in which Yotsuba and Accelerator are cute and tsundere respectively

[velocivector]

[It's evening, and Accelerator is just leaving the Milk Dipper with an albino puppy on a leash. A curious little Australian cattle dog puppy who immediately snuffles off to sniff at things because she is a dog, what do you expect.]

Oi, you! We're going the other direction.

. . . Hold on a moment.

[digs his cell phone out]

[404leafclover]

[I'mma get up and try to look over your shoulder]

[velocivector]

[going through the pictures. He shows her one of Ammy and Chibi]

Is this them?

[404leafclover]

Yeah!

You should fight crime.

[velocivector]

They're wolves, you know. Friendly ones, but still wolves.

[not that he has anything against wolves, mind you]

[gonna wait on her response to go back to the other thing she said]

[404leafclover]

Oh! So they're magical wolves, then. Okay.

[... :T]

[velocivector]

Could be, might not.

. . . Why did you suggest fighting crime, by the way?

[404leafclover]

They're definitely magical!

Because, you would look really cool together!

[velocivector]

. . . I don't need animals to fight crime with. Rather, they're better off not getting involved.

[404leafclover]

But...

Magic, Accel!

[velocivector]

Magic and I don't mix well, brat!

[flicks her forehead gently]

[also, the puppy has probably padded over to sniff at Yotsuba]

[404leafclover]

Gah! Why not?

[leaning over to pet it]

[velocivector]

[She's a pretty friendly dog. doing the hand sniffing and licking thing]

It's complicated. Just forget about it. Besides, I work better alone, with other people splitting off to do their own thing instead.

[404leafclover]

[giggling a little at that, and pats her on the head]

You should at least have a sidekick.

[velocivector]

I don't need one.

[he supposes WORST could act as one since she can be useful but hahahahahaha]

[404leafclover]

You do if you wanna be a good superhero.

[velocivector]

Oi. I know I said I do some of that sort of thing, but it's not like I have to abide by everyone's expectations.

[404leafclover]

But don't you get lonely?

[velocivector]

No. I have people elsewhere. I don't need to fight alongside them.

[404leafclover]

[:T...]

[shoulderbonk]

[velocivector]

[bonks her forehead with a fist before putting his cell phone away]

Don't sulk like that. Some things you just can't change, brat.

[404leafclover]

You just don't wanna admit that you like people.

[velocivector]

What?

[404leafclover]

You like people but you're grumpy and try to be alone. And when people like you, you're still grumpy and you pretend that you're anno... annoyed. I don't get it at all.

[velocivector]

You got some strange ideas, kid.

[though of course she's spot on about some of them]
