[ audio ] ♫ the second song

[steelpython]

I guess I'll be going on that cruise, then. Seems like a nice, maybe even relaxing way to get to know the place on the outside, then work my way in. Not my usual way of doing things, but I might as well grasp the opportunity as it sails past.

And since I never mentioned this before in my last post, I thought I'd just get this out there in the open:

A gun, huh?

How'd you manage to find out so quick?

[steelpython]

I'm a quick learner, and even before that, I assumed so because I always used guns. Like an extension of my arm, my darlings were.

[alastinglight]

[Thinks about this.]

I use a sword, primarily.

[Maybe that'll help.]

I don't claim to know how becoming a weapon works around here, but it seems like a man who's already mastered a certain type of weapon before being changed by BREW is likely to become that weapon.

Though it sure gets embarrassing when you find out and have nobody around to wield you. Y'just fall to the ground like a fish out of water. [laughs almost embarrassingly]

[alastinglight]

I'll... keep that in mind.

Did you have trouble changing back?

Video;

[steelpython]

It took a little time, but it wasn't so hard. Why, with just a little practice, I'll have this transformation thing down in no time. Much easier than mastering the actual shooting part.

[alastinglight]

Which would then make you an ideal partner.

[Hm.]

I'll have to hurry and figure things out on my end.

Video;

[steelpython]

Don't think too hard about it, son. It'll take some time, sure, but it'll come to you as natural as breathin' in no time.

[alastinglight]

...I suppose you're right.

[Reluctant, though. He hates feeling useless.]

[steelpython]

Sounds like someone just ran your puppy over. Something weighing on your mind?

Video;

[alastinglight]

[Oh, uh.]

I'd rather not talk about it.

Video;

[steelpython]

[Laughs, raising his hands] That's fine, I can respect a man's privacy.

Video;

[alastinglight]

...Still, after the way I pressed you before, I suppose I owe you a story. Maybe when it's a little less fresh for me.

Video;

[steelpython]

You don't owe me anything, since it didn't really bother me at all... but if you even need an ear, I can lend it.

Video;

[alastinglight]

I'll keep that in mind.
