All right, ladies and gentleman and gentlepeople! It's time for the main event! That's right, it's what you've all been waiting for!

BEETLE BATTLE TIME

At 3 o'clock, at the park, we're gonna bring our toughest, meanest, more ferocious beasties to battle it out! Who will be the best of them all and take home the prize!

[ jinx pulls back to reveal the prize which is a fancy look trophy, gleaming and bright. normally, she'd put her trademark style on it, but if she wants a wider appeal, she has to go . . . sighs, corporate. ]

And of course, I will be supervising and commentating! Join us for fun! The glam! The honour!

Jinx out!

Most people don't, but I figured you would.

[Attitude appreciates attitude, feels like. That's the vibe he's gotten so far, so he's glad his read isn't totally off.]

[Okay, that is kind of funny.]

You're not wrong, there. Especially when it comes to robots.

I think it's less boring and more... "not annoying". For most people they can be a bit much.

[Sometimes even for him...]

[He chuckles quietly. Fair.]

Is there anything that annoys you?

You're a lot more reasonable than most of the people I knew growing up. Although, that's not a high bar to cross, I'll admit.

Reasonable on your own terms, I should specify. The whole... forcing a change. Many underestimate how valuable a trait it is, having the willpower to not do that.

[Ah... that's... familiar, in a way.]

People don't belong in boxes. We fight too much, eventually we'll just break out. The ones who put you in are never going to be satisfied with what comes out.

Yet they're the ones who complain the most about it, aren't they?

[It's at that moment Athrun realizes he's pushing this too far, probably. It's an awfully personal line of thought to get into over the phone (device, whatever).]

Ah... sorry. I shouldn't make assumptions. Kind of projecting a little, on that one.

Part of being human, I guess. Or- a person in general, considering.

[Lots of non-humans amongst the outsiders, after all. Himself half included, depending on who you ask.]

I'm not going to claim to be an expert. I've had too many people course-correct me for that.

[ scream ]

...I should let you get back to your beetles before I put any more feet in my mouth.

I-I'm not trying to...

[What does that even mean! Does she think he's- oh no. Abort, abort.]

...Nevermind.
