Oh, because I'm SUCH a charming person. :P
That's something I don't think even you can instill in me, teach.

Ugh, you sound like you're doing awesome.
I only got one of mine because it was too nervous to actually fight back.
Even though it's like 10 times the size of my other cubits.
Getting him to relax has been harder than getting this Glooish to STOP relaxing.

[singlelogbridge]

Don't be ridiculous, you can be charming when you want to. I've seen you when you call me by that RIDICULOUS title that I never should have taught you!!!

And in your defense, I'm cheating. The ghost type are drawn to me and we can communicate with each other. I met one Cubit that wasn't a ghost type and it took me 3 hours to get it to even come my way!

[shadysided]

Yeah yeah, and every mom thinks their kid is the cutest baby.

Doesn't always make it true, Wei-gege.

Do you really hear them talk? I mean, they actually use a language you can understand? Because I swear, half these trainers talk to them like they're NOT only saying their names over and over in different ways.

[singlelogbridge]

UGH see? I'm charmed! I am falling over onto the ground from the force of it!

I do understand them, but the language isn't as complex as human language. At least I don't think it is. I can see how people are able to communicate with them even if they don't understand it exactly.

Are you going to be dong cubit training then? Battles and all?

1/2

[shadysided]

I had to fight rolling my eyes so hard just now, only because I know you'd expect it by now. Just thought you should know. And — yeah, I guess I am. The best way to get around this place and make it up some ranks is battling, right?

It just feels kind of weird. But, I don't know. The Cubits seem to LOVE it.
Like a bunch of rowdy boxers in a ring who like getting punched.

[shadysided]

Except the Seaquaza. He's got anxiety.

[singlelogbridge]

[He snorts, picturing it.]

Will any of your matches have an audience?

[shadysided]

Is that a question posed specifically because you're trying to sneak in and watch one of my matches?

[singlelogbridge]

Sneaking? Who said anything about sneaking? You know I've seen some matches sell merchandise for their favored teams. Do they make t-shirts for you? I suppose I can make one myself. What color do you think best represents your team?

[shadysided]

Oh my GOD please do NOT show up in a shirt with my face on it.

[singlelogbridge]

Can they make shirts like that??? How about flags? Ziggy don't you want me to come cheer you on? Would you deprive your poor Laoshi of this moment of pride and joy?

[shadysided]

Oh, great, I've just given you weird ideas.
... If I let you cheer from the side, will you promise NOT to make shirts or flags?

[Don't let her fool you, Wei Wuxian, the fact that a brother-in-spirit would come to any of her extracurricular activities makes her heart full.]

[singlelogbridge]

I am a man of my word, Ziggy. Which is why I can't make that promise.

[shadysided]

You're the worst.


... But I guess that just means I need to show up to your battles, too...
maybe do something to embarrass you back.

[singlelogbridge]

Unfortunately for you, I'm not a trainer and don't have any battles to attend. But you are more than welcome to cheer on my research!

[shadysided]

Wait, really?
People can just choose to do other stuff than be trainers?

[AND HERE SHE THOUGHT IT WAS A REQUIRMENT.]

It seems like everyone and their mom are trainers around here.

[singlelogbridge]

Of course they can! I'm a researcher instead. I'll admit I'm a little sad to miss out on battling myself, but that just means I get to spend more time watching you!

[shadysided]

Yipee for me...
I guess that means I can expect for you to show up in the crowd just when I put my guard down.
If I win, btw, you have to get me a victory gift. 😌

[singlelogbridge]

what kind of teacher would I be if I didn't reward my student? And in that case, you better send me a schedule of your matches!

[shadysided]

Fine, fine, I will!
Scout's honor. ✋✨

[singlelogbridge]

I'll be waiting for it!
