. Clearly he lied to me about not having any other beds; I don't appreciate being tricked like that.

[ysobritish]

...yes, I'm sure that's why you were sharing his bed. You two need to learn to keep it down.

[Good grief, was he really worried about this man?]

Fine. You can try it for tonight. I've slept on worse places than the floor.

[spawnedbywar]

I-I wasn't making that up! He really did lie to me. You've got the wrong impression!

Really? [well that went better than expected.] You're sure you don't mind?

Video // Private

[ysobritish]

Yes, I'm sure. [Sarcastic Liquid is sarcastic.]

For tonight. And as I said, I've slept in worse places.

[spawnedbywar]

You obviously haven't known him for very long. He's like a big baby in that everything upsets him, and if he can't solve his problems with words, he has nothing against using his fists. That's what happened.

You could always try one of the other beds. They'd be a tiny step up from sleeping on the floor, I think.

[ysobritish]

Uh huh.

It's just one night. It's not as if I sleep much any way.

Video // Private

[spawnedbywar]

You think I'm lying, don't you.

Can't imagine why.

[ysobritish]

Hm... I wonder why that might be...
