Vine: What do you mean by that?

Elm: Yeah, what are you going on about?

Ren: I think she's referring to how similar to each other the pairs of us are.

Vine: I don't see much similarity.

Ren: Neither did I at first, but Nora helped me understand.

Elm: Yeah? And what exactly do we have in common?

Nora: Well, first off, we're both partners of boys and girls!

Elm: We're on the same team. We don't use a partner system like you kids at Beacon.

Ren: You're put together based on how cohesive your unit appears, correct?

Elm: Yeah. Somebody else chooses who's put with who.

Ren: And who decides that?

Vine: The base commander at the time. In our case, it was General Steele.

Nora: Yeah, but it means you two were together for a long time, right?

Vine: 10 years of service is hardly a long time.

Elm: Heh... Maybe for you, but I can't remember the last time my bones didn't ache.

Nora: Wow! You two have spent that much time together? You could almost say you grew up together!

Elm: Well, not really grow up, but we have been on the same team since the academy.

Nora: So, you're a duo of a tall, thin boy and a buff, thicc girl who have been together for a long time, and just so happen to be closer to each other than anyone else?

Elm: We're not close.

Ren: You're not?

Elm: No, we're not.

Nora: Are you suuure~?

Elm: I already said no!

Vine: Calm yourself, Elm. There's no need to get angry at these children.

Ren: That's enough, Nora. They might not realize it yet.

Elm/Nora: Yeah, you're right. Sorry, Vine/Ren.

Elm: !

Vine: !

Nora: (Cheeky grin)

Ren: (Wiseass smirk)

Vine: ...I believe this conversation is doing more harm than good.

Elm: Yeah. I'm not gonna play around with you kids and your crazy ideas right now.

Nora: Okay~! Later~! (Leaves)

Ren: Until then. (Leaves)

Elm: Can you believe those two? Psh... Kids these days...

Vine: They're young. It's no different from how we were at their age.

Elm: Except we weren't butting into other people's business?

Vine: Really? I must have imagined your embarrassment at attempting to play matchmaker with Specialist Ebi and Bree.

Elm: (Flushes) Could you not bring that up so loud?

Vine: Of course. I wouldn't want to agitate you worse than your "aching bones".

Elm: Gee, thanks for bringing that up, too...

Vine: If you'd like, I can provide some assistance. I'm trained in massage, acupuncture, and chiropractic adjustment.

Elm: You sure? I've got a lot for you to work with.

Vine: I assure you, what you have is nothing I cannot handle.

Elm: (Smiles)

Vine: (Smiles)

@thatguythatdrawsalot's au still has me in a chokehold I dooo think Tyrian is sure of his feelings and in the same time doesn't care much for titles (especially if Watts feels the same way), what Tyr isn't ready for is middle school level of nagging
