[IT'S A MEME, HE CAN'T LIE]

We're gonna rob him.

[phaseshifter]

Oh! Counter-banditry! So freaking cool.

[devoutish]

Yes, but it's a secret from Watson, so we're all very lucky this conversation here isn't real, aren't we.

[phaseshifter]

So meta. Why is it a secret from him, though? You don't think he'd approve?

[devoutish]

Either he'd try to stop us and get in the way, or he wouldn't try to stop us and he'd be consumed with guilt over it.

[phaseshifter]

...Okay, the guilt thing I can buy. I thought I was overly ready to assume responsibility for the actions of others, but geez...

[devoutish]

Yes, better to save him from himself.

[phaseshifter]

Hee. I know you're all about claiming you're a bad guy, but you're a good friend. I assume you don't need me to tell you that, though.

[devoutish]

Oh, but he'll be angry if he finds out.

[Alfie is still unrepentant.]

[phaseshifter]

But when you care about someone, it's better they're angry at you than angry at themselves because of you. Right?

[devoutish]

That sounds far more noble than the truth.

Really, I just do not care if he gets angry at me over this.

[phaseshifter]

Really? Even if he stays angry?

[devoutish]

I know him. He won't.

[phaseshifter]

I don't think he will, either, but. That's not what I asked.

[devoutish]

What if he turned into a pig and flew away, Angel? What then?

[phaseshifter]

You're awfully set on avoiding answering that one, aren't you.

[devoutish]

I don't see the point. Yes, I would do things differently if the situation was different. That's no surprise, is it.

[phaseshifter]

I suppose it isn't surprising, no. It's just - you always seem so, uh. Unflappable, I guess? So reminders that you care are always welcome. I'm teasing you. A bit.

[devoutish]

You already think I'm puffing myself up about being a bad sort of man; I'd hate to encourage you more.

[phaseshifter]

I don't think you're puffing yourself up, exactly. Just oversimplifying. Especially considering my own ideas of what makes a bad person, obviously.

[devoutish]

Ah - but I'm not. I've never said that a bad man is all that I am.

[phaseshifter]

But it's what you put emphasis on! And personally I'd slot you into the not-quite-bad category.

[devoutish]

I put my emphasis on it when other people try to oversimplify it - telling me that I'm a nice man on the inside, that I'm covering that up.

[phaseshifter]

Wait - you're telling me that you aren't a complete teddy bear on the inside? The gangster thing isn't just a front to cover up your rampant urges to hug everyone you see?

[devoutish]

You're very funny.
