[ inhale, exhale. the heat is not going to overpower her. it will not.
but she still won't openly accept his extension so easily. ]
You're doing well pointing out a need for me to loosen up.
[ you should know better that her meeting people in person isn't something to encourage, especially if she's going to carry her sword around. ]
Whether or not I am available for such a field trip, I am not attending a children's party for those motives alone when I can do very much the same through this device.
[ ...haha! he can sense the vitriol even in her text.
it seems his first try had failed, though considering the recipient of his offer, that was to be expected. he'd hoped to avoid any measure of humbling himself but unfortunately, that has presented itself as the next best option. ]
Children's party? It's no such thing. Don't you remember the requirements of this place? You'll have to be on your toes for a suitable encounter.
You insult me thinking I'm not already. [ meaning: business done. at least... for one side that hadn't been hers... ] You insult me more attempting to make this seem beneficial for my adaptation to this place.
[ ...my, she works fast. and in hindsight, it certainly had been thoughtless to expect they would have similar experiences in that way. it makes it all the more defining how poorly he'd been functioning here. ]
Very well. I'd enjoy your company. How much further can I elaborate?
Even the most vile company can be preferable to attending a gathering alone.
[ probably not the most persuasive comment to make but it at least absolves him of any strange vibe of friendliness that was tacked onto his request. ]
[ touché. vile company that she is, she believes she's at least better than that sloppy-mouthed girl her brother was playing with.
but all right. all right. as he's being so insistent—plus his words are becoming more taxing to read than to extort—finally: ]
Fine. I will do you this favour, on the condition we make no associations with each other. I believe it would benefit the both of us to pretend we're strangers.
[ she simply doesn't want to be associated with a mutt like you so soon, though it would have been foolish of giovanni to have hoped for better from her. ]
[ —promptly deleted and withheld. though she'd wanted to ask him about what he knows about magato, she decides she'll find out what she wants to know on her own and leaves their conversation at that. ]
[ perhaps that's for the best. it seemed Magato knew more of Giovanni than he did of him. in any case, his implied concurrence ends the conversation. indeed, he would see her soon. ]

But elaborate on your "personal interest."

I'm a little surprised.

As you say.
