That's a good choice.

[...]

Why did you have to quit, though?

[vigilantics]

... he was like, the only teacher who was affordable enough that my parents were fine with it, and nearby. And he was really sweet, but after a while I didn't really want to hang around men. So I quit.

[ she shrugs ]

And then life happens, and you never get around to picking it up again.

[successives]

...Got it.

[It sounds like there are several painful stories buried in there, and she isn't sure how to ask about them without making it weird, even if she is curious.]

Well, is there something stopping you from picking it up again here?

[vigilantics]

Hm... well. No, actually?

[ sometimes you just get too busy to revisit old hobbies

but then you get stuck at a potential murder summer camp ]

[successives]

Might want to get a head start now, just in case.

[Before Murder starts to occur.]

[vigilantics]

[ she looks at the store

then at natalie ]

I am in your care.

[successives]

—I didn't mean I was going to teach you. If you know Belph already, shouldn't you ask him?

[vigilantics]

... I'm not sure if I'll learn much from him.

[ all of their conversations that aren't like, genuinely serious turns into disgusting flirting and steph knows this. ]

[successives]

What is that supposed to mean?

[vigilantics]

... we'd start the lesson and then get extremely distracted like, ten minutes in?

[successives]

Well, that's not my fault.

[vigilantics]

Yes, but now you got me reeeeally excited about potential lessons?

[successives]

Lessons which I feel I should state I never actually offered you personally.

[vigilantics]

I am very annoying.

[successives]

[The absolute heaviest sigh imaginable.]

One lesson, and only because you're Jason's friend.

[She's saying that before thinking about any of the implications behind it.]

[vigilantics]

Thanks. No take backs.

[ ... ]

You're really good friends?

[successives]

...I guess you could say that. He's pretty determined to be, at least.

[Even if she's frowning!!]

[vigilantics]

[ uh huh. ]

I am not sure whether to say it's good or not that you have someone you're friends with here.

[successives]

Definitely not a good thing. He shouldn't be here at all.

[vigilantics]

No one should be here.

[ pointedly ]

But we have to make do with what we have to work with now.

[successives]

Sure, but we were specifically talking about him. It's not like I was trying to say everyone else is an asshole who deserves this.

[It's a little bit defensive, but she shrugs afterwards as if to say it isn't a big deal.]

[vigilantics]

I know. It's just... at this point, even though we'd prefer if someone isn't here, we can't do anything about it.

[ so, turn a horrible situation into something that could have advantages. ]

[successives]

That kind of just makes it suck more, though.

[vigilantics]

It does.

Everything sucks so... so much.
