[A tinge of pink.]

I-It is only because I refused to keep the earlier more ridiculous styles he forced upon me. Why are you calling him grandfather?

[greatdeduction]

Because he's over a hundred years old, my dear fellow. He's a very old sword.

[winebar]

... What do you mean he's a sword?

[greatdeduction]

He's a sword! In his world, when an object exists for over one hundred years, they can develop a soul. He's the soul of a sword. I saw his memory.

[winebar]

I... see.
[That may as well be true.]

I suppose that explains why his sword has the same name.

[greatdeduction]

Yes, indeed! That's him.

So he's a grandfather. He's far older than you and I.

[winebar]

But he is not your grandfather, Sholmes.

[greatdeduction]

He is not, but its fun to call him that! He doesn't seem to mind.

[winebar]

He's a strange and stubborn man who cannot even follow simple instructions.

[greatdeduction]

See? You see he's just an old man. Don't give him a hard time.

[winebar]

I was assigned a room with miss Mikotoba, which was obviously untenable. I intended to sleep in the common area, but miss Sheba insisted I take her place in the room she was assigned with Mr Kuninaga while she shared with miss Mikotoba.

I insisted Mr Kuninaga stay on his side of the bed but he will not.

[greatdeduction]

It's okay. Just let grandfather have his fun.

Though don't touch his sword. He'll cut your head off.

[winebar]

... Noted. I wasn't intending to. I simply wish for him to stop trying to cuddle with me.

[greatdeduction]

....He's cuddling you?

[winebar]

He has attempted to, yes. He claims that he cannot help it when he is asleep.

[greatdeduction]

If he can't help it, he can't help it! So it is!

[winebar]

Well what am I supposed to do about it!?

[greatdeduction]

Put a barrier between you, perhaps?

[winebar]

[Hm.]

I suppose that could work. Good thinking.

[greatdeduction]

[BEAMING]

Mr. Van Zieks thinks I think well! But of course!

[PRAISE!!]

[winebar]

At times. Do not get ahead of yourself.

[greatdeduction]

[he's just 😊 right now]

[winebar]

This is why I don't like paying you compliments.

[greatdeduction]

And this is why I like you paying me compliments!

[winebar]

How is your ego so bloated and so fragile at the same time?
